Abstract:
Misconfigured user equipment (UE) can cause additional traffic generation to server devices (e.g., 911 server device) and overload the server devices. Thus, detecting these UEs and blocking them before they hit the application servers in the mobility network can be facilitated via an identification and blocking approach. The system can comprise an identification correlator that can correlate S1 interface application protocol identification (S1-APID) associated with the UE to an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) of the UE. When the identification correlator collects data feeds from a network, the identification correlator can share this data with a call data record engine to determine if the UE is a misconfigured UE and prompt the network core to drop/block the misconfigured UE from a communication.
