Abstract
Methods may comprise receiving, at a network access point associated with a network, a request for access to the network from a user device. Based on an analysis of a signal between the user device and the network access point, a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) may be determined. Access to the network may be based on at least a comparison of the SNR to a SNR threshold.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a network access point associated with a network, a request for access to the network associated with a user device;
- determining, based on an analysis of a signal between the user device and the network access point, a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) associated with the request;
- transmitting a query to an authentication server, wherein the query comprises an identifier and the SNR, and wherein the authentication server is configured to grant or deny access to the network based on at least a comparison of the SNR to a SNR threshold;
- receiving an access signal indicative of access grant or denial from the authentication server;
- and
- transmitting, to the user device and based on the request for access and the access signal, a response associated with the request for access to the networks.

- transmitting a query to an authentication server, wherein the query comprises an identifier and the SNR;
- receiving an access signal indicative of access denial from the authentication server, wherein the access denial is based at least in part on a determination that the SNR is less than a SNR threshold;
- and
- transmitting, to the user device and based on the request for access and the access signal, a response associated with the request for access to the networks.

A method comprising:
- receiving, at an authentication server and from a network access point associated with a network, a query comprising an identifier associated with the network access point and a signal to noise ratio (SNR) based on analysis of a signal between a user device and the network access point, wherein the SNR is associated with a request for network access by the user device;
- determining to grant or deny access to the network based on at least a comparison of the SNR to a SNR threshold;
- and
- transmitting, via the authentication server and to the network access point, an access signal indicative of a determination to grant or deny access to the network.
