System and method for automatic detection and reporting of the mapping between device identity and network address in wireless networks

摘要

A method and system for communicating the identity of devices detected in a wireless communication system. The devices connect to a mobile wireless network comprising a wireless access network and a core Internet Protocol (IP) network. The identities of devices so detected are specified by a combination of device and network-level identities and is communicated to a management server. In an exemplary embodiment, network elements of the core IP network are used to detect and convey the identity of wireless devices to a management server.
