Abstract:
Described are methods that allow credentials of a first client station to authenticate a second client station. An exemplary method includes associating a first client station with a second client station, the first client station including credential information, the associating authorizing the second client station to use the credential information, transmitting, by the second client station, an association request to a network, the network utilizing the credential information to authorize a connection, the second client station configured to perform a proxy functionality for requests received from the network to be forwarded to the first client station and responses received from the first client station to be forwarded to the network, determining, by the network, whether the credential information received from the second client station is authenticated and establishing a connection between the second client station and the network using the credential information of the first client station.
Abstract:
A device providing inter-device call continuity facilitated by a wireless audio output device may include a processor configured to initiate, over a peer-to-peer connection with a second device, a communication session between the second device and a third device. The processor may be further configured to establish, over the peer-to-peer connection with the second device, an audio link corresponding to the communication session. The processor may be further configured to determine, based at least in part on the audio link, that a connection quality of the peer-to-peer connection satisfies a connection degradation condition. The processor may be further configured to request, over a wide area network connection, for the communication session with the third device to be handed-off from the second device to the first device, and to establish, over the wide area network connection, the communication session with the third device.
Abstract:
Described are systems and methods for transferring calls between multiple stations. An exemplary system includes a first station and a second station that establishes a first communication session having a first call identification with the first station. The system further includes a third station and a network device that includes stored data indicating a relationship between the first station and the third station, the network device configured to receive the first call identification from the first station and transmit the first call identification to the third station based on the relationship, wherein the third station is configured to receive the first call identification and send an invite to the second station to replace the first communication session with the first station with a second communication session with the third station, the invite including the first call identification and a second call identification that identifies the second communication session.
Abstract:
A station that performs methods related to emergency calls. In one example, the station determines that a first connection to a cellular network is unavailable, the client station being associated with a home network having a home Public-Safety Answering Point (PSAP), the station disposed at a location outside the home network, the location having a remote PSAP. The station determines a second connection to a WiFi network is available, establishes the second connection to the WiFi network and performs an emergency call over the WiFi network. The emergency call being routed to the remote PSAP associated with the location. In another example, the station determines it is capable of performing an emergency call over a cellular network, receives a request to perform an emergency call, determines whether a circuit switched radio access technology (CS-RAT) is available and performs the emergency call over a WiFi network when the CS-RAT is unavailable.
Abstract:
A method for network access credential migration is provided. The method can include deprovisioning a network access credential for a wireless network from a first wireless communication device. The method can further include determining that the network access credential has been successfully deprovisioned from the first wireless communication device. The method can additionally include provisioning the network access credential to the second wireless communication device after the network access credential has been successfully deprovisioned from the first wireless communication device.
