Abstract
When a sub6 user equipment (UE) device is in a millimeter wave (mmW) cell coverage, the sub6 UE device can improperly display a 5G+ icon based on a long term evolution (LTE) anchor cell. However, if the sub6 UE device moves to an area comprising a sub6 cell, when the sub6 UE device is on the LTE cell, the sub6 UE device can utilize the sub6 cell and thus properly display the 5G icon, due to the 5G availability on the sub6 band. Additionally, when the sub6 UE device transitions to a mmW and sub6 area, then the 5G icon can also be appropriately displayed because the sub6 UE device can utilize the sub6 cell from the LTE anchor cell even if the sub6 UE device cannot utilize another mmW cell.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a mobile device comprising a processor, message data from a network device of a wireless network to which the mobile device is connected, wherein the message data comprises layer indication data representative of a functionality of the wireless network;
- based on a type of the mobile device, analyzing, by the mobile device, the layer indication data;
- and
- in response to a condition associated with the layer indication data being determined to have been satisfied and based on the analyzing, generating, by the mobile device, display data representative of a wireless service associated with the functionality of the wireless network.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- obtaining message data from a network device of a wireless network, wherein the message data comprises layer indication data representative of a functionality of the wireless network to which a mobile device has been determined to have connected;
- based on a type of the mobile device, facilitating evaluating the layer indication data;
- and
- based on a condition associated with the layer indication data being determined to have been satisfied as a result of the evaluating, displaying data representative of a wireless service associated with the functionality of the wireless network.
A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- facilitating accessing layer indication data, representative of a functionality of a wireless network to which a mobile device has been determined to have connected, from a network device of the wireless network;
- based on a type of the mobile device, facilitating analyzing the layer indication data by the mobile device;
- and
- in response to a condition associated with the layer indication data being determined to have been satisfied as a result of the analyzing, facilitating generating display data representative of a wireless service associated with the functionality of the wireless network.
