For example, a method described herein can include, identifying a group of different directions radiating from beamforming antenna equipment of base station equipment. The method can further include facilitating transmitting a first beamformed signal according to a first direction of the group of different directions. Further, the method can include facilitating transmitting a second beamformed signal according to a second direction of the group of different directions, with the second direction being selected based on a sequence of directions, and where transmitting beamformed signals to the group of different directions is based on the sequence of directions can facilitate establishment of wireless coverage for a corresponding geographic area.

Adjusting a network path between a user equipment and a network edge cloud instance is disclosed. The adjustment of the network path can be based on performance of the network path. The performance of the network path can be ranked, based on performance, against other network paths. In an embodiment, the other network paths can be between the user equipment and the network edge cloud instance. Additionally, the other network paths can be between the user equipment and another network edge cloud instance that can be located remotely from the network edge cloud instance. In an embodiment, a recommendation can be provided to a cloud service provider to enable the cloud service provider to adjust a characteristic of an application or service performed by a network edge cloud instance. The disclosed subject matter can provide advantages over conventional cloud instances that are typically supported on a device located distant from a network device operated by a network provider.
Generating a core instance via a first access network device of a first access network, wherein the core instance facilitates operation of a second access network via a second access network device of the second access network is disclosed. Generally, implementing a core network can be highly resource intensive, e.g., high labor, equipment, and monetary costs. The level of resources that are conventionally committed in developing a core instance can be a significant barrier for many small or medium sized entities. The disclosed subject matter discloses a configuration component that can generate a core instance that can be performed at a remotely located access network. In an embodiment, a remotely implemented core instance can be updatable. Further, in response to a remotely implemented core instance failing to perform, a monitoring component can facilitate a failover operation.
An access identifier and network slice access management component (ANMC) is disclosed. The ANMC can receive service access update information from an entity, for example a customer/enterprise, that be used to update service access of a user equipment (UE) to services of a network. Embodiments of the ANMC can facilitate updating an access identity parameter, updating an access priority parameter, updating a network slice access parameter, or combinations thereof. An ANMC can be embodied in a virtualized network function, as hardware, as software, or combinations thereof. An ANMC can be local to a network supporting the UE or can be located remotely from the network supporting the UE, such as in execution on a server of a cloud platform. The ANMC can support management of UE service access by an entity other than a carrier supporting the UE via a device external to a network of the carrier.
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device in which a processing system detects installation of a subscriber identity module (SIM) on a communication device configured for connection to the network; the SIM includes a radio policy manager (RPM) provided by the network operator to manage network policies. The system also monitors connection of the communication device to the network and communications between the SIM and a processor of the communication device. The RPM determines whether the communication device is compliant with the network policies; if the communication device is not compliant with the network policies, the RPM causes the connection of the communication device to the network to be disabled. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Accessibility of media associated with mobile devices can be modified based on specific scenarios. For example, historical data associated with a relationship between users of a first mobile device and s second mobile device can be used to prioritize media displayed on one or more of the mobile devices. The historical data can include locations, dates, times, and/or any other relevant characteristics associated with the relationship. Alternatively, media can be displayed on the first mobile device, which is relevant to a user of a second mobile device, in response to a condition associated with a recognition pattern being determined to have been satisfied.
