Systems and methods for detecting and remediating excessive messaging by wireless telecommunications devices

Abstract:

A system described herein may provide a technique for automatically mitigating excessive pings transmitted by a User Equipment ("UE") through a wireless telecommunications network by instructing the UE to take remedial action and/or by modifying the UE's access to the network. A given UE transmitting excessive pings may be automatically identified based on dynamic thresholds which may vary based on factors such as network congestion, and the instructions may include instructions to shut down, restart, or send fewer pings. The access may be modified by modifying subscription information for the UE at a subscriber information repository.
