Abstract
An apparatus, method and computer program product for: receiving information relating to data consumption characteristics of at least one user device, predicting, based on the received information, at least one data consumption area at a first point in time, determining one or more data transmission modes based on the received information and the predicted at least one data consumption area and instructing at least one communication network element to provide data transmission at the first point in time according to the determined data transmission mode.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive information relating to data consumption characteristics of at least one user device;
- predict, based on the received information, at least one data consumption area at a first point in time;
- determine one or more data transmission modes based on the received information and the predicted at least one data consumption area;
- and
- instruct at least one communication network element to provide data transmission at the first point in time according to the determined data transmission mode.
An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least to perform:
- determine data consumption characteristics of a user of the apparatus;
- associate the apparatus with at least one user group based on the data consumption characteristics;
- and
- inform a server device about the at least one user group with which the apparatus is associated.
