Example methods and systems are disclosed to facilitate detection and identification of devices connected to a cellular network and that are causing interference to the cellular network. An example method may include receiving, by a serving base station of the device, a first set of information associated with data communications of a device utilizing a cellular network. The method may further include determining the device is an interfering device based on the first set of information associated with the data communication substantially corresponding with an interfering device profile, and in response tracking the device. During the tracking of the device, a second set of information associated with the data communications from the device may be obtained, and an interfering device type of the device may be determined based on the second set of information. An action may be performed on the interfering device based on its interfering device type.

Interfering device identification

Dynamic power class re-registration of wireless devices is provided. A wireless device can exchange data with a communications network. While exchanging data, the device can monitor its usage and based on the usage, generate a power change request. The device can then send the power change request to the communications network, prior to or in conjunction with powering down the device. In this regard, the communications network can receive the power change request, generate instructions for the wireless device, and adjust network resources based on the power change request. The instructions can then be sent to the wireless device. Since the device re-registers its power class with the communications network, handoffs, internetwork thresholds, network resources and other network parameters can be adjusted to compensate for the changed power class resulting into improved service for a user of the wireless device.

Dynamic power class re-registration of mobile devices

Facilitation of adaptive traffic flow management by a power-limited device during uplink-limited conditions is provided. A method can include: detecting that power emitted from the device satisfies a first defined condition; evaluating a defined characteristic of a network with which the device is associated and an application being executed by the device, wherein the evaluating is in response to the detecting; and determining whether to transmit information to the network to cause the device to be transferred by the network, wherein transferring is from a first wireless communication system to a second wireless communication system, and wherein the determining is performed based on the evaluating. In various embodiments, the first wireless communication system can be a long-term evolution system and the second wireless communication system can be a universal mobile telecommunications system.
