Enhanced hotspot 2.0 management object for trusted non-3GPP access discovery
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a transceiver configured to transmit information to and receive information from a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) access point;
processing circuitry coupled to the transceiver and configured to;
determine a service provider associated with the WiFi access point based on a response to an Access Network Query Protocol (ANQP) query,receive at least a portion of a management object (MO), the MO including a trust field specifying whether the WiFi access point is trusted for WiFi offload by the service provider;
in response to determining that the WiFi access point is trusted, send an L3 attach trigger; and
in response to determining that the WiFi access point is not trusted, establish an Internet Protocol security (IPsec) tunnel that connects the apparatus to an Evolved Packet Data Gateway (ePDG) through the untrusted WiFi access point.

Abstract
User equipment (UE) includes a transceiver configured to transmit and receive information to/from a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) access point. The UE includes processing circuitry coupled to the transceiver and configured to: determine a service provider associated with the WiFi access point based on a response to an ANQP query. The UE is configured to receive at least a portion of a management object (MO). The MO includes a trust field specifying whether the WiFi access point is trusted for WiFi offload by the service provider. The UE is configured to: in response to determining that the WiFi access point is trusted, send an L3 attach trigger. The UE is configured to: in response to determining that the WiFi access point is not trusted, establish an Internet Protocol security (IPsec) tunnel that the UE to an Evolved Packet Data Gateway through the untrusted WiFi access point.

8. An apparatus comprising:
-
an input/output terminal configured to output information to and receive information from a user equipment (UE) through a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) access point; processing circuitry coupled to the input/output terminal and configured to; in response to a receiving a request to an Access Network Query Protocol (ANQP) query, output a response indicating a service provider associated with the WiFi access point; generate and provision to the UE at least a portion of a management object (MO), the MO including a trust field specifying whether the WiFi access point is trusted for WiFi offload by the service provider. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method comprising:
-
receiving information from a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) access point; determining, by processing circuitry, a service provider associated with the WiFi access point based on a response to an Access Network Query Protocol (ANQP) query, receiving at least a portion of a management object (MO), the MO including a trust field specifying whether the WiFi access point is trusted for WiFi offload by the service provider; in response to determining that the WiFi access point is trusted, sending an L3 attach trigger; and in response to determining that the WiFi access point is not trusted, establishing an Internet Protocol security (IPsec) tunnel that connects a user equipment to an Evolved Packet Data Gateway (ePDG) through the untrusted WiFi access point. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
