Multiple network, shared access security architecture supporting simultaneous use of single SIM multi-radio device and/or phone

摘要

A method and system is presented for a mobile wireless communication device that may communicate information to a first network device for enabling authentication, authorization and/or management of accounting for the mobile wireless device for use within a first network that utilizes a first wireless communication standard. A communication session may be established with a second network that utilizes a second wireless standard based on data sent to the second network related to the first authentication, authorization and/or accounting management. The wireless mobile device is operable to establish simultaneous communication sessions with the first network and the second network without communicating authentication, authorization and/or accounting information to the second network. The first and/or second network may comprise and/or share a session control server. The mobile wireless device may receive, store and/or modify additional information associated with the authentication, authorization and/or accounting management.

1. A method comprising:
at a server system,
receiving an access request from a mobile wireless device over a first wireless communication network that utilizes a first wireless communication standard for wireless communication with wireless devices including the wireless device, including receiving device security credentials from the mobile wireless device;initiating authentication, authorization or accounting transactions for the mobile wireless device on the first wireless communication network;based on the received device security credentials from the mobile wireless device, granting access for the mobile wireless device to the first wireless communication network;based on the authentication, authorization or accounting transactions for the mobile wireless device, communicating a mobile access voucher to a server which controls communication in a second wireless communication network that utilizes a second wireless communication standard for wireless communication with wireless devices including the mobile wireless device, the mobile access voucher configured to cause the server of the second wireless communication network to initiate a wireless communication session between an access point of the second wireless communication network and the mobile wireless device without requiring authentication, authorization or accounting transactions for the mobile wireless device on the second wireless communication network at the server system, in response to the received access request from the mobile wireless device,
establishing a first communication path over the first wireless communication network between the mobile wireless device and an application server;communicating data over the first communication path; andafter initiation of the wireless communication session between the access point of the second wireless communication network and the mobile wireless device over a second communication path over the second wireless communication network, maintaining communication of data over the first communication path simultaneously during communication over the second communication path.
