SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENABLING HOTSPOT FUNCTIONALITY

摘要

Systems and methods for controlling the activation of a hotspot function of a User Equipment (UE) device. Methods are provided for assessing the suitability of a UE to act as a hotspot dependent on parameters such as quality of data connection, battery life, and use of the UE by the user. Where multiple UEs are in proximity to each other a comparison of the suitability of each UE may be made and only the most suitable devices activated.
