US Patent 11706615 Determining and ameliorating wireless telecommunication network functionalities that are impaired when using end-to-end encryption

Disclosed here is a system and method to determine which wireless telecommunication network functionalities are impaired when using end-to-end encryption and to ameliorate the impairment of the functionality. The system receives a request from a sender device to communicate with a receiver device, where the request indicates whether the sender device is capable of an end-to-end encryption. The system determines whether the receiver device is capable of the end-to-end encryption, and whether the receiver device is associated with a functionality provided by a wireless telecommunication network that is impaired when the end-to-end encryption is used. Upon determining that the receiver device is not capable of the end-to-end encryption or that the receiver device is associated with the functionality that is impaired, the system performs an action to ameliorate the impairment to the functionality.
