System and method for connecting, configuring and testing wireless devices and applications

Abstract

A system, apparatus, and method are provided for connecting, configuring and testing wireless devices and applications. For example, one embodiment of wireless device for operation in a wireless network comprises a processor, a wireless module including a radio receiver and transmitter unit coupled to the processor, a graphical user interface (GUI) coupled to the processor, and a Connection Manager Module (CMM) including an Application Programming Interface (API) module, a Rules Engine Module, and a Rules Set Module, wherein the CMM manages a connection to a wireless network

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system comprising a control center for managing mobile wireless devices in a wireless network comprising:
 a processor;   a radio receiver and transmitter unit; and   a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with instructions which when executed cause the processor to:
 predetermine an aggressive mobile wireless device based on a search of historical data utilizing an identifier; 
 retrieve at least one data log from at least one network element comprising at least one of a diagnostic device, a Home Location Register (HLR), a Mobile Switching Center (MSC), a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN), a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), a Short Message Service Center (SMSC), a signal transfer point (STP) node, and a Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) server by utilizing the identifier; 
 identify aggressive behavior data contained in the at least one data log utilizing the identifier; 
 verify aggressive behavior exhibited by the aggressive mobile wireless device by analyzing the aggressive behavior data; 
 determine a rule set to modify the aggressive behavior, wherein the rule set comprises logic to generate a provisioning instruction to provision the aggressive mobile wireless device or the at least one network element to modify the aggressive behavior of the aggressive mobile wireless device; 
 transmit the provisioning instruction to the aggressive mobile wireless device or the at least one network element; 
 retrieve at least one subsequent data log generated by the at least one network element and determine if the aggressive behavior persists.
