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 wireless communication link between a wireless access point and a mobile communication device supports multiple data flows. Each of the data flows can be configured to convey a different type of data. Based on monitoring events/conditions such as conveyance of communications over each of the multiple data flows, a communication management resource selectively assigns data flow compression settings to each of the multiple data flows. Based on the assigned compression settings, the mobile communication device and/or wireless access point communicate packet delivery data (such as network address information) over the data flows. For example, in accordance with the generated compression settings, packet delivery data for data packets conveyed over a first data flow are compressed, while packet delivery data for data packets conveyed over a second data flow are not compressed.

Abstract: A network environment includes a communication management resource. The communication management resource receives a request from a first communication device for access to a remote network via a wireless communication link. Prior to authenticating the first communication device to access the remote network through a first wireless access point, the communication management resource retrieves wireless access control information indicating how to control wireless connectivity with the first wireless access point. The communication management resource then controls the access associated with the first communication device through the first wireless access point in accordance with the wireless access control information.

Abstract: A tracking system monitors operating conditions of a first wireless access point through which a mobile communication device communicates with a gateway. The gateway and the first wireless access point support a session of data flows between the mobile communication device and a remote network. Based on the monitored operating conditions of the wireless access point, the controller associated with the tracking system dynamically generates control settings to control the session of data flows through the gateway. The controller applies the control settings to the gateway to control communications associated with the session of data flows between the remote network and the mobile communication device. The controller applies different control settings under different operating conditions and/or as the mobile communication device uses different wireless access points to communicate through the gateway to the remote network.

Abstract: A network environment includes a communication management resource. The communication management resource receives location information indicating a location of a newly detected or scheduled event in a network environment. The communication management resource determines one or more wireless access points in a vicinity of the location as specified by the location information. The determined one or more wireless access points are candidates to potentially to provide wireless services to one or more service officer devices. The communication management resource then controls flow of first data through the wireless access point in accordance wireless access point control information to support wireless communications associated with the event. For example, the communication management resource can be configured to adjust wireless bandwidth provided to other user devices such that the one or more service officer devices are given higher priority use and a number of devices are allowed to get the services.

Abstract: A wireless access point receives a request from a communication device for wireless access to a remote network. An authentication resource authenticates the communication device to use a wireless network provided by the wireless access point. Prior to providing notification to the communication device that it has been authenticated, a communication management resource produces data flow control settings and applies the data flow control settings to a communication gateway. Thereafter, the communication device is notified that it has been authenticated via the authentication resource. The communication gateway then controls flow of data through a communication gateway to the remote network via implementation of the data flow control settings.
