Abstract
Internet protocol session continuity can be achieved via an access point registration process. Mobile devices near an access point device that has registered with a base station device can offload wireless communication from the base station device to the access point device. The access point device can be a known access point device that can be secured and subject to session continuity policies of a service provider. The session continuity policies can be stored at a content handover processor, which can oversee the handover processes between the base station device and the mobile device.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a wireless network device comprising a processor, first signal data related to a communication of a first mobile device with a base station device;
- receiving, by the wireless network device, second signal data related to a second mobile device communication with an access point device;
- receiving, by the wireless network device, a request from the first mobile device to access the access point device;
- and
- based on whether a condition has been determined to have been satisfied, sending, by the wireless network device to the first mobile device, connectivity data relating to information about a connection with the first mobile device.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- receiving first mobile device data related to a first communication of a first mobile device with a base station device;
- receiving access point device data related to an access point device of a network and second mobile device data related to a second communication of a second mobile device with the access point device;
- continuing the second communication with the access point device based on a condition being determined to have been satisfied;
- and
- linking a licensed radio frequency domain to an unlicensed radio frequency domain.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- receiving first network data related to a base station device releasing a first communication with a mobile device;
- receiving access point device data related to an access point device of a network;
- receiving second network data related to the access point device that is establishing a second communication with the mobile device;
- monitoring the second communication for a change in data throughput;
- and
- in response to the monitoring, linking a licensed radio frequency network to an unlicensed radio frequency network.
