System and method for providing detection of signaling-only engagements in a telecommunication network |
摘要 |
A network server may be configured to prevent user equipment (UE) from communicating payload information across a telecommunication network without paying for the access or use of the network. This may be accomplished by the network server receiving signaling information relating to the UE from a first network component, receiving data plane information relating to the UE from a second network component, determining whether the UE is a signaling-only device based on the received information, and performing a responsive operation when it is determined that the user equipment device is a signaling-only device. The responsive operation may include applying a policy rule to the signaling communications of the UE when it is determined that the UE is a signaling-only device. The policy rule may be charging rule that causes a charging system to bill a subscriber account or a network access rule that blocks the signaling communications of the UE. |

1. A method of preventing a user equipment device from communicating payload information in a telecommunication network without sufficiently paying for use of the telecommunication network, the method comprising:
receiving in a processor signaling information relating to the user equipment device from a first network component in the telecommunication network; receiving in the processor data plane information relating to the user equipment device from a second network component in the telecommunication network; determining whether the user equipment device is a signaling-only device based on the received signaling information and the received data plane information, wherein determining whether the user equipment device is a signaling-only device includes computing a ratio between connections in which no payload information was transmitted and connections in which payload information was transmitted; and performing a responsive operation when it is determined that the user equipment device is a signaling-only device. |
