Abstract: The present system relates to a server for providing data connectivity in a packet mode communication network. The server has a processor arranged to receive, via a first brokerage control unit, a charging rule request to allow one or more communication devices in the communication network to exchange with an application server data charged under operator specific billing. The server determines availability of the operator specific billing based on network parameters and the charging rule request, and updates the database of a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) entity in the communication network based on available operator specific billing and an identifier for the application server, for subsequent charging of data exchanged with the application server at said available operator specific billing.

Abstract: Application-based selection of a network is disclosed. An electronic device provides data connectivity. The device includes: an application, the application being associated to a list of preferred radio networks for exchanging data over the radio networks; a connection manager to detect and connect the device with a radio network for exchanging data over the radio network; an event processor operable to detect the triggering of the application, the connection manager being further configured, when the event detector reports the triggering of the application, to retrieve the list of preferred radio networks associated to the application, connect with a radio network selected from the retrieved list of preferred radio networks, and process a data connectivity request from the application over the registered radio network.

Abstract: Secure toll-free application data network access is disclosed. Respective limits for registered traffic (e.g., application provider addresses; content type; transmission time; location; etc.) and non-registered traffic (e.g., all other traffic) may be associated with an application eligible for toll-free connectivity. As traffic is received via the toll-free connection, the data is inspected to determine first whether the traffic is registered or non-registered traffic. If registered, the quantity of data is deducted from the allowable data amount specified during provisioning for registered traffic. If non-registered, the quantity of data is deducted from the allowable amount specified during provisioning for non-registered traffic. Accordingly, a toll-free application provider can agree to sponsor a limited quantity of arbitrary traffic which may be generated as content viewed through the wrapped application.
