Self-adjusting mobile platform policy enforcement agent for controlling network access, mobility and efficient use of local and network resources

摘要

Presented is a method for controlling network access for the mobile device. The method includes analyzing a first plurality of network parameters, collected by the mobile device, based on one or more local network policies. The method further includes receiving an update for the one or more local network policies from a policy server based on a second plurality of network parameters received by the policy server from a plurality of mobile devices. The method also includes rerouting data traffic for the mobile device from a first wireless network configuration to a second wireless network configuration based on the analyzing of the second plurality of network parameters and the update from the policy server. Rerouting data traffic for the mobile device may include maintaining a constant IP address utilizing a virtual network adapter within the mobile device to provide split tunneling over two or more network connections of the second wireless network configuration.

1. A method of controlling network access for use by a mobile device having a processor and a memory, said method comprising:
collecting, by said processor of said mobile device, a first plurality of network parameters while using a first wireless network configuration via a wireless connection link established between said mobile device and said first wireless network based on one or more local network policies stored in said memory, said first plurality of network parameters being related to said wireless connection link; transmitting, by said processor of said mobile device, said first plurality of network parameters to a policy server; receiving, by said processor of said mobile device, an update for said one or more local network policies from said policy server based on said first plurality of network parameters and a second plurality of network parameters received by said policy server from one or more other mobile devices; storing, by said processor of said mobile device in said memory, said update for said one or more local network policies; and rerouting data traffic for said mobile device, by said processor of said mobile device, from said first wireless network configuration to a second wireless network configuration based on analyzing said first plurality of network parameters and based on said update received from said policy server for said one or more local network policies.
