Abstract

A communication system authorizes a User Equipment (UE) for a wireless data service and a media-conferencing service. A network core receives UE authentication data from the UE that is based on a secret key. The network core determines network authentication data for the UE that is also based on the secret key. The network core authorizes the UE for the wireless data service based on the UE authentication data and the network authentication data. The network core transfers the network authentication data for the UE to a media-conferencing server in response to the authorization of the UE for the wireless data service. The media-conferencing server receives other UE authentication data from the UE that is based on the secret key. The media-conferencing server authorizes the UE for the media-conferencing service based on the other UE authentication data from the UE and the network authentication data from the network core.

Dependent claims

A method of operating a communication system to authorize a User Equipment (UE) for a wireless data service and a media-conferencing service, the method comprising:

a wireless network core receiving UE authentication data that was transferred by the UE and that is based on a secret key, determining network authentication data for the UE that is based on the secret key, and authorizing the UE for the wireless data service based on the UE authentication data and the network authentication data;
the wireless network core transferring the network authentication data for the UE for delivery to a media-conferencing server in response to the authorization of the UE for the wireless data service without receiving a request for the network authentication data from the media-conferencing server;
the wireless network core establishing a signaling link between the UE and the media conferencing server;
the media-conferencing server receiving the network authentication data for the UE transferred by the wireless network core;
and
the media-conferencing server receiving other UE authentication data that was transferred by the UE and that is based on the secret key and authorizing the UE for the media-conferencing service based on the other UE authentication data and the network authentication data.

3 more elements

A data communication system to authorize a User Equipment (UE) for a wireless data service and a media-conferencing service, the data communication system comprising:

wireless network core circuitry configured to receive UE authentication data that was transferred by the UE and that is based on a secret key, determine network authentication data for the UE that is based on the secret key, and authorize the UE for the wireless data service based on the UE authentication data and the network authentication data;
the wireless network core circuitry configured to transfer the network authentication data for the UE for delivery to media-conferencing circuitry in response to the authorization of the UE for the wireless data service without receiving a request for the network authentication data from the media-conferencing circuitry;
the wireless network core circuitry configured to establish a signaling link between the UE and the media conferencing server;
the media-conferencing circuitry configured to receive the network authentication data for the UE transferred by the wireless network core;
and
the media-conferencing circuitry configured to receive other UE authentication data that was transferred by the UE and that is based on the secret key and authorize the UE for the media-conferencing service based on the other UE authentication data and the network authentication data.
