System and method for responding to aggressive behavior associated with wireless devices

A method of a control center server and a signal transfer point (STP) node for managing aggressive behavior of a wireless device in a wireless network, the method comprising:

• at the control center server:
• predetermining a wireless device signal behavior to develop a wireless device signature that defines an aggressive behavior of the wireless device indexed by a wireless device identifier, wherein the aggressive behavior of the wireless device is present when the wireless device repeatedly retries to perform a network signaling in a time frame such that a threshold for the retries is exceeded;
• retrieving at least one data log from at least one network element comprising at least one of a diagnostic device, a Home Location Register (HLR), a Mobile Switching Center (MSC), a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN), a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), a Short Message Service Center (SMSC), the STP node, and a Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) server by utilizing the wireless device identifier;
• determining a rule set to modify the aggressive behavior, wherein the rule set is indexed by the wireless device identifier and comprises first logic to compare the wireless device signature to aggressive behavior data contained in the least one data log, and second logic to provision the STP node to control a transmission function of the STP node;
• identifying aggressive behavior signals transmitted from the wireless device in accordance with the rule set when the aggressive behavior signals correlates to the aggressive behavior data;
• and
• transmitting a provisioning instruction to provision the STP node for real-time throttling, re-directing or blocking of the aggressive behavior signals transmitted from the wireless device to the STP node, and
• at the STP node:
• updating data in a database utilizing the wireless device identifier;
• receiving, from the wireless device, signals indicating the aggressive behavior of the wireless device;
• identifying the data in the database utilizing the wireless device identifier;
• and
• throttling, re-directing or blocking the transmission of the signals of the wireless device according to the data.

A system for managing aggressive behavior of a wireless device in a wireless network, the system comprising:

• a control center server comprising:
• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with instructions which when executed cause the processor to perform operations to:
• predetermine a wireless device signal behavior to develop a wireless device signature that defines an aggressive behavior of the wireless device indexed by a wireless device identifier, wherein the aggressive behavior of the wireless device is present when the wireless device repeatedly retries to perform a network signaling in a time frame such that a threshold for the retries is exceeded;
• retrieve at least one data log from at least one network element comprising at least one of a signal transfer point (STP) node, a diagnostic device, a Home Location Register (HLR), a Mobile Switching Center (MSC), a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN), a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), a Short Message Service Center (SMSC), a Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) server by utilizing the wireless device identifier;
• determine a rule set to modify the aggressive behavior, wherein the rule set is indexed by the wireless device identifier and comprises first logic to compare the wireless device signature to aggressive behavior data contained in the least one data log, and second logic to provision the STP node to control a transmission function of the STP node;
• identify aggressive behavior signals transmitted from the wireless device in accordance with the rule set when the aggressive behavior signals correlates to the aggressive behavior data;
• and
• transmit a provisioning instruction to provision the STP node for real-time throttling, re-directing or blocking of the aggressive behavior signals transmitted from the wireless device to the STP node.
