OFFLINE ACCESS NETWORK DISCOVERY AND SELECTION FUNCTION (ANDSF) PROVISIONING USING NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATIONS (NFC)

摘要

Described herein are architectures, platforms and methods for obtaining a subscriber policy by a no-data-connectivity portable device to have wireless connectivity using a non-3GPP network.

主权项

1. A method of near field communications (NFC)-based wireless connectivity in a device, the method comprising:
establishing an NFC link; receiving a subscriber policy using the established NFC link, wherein the subscriber policy is pre-configured to include an access-authorization by the device; determining the access-authorization for the subscriber policy; and connecting to a wireless network based on the determined access-authorization.
