Abstract: Disclosed are a method, apparatus, and system for authenticating a communication session between a user equipment device (UE) and a communication network. A first authentication of a UE is performed by generating an authentication key, transmitting the authentication key over a first communication link from the UE to a communication network, authenticating the UE using the authentication key, and generating an authentication result indicative of authenticating the UE. A second authentication of the UE is performed to authorize a communication session over a second communication link between the UE and the communication network. The second authentication includes transmitting UE identifying information over the second communication link from the UE to the communication network and authenticating the UE using the UE identifying information and the authentication key. The second communication link is established under an internet protocol. After performing the second authentication, the communication session is authorized.

Abstract: Presently disclosed are systems and methods for wireless communication devices (WCDs) to share relevant performance-metric data with nearby devices having similar configurations. One embodiment takes the form of a method carried out by a WCD. The method includes receiving into a first WCD from a second WCD, via a direct wireless link between the WCDs, data indicating a configuration of the second WCD. The method also includes making a determination as to whether the configuration of the second WCD is at least threshold similar to the configuration of the first WCD and, if so, sharing with the second WCD, via the direct wireless link, performance-metric data for the wireless communication network.
