Abstract
A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes providing a multi-radio connectivity service to a mobile subscriber, and managing the multi-radio connectivity service for the mobile subscriber. The managing can include: providing admission control; providing privileged subscriber access at a plurality of WiFi access points; providing signaling for quality of service (QoS) equivalence across a WiFi network and a mobile network; and distributing certain traffic based on a policy.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- providing a multi-radio connectivity service to a mobile subscriber that attaches to a mobile network via a local access network (LAN) technology, wherein the multi-radio connectivity service includes:
- providing admission control;
- providing privileged subscriber access at a plurality of WiFi access points;
- providing signaling for quality of service (QoS) equivalence across a WiFi network and the mobile network;
- and
- providing a common mobile network bearer for traffic associated with the mobile subscriber.
Logic encoded in non-transitory media that includes code for execution and when executed by a processor operable to perform operations, comprising:
- providing a multi-radio connectivity service to a mobile subscriber that attaches to a mobile network via a local access network (LAN) technology, wherein the multi-radio connectivity service includes:
- providing admission control;
- providing privileged subscriber access at a plurality of WiFi access points;
- providing signaling for quality of service (QoS) equivalence across a WiFi network and the mobile network;
- and
- providing a common mobile network bearer for traffic associated with the mobile subscriber.
A network element, comprising:
- a memory element;
- a processor operable to execute instructions such that the network element is configured for:
- providing a multi-radio connectivity service to a mobile subscriber that attaches to a mobile network via a local access network (LAN) technology, wherein the multi-radio connectivity service includes:
- providing admission control;
- providing privileged subscriber access at a plurality of WiFi access points;
- providing signaling for quality of service (QoS) equivalence across a WiFi network and the mobile network;
- and
- providing a common mobile network bearer for traffic associated with the mobile subscriber.
