An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) agent for forming a two-tier hybrid smart agriculture network architecture is provided. The UAV agent is configured to support two communication protocols, a short-range communication protocol and a long-range communication protocol. The agriculture sensor gathers agriculture data such as soil temperature and participates in a first-tier short range wireless communication network to send the collected data to at least one UAV agent. A UAV agent participates in one or more first-tier short-range communication networks to pick up sensor data from agriculture sensors in one or more clusters and also participates in a second-tier long-range communication network to route the collected sensor data to at least one cloud server. The tasks in both tier networks are formulated as optimization problems to achieve optimal data delivery and solved by using multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), which is implemented by the invented Focus Coordination Multi-Agent Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (FC-MADDPG) algorithm.

Proximity based selection of dispatchable location for emergency calls

Solutions enable proximity based selection of dispatchable locations for emergency calls when a first user equipment (UE), such as a handset, places an emergency call (e.g., 911) over a short range wireless interface (e.g., WiFi) using a second UE, such as a fixed wireless access (FWA) or other WiFi router, that is connected to a long range wireless network such as cellular. The first UE reports its geodetic coordinates when initiating an emergency call (or the network determines coordinates another way), and the cellular carrier's knowledge of subscriber addresses, such as billing addresses or emergency response addressed, is leveraged to select the most likely dispatchable location (e.g., the closest street address). This allows a cellular account holder (the FWA subscriber), to identify frequent guests, whose UEs are associated with different user accounts, to associate the guests'UEs with the FWA's associated street address for the purpose of making emergency calls.
