Abstract: A technique for managing access to one or more wireless networks in a policy proxy server includes receiving, from a network policy server, a network access policy for a mobile communication device, the network access policy defining one or more rules for determining wireless networks that are currently recommended for the device executing, in response to receiving a trigger signal, the network access policy to select one or more recommended wireless networks for the device, the trigger signal including an authorization request from an authorization server, the request requesting access to a specific wireless network for the device, and enforcing the network access policy by providing, to a remote entity, in response to the specific wireless network being one of the wireless networks currently recommended for device, an authorization indication that indicates that the device is authorized to access the specific network, wherein the remote entity includes an authorization server.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and system for resource allocation in redirection of data traffic are provided. The method includes receiving a message including a subscription identification, position information associated with the subscription and an action proposal associated with the subscription (200a), selecting at least one local area network based at least in part on the position information (222), mapping the at least one local area network to a local area network server (230), ensuring a valid unique task identification for the subscription in the local area network server, and sending an off-loading indication message including the action proposal, the valid task identification and an identifier of the local area network server to the subscription (200d).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for redirecting data traffic are provided. The method includes receiving a service request from a first device, allocating resources for the service, associating the resources with a first unique identifier, confirming the service request with the first device, receiving a connection request from a second device including the first unique identifier and an authentication certificate, passing the authentication certificate to the first device, and receiving an authentication confirmation from the first device. The method further includes, in response to receiving the authentication confirmation, accepting the connection request from the second device, providing an indication regarding at least one local area network to the second device, and providing required credentials associated with the at least one local area network to the second device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for redirecting data traffic, the method includes exchanging user data over a wireless connection with a destination identified by an Internet Protocol address using a wide area bearer, receiving, over the wide area bearer, an off-loading indication message including address information of at least one local access server, exchanging signalling messages including information regarding one or more available local access networks with the at least one local access server specified in the off-loading indication message, selecting a local access network based at least part on information exchanged with the at least one local access server and on information regarding wireless signal coverage activating a supplementary wireless local area bearer based at least part on information regarding one or more available local access networks received from the at least one local access server, and routing new connection opening requests to the supplementary wireless local area bearer.
