Location based sharing of a network access credential

摘要

The disclosed subject matter provides for sharing a network access credential based on location information. Location information can include timed fingerprint location information. In an aspect, location information can be associated with a location of user equipment. This location information can be correlated with network access credentials. Location information can be used to access a relevant network access credential. The relevant network access credential can be shared with other devices. In an embodiment, sharing a network access credential can be between mobile devices. In another embodiment, sharing a network access credential can be between a remote computing device and a mobile device. Sharing a credential can allow for access to a network without having to generate or input new credentials.

1. A user equipment, comprising:
a memory to store executable instructions; and a processor, coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of the executable instructions to perform operations, comprising:
receiving location information associated with the user equipment, wherein the location information comprises timed fingerprint location information based on a first differential timing measurement related to a first pair of NodeB devices comprising a first NodeB device and a second NodeB device and a second differential timing measurement related to a second pair of NodeB devices comprising a third NodeB device and a fourth NodeB device, wherein the first and second differential timing measurements are correlated to geographic location information determined before the timed fingerprint location information is received by the user equipment, and the first and second differential timing measurements are stored as part of the timed fingerprint location information to facilitate determining a location of the user equipment;selecting a network access credential of the user equipment based on the location information; andfacilitating communications related to distribution of the network access credential to another user equipment.
