Application: Method and apparatus for terminal device behavior classification (Patent ID: US20230403548A1)
The patent filed by Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson describes methods and apparatus for terminal device behavior classification. The method involves obtaining communication measurement data related to terminal devices, determining terminal implementation characteristics based on this data, and sending these characteristics and policies to other network functions. The policy for the group of terminal devices is determined based on their implementation characteristics. The communication measurement data includes various performance metrics like handover performance and transmitter data, and the terminal implementation characteristics can include physical layer characteristics or abnormal behavior.
The patent also covers methods for second network functions to receive terminal characteristics and policies from the first network function, determine communication control based on these characteristics, and generate communication control commands for terminal devices. The communication measurement data can be tagged with group identifiers, and the communication control commands are based on the terminal implementation characteristics and policies. The terminal devices themselves can receive communication control commands from the second network function based on the group policies and characteristics determined earlier.
