Facilitation of icons for 5g or other next generation network

Abstract

When a sub6 user equipment (UE) device is in a millimeter wave (mmW) cell coverage, the sub6 UE device can improperly display a 5G+ icon based on a long term evolution (LTE) anchor cell. However, if the sub6 UE device moves to an area comprising a sub6 cell, when the sub6 UE device is on the LTE cell, the sub6 UE device can utilize the sub6 cell and thus properly display the 5G icon, due to the 5G availability on the sub6 band. Additionally, when the sub6 UE device transitions to a mmW and sub6 area, then the 5G icon can also be appropriately displayed because the sub6 UE device can utilize the sub6 cell from the LTE anchor cell even if the sub6 UE device cannot utilize another mmW cell.

         12 . The user equipment of  claim 8 , wherein displaying the data comprises:
 displaying an icon indicative of support for a fifth generation plus communication protocol via a display screen of the user equipment.   
     
     
         13 . The user equipment of  claim 8 , wherein displaying the data comprises:
 displaying an icon indicative of support for a long term evolution communication protocol via a display screen of the user equipment.   
     
     
         14 . The user equipment of  claim 13 , wherein the user equipment is a millimeter wave capable user equipment, and wherein displaying the icon indicative of the support for the long term evolution communication protocol is further indicative that a millimeter wave network is not available for use by the millimeter wave capable user equipment. 
     
     
         15 . A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a mobile device, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
 accessing, via network equipment that is part of a network to which the mobile device is communicatively coupled, layer indication data representative of a functionality enabled via the network;   based on a type of the mobile device, obtaining a result of analyzing the layer indication data; and   in response to a condition associated with the layer indication data being determined to have been satisfied based on the result of analyzing the layer indication data, generating display data representative of a service associated with the functionality enabled via the network.
