Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a radio device that has first and second subscriber identity modules; radio resources; a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations of establishing a first communications network connection associated with the first subscriber identity module; establishing a second communications network connection associated with the second subscriber identity module; determining a communications activity on the first communications network connection; pausing or suspending activities of the second communications network connection; and blocking use of the radio resources by the second communications network connection. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a machine-readable medium with executable instructions that facilitate performance of operations by a processor including receiving a registration for a trajectory of a satellite; estimating a zone of occupancy at a future time for the satellite; determining an interference of the satellite from the zone of occupancy at the future time; determining a deconfliction for minimizing or eliminating the interference; and sending the deconfliction to a controller of the satellite. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving, from a computing device, a validation request for validating an individual associated with a mobile device equipped with an authentication app communicatively coupled with an authentication system, obtaining request data from a user validation system, enabling, using the request data, the computing device to communicate with the user validation system to facilitate the validation, wherein the validation involves the user validation system triggering the authentication system to provide access information to the computing device, the authentication system authenticating the individual/mobile device, the authentication system providing, to the user validation system, identification information of the individual based on the authenticating, and the user validation system determining a validation result based on data relating to the identification information. Aspects also include obtaining the validation result from the user validation system and causing the validation result to be presented. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device having a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations including: receiving a path of a threat vehicle; calculating a closest approach distance based on a current position of a drone and the path of the threat vehicle; determining that the closest approach distance is within a threshold; and sending a command to the drone to descend to a safe altitude. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example: receiving, from a first mobile communication device of a first user, first information associated with a computer-readable indicia that has been scanned by the first mobile communication device, wherein the computer-readable indicia had been displayed by a second mobile communication device of a second user at a time of being scanned by the first mobile communication device; responsive to receiving of the first information, obtaining from one or more first databases first characterizing data that is descriptive of one or more characteristics of the second user; and sending to the first mobile communication device the first characterizing data, wherein the sending facilitates a presentation by the first mobile communication device of the one or more characteristics of the second user. Other embodiments are disclosed.
