Exchanging network server registration credentials over a d2d network

A method of operating a device, comprising:

• receiving a set of network registration credentials via a device-to-device (D2D) connection, the set of network registration credentials being assigned to a given client device by a network server that is external to a serving access network of the given client device and configured to permit access to one or more network services provided by the network server;
• and
• interacting with the network server to access the one or more network services based on the set of network registration credentials.

A method of operating a device, comprising:

• receiving a set of network registration credentials via a first device-to-device (D2D) connection, the set of network registration credentials being assigned to a first client device by a network server that is external to a serving access network of the first client device and configured to permit access to one or more network services provided by the network server;
• and
• sharing the set of network registration credentials with a second client device via a second D2D connection to permit the second client device to access the one or more network services provided by the network server based on the shared set of network registration credentials.

A client device, comprising:

• means for receiving, from a network server that is external to a serving access network of the client device, a set of network registration credentials that are assigned to the client device and are configured to authorize access to one or more network services provided by the network server;
• and
• means for sharing the set of network registration credentials with an external device via a device-to-device (D2D) connection to permit the external device to access the one or more network services provided by the network server based on the shared set of network registration credentials.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a client device, cause the client device to perform operations, the instructions comprising:

• at least one instruction to cause the client device to receive, from a network server that is external to a serving access network of the client device, a set of network registration credentials that are assigned to the client device and are configured to authorize access to one or more network services provided by the network server;
• and
• at least one instruction to cause the client device to share the set of network registration credentials with an external device via a device-to-device (D2D) connection to permit the external device to access the one or more network services provided by the network server based on the shared set of network registration credentials.
