Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed provide an apparatus comprising a data manager to transmit a first signal to a discovery drone, the first signal to cause the discovery drone to discover user equipment in an environment, the user equipment outside of a first network including a first drone; and collect one or more values corresponding to the user equipment; a utility function determiner to, in response to a trigger event corresponding to the one or more values, determine a first position of the first drone in the environment; and a navigation dispatcher to transmit a second signal to the first drone, the second signal to cause the first drone to regulate the first position to establish one or more connections between the user equipment and the first network.

Methods and apparatus to collect data from user equipment outside a network

Technology for a user equipment (UE) to communicate in a multiple radio access technology (multi-RAT) heterogeneous network (HetNet) is described. A radio-link-selection hysteresis threshold can be determined at the UE for a radio link between the UE and a node in the multi-RAT HetNet. A reliability value of a throughput estimate can be measured for the radio link in the multi-RAT HetNet. The radio-link-selection hysteresis threshold can be adjusted at the UE based on the reliability value to increase network stability in the multi-RAT HetNet.
