SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING OPERATOR-DIFFERENTIATED MESSAGING TO A WIRELESS USER EQUIPMENT (UE) DEVICE

摘要

In one embodiment, a scheme is disclosed for providing operator-differentiat ed messaging to a user equipment (UE) device that is operable in wide area cellular network (WACN) bands as well as in wireless access network bands (e.g., GAN bands and/or UMA bands). A network node (e.g., a GAN controller (GANC) or UMA network controller (UNC)) is equipped with logic for resolving service requirements as well as network information gathered by the UE devic e. Based thereon, a response message is transmitted to the UE device, the response message including supplementary fields for carrying operator- differentiated information in free-form text.
