Abstract
A method for generating platform identification is presented. In one embodiment, the method includes determining whether a hash value collision indication is present in a table based on one or more platform attributes. The method includes generating a hash value based at least on the one or more platform attributes if there is no hash value collision indication and setting a platform identifier to a string generated based on the hash value. The method further includes sending a message including at least the platform identifier during network entry.
Claims16
A method for a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
- determining whether or not a hash value collision indication exists in a first table based at least on one or more platform attributes;
- setting the platform identifier to a first value if the hash value collision indication exists, the first value being retrievable from the first table based at least on the one or more platform attributes;
- generating a hash value based at least on the one or more platform attributes if the hash value collision indication does not exist;
- setting a platform identifier to a string generated based on the hash value;
- and
- sending a message including at least the platform identifier during network entry.
A method for a mobile communication network, the method comprising:
- receiving a platform identifier associated with a platform, the platform identifier comprising a string that is based on a hash value that if a hash collision value does not exist in a memory of the platform, the hash value is generated based on at least one or more attributes of the platform, and that if the hash collision value exists in the memory of the platform, the hash value is based on a first value;
- performing, based on first data including the platform identifier and a certification registration number associated with a device coupled to the platform, platform certification by referring to a registry database, the registry being searchable based on the platform identifier and the certification registration number;
- determining whether the platform is in compliance with a wireless standard;
- and
- determining a level of certification and one or more supported features associated with the platform.
A network apparatus, comprising:
- a transceiver to communicate wirelessly over multiple sub-channels in an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) wireless network;
- hash logic to generate a hash value based at least on a plurality of platform attributes;
- controller operable to generate a message including at least a platform identifier in conjunction with a network access identifier during network entry, the platform identifier is being on a string generated from the hash value;
- memory to store a first table;
- and
- platform identification logic to determine whether hash value collision indication presents in the first table based at least on the plurality of platform attributes.
