Abstract: An electronic device and a method for path optimization for unmanned aerial system (UAS) is provided. The electronic device includes a memory to store a machine learning model to be trained. The electronic device retrieves a first plurality of parameters related to one or more wireless environments to be utilized by the UAS and generates signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) heatmap information. The electronic device further generates state space information based on the generated SINR heatmap information and trains the machine learning model based on the generated state space information. The trained machine learning model indicates one or more movement based actions to be taken by the UAS at a plurality of states defined in the generated state space information. The electronic device further controls the UAS to travel a predefined path in at least one of the one or more wireless environments based on the trained machine learning model.

Abstract: A method of assigning responsibility for playing tones and announcements to a network element in a multimedia communications network is provided. The method includes receiving a call from a caller to a subscriber at a first network element, as part of the call a tone or an announcement needs to be played to the subscriber; determining whether a second network element is able to play the tone or announcement; playing the tone or announcement through the second network element, if the second network element is able to play the tone or announcement; attempting to locate a third network element that is able to play the tone or announcement, if the second network element is not able to meet the request; and playing the tone or announcement through the third network element, if the third network element is located.
