Abstract: Network circuitry authorizes User Equipment (UEs) for wireless services from wireless networks. The network circuitry stores lists of network identifiers that are associated with UE types. The network circuitry receives an authorization request that indicates a network identifier and a UE type. The UE type comprises model, operating system, user application, and/or radio frequency. The network circuitry retrieves a networks list for the UE type and compares the network identifier from the authorization request to the network identifiers on the network list. The authorization circuitry authorizes the UE responsive to a match between the network identifier from the authorization request and a network identifier on the network list.

Abstract: A wireless communication system serves User Equipment (UE) over external wireless networks. A provisioning system transfers a UE Identity (ID), network ID, and home policy for the UE to a network controller. The provisioning system transfers the network ID and a home rating group to a rating system. The network controller receives the UE ID and network ID from an external network element and transfers the home policy to the external network element. The external network element serves the UE based on the home policy and transfers external usage data to a rating system. The rating system translates the network ID into the home rating group and rates the external usage data using the home rating group. The rating system transfers the UE ID and home-rated usage data to a billing system. The billing system charges for the external network element service using the home-rated usage data.
