Location based sharing of a network access credential
First Claim
1. A first user equipment, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
receiving, based on a differential time measurement for a first NodeB site pair of devices, a historical geographic location value corresponding to a historical differential timing measurement for the first NodeB site pair of devices, wherein the first NodeB site pair of devices comprises a first NodeB device and a second NodeB device;
receiving a network access credential affiliated with a second user equipment based on a geographic location value; and
in response to determining that a rule related to a spatial condition between the first user equipment, based on the historical geographic location value, and the second user equipment, based on the geographic location value, has been satisfied, enabling access by the first user equipment to the network access credential affiliated with the second user equipment.

Abstract
A network access credential can be shared among devices based on location information for a device. Location information can include timed fingerprint location information. In an aspect, location information can be associated with a location of user equipment. This location information can be correlated with network access credentials. Location information can be used to access a relevant network access credential. The relevant network access credential can be shared with other devices. In an embodiment, sharing a network access credential can be between mobile devices. In another embodiment, sharing a network access credential can be between a remote computing device and a mobile device. Sharing a credential can allow for access to a network without having to generate or input new credentials.

12. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a first device comprising a processor, a network access credential affiliated with a second device associated with a wireless network, wherein the receiving the network access credential is based on a geographic location value, wherein the geographic location value corresponds to a proximity of the first device to the second device, wherein the proximity is determined based on a historic geographic location value ascribed to the first device as a first device location value and on a second device location value ascribed to the second device, wherein the historical geographic location value is determined from a differential time measurement for a first NodeB site pair of devices correlated to a historical differential timing measurement for the first NodeB site pair of devices, and wherein the first NodeB site pair of devices comprises a first NodeB device and a second NodeB device; and accessing, by the first device, the network access credential affiliated with the second device based on a rule related to a trigger condition being satisfied. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a first user equipment, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
-
receiving a network access credential affiliated with a second user equipment based on a geographic location value, wherein the geographic location value corresponds to a distance between the first user equipment and the second user equipment, wherein the distance is determined based on a historic geographic location value used by the first user equipment as a current first user equipment location value and on a current second user equipment location value of the second user equipment, wherein the historical geographic location value is determined from a differential time measurement for a first NodeB site pair of devices correlated to a historical differential timing measurement for the first NodeB site pair of devices, and wherein the first NodeB site pair of devices comprises a first NodeB device and a second NodeB device; and employing the network access credential affiliated with the second user equipment based on a kinetic condition being determined to be satisfied. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
