Abstract:
1. A system comprising a signal transfer point (STP) node for managing aggressive behavior of a wireless device in a wireless network, the STP node comprising: a STP processor; and a STP memory coupled with the STP processor to store a plurality of routing instructions, and to further store, on a per wireless device basis, a wireless device signature and a rule set, both of which are indexed by a wireless device identifier, wherein the wireless device signature defines an aggressive behavior of the wireless device that repeatedly retries to perform a network signaling in a time frame such that a threshold for the retries is exceeded, and wherein the routing instructions direct transmission of wireless device signals on a per wireless device basis, the STP memory configured to provide the STP processor with instructions which when executed cause the STP processor to perform STP operations to: determine an aggressive behavior data of received wireless signals that are transmitted from the wireless device to the STP node; determine the rule set for the received wireless signals, wherein the rule set comprises first logic to compare the wireless device signature to the aggressive behavior data of the received wireless signals, and second logic to provision one of the routing instructions in the STP memory; identify, in accordance with the first logic in the rule set, presence of the aggressive behavior of the wireless device; provision, in accordance with the second logic in the rule set, to modify the one of the routing instructions in the STP memory to control a transmission function of the STP node for the received wireless signals; and perform real-time throttling, re-directing or blocking of the received wireless signals that are identified according to the first logic as aggressive behavior signals utilizing the one of the modified routing instructions provisioned in the STP memory.
