    Abstract: According to one configuration, a wireless access service provider selects and assigns a particular authentication option amongst multiple different authentication options to an entity such as a wireless access point or a sub-network supported by the wireless access point. When a communication device attempts to use the corresponding wireless access point provided by the wireless access service provider, a wireless access gateway receives information from the wireless access point indicating the particular authentication option assigned to authenticate the communication device. The wireless access gateway communicates the notification of the particular authentication option to an authentication manager, which provides the wireless access gateway with network address information indicating a captive portal in which to authenticate the communication device. The wireless access gateway then uses the network address information to redirect the communication device to the captive portal, which is then used to authenticate the communication device. to access the Internet.

    Abstract: A same wireless access profile is installed on each of multiple mobile communication devices. The wireless access profile includes outer identity information and anonymous inner identity information for each service. The anonymous inner identity information includes a credential used by each of the multiple mobile communication devices to use the service. To use the service such as access a remote network, a respective mobile communication device communicates an anonymous username and password assigned to the service to a policy server during first level authentication. The policy server stores a network address of the authenticated mobile communication device. During second level authentication, the policy server receives an identity of the mobile communication device from a network gateway. The policy server provides access control information (assigned to the service) to the network gateway. The network gateway then provides access to the mobile communication device in accordance with the access control information.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for performing targeted filtering of network traffic generated by user equipment (UE) devices connected to a customer premise device (CPE) in a communication system that includes a distributed residential gateway. A broadband network gateway may be configured to identify a UE device in a local area network (LAN) associated with the CPE that is compromised, misconfigured, or operating outside normal communication parameters. The broadband network gateway may send a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) force renew message via a wide area network (WAN) to the identified UE device in the LAN, generate a DHCP offer message that presents a new Internet protocol (IP) address assignment that is within a range of IP addresses included in a layer 2/3 access list, and send the generated DHCP offer message to the UE device to quarantine the UE device.

    Abstract: A network environment includes multiple wireless access points and communication management hardware. The communication management hardware controls connectivity of a mobile communication device to the first wireless access point. For example, the communication management hardware receives communications from a first wireless access point. In response to receiving the communications, the communication management hardware obtains wireless access point identity information associated with a user and/or a mobile communication device attempting to establish a wireless communication link with the wireless access point. Based on the wireless access point identity information, the communication management hardware produces a control decision associated with establishing the wireless communication link. The control decision indicates whether the first wireless access point should allow or deny establishment of the wireless communication link with the first wireless access point.
