A wireless communication device includes: a storage device that stores information indicating a correspondence between an identifier and a priority that are used in data transmission; and one or more processors configured to acquire data for transmission, identify the priority of the data for transmission acquired by the one or more processors, based on the identifier of the data for transmission and the information stored in the storage device, determine, based on the priority identified by the one or more processors, a wireless communication service to be used to transmit the data for transmission, among a plurality of wireless communication services that have different communication costs and different real-time performances of transmission, respectively, and transmit the data for transmission by using the wireless communication service that is determined.

Disclosed are various embodiments for on-demand application-driven network slicing. In one embodiment, it is determined that an application executed in a particular computing device has a quality-of-service requirement. The particular computing device is connected to a communications network. A request is sent that causes a network slice allocation service to reserve a network slice having the quality-of-service requirement in the communications network. Data to or from the application is transmitted using the network slice.

Techniques for network-based and sender-based data packet prioritization for downlink transmissions are discussed herein. Packets can be tagged or associated with information indicative of a priority of the packet for downlink transmission to a user equipment (UE). A priority level can be determined based on an application identifier or type associated with a data request, a level of user interaction with the UE, network conditions, and other factors. Packets can be received by a PDCP layer of a base station for sending based on the priority. Packets may be associated with a primary priority level associated with a QCI level and a secondary priority level based on UE and/or network factors discussed herein. Packets associated with a same QCI may be prioritized to optimize transmission of downlink data associated with a single UE or between transmission of downlink data associated with a plurality of UEs.

Embodiments described herein relate to methods and apparatus for performing link adaptation processes in a network. A method in a transmitting node in a wireless local area network comprises obtaining a first traffic flow for transmitting to a receiving node, wherein the first traffic flow is associated with a first category based on a reliability requirement associated with the first traffic flow; selecting a first link adaptation process from a plurality of link adaptation processes based on the first category; and transmitting the first traffic flow to the receiving node based on the first link adaptation process.

A node in a self-assembling network includes one or more radios connected to any of other nodes in the self-assembling network and user equipment, wherein at least one of the node and the other nodes is connected to a fiber or satellite for backhaul; and one or more processors and memory storing control software, wherein the control software is executed in a distributed manner with the other nodes, and wherein the control software is configured to monitor any of positions of the nodes, monitor bandwidth of user equipment connected to any of the nodes, and monitor quality of service requirement of the user equipment, and cause performance of adjustments to the nodes based on any of the monitored positions, the monitored bandwidth, and the monitored quality of service.

A device receives, from a policy control function (PCF) in a wireless network, at least one set of user equipment device (UE)-location based conditional policy rules. The device determines a geographic location of a UE connected to the wireless network and applies one of the set of UE-location based conditional policy rules to traffic associated with the UE based on the determined geographic location.
