Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory computer-readable memory device storing instructions executable by processors of a system, the non-transitory computer-readable memory device comprising instructions that, when executed cause the system to:
identify transmission information related to a performing of an over-the-air (OTA) update operation, wherein the transmission information identifies a location of targeted user equipment (UE) devices that are to receive an OTA update file via one or multiple serving cells;
determine that a size of the OTA update file exceeds a threshold file size;
identify, based on the determination and a minimization of interference to non-targeted UE devices served by the one or multiple serving cells, an antenna beam pattern for use in delivering the OTA update file;
select, based on the antenna beam pattern, a network device from among candidate network devices for the performing of the OTA update operation;
receive the OTA update file;
physically relocate the network device to a location proximate to a customer premises area in which the targeted UE devices are located, without physically accessing the customer premises area for a duration of the OTA update; and
transfer the OTA update file to the targeted UE devices according to the transmission information.
