摘要:
Embodiments of a mobile device and methods automatically connecting to a Wi-Fi Hotspot 2.0 are generally described herein. In some embodiments, subscription information for one or more service providers (SP) that operate Wi-Fi networks is stored in a subscription data object of the mobile device. The subscription information includes home service provider information, policy information and pre-provisioned credentials. The mobile device may be configured to determine, without user interaction, if the subscription information is applicable to an available Wi-Fi network and perform without user interaction, an extensible authentication protocol (EAP) based authentication using the pre-provisioned credentials with the available Wi-Fi network to establish a Wi-Fi connection with the available Wi-Fi network. This automatic connectivity may allow a mobile device to roam across Wi-Fi hotspots of Wi-Fi networks and offload traffic to Wi-Fi networks.
摘要:
An embodiment of the present invention provides a method of enabling emergency services in an unauthenticated state on wireless networks, comprising attempting Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) authentication with a public user account by a client whose identity indicates the need to place an emergency call, authenticating the client by a Subscription Service Provider Network's (SSPN's) authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) server and providing keying material to an authenticator and supplicant, thereby securing wireless link, providing by the SSPN's AAA server a virtual local area network identification (VLAN ID) back to an access point (AP), performing by the AP or a distribution system (DS) infrastructure a per-user policing for the VLAN ID ensuring upper-limit on resource usage commensurate with an emergency call, and routing the emergency call to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) by the SSPN's call manager.
