Device network technology selection and display in multi-technology wireless environments

摘要

Radio network technology and display thereof can be managed when multiple services and radio network technologies are available to a multi-technology mobile device. Management relies at least in part on a subscriber profile that comprises a network selection profile constructed through market policy, subscriber policy, and application policy for radio technology utilization. Network preference(s) profile is generated on per subscriber, or per subscriber type, basis and is conveyed to a subscriber station over the air. Initial subscriber profile can be delivered at a time of provisioning a multi-technology mobile device, and updated based at least upon subscriber demand, a schedule established by a network operator or service provider, or an event related to coverage area relocation or contracted services. Radio technology preferences and display of associated technologies available to a multi-technology mobile device can be dynamically controlled on a per-call and/or per-application basis.

1. A user equipment, comprising:
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
receiving display profile data via over-the-air signaling,based on the display profile data, selecting network indicator data that is to be displayed via a display screen of the user equipment, wherein the network indicator data is indicative of a first network indicator that represents a first radio technology of disparate radio technologies that is utilized to facilitate a communication between the user equipment and a first cellular network device, and a second network indicator that represents a second radio technology of the disparate radio technologies that is available to facilitate the communication via a second cellular network device, andfacilitating a rendering of the network indicator data via the display screen.
