Assignee: RAKUTEN MOBILE, INC.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 14:
15. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
process first data received from a network node to determine a mobile device is actively accessing a communication network and to identify a first traffic pattern associated with the communication network;
search a database for a first network function corresponding to the identified first traffic pattern;
determine a time during which the mobile device is actively accessing the communication network;
cause a first instruction to be sent to a network device to activate the first network function based on (1) the identified first traffic pattern and (2) a determination that the time the mobile device is actively accessing the communication network is within a time period defined in at least one rule associated with the first network function stored in the database;
process second data received from the network node to determine the communication network is no longer being accessed by the mobile device and to identify a second traffic pattern;
search the database for a second network function corresponding to the identified second traffic pattern; and
cause a second instruction to be sent to the network device to deactivate the first network function and to activate the second network function based on the identified second traffic pattern.
