Apparatuses and methods for enhancing network controls based on communication device information

A non-transitory, machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:

• determining a first capability of a communication device according to a first identifier associated with the communication device;
• generating a first prediction regarding utilization of a first resource in a first network based on first data received over the first network;
• and
• generating a first directive for the communication device based on the first prediction and the first capability, wherein the first directive directs the processing system to utilize a first radio access technology for a first communication session.

A method, comprising:

• determining, by a processing system including a processor, a first capability of a first communication device;
• generating, by the processing system, a first prediction regarding a utilization of a resource of a network based on first data received from the first communication device over the network;
• and
• generating, by the processing system and in accordance with the first prediction and the first capability, a directive for the first communication device to engage in a first communication session utilizing a first radio access technology.
