Abstract

A network operating system agent can operate to facilitate communications to a network device and a managing server of self-organizing network devices to exchange contexts between an application managed by a user equipment device and the network device. Relationships between self-organizing devices and applications of a user equipment device can be extended so that the network devices are context aware of the application settings. In response to detecting the user equipment device communicating via the network devices, a set of user equipment device parameters and a set of application settings of the application can be communicated to the network devices. The application settings can be modified according to the a set of radio network performance settings of the self-organizing network devices with the user equipment device based on the set of user equipment device parameters and the set of application settings of the application.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;

based on application context data, associated with an application managed by a mobile device, determining network context data associated with a network device, wherein the application context data comprises task data indicative of an interruptible task associated with the application; and

in response to detecting that the mobile device is communicating via the network device, directing, based on the network context data and information associated with the application and the mobile device, delivery data from the network device to the mobile device, wherein the delivery data comprises time shift data that is employable to delay a delivery of communication data associated with the application.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the information comprises sensor data sensed via a sensor of the mobile device.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the sensor is an accelerometer.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the delivery data is employable to facilitate profiling of the communication data.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the network device is a network device of self-organizing network devices of a communication network.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the delivery data is employable to determine a load associated with the self-organizing network devices.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise:

based on a first portion of the information that represents a parameter of the mobile device, modifying a second portion of the information that represents a setting of the application.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the application is a first application and the operations further comprise:

based on an operation of a second application managed by the mobile device, facilitating a modification of the information.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise:

based on the information, facilitating a modification of a radio network performance setting associated with the network device.

10. A method, comprising:

facilitating, by a system comprising a processor, a transmission of context data between a user equipment and a network device of a communication network, wherein the context data comprises task data associated with an interruptible task of an application being managed by the user equipment;

determining, by the system, setting information associated with the application; and

based on the setting information and the context data, initiating, by the system, a transfer of delivery data indicative of a delivery option comprising a time shifting parameter that is employable to delay a transfer of communication data that is to be transmitted from the network device to the user equipment.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the initiating comprises initiating the transfer based on sensor data sensed via the user equipment.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the initiating comprises initiating the transfer based on accelerometer data sensed by an accelerometer of the user equipment.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the initiating comprises initiating the transfer based on power data associated with a battery of the user equipment.

14. The method of claim 11, wherein the initiating comprises initiating the transfer based on network observed signaling data representing a signaling associated with the network device.

15. The method of claim 11, wherein the initiating comprises initiating the transfer of delivery data comprising profiling data that is employable to facilitate profiling of the communication data.

16. The method of claim 11, wherein the initiating comprises initiating the transfer of delivery data comprising reprioritization data that is employable to facilitate packet reprioritization of data packets of the communication data.

17. A machine readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

based on application context data, associated with an application managed by a user equipment, determining network context data associated with a network device, wherein the application context data comprises task data representative of an interruptible task associated with the application; and

in response to detecting that the user equipment is communicating via the network device, directing, based on the network context data and information associated with the application and the user equipment, delivery data from the network device to the user equipment, wherein the delivery data comprises time shifting data that enables delaying a delivery of communication data associated with the application.

18. The machine readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein the delivery data comprises profiling data that is employable to facilitate profiling of the communication data.

19. The machine readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein the delivery data comprises reprioritization data that is employable to facilitate packet reprioritization of data packets of the communication data.

20. The machine readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein the information comprises sensor data determined by a sensor of the user equipment.
