Back-channeled packeted data
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a memory circuit that stores, on behalf of an operator of a wireless network, user profiles that include wireless network subscriber data for providing network access to mobile terminals associated with the wireless network subscriber data; and
a processor node in the wireless network configured to;
assimilate current location data regarding the mobile terminals with the user profiles to generate assimilated current location data;
use the assimilated current location data to provide a set of analytics data representing analytics on location-based network usage by the mobile terminals;
determine, using the analytics data, a geographical area of the wireless network that is predicted to experience an increase in demand for content data, by a plurality of mobile terminals, that will impact on available network bandwidth; and
cause the content data to be cached in a cache located in the geographical area.

Abstract
A processor node stores and processes the last known location for certain mobile terminals to provide intermediate back-channel data in a form that is a function of whether the intermediate back-channel data is to be used in a situation that would encroach on information that might be sensitive to the subscriber or user of the mobile terminal, as viewed contractually, ethically or otherwise. If, for example, the subscriber or user of the mobile terminal has no such concerns (rights have been waived voluntarily by agreement with the wireless network operator or a third party, or involuntarily such as by a government mandate), the processor node generates location-identity-based back-channel data in a form that does not attempt to hide or code the user'"'"'s identity and/or specific location. This form of (nonanonymized) data can be freely used internally by processor nodes internal to the wireless carrier as well as produced for review and analysis, such as demographic analytics, for use by a third party. Further, it is possible that this information can include other information from the user profile and/or the contract information used to permit the mobile terminal access to the network.
