Location aware assignment of resources for push to transfer (ptt) communication systems in a fifth generation (5g) network or other next generation wireless communication system

Abstract

The technologies described herein are generally directed to facilitating operation of system that can include a processor and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations. In embodiments, the operations can include receiving, from a source user equipment, a first request to communicate to a destination group of user equipment via a multi-cast connection. Further operations can include identifying respective service areas of ones of the destination group, comprising a service area of a destination user equipment of the destination group. In some embodiments, operations can include generating a second request to initiate the multi-cast connection, the second request comprising the destination group of user equipment with the respective service areas, wherein the respective service area of the destination user equipment is for selection, by second network equipment based on the service area, a gateway group of base station equipment.
