Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, determining one or more characteristics associated with a mobile device accessing a communication service via a wireless network; determining whether the one or more characteristics satisfy a threshold for accessing a Citizen Band Radio Service (CBRS) network; and responsive to the one or more characteristics satisfying the threshold, facilitating access by the mobile device to the CBRS network to continue providing the communication service. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- identifying a mobile device accessing a communication service via a wireless network;
- determining one or more characteristics associated with the mobile device, wherein the one or more characteristics include a predicted time period that the mobile device will remain in a coverage area of a Citizen Band Radio Service (CBRS) network;
- determining whether the one or more characteristics satisfy a threshold for accessing the CBRS network;
- accessing one or more policies for determining whether the mobile device should be granted access to the CBRS network, wherein the one or more policies include policies associated with a telecom carrier entity and at least one of a third-party entity, a university, an employer, or a government agency, and wherein the one or more policies comprise:
- a first policy that addresses a Quality of Service (QoS) requirement;
- and
- a second policy that addresses one or more non-QoS rules including a mobile device identity, the communication service being provided, and a subscriber agreement;
- responsive to the predicted time period failing to satisfy the threshold, inhibiting access by the mobile device to the CBRS network;
- and
- responsive to the one or more characteristics satisfying the threshold and the one or more policies indicating that the mobile device should be granted access to the CBRS network, facilitating access by the mobile device to the CBRS network to enable continued provision of the communication service.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- determining one or more characteristics associated with a mobile device accessing a communication service via a wireless network, wherein the one or more characteristics include a predicted time period that the mobile device will remain in a coverage area of a Citizen Band Radio Service (CBRS) network;
- determining whether the one or more characteristics satisfy a threshold for accessing the CBRS network;
- accessing one or more policies for determining whether the mobile device should be granted access to the CBRS network, wherein the one or more policies include policies associated with a telecom carrier entity and at least one of a third-party entity, a university, an employer, or a government agency, and wherein the one or more policies comprise:
- a first policy that addresses a Quality of Service (QoS) requirement;
- and
- a second policy that addresses one or more non-QoS rules including a mobile device identity, the communication service being provided, and a subscriber agreement;
- responsive to the predicted time period failing to satisfy the threshold, inhibiting access by the mobile device to the CBRS network;
- and
- responsive to the one or more characteristics satisfying the threshold and the one or more policies indicating that the mobile device should be granted access to the CBRS network, facilitating access by the mobile device to the CBRS network to enable continued provision of the communication service.

A method, comprising:
- detecting, by a processing system including a processor, a mobile device accessing a communication service via a wireless network;
- determining, by the processing system, one or more characteristics associated with the mobile device, wherein the one or more characteristics include a predicted time period that the mobile device will remain in a coverage area of a Citizen Band Radio Service (CBRS) network;
- determining, by the processing system, whether the one or more characteristics satisfy a threshold for accessing the CBRS network;
- accessing one or more policies for determining whether the mobile device should be granted access to the CBRS network, wherein the one or more policies include policies associated with a telecom carrier entity and at least one of a third-party entity, a university, an employer, or a government agency, and wherein the one or more policies comprise:
- a first policy that addresses a Quality of Service (QoS) requirement;
- and
- a second policy that addresses one or more non-QoS rules including a mobile device identity, the communication service being provided, and a subscriber agreement;
- responsive to the predicted time period failing to satisfy the threshold, inhibiting access by the mobile device to the CBRS network;
- and
- responsive to the one or more characteristics satisfying the threshold and the one or more policies indicating that the mobile device should be granted access to the CBRS network, facilitating, by the processing system, access by the mobile device to the CBRS network to enable continued provision of the communication service.
