Abstract
A UE includes a transceiver. The transceiver is configured to perform network activity for the UE. The UE further includes a processor operably coupled to the transceiver. The processor is configured to determine whether a change in network activity for the UE exceeds a metric, and upon determination that the metric is exceed, initiate an anomalous event detection process, and determine whether an anomalous event is detected. The processor is further configured to, upon detection of an anomalous event, determine a network load level, and modify, based on the determined network load level, a connection configuration of the UE.
Claims20
A user equipment (UE) comprising:
- a transceiver configured to perform network activity for the UE;
- and
- a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to:
- determine whether a change in network activity for the UE exceeds a metric;
- upon a determination that the metric is exceeded:
- initiate an anomalous event detection process;
- and
- determine whether an anomalous event is detected;
- upon detection of an anomalous event, determine a network load level;
- and
- perform, based on the determined network load level, at least one of:
- switching a radio access technology (RAT) of the UE from a first RAT to a second RAT, or
- connecting the UE to a virtual private network (VPN).
A method of operating a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- determining whether a change in network activity for the UE exceeds a metric;
- upon determining that the metric is exceeded:
- initiating an anomalous event detection process;
- and
- determining whether an anomalous event is detected;
- upon detection of an anomalous event, determining a network load level;
- and
- based on the determined network load level, performing at least one of:
- switching a radio access technology (RAT) of the UE from a first RAT to a second RAT, or
- connecting the UE to a virtual private network (VPN).
