A computing device may include a memory configured to store instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to monitor a radio access technology type being used by a user equipment (UE) device to wirelessly communicate with a base station. The processor may be further configured to detect a change from a first radio access technology type to a second radio access technology type; determine that the second radio access technology type has been sustained for at least a particular time period; and report information identifying the change from the first radio access technology type to the second radio access technology type to a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) device.
