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

Claim 0:
1. A method for removing a non-functioning Internet-of-Things (IoT) device from a cellular network, comprising:
receiving, as training data, first data from first one or more IoT devices, the training data being collected over a time interval, including, after receiving a first portion of the training data:
determining, during the time interval, characteristics of the first portion of the training data collected over the time interval; and
determining, during the time interval, a length of the time interval over which the training data is collected based at least in part on the characteristics of the first portion of the training data, wherein at least a second portion of the training data is received during a remainder of the time interval after the determining of the length of the time interval based at least in part on the characteristics of the first portion of the training data;

generating, based at least in part on the training data, a model representing an expected data profile to be transmitted to the cellular network from second one or more IoT devices;
receiving, as received data, second data from an IoT device;
comparing the received data from the IoT device to the model representing the expected data profile to be transmitted to identify the loT device as the non-functioning IoT device; and
removing, based at least in part on comparing the received data to the model representing the expected data profile to be transmitted, the non-functioning IoT device from the cellular network.
