Connectivity management and diagnostics for cellular data devices
First Claim
1. A cellular device, comprising:
- a data network indicator for providing an indication when data network connectivity associated with a cellular network does not meet performance or configuration criteria; and
an automatic network reconfiguration module, which stores an alternative network list, for automatically reconfiguring the data network connectivity to restore or improve the data network connectivity,wherein, in response to the indication of the data network indicator, the automatic network reconfiguration module is configured to;
automatically retry a registration process with the cellular network, and if retrying the registration process is unsuccessful, choose an alternative cellular network from the alternative network list to join by restarting the registration process from an International Subscriber Identity Module (IMSI) attach step.

Abstract
A cellular device comprises: a data network indicator for providing an indication when data network connectivity associated with a cellular network does not meet performance or configuration criteria; and an automatic network reconfiguration module, which stores an alternative network list, for automatically reconfiguring the data network connectivity to restore or improve the data network connectivity. In response to the indication of the data network indicator, the automatic network reconfiguration module is adapted to: automatically retry a registration process with the cellular network, and if retrying the registration process is unsuccessful, choose an alternative cellular network from the alternative list to join by restarting the registration process from an International Subscriber Identity Module (IMSI) attach step.

11. A cellular device, comprising:
-
a data network indicator for providing an indication when data network connectivity associated with a cellular network does not meet performance or configuration criteria; and an automatic network reconfiguration module for automatically reconfiguring the data network connectivity to restore or improve the data network connectivity, wherein, in response to the indication of the data network indicator, the automatic network reconfiguration module is configured to automatically restart a registration process with an alternative network, wherein the registration process includes sending a request for an alternative Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) in the alternative network to set up a Packet Data Protocol (PDP) session for the cellular device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
