## Abstract

A method, where the method includes discovering an event where at least one device is offline and instantiating an emergency mode causing the at least one device to permit data or message aggregation. The method further includes defining a community of devices including an identity of the at least one device and establishing communication between the at least one device and a mobile aggregation device. The method further includes when the mobile aggregation device is in communication with the at least one device, aggregating a payload of a message or data from the at least one device and the community having an artificial intelligence instantiated as a virtual network function or network device, the community communicating with the mobile aggregation device to receive data from the at least one device, and the artificial intelligence being configured to assess the event based on the data obtained by the mobile aggregation device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method comprising:
discovering, by a processor, an event where at least one device is offline;
instantiating, by the processor, an emergency mode causing the at least one device to permit data or message aggregation;
defining, by the processor, a community of devices including an identity of the at least one device;
establishing, by the processor, communication between the at least one device and a mobile aggregation device; and
when the mobile aggregation device is in communication with the at least one device, aggregating, by the processor, a payload of a message or data from the at least one device,
wherein the community of devices further comprises an artificial intelligence instantiated as a virtual network function or network device,
wherein the community of devices communicates with the mobile aggregation device to receive data from the at least one device, and
wherein the artificial intelligence is configured to assess the event based on the data obtained by the mobile aggregation device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising:
moving the mobile aggregation device to establish communication with a receiving site in communication with a network; and
deploying the payload to the network via the receiving site.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein establishing communication between the at least one device and the mobile aggregation device comprises moving the mobile aggregation device into communication with an aggregation site, wherein the aggregation site is in communication with the at least one device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein instantiating the emergency mode causing the at least one device to permit data or message aggregation comprises boosting a signal at the aggregation site, when the mobile aggregation device is in communication with the aggregation site.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 further comprising sending a parked signal to the at least one device.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein the parked signal comprises at least one of: an emergency mode display signal, an acknowledgement signal, a survey signal, a query signal, or a mobile aggregation device schedule signal.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 further comprising gathering data within the community of devices relating to the at least one device and generating a representation of the event from the data within the community of devices and communicating the representation via an output.

### Claim 8

A computer-readable storage medium storing executable instructions that when executed by a computing device cause said computing device to effectuate operations comprising:
discovering an event where at least one device is offline;
instantiating an emergency mode causing the at least one device to permit data or message aggregation;
defining a community of devices including an identity of the at least one device;
establishing communication between the at least one device and a mobile aggregation device; and
when the mobile aggregation device is in communication with the at least one device, aggregating a payload of a message or data from the at least one device,
wherein the community of devices further comprises an artificial intelligence instantiated as a virtual network function or network device,
wherein the community of devices communicates with the mobile aggregation device to receive data from the at least one device, and
