METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EFFICIENT USE OF A TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK AND THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK AND A CUSTOMER PREMISES EQUIPMENT

摘要

A method for efficient use of a connection between a telecommunications network and a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), via an access node, for a location based application includes: establishing a physical communication channel between the access node of the telecommunications network and the CPE; providing a public or private internet Protocol (IP) address to the CPE for use by the CPE to communicate with an IP Edge node of the telecommunications network; storing a location information related to the physical communication channel; initially assigning a first functionality level to the public or private IP address; and assigning a second functionality level to the public or private IP address when the telecommunications network is able to federate network access related identification information to a contract related identification information. The location information is used by the location based application.
