Channel selection in a mobile communication device application framework

摘要

A user equipment (UE) comprising a processor, a memory, a radio transceiver, and a mobile application framework client stored in the memory. When executed by the processor the client receives a request for a communication service via an API, builds a service request message comprising an application identity and an identity of the requested service, transmits the service request message via the radio transceiver directed through a first communication channel defined by a first access point node (APN) specified by the client to a server, receives a first service response message comprising a second APN from the server, transmits the service request message via the radio transceiver directed through a second communication channel defined by the second APN to the server, and receives a second service response message from the second communication channel defined by the second APN from the server.

1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
a processor; a non-transitory memory; a radio transceiver; a mobile application framework client stored in the non-transitory memory that, when executed by the processor
receives a request for a communication service via an application programming interface (API) implemented by the mobile application framework client,responsive to the request for communication service, builds a service request message comprising an application identity and an identity of the requested service,transmits the service request message via the radio transceiver directed through a first communication channel defined by a first access point node (APN) specified by the mobile application framework client to a mobile application framework server, wherein the first communication channel comprises a billed channel, and wherein content that flows to the UE over the billed channel is aggregated to a data usage count of a wireless communication subscription account associated with the UE,receives a first service response message via the radio transceiver from the mobile application framework server, wherein the first service response message comprises an identity of a second APN,responsive to the first service response message, transmits the service request message via the radio transceiver directed through a second communication channel defined by the second APN to the mobile application framework server, andreceives a second service response message via the radio transceiver from the second communication channel defined by the second APN from the mobile application framework server, wherein the second service response comprises content supporting the communication service requested via the API implemented by the mobile application framework client.
