## Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer readable mediums for configuring a radio system to provide network service access based on a location of the radio system. The radio system can identify the location and send a location signal indicating its location over a first network. The radio system can receive, over the first network, first configuration data for communicating over a second network based on its location. The radio system can configure itself to communicate over the second network using the first configuration data and subsequently provide network service access over the second network according to the first configuration data.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A radio system comprising:
a processor;
one or more antennas;
a memory implemented at the radio system containing instructions that when executed by the processor, enable the radio system to:
identify, at the radio system, a location of the radio system;
send a location signal over a first network indicating the location of the radio system;
receive, over the first network, first configuration data for configuring the radio system to communicate over a second network based on the location of the radio system;
receive, over the first network, second configuration data for configuring the radio system to communicate over a third network, based on the location of the radio system;
configure the radio system using the first configuration data and the second configuration data to communicate over the second network and the third network based on the location of the radio system through protocol hopping between the second network and the third network; and
provide network service access over the second network according to the first configuration data based on the location of the radio system.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The radio system of claim 1, wherein the first network is a cellular network.

The radio system of claim 1, wherein the second network is a WiFi compliant network.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The radio system of claim 1, wherein the location of the radio system is identified at the radio system based on a signal received from a neighboring device of the radio system.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The radio system of claim 4, wherein the neighboring device is a device attempting to access network services through the radio system.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The radio system of claim 4, wherein the location of the radio system is identified by the radio system based on a signal received from the neighboring device.

The radio system of claim 4, wherein the location of the radio system is identified by the radio system based on a location of the neighboring device.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The radio system of claim 1, wherein the instructions when executed by the processor are further configured to enable the radio system to:
receive a second signal over the third network at a third signal strength; and
transmit the second signal received over the third network at a fourth signal strength different than the third signal strength;
receive the second configuration data for configuring the radio system to communicate over the third network in response to transmitting the second signal at the fourth signal strength.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The radio system of claim 8, wherein the instructions when executed by the processor are further configured to enable the radio system to send the location of the radio system along with the second signal at the fourth signal strength and the second configuration data generated based on the location of the radio system.
