Abstract: A method, system and server for processing low balance data session requests are provided. The server includes a memory storing an account record including an account balance and a count of failed service requests; a network interface; and a processor interconnected with the memory and the network interface. The processor receives a request to access a data service for a mobile device corresponding to the account record; and to determine whether the account balance is sufficient to access the data service. When the account balance is not sufficient, the processor compares the count of failed service requests to a threshold. When the count exceeds the threshold, the processor sends a notification to the mobile device, and when the count does not exceed the threshold, the processor increments the count. The processor also returns a message denying access to the data service.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method is proposed which are configured to store information about a certain status of a subscriber, to receive an authentication request for the subscriber via the interface, and to reject the authentication request for the subscriber in case the certain status of the subscriber is valid. Furthermore, an apparatus and a method are proposed which are configured to detect a certain status of a subscriber and to establish a notification including information about the certain status of the subscriber, and to send the notification to a network control element of the subscriber.

Abstract: Detection of non-entitlement of a subscriber to a service in communication networks An apparatus and a method is proposed which are configured to store information about a certain status of a subscriber, to receive an authentication request for the subscriber via the interface, and to reject the authentication request for the subscriber in case the certain status of the subscriber is valid. Furthermore, an apparatus and a method are proposed which are configured to detect a certain status of a subscriber and to establish a notification including information about the certain status of the subscriber, and to send the notification to a network control element of the subscriber.
