Abstract
Systems and methods for the management of communications related to telecommunications-based devices are provided. Telecommunications-based devices initiate requests to gateway computing devices corresponding to a radio communication network to establish data communications. The gateway computing device accepts the communication request and specifies an ordered preference of one or more communication protocols that will be used telecommunications-based devices accessing the wireless communication network. The telecommunications-based device processes the acceptance and selects a communication protocol from the ordered preference provided by the gateway computing device.
Claims22
A computer-implemented method for managing communication in a communication network, comprising:
- obtaining, at a gateway computing device, a communication request to establish data communications with a mobile device over the communication network, wherein the communication request is transmitted from the mobile device to the gateway computing device, and wherein the gateway computing device and the mobile device correspond to different physical computing devices interconnected via the communication network;
- determining, at the gateway computing device, an ordered set of communication protocols for data communications with the mobile device based, at least in part, on an attribute associated with the mobile device;
- and
- transmitting, from the gateway computing device to the mobile device, an acceptance of the communication request to form a data communication channel, the acceptance including an indication of the ordered set of communication protocols, wherein the mobile device initiates communication via the data communication channel in accordance with at least one communication protocol selected from the ordered set of protocols.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions that direct a computer system comprising one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining, at a gateway computing device, a communication request to establish data communications with a mobile device over a communication network, wherein the gateway computing device and the mobile device correspond to different physical computing devices interconnected via the communication network;
- determining, at the gateway computing device, an ordered priority of two or more communication protocols for data communications with the mobile device based, at least in part, on at least one attribute associated with the mobile device;
- and
- transmitting, from the gateway computing device to the mobile device, an indication of the two or more communication protocols, wherein the mobile device initiates communication via the gateway computing device in accordance with at least one communication protocol selected from the two or more protocols responsive to the ordered priority determined at the gateway computing device.
A system having one or more processors, the system comprising:
- an electronic data repository that stores data of associations between a plurality of communication protocols with respect to one or more mobile device attributes, the electronic data repository comprising a computer memory;
- and
- a computer system comprising one or more processors, the computer system configured to at least:
- determine, at the gateway computing device, an ordered set of communication protocols for data communications with a mobile device based, at least in part, on at least one attribute associated with the mobile device, wherein the gateway computing device and the mobile device correspond to different physical computing devices interconnected via a communication network;
- and
- transmit, from the gateway computing device to the mobile device, an acceptance of a communication request to form a data communication channel, the acceptance including an indication of the ordered set of communication protocols, wherein the mobile device initiates communication via the data communication channel in accordance with a first communication protocol selected from the ordered set of protocols.
