Abstract

A method includes: receiving information from a source; determining a situational context for usage of UE devices in a specific area based on the received information, the UE devices communicating over a communication network and utilizing bandwidth of the communication network; predicting a location of the UE devices, the predicting being based on the received information and the determined situational context; predicting a bandwidth usage of the UE devices at the predicted location; predicting that a current bandwidth of the communications network is insufficient to provide the predicted bandwidth usage to the UE devices, the predicting that the current bandwidth is insufficient being based on the received information and the determined situational context; and deploying an aerial device that provides additional bandwidth to the communication network, the additional bandwidth being provided at the predicted location of the UE devices.
