USER DEVICE SMART CELL SELECTION

摘要

Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for minimizing data overhead in a cellular network. In one embodiment, a method includes determining, by a mobile device connected to the cellular network via a connection point, that the connection point has limited capacity; determining, by the mobile device, location information including location data indicating a current location of the mobile device; and determining, by the mobile device, an offload alternative connection point based on the determined location of the mobile device. In some cases, the method includes initiating disconnecting of the mobile device from a current connection point; and initiating connecting the mobile device to the offload alternative connection point.

主权项

1. A method for minimizing control signaling load by reducing probability for handovers in a cellular network, the method comprising:
determining, by a mobile device, that a data traffic session over the cellular network will be initiated by the mobile device within a predetermined period of time; determining, by the mobile device, that the mobile device is in an idle mode with the cellular network, in response to determining that the data traffic session will be initiated and the mobile device is in the idle mode, determining, by the mobile device, location information including location data indicating a current location of the mobile device; and determining, by the mobile device, at least one potential connection point based at least in part on the determined location of the mobile device.
