Abstract
Network insights may be useful in various communication networks. For example, certain cellular or similar networks may benefit from the delivery of cellular network insights to subscriber devices based on virtual international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI). For example, a method can include detecting, by a device, at least one paging message over a cellular system. The method can also include extracting, from the at least one paging message, at least one cellular network insight including at least one cellular network condition. The paging message may include a virtual IMSI.
Claims30
A method, comprising:
- detecting, by a device, at least one paging message over a cellular system;
- and
- extracting, from the at least one paging message, at least one cellular network insight comprising at least one cellular network condition.
A method, comprising:
- detecting, at a device, a first level of network congestion on a cellular network;
- and
- in response to the detecting of the first level of network congestion, transmitting a paging message, wherein the paging message comprises an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) value over the cellular network, wherein the IMSI value encodes the first level of network congestion on the cellular network.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to
- detect, by a device, at least one paging message over a cellular system;
- and
- extract, from the at least one paging message, at least one cellular network insight comprising at least one cellular network condition.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to
- detect, at a device, a first level of network congestion on a cellular network;
- and
- in response to the detection of the first level of network congestion, transmit a paging message, wherein the paging message comprises an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) value over the cellular network, wherein the IMSI value encodes the first level of network congestion on the cellular network.
