摘要:
A method for a user agent to access a session policy in a network is provided. The method comprises the user agent receiving in a header field of a response message a plurality of uniform resource identifiers (URIs) for a policy server, wherein each of the plurality of URIs uses a different policy channel protocol.

A method for a user agent to access a session policy in a network is provided. The method comprises the user agent sending a registration message to a first network node. The method further comprises the user agent receiving policy-related information from the first network node in a response to the registration message. The policy-related information is one of the session policy, a Uniform Resource Locator that points to the session policy, and a Policy-Contact header containing a policyContactURI for a policy document.

A method for sending a session policy request to a network component is provided. The method comprises a user agent sending the session policy request to the network component using a lower layer protocol. The lower layer protocol is at least one of Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), Point to Point Protocol (PPP), and General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Activate Packet Data Protocol (PDP) context.

A method for a user agent to access a session policy in a network is provided. The method comprises sending, from the user agent, a single session policy request to a single network component, the single network component contacting a plurality of network components, wherein sending the single session policy request to the single network component utilizes a lower layer protocol. The lower layer protocol is at least one of Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), Point to Point Protocol (PPP), and General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Activate Packet Data Protocol (PDP) context. The method further comprises aggregating policy information and providing the aggregated policy information to the user agent.

摘要:
Systems and methods for tracking the privacy policy of an electronic device in a network having a privacy policy server and an authentication server are provided. In one aspect a privacy policy server receives a connection request from the electronic device, queries an authentication server for the device's privacy policy acceptance state. If the device had not accepted the network's privacy policy, the privacy policy server sends a URL to the device so the device may accept or reject the policy. The authentication server locates a network session identifier representing the device's connection with the network and response to the policy server indicating the device's current privacy policy acceptance state if applicable. Advantageously, a network session identifier can track a device's privacy policy acceptance state when the device reconnects with the network. The systems and methods are applicable in wireless networks, such as 802.11.
摘要:
Methods and systems for wireless network management are described. In one embodiment, a radio measurement of a characteristic of a wireless access technology may be taken. The wireless access technology may enable data communication through a wireless network when connected to an access point. A report may be transmitted through an alternate access technology. The report may be based on the radio measurement. Additional methods and systems are disclosed.
摘要:
Example methods and apparatus to manage wireless device power consumption are disclosed. In accordance with a disclosed example method a data frame exchange is initiated with an access point of a wireless network. In response to not successfully completing the frame exchange with the access point, the access point is designated as providing the wireless terminal with fringe wireless signal coverage.
