ACCESS MODE SELECTION BASED ON USER EQUIPMENT SELECTED ACCESS NETWORK IDENTITY

摘要

Access mode selection based on user equipment selected access network identity may be useful, for example, with respect to the authentication in third generation partnership project (3GPP) networks of subscribers attaching to a trusted wireless local area network (WLAN) access network (TWAN). A method of access mode selection can include informing, in a request, an authentication server regarding at least one access mode for a user equipment. The method can also include selecting a mode of the at least one access mode to use with respect to the user equipment based on a response received from the authentication server in response to the request.
