Abstract
A method includes, prior to authenticating a mobile device, receiving by an access point a first message from the mobile device, determining that the mobile device is to be authenticated prior to responding to the first message, and sending to an authentication server a second message that includes an authentication request and the first message. The method also includes receiving from the authentication server a third message that includes a response to the authentication request and that further includes the first message.
Claims22
A method comprising:
- prior to authenticating a mobile device, receiving by an access point a first message from the mobile device;
- determining that the mobile device is to be authenticated prior to responding to the first message;
- sending to an authentication server a second message that includes an authentication request and the first message;
- and
- receiving from the authentication server a third message that includes a response to the authentication request and that further includes the first message.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving a first message from an access point, wherein the first message includes an authentication request and further includes a second message sent from a mobile device to the access point, wherein the mobile device is to be authenticated prior to responding to the second message;
- storing at least temporarily the second message while authenticating the mobile device based on the authentication request;
- and
- sending to the access point a third message that authenticates the mobile device, the third message including the second message.
1 more element
A network device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions, wherein the instructions are executable by the processor to cause the processor to:
- prior to authenticating a mobile device, receive a first message from the mobile device, wherein the mobile device is to be authenticated prior to responding to the first message;
- send to an authentication server a second message that includes an authentication request and the first message;
- and
- receive from the authentication server a third message that includes a response to the authentication request and the first message.
4 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that are executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
- prior to authenticating a mobile device, receive a first message from the mobile device, wherein the mobile device is to be authenticated prior to responding to the first message;
- send to an authentication server a second message that includes an authentication request and the first message;
- and
- receive from the authentication server a third message that includes a response to the authentication request and the first message.
1 more element
A network device comprising:
- means for storing instructions;
- and
- means for executing the instructions to:
- prior to authenticating a mobile device, receive a first message from the mobile device, wherein the mobile device is to be authenticated prior to responding to the first message;
- send to an authentication server a second message that includes an authentication request and the first message;
- and
- receive from the authentication server a third message that includes a response to the authentication request and the first message.
4 more elements
A server comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions, wherein the instructions are executable by the processor to cause the processor to:
- receive a first message from an access point, wherein the first message includes an authentication request and further includes a second message sent from a mobile device to the access point, wherein the mobile device is to be authenticated prior to responding to the second message;
- store at least temporarily the second message while authenticating the mobile device based on the authentication request;
- and
- send to the access point a third message that authenticates the mobile device, the third message including the second message.
