摘要： The subject matter described herein includes managing access conditions and determining which access point to use by a wireless device based on terms and conditions (TCs) for allowing access (TCsAA) and terms and conditions for utilizing access (TCsUA) provided and updated by various parties in a system for alternative network access provision (ANAPS) comprising of a cloud based server system and a wireless device and its connection manager software system. The TCs may depend on a number of variables including one or more of the following: price, availability, relative signal strengths and communication speeds of different cellular base pay and or access points and connections through the stations or access points to the Internet or other backend systems, the location and possible motion of the device, the time of day, week, month or year as well as the cost of communication alternatives.

摘要： A method for allocating and pricing access to alternative access networks may include: inputting, by one or more parties, needs for alternative network access and representative values for satisfying the needs; setting, by providers of alternative network access, reserve prices for access to each of access point in the alternative network; generating a solution based on a mixed integer program to maximize value created by allocation of alternative network access; and allocating alternative network access to the one or more parties based on the mixed integer program solution.

摘要： Optimized offloading of wireless devices to alternative wireless networks. In an embodiment, a sector is determined to be busy based on measurement report(s) associated with the sector, wherein the measurement report(s) indicate at least one performance characteristic of the sector. When the sector is determined to be busy, it is determined whether sector(s) of an alternative network, which overlaps with the sector of the home network, are busy based on at least one performance characteristic of the sector(s) of the alternative network. When the sector of the home network is determined to be busy and the sector(s) of the alternative network are not determined to be busy, transmission of an instruction to offload wireless device(s), connected to the home network within the sector of the home network, to at least one of the sector(s) of the alternative network, is initiated.
