Abstract: Quality of Service (QoS) is provided to a secure data tunnel such an IPsec tunnel using information about the tunnel and the underlying data session to formulate a set of bandwidth requirements. A policy server operates to receive the information to create the set of bandwidth requirements which are enforced by a termination device. The termination device sets the bandwidths. QoS can be provided on a static or continuous basis. QoS can be provided on a dynamic basis. QoS can be provided at different levels depending on the type of data session. Multiple QoS can be provided for multiple data sessions existing simultaneously using multiple SSIDs.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer-readable media are provided for providing wireless services to an uncertified device. The system comprises a front-end component for receiving a hardware identifier attributes for a plurality of devices. The system further comprises a database for associating and storing the hardware identifier and the attributes for each of the devices. Additionally, the system includes a network operator for receiving a request from a requesting device to access a wireless network, accessing the database to determine if the requesting device is authorized to access the wireless network, formatting data according to the attributes of the requesting device, and providing the formatted data to the requesting device.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer-readable media are provided for authorizing a device to authenticate onto a network from a base station. The method includes receiving a first identifier of a device and receiving a second identifier of a base station. Furthermore, the method includes determining if the device is authorized to authenticate onto the network from the base station based on an evaluation of the first and second identifiers. Additionally, the method includes authorizing the device to authenticate onto the network when it is determined that the device is authorized to receive service at the base station.

Abstract: A radio access network dynamically compiles history data regarding mobile wireless devices that tend to fail successful ranging, e.g., establishment of Layer 1 communication with a radio access node or base station. The history data is obtained from messages sent from the mobile device to the network which contain a count indicating the number of times the device has failed a ranging attempt. If the history (or count) data indicates that a wireless device has experienced ranging failures exceeding a threshold number of failures, the base station responsively blocks the device from attempting any additional ranging for a period of time. The period of time can be short-term period of time or a long term period of time. The methods avoid excessive use of air interface resources by excluding wireless devices which are unable to successfully range. That is, “bad” or “problem” wireless devices are excluded from access to the network.
