Abstract

Registration rejections are reported to a universal integrated circuit card (UICC). Remote access can be provide to registration rejection data stored in the UICC, the registration rejection data can be transmitted to a service provider, one or more UICC applications can be executed based on the registration rejection data, and/or the registration rejection data can be logged or tracked. In addition, action taken by the UICC can be automated based on the registration rejection using artificial intelligence.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a network device comprising a processor, first registration request data related to a first registration request from a mobile device;

sending, by the network device, the first registration request data to a home network device;

in response to the sending the first registration request data to the home network device, receiving, by the network device, registration rejection data associated with a rejection of the first registration request from the home network device;

in response to the receiving the registration rejection data from the home network device, sending, by the network device, the registration rejection data to the mobile device via a message, wherein the message comprises an event download tag associated with the rejection of the registration request, and wherein the message comprises an identifier that informs a universal integrated circuit card that the message is for an event download;

in response to the event download, receiving, by the network device, analysis data related to an analysis of the registration rejection data; and

in response to the event download, receiving, by the network device, a second registration request in response to the mobile device moving to a second location based on the analysis of the registration rejection data.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving the first registration request data comprises receiving the first registration request data via a first frequency band and the sending the registration rejection data comprises sending the registration rejection data via a second frequency band, and wherein the first frequency band and the second frequency band are different frequency bands.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving the first registration request data comprises receiving the first registration request data via a first frequency band and the sending the registration rejection data comprises sending the registration rejection data via a second frequency band, and wherein the first frequency band and the second frequency band are a same frequency band.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the first registration request data comprises a type of registration requested.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the type of registration requested comprises a circuit switched registration.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein the type of registration requested comprises a packet switched registration.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the registration rejection data comprises a registration rejection status and a registration rejection cause code.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the registration rejection cause code indicates that the rejection is due to a location of the mobile device.

9. A system, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory that stores executable non-transitory instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;

receiving first registration request data related to a first registration request from a universal integrated circuit card of a mobile device, wherein the first registration request data comprises a subscriber identity of the mobile device;

sending the first registration request data to a network device of a network;

receiving registration rejection data associated with a rejection of the registration request from the network device;

in response to the receiving the registration rejection data, sending the registration rejection data to the mobile device via wrapper data, wherein the wrapper data comprises an event download tag associated with the rejection of the first registration request, and wherein the wrapper data comprises an identifier that informs the universal integrated circuit card that the wrapper data is for an event download;

based on the event download, receiving, from the universal integrated circuit card, analysis data related to an analysis of the registration rejection data; and

based on to the event download, receiving a second registration request, wherein the second registration request is initiated in response to the mobile device transitioning to a second location based on the analysis of the registration rejection data.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving, from the universal integrated circuit card of the mobile device, display data associated with a display screen of the mobile device.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the display data comprises an indication that the registration rejection data was displayed on the display screen of the mobile device.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the operations further comprise:

transmitting the display data to a service provider identity associated with the system.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the operations further comprise:

transmitting an image capture of the display data to a service provider device of a service provider identity associated with the system.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the operations further comprise:

in response to the transmitting the image capture of the display data to the service provider device, sending registration acceptance data, associated with an acceptance of the first registration request, to the universal integrated circuit card of the mobile device.

15. The system of claim 9, wherein the operations further comprise:

in response to an action determined by the universal integrated circuit card, sending data to a service provider device of a service provider identity associated with the network device.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the action determined by the universal integrated circuit card is in response to the analysis of the registration rejection data.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage device, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

in response to receiving registration request data associated with a first registration request from an integrated circuit card of a mobile device, sending registration rejection data associated with a rejection of the first registration request, via an envelope, wherein the envelope comprises an event download tag based on the registration rejection data and an identifier that informs the integrated circuit card that the envelope is for an event download, and wherein the registration rejection data comprises registration rejection code data associated with a registration rejection based on a first location of the mobile device;

based on the event download tag, receiving, from the integrated circuit card, analysis data related to an analysis of the registration rejection code data; and

based on to the event download tag, receiving a second registration request, wherein the second registration request is initiated in response to the mobile device moving to a second location based on the analysis of the registration rejection code data.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 17, wherein the first registration request comprises a circuit switched registration request.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 18, wherein the second registration request comprises a packet switched registration request.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 19, wherein the packet switched registration request is facilitated in response to a condition being determined to have been satisfied, and wherein the condition is associated with the circuit switched registration request.
