Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide the ability to use policy defined by the operator to control the interfaces on which data is sent and received by a device. The policy can be dynamically updated by the operator, by pushing new policy to the device for implementation. The policy can define that the device should switch certain data between two or more available interfaces at certain times, or may define when certain data may be sent or received over a particular interface. Advantageously, the device may receive new policy from the operator in order to help with the operator's own operational objectives. For example, the operator may be engaging in traffic shaping or other traffic limitation, for example to ease congestion or enforce service agreements. To support this a policy which implements corresponding traffic limitation or shaping on the air interface between the mobile device and network base stations can be sent to the mobile device. This will have the effect of reducing signaling congestion on the air-interface.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention proxy control the establishment or continued existence of a WLAN connection by using the back end authentication mechanism to authenticate /de-authenticate a WLAN session in dependence on the experienced quality of the connection during the set-up phase or session itself. This has the effect of preventing a bad quality connection from being established or from continuing, and hence should improve the user experience, and help a WLAN network operator maintain a service with high Quality of Service (QoS).

Abstract translation: 本发明代理的实施例通过使用后端认证机制来依赖于在建立阶段或会话本身期间的经验的连接质量来控制WLAN连接的建立或继续存在，以对WLAN会话进行认证/去认证。 这具有防止建立或不继续的不良品质连接的效果，因此应该改善用户体验，并且帮助WLAN网络运营商维持具有高服务质量（QoS）的服务。
