Abstract
Systems and methods are described for a mechanism that supports the proactive reservation of network resources for a specified future time period. This reservation can be initiated manually by a user or automatically by an on-device agent that analyzes contextual signals, such as calendar events or location history, to anticipate a future need for enhanced connectivity. Following a pre-negotiation phase, the network can reserve the resources and deliver an updated routing policy to a user device, for example, a smartphone, smart watch, or augmented reality glasses. This can allow the device to activate the pre-provisioned network slice at the scheduled time, thereby improving the likelihood of securing high-quality connectivity for data-intensive or latency-sensitive applications by mitigating delays associated with on-demand allocation.
