    摘要: A method of transferring a data session of a portable computing device from a cellular network and to a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) network is described. The method includes establishing a data session between a cellular network device and a portable computing device while the cellular network device is within a cellular communication region of the cellular network. Further, the method includes receiving a request to begin an advanced Wi-Fi authentication with one or more Wi-Fi access control nodes that provide Wi-Fi data communication coverage within a Wi-Fi coverage region of the Wi-Fi network. The Wi-Fi network coverage is within the cellular communication region. Further, the advanced Wi-Fi authentication includes authenticating the portable computing device with the Wi-Fi network during the data session with cellular network device before the portable computing device accesses the Wi-Fi network.

    摘要: A computer readable medium stores a program for enabling access to a wireless local area network (WLAN) from a dual mode device. The program enables the dual mode device to detect presence of a WLAN access point. The program also transmits information about the access point and about the dual mode device via a cellular network to a clearinghouse server. A portion of the program receives the information via the cellular network, the information identifying the dual mode device and an access point of a WLAN provider. The program then determines whether the dual mode device has permission to access the access point. When permission exists, the program informs the WLAN provider. The dual mode device accesses the WLAN access point in response to the clearinghouse server approving access.

    摘要: A system enhances communication services delivered across multiple (homogeneous and heterogeneous) access network environments. A user terminal (via a software client) passively collects the performance related parameters of all available access networks while being connected to only one of those access networks (the “active network”). The collected information is communicated over the active network to a central server. The central server uses the information to enhance the overall service performance by using it for intelligent network selection, handoff, load-balancing, monitoring, and other purposes. Computer readable media contain instructions for a computer to perform functions within the system.

    摘要: In accordance with the teachings herein, a wireless access point module having a plug and play feature and an auto-configuration engine may be used to provide substantial benefits to business owners, Internet service providers, and subscribers. The wireless access point module may have memory and a processor configured such that during “power-up” the processor reads instruction from memory and automatically creates a virtual private network (VPN) with a centralized access gateway via a network VPN server. In turn, the wireless access point module may utilize this VPN for subscriber communications.
