Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 12:
13. A method, comprising:
processing, by a processor, first data received from a network node to identify a first traffic pattern associated with a communication network, the first traffic pattern being an instance in which one or more mobiles devices are one or more of actively accessing the communication network or requesting to access the communication network;
determining a time during which the one or more mobile devices are actively accessing the communication network or requesting to access the communication network;
causing a first instruction to be sent to a network device to activate a first network function based on (1) the identified first traffic pattern and (2) a determination that the time the one or more mobile devices are 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;
causing a network support package to be stored in a database, the network support package comprising criteria defining a perfect match for the first traffic pattern, a cross reference to the first network function, and at least one rule comprising a tolerance value or range based on which the first traffic pattern is identified outside of being a perfect match;
processing, by the processor, second data received from the network node to identify a second traffic pattern associated with the communication network, the second traffic pattern being an instance in which one or more of a time, of the time, a quantity, or a location of the one or more devices one or more of actively accessing the communication network or requesting to access the communication network is different from the first traffic pattern, and incapable of being determined to be the first traffic pattern based on the criteria defining the perfect match for the first traffic pattern and the at least one rule;
causing a second instruction to be sent to the network device to deactivate the first network function based on the identified second traffic pattern;
processing, by the processor, third data received from the network node to identify the first traffic pattern based on the at least one rule; and
causing a third instruction to be sent to the network device to activate the first network function based on the first traffic pattern being identified based on the third data.
