A method is provided in one embodiment and includes receiving a request for a session at a network element; communicating a query for whitelist data to a provisioning element; receiving the whitelist data at the network element; and communicating a message to an access point that communicated the request, where the message is indicative of whether the session is to be accepted or denied based on the whitelist data. In more specific implementations, the network element is a gateway configured to receive the whitelist data via a RADIUS access accept message. In addition, source Internet protocol (IP) address verification associated with the session can be executed before a wireless device associated with the access point is permitted access to a network.

In accordance with an example embodiment, there is disclosed herein an apparatus comprising an interface, and processing logic coupled with the interface. The processing logic receives via the interface a list of location area codes detected by an access point associated with a site group to be provisioned with a location area code (LAC). The processing logic removes from a predefined list of location area codes the location area codes detected by the access point. The processing logic selects a LAC from the predefined list for the site group after removing the location area codes detected by the access point. The processing logic provisions the access point with the selected LAC via the interface.

Techniques are provided to perform location verification of a radio access point (RAP) device such as femtocell. The RAP is configured to receive signals from global positioning system (GPS) satellite transmitters to produce GPS location data representing a GPS location of the RAP. The RAP is also configured to receive wireless signals at one or more specified channels and to generate radio environment data representing characteristics of received wireless signals at the specified channels in a vicinity of the RAP. A comparison is made between the GPS location data and reference GPS location data for an expected location of the RAP. When the GPS location data substantially matches the reference GPS location data, operations of the RAP are enabled and the radio environment data is stored to be used as reference radio environment data for purposes of subsequent location verification of the RAP.

摘要:
A technique for synchronizing data caches. Data is maintained in the data caches as records. The records are associated with buckets which represent collections of one or more records. The buckets are collectively maintained in a synchronization set which represents a state of a data cache. A local entity synchronizes its data cache with a remote entity by sending its synchronization set to the remote entity in a synchronization request message. The remote entity compares information contained in the local entity's synchronization set with its own to determine if the two are consistent. If not, the remote entity notes inconsistencies in a response message that is then forwarded to the local entity. The local entity processes the response message including using it to update its data cache to be consistent with the remote entity's data cache.

Systems and techniques herein may allow users to subscribe to Internet services such as VoIP without access to a personal computer. An Internet service device may include an input to receive information indicative of a selected service provider. The Internet service device may be configured to automatically discover a location of a configuration service for the selected service provider, and to transmit a device identifier to the selected service provider. In some embodiments, the configuration service may be discovered using a DNS SRV process.

A method is provided in one example and includes establishing a plurality of persistent connections with a plurality of devices at a server; receiving presence data associated with the plurality of devices; responding to heartbeat messages provided by the plurality of devices; receiving a status change notification from a particular one of the devices; and updating status data and heartbeat data for the particular one of the devices. In more particular embodiments, the method includes encoding messages communicated on the persistent connections using an extensible messaging and presence protocol (XMPP). The method may also include communicating script configuration data over a particular one of the persistent connections for execution by the particular device. The persistent connections may be secured using transport layer security (TLS).

An Internet service device includes data and instructions to generate a user interface to subscribe to an Internet service, and to automatically discover one or more service provider services. The internet service device may receive information indicative of a selected service provider from a user device, and may automatically discover a location of a subscription service and a configuration service for the selected service provider. Automatic discovery of one or more services may be performed using DNS SRV. Device can be automatically identified to service subscription and configuration servers to enable association of subscriber with a device.

In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a customer premises equipment (CPE) apparatus includes a first communications unit, a second communications unit, and a processing unit. The first communications unit is configured to receive an inbound message packet from a first communications channel. The inbound packet includes a destination address. The second communications unit is configured to send an outbound message packet on a second communications channel. The processing unit is configured to generate the outbound packet from the inbound packet where the outbound packet is modified to include a CPE device identifier if the destination address matches a predetermined registration server address. In one embodiment, this enables automatic CPE identification during subscriber registration process.
