1. A method, comprising:
facilitating, by a user equipment comprising a processor, receiving a first signal from base station equipment, wherein the first signal encodes a message that comprises an attachment message that facilitates establishing a connection between the user equipment and the base station equipment;
based on a signal strength value comprised in the attachment message, estimating, by the user equipment, a likelihood that a second signal, from the user equipment, is able to reach the base station equipment in a condition defined with respect to a threshold value, resulting in an estimated likelihood, wherein the signal strength value corresponds to a transmission signal strength employed by the base station equipment to communicate the first signal; and
based on the estimated likelihood, determining, estimating, by the user equipment, a response to the first signal.
