Implementing network constraint exceptions on a per device basis is disclosed. A network manager determines that a subscriber device associated with a subscriber network is to be granted an exception to a network constraint of the subscriber network. An aggregation device that is coupled to a set of subscriber networks including the subscriber network is sent aggregation device instructions to grant the exception to packets associated with the subscriber device that flow through the aggregation device. A network gateway device that serves as a network gateway for the subscriber network is sent gateway device instructions to associate packets associated with the subscriber device with information for identifying the packets as being associated with the subscriber device.

An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform determining, per a communication service to which resources are to be allocated, a metric value using a first predefined set of rules, determining, per a sensing service to which resources are to be allocated, a metric value using a second predefined set of rules, sorting communication services to which resources are to be allocated and sensing services to which resources are to be allocated based on the metric values to a sorted order using a third rule, and allocating resources for the communication services and the sensing services based on the sorted order.

A method for distributing data process according to technical resource capacity availability and constraints across a network is disclosed. The method includes receiving, at a database, a feed request for processing by a computing resource, among a network of computing resources that are geographically dispersed. Further, the method includes identifying, among the network of computing resources, a computing resource for processing the feed request based on the at least one attribute and processing capacity of the computing resources, and assigning the feed request for processing to the identified computing resource in real-time and without predetermined assignment to process increase in data volume by leveraging remotely located and/or underutilized computing resources.

A communication method and a communication device are provided. The method includes: establishing a scenario and determining a task of the scenario, where a plurality of communication systems exist in the scenario, and the task is completed via at least one communication service; selecting at least one communication system for the task from the plurality of communication systems; and controlling the at least one communication system to transmit the communication service required by the task.

A method for operating a device in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes receiving a plurality of embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) profiles, each eSIM profile being associated with at least one quality of service (QoS) feature, performing a primary mapping between the plurality of eSIM profiles and applications available on the device based on QoS requirements of the applications, and performing transfer of data belonging to the applications using the mapped eSIM profiles corresponding to the primary mapping.

A network device may receive a request to connect to a network from a user equipment device and perform a first admission control procedure to determine whether to temporarily allow the user equipment device to connect to the network. The network device may receive information identifying a slice associated with the user equipment device in response to determining to temporarily allow the user equipment device to connect to the network. The network device may perform a second admission control procedure to determine whether to allow the user equipment device to connect to the network. The second admission control procedure is based on the slice associated with the user equipment device. The network device may allocate network resources to the user equipment device in response to determining to allow the user equipment device to connect to the network.

Systems and methods are provided for transmitting low latency traffic in next generation wireless local area networks. A new Media Access Control (MAC) layer frame can be transmitted by an AP to establish a reserved time period during which interference from/collisions with other stations transmitting non-high priority data is avoided. Stations with non-high priority data queued for transmission can defer accessing a channel on which to effectuate the transmission until the reserved time period expires.

Adaptive ambient services are provided. In some embodiments, an adaptive ambient service includes providing an ambient service profile. In some embodiments, an ambient service includes implementing an ambient service profile for assisting control of the communications device use of an ambient service on a wireless network, in which the ambient service profile includes a plurality of service policy settings, and in which the ambient service profile is associated with an ambient service plan that provides for initial access to the ambient service with limited service capabilities prior to activation of a new service plan; monitoring use of the ambient service based on the ambient service profile; and adapting the ambient service profile based on the monitored use of the ambient service.

A method and apparatus for updating a User Equipment (UE) policy and a computer storage medium are provided. The method includes that: UE receives a first UE policy and/or first indication information from a network device; and the UE executes an operation of updating an association between an application data stream and a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session and/or an operation of updating Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) access selection and/or an operation of updating network slice information and/or an operation of updating a PDU session based on the first UE policy and/or the first indication information.

A method and apparatus are provided for dynamic resource allocation, scheduling and signaling for variable data real time services (RTS) in long term evolution (LTE) systems. Preferably, changes in data rate for uplink RTS traffic are reported to an evolved Node B (eNB) by a UE using layer 1, 2 or 3 signaling. The eNB dynamically allocates physical resources in response to a change in data rate by adding or removing radio blocks currently assigned to the data flow, and the eNB signals the new resource assignment to the UE. In an alternate embodiment, tables stored at the eNB and the UE describe mappings of RTS data rates to physical resources under certain channel conditions, such that the UE uses the table to locally assign physical resources according to changes in UL data rates. Additionally, a method and apparatus for high level configuration of RTS data flows is also presented.
