You cannot do any Apple computer or device upgrades/updates over a cellukar network connection.
Sorry.
If you own a compatible device and it is already nearly up to date with the previous couple of iPadOS 15 updates, you shoukd be abke to use the Software Update feature, in the Settings App, General panel and do a wireless, over the air software update to iPadOS 15.6.1.
If you own a compatible device,,but it is too far behind in iOS/iPadOS upgrades/updates, you will need have access to a full computer, like a Mac or Windows PC, on a direct router connection or wireless, WiFi connection, try either using the Finder on a Mac that has the newest macOS Catalina, or later macOS, installed OR with an older Mac with an older Mac OS, download and install the latest iTunes version ( or latest iTunes for Windows PC ), make sure the Mac or Windows PC is connected to the Internet, connect your iPad by the USB charge cable to the computer and let the iTunes application upgrade/update that iPad model, using the iTunes Software Update feature, to its current, maximum OS of iOS 12.5.5/iPadOS 15.2.
Make sure your iPad is, at least, charged to 50% or greater to attempt this.
Also, make sure your iPad has, at least, between 6-8 GBs of free internal data storage space for downloading and installing a major iOS/iPadOS upgrade.
Make sure your desktop/laptop computer has plenty of internal drive storage space, also.
Also, make sure to do a backup of your iPad's data, prior to upgrading/updating.
Backup to Apple iCloud and/or a full Mac or Windows PC using the same iTunes app OR, if a newer Mac running macOS Catalina, or later, making a backup using the macOS Finder app.
If NO access to a Mac or Windows computer, you will have to seek help from a good friend or family member, with a full Mac or Windows PC, to help you out
OR
Search online to locate and call contact your nearest, “local” Apple Store location to try/attempt to make an appointment to get your Apple iPad upgraded/updated to its latest iPadOS 15 version.
Apple Store employees will be glad to help/assist you.
Best of Luck to You!

Thanks Neil. It says I need a Network connection. I’m connected to hotspot on my phone.
Go to a public WiFi hotspot or your home network, or update it from a computer.
