Abstract

A radio access network intelligent controller (RIC) platform can enable various highly secure, reliable, fast communications for first responders during emergency situations. The RIC can utilize radio access network (RAN) resources, for example, beam management procedures to facilitate the use of virtual zones. The virtual zones can be generated dynamically by leveraging collaborating mobile devices from various zones. The virtual zones can be distributed entities that span across real-physical zones but are managed as a single logical entity under a common set of policies. The creation and management of virtual zones can be performed by a group of corresponding RICs as a distributed system.
