Abstract
Methods, devices, and computer program products facilitate access to, and usage of resources within, a radio network. A conditional access framework incorporates myriad technologies ranging from authentication, session control, Internet Protocol (IP) packet inspection to resource allocation by airlink schedulers. Such an end-to-end control enables effective implementation of conditional access paradigms by ensuring service guarantees for authorized users while resulting in a certain level of service availability to guest users.
Claims27
A method, comprising:
- assigning weights to a plurality users of a radio network, each of the plurality of users being categorized within one of a plurality of classes;
- allocating radio network resources to a user pursuant to the weight associated with the user.
A device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory comprising processor executable code, the processor executable code, when executed by the processor, configures the apparatus to:
- assign weights to a plurality users of a radio network, each of the plurality of users being categorized within one of a plurality;
- allocate radio network resources to a user pursuant to the weight associated with the user.
A computer program product, embodied on a computer readable medium, comprising:
- program code for assigning weights to a plurality users of a radio network, each of the plurality of users being categorized within one of a plurality of classes;
- program code for allocating radio network resources to a user pursuant to the weight associated with the user.
