Patent number: 11943211Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for monitoring a behavior of a communication device by using network controllers and network manager. The communication device is included in a network comprising a set of communication devices and a network manager allowing access by the communication devices to a communication network. A communication device may send a broadcast message to available network controllers and a network manager. The communication device may also send a service request to the network manager, the service request being routed by the network manager to a communication network and sent in broadcast by the network manager to the network controllers. Using the service request as the basis for a first report on behavior of the communication device, the communication device may additionally verify the first report by a report by network controllers based on the service request received from network manager.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: NOKIA TECHNOLOGIES OYInventors: Matteo Pontecorvi, Matteo Signorini
