Abstract
A method and apparatus for receiving access network selection information, and obtaining information about whether the received information complies with operator's access network selection policy.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- receiving at a user equipment (UE's) home network access network selection information concerning a pending session the UE seeks to establish with an other network;
- determining whether the other network and/or the pending session complies with the home network's access network selection policy, and only if not the home network either:
- rejecting the pending session, or allowing the pending session with at least one of increased charges, reduced data rate and degraded quality.
An apparatus comprising:
- a communication interface configured to receive a user equipment (UE's) home network access network selection information concerning a pending session the UE seeks to establish with an other network;
- a first processor configured with a memory storing program code that when executed causes the apparatus to determine whether the other network and/or the pending session complies with the home network's access network selection policy and only if not either:
- reject the pending session, or allow the pending session with at least one of increased charges, reduced data rate and degraded quality.
An apparatus comprising:
- a communication interface configured to receive compliance information indicating that a pending session a user equipment (UE) seeks to establish with an other network, and/or the other network, does not comply with a network selection access policy of the UE's home network;
- and
- a user interface configured to display in response an indication that the pending session is either rejected, or the pending session is allowed with at least one of increased charges, reduced data rate and degraded quality.
