The PSK is transmitted in encrypted form to the mobile device via a 3G/4G network. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of communication by a 3G/4G network with a mobile device and a next-generation network (NGN), the method comprising: receiving from the mobile device a request for a list of shared SSIDs, the request including GPS coordinates of the mobile device, a user ID and a password;
