Patent number: 12167495Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards intelligently steering a roaming mobile communications device to a roaming carrier that is preferred by the mobile device's home network. When a mobile device requests to connect to a first visited network, decision logic of the home network determines whether the first visited network is the preferred visited network. If not, the home network returns a steer message (via the first visited network) to steer the mobile device to a preferred visited network. In one implementation, the steering decision is performed at the network edge by a home security edge protection proxy (H-SEPP) node coupled to a visiting SEPP (V-SEPP) node, which reduces hops and latency. What the home network considers preferred can be changed (e.g., dynamically) as desired by the home network. Also described is service-based steering that selects a different visited network based on a particular service requested by a mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2022Date of Patent: December 10, 2024Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventor: Sreejith Menon

Publication number: 20240406817Abstract: An enhanced automatic neighbor relation (“ANR”) function can estimate a plurality of terrestrial cells within a coverage area of an aerial cell. The enhanced ANR function can monitor an exchange of a serving cell unique identifier sent to a target cell and a target cell unique identifier sent to a serving cell. The enhanced ANR function can determine a serving cell type and a target cell type, wherein the serving cell type and the target cell type identify the serving cell and the target cell, respectively, as either a terrestrial cell type or an aerial cell type. The enhanced ANR function can then determine whether a serving cell neighbor relation table (“NRT”) associated with the serving cell, a target cell NRT associated with the target cell, or both would be compromised if a corresponding NR is added into the serving cell NRT and the target cell NRT.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2024Publication date: December 5, 2024Applicants: AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Daniel Vivanco, David Beppler, Slawomir Stawiarski
