Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a system and method, for determining power requirements according to a data connection with a remote server that provides services to support execution of a remote application that corresponds to a local application that executes on the mobile device. The power requirements are compared to a remaining charge of a battery of the mobile device to obtain a comparison, and the remote application, in lieu of the local application that executes on the mobile device according to the comparison. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Method and apparatus for optionally running mobile applications locally or virtually

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a system and method, for determining whether to run a local application or a remote application, including retrieving, by a processor of a mobile device, metadata for a remote application that executes on the mobile device, determining power requirements from the metadata for a data connection with a remote server that provides services to support execution of the remote application, calculating if the power requirements for the data connection exceeds a remaining charge of a battery of the mobile device, and executing the remote application responsive to the power requirements for the data connection being less than the remaining charge of the battery. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A customer premises equipment (CPE) can allocate bandwidth to a primary user equipment (UE) connected to the CPE via a first network connection of first network (e.g., primary network) associated with the CPE. The allocation can be based upon a usage of bandwidth through the first network over a sample period. In response to a request from a secondary UE to connect to a wireless second network associated with CPE. In response to a determination that the secondary UE is authorized to access the second network, the CPE can facilitate the connection of the secondary UE to the CPE via the second network. The CPE can allocate bandwidth to the secondary user equipment based upon the first amount of bandwidth allocated to the primary user equipment, and based upon the bandwidth capacity of the link between the CPE and the fixed packet network.
