Abstract:
Network insights may be useful in various communication networks. For example, certain cellular or similar networks may benefit from the delivery of cellular network insights to subscriber devices based on global system for mobile communication (GSM) enhanced data rates for GSM evolution (EDGE) radio access network (GERAN) frequencies. For example, a method can include detecting, by a device, at least one advertised value. The at least one advertised value can be received by the device over a cellular system information message that includes information indicative of radio frequency bands relevant for cell re-selection. One or more of the indicated radio frequency bands can be indicative of the presence of the at least one advertised value. The method can also include extracting, from the at least one advertised value, at least one cellular network insight.
Abstract:
Various communication systems may benefit from notifications of network information. For example, cellular optimization may be accomplished by selective use of a data technique by applications on network devices, which may further benefit from notifications that may reduce the need for external data requests, used in coordination with application observations of current network conditions. According to certain embodiments, a method can include monitoring network service viability for a user or application. The method can also include sending a push message to a user equipment when network service viability is detected for the user or the application. The push message can indicate at least one threshold associated with network service viability.
