Abstract: The present invention addresses a method, apparatus and computer program product for accessing a local area scoped network having non-access-stratum procedures, such as a MuLTEfire network, which implement identifying an available access point of the local area scoped network having non-access-stratum procedures, transmitting a message to the access point, indicating a request for retrieving network information, wherein the information are queried from the network before authorization and actually connecting to the network, selecting a service provider of the network based on received network information for binding the network identity to the selected service provider for accessing, and conveying a Non-Access Stratum service request to the network to cause authentication of the user equipment for connecting to the network.

Abstract: A method and apparatus may be configured to determine a network identity that is valid for the first network and a second network. The method may also include assigning the network identity to a user equipment. The method may also providing the network identity to one of the second network and a user equipment. The first network and the second network may be based on different technologies.

Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from appropriate discovery mechanisms. More particularly, MuLTEfire network discovery may benefit from mechanisms that optimize discovery. A method can include determining whether more network access related information is available than can fit in a beacon. The method can also include sending the beacon with some network access related information. The method can further include including, with the beacon, an indicator regarding whether additional network access related information is available, based on the determination of whether more network access related information is available than can fit in the beacon.

Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from improved network connectivity through an available service provider. For example, certain communication systems may benefit from informing a user equipment of the available service providers without having to first establish an RRC connection. A method includes sending from a user equipment a radio resource control query request message to a network entity. The method also includes receiving at the user equipment a query response message in response to the radio resource control query request message. In addition, the method includes selecting at the user equipment a service provider based on the query response message.

Abstract: A method and apparatus can be configured to find a service broker based on at least one identifier and communication with a home service provider via this service broker. The service broker acts as a proxy service provider for a service provider like the home service provider. The method can also include determining a realm associated to the at least one identifier. The method can also include creating a network-access-identifier based on the determined realm. The method can also include transmitting the network-access-identifier to the service broker for performing authentication of the user equipment in the home service provider.
