UTILIZATION OF CROWD-SOURCED ACCESS POINT DATA FOR 5G OR OTHER NEXT GENERATION NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a first mobile device comprising a processor, a first signal from an access point device of a wireless network;
based on the first signal, determining, by the first mobile device, that the access point device has not previously sent a second signal to the first mobile device, the second signal being different than the first signal;
in response to the determining, sending, by the first mobile device to a base station device of the wireless network, request data associated with a current threshold of a first signal strength quality of the first signal, wherein the request data comprises first threshold data associated with the current threshold of the first signal strength quality;
in response to the first threshold data matching second threshold data associated with a third signal communicated between a second mobile device and the access point device receiving, by the first mobile device, the second threshold data associated with a second signal strength quality of the third signal; and
in response to the receiving the second threshold data, refreshing, by the first mobile device, the first threshold data in an access point data structure associated with the first mobile device, resulting in refreshed threshold data; and
based on the refreshed threshold data, sending, by the first mobile device to the access point device, a fourth signal.

Abstract
Utilization of collected crowd-sourced access point quality and selection data for intelligent network selection can optimize access point device selection. A cloud-based application can be utilized in conjunction with a mobile device to build a database of access point quality and thresholds suitable for real-time and other jitter-sensitive services. In one embodiment, a first mobile device can receive access point data associated with a second mobile device. The access point data associated with the second mobile device can then inform the first mobile device on whether to communicate with the access point device or utilized cellular communication.
