Abstract
A method for reducing wireless network congestion including receiving an initial request for network access from a mobile device and determining a customer support time period associated with an initial location. In response to receiving the initial request for network access, the method includes transmitting a request to a network node and receiving, from the network node, a rejection message denying access to the network. The method includes denying the initial request based on the rejection message. The method includes receiving a subsequent request for network access that includes a subsequent location. The method includes determining that identifying information associated with the subsequent request matches identifying information associated with the initial request. The method includes denying the subsequent request when the subsequent location is the same as the initial location and a request time of the subsequent request is outside the customer support time period.
