Device network technology selection and display in multi-technology wireless environments
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
based on display profile data, determining disparate radio technologies that are available to facilitate a transmission of communication data with a user equipment, wherein the determining is based on a result of a scan of electromagnetic radiation bands, and wherein the display profile data comprises market-agnostic technology indicators for respective modes of operation of the user equipment, andfacilitating, via a display of the user equipment, a rendering of network indicator data that represents the disparate radio technologies, wherein the rendering facilitates an explicit presentation of a supported radio technology in a defined service area.

Abstract
Radio network technology and display thereof can be managed when multiple services and radio network technologies are available to a multi-technology mobile device. Management relies at least in part on a subscriber profile that comprises a network selection profile constructed through market policy, subscriber policy, and application policy for radio technology utilization. Network preference(s) profile is generated on per subscriber, or per subscriber type, basis and is conveyed to a subscriber station over the air. Initial subscriber profile can be delivered at a time of provisioning a multi-technology mobile device, and updated based at least upon subscriber demand, a schedule established by a network operator or service provider, or an event related to coverage area relocation or contracted services. Radio technology preferences and display of associated technologies available to a multi-technology mobile device can be controlled dynamically on a per-call and/or per-application basis.
