Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for exposing access network capabilities using an enabler proxy. In one embodiment, a device for providing access to one or more capabilities of a wireless network comprises a first interface to communicate with an application, a second interface to communicate on a wireless network as a subscriber device, and logic to process requests from the network-based application to access one or more capabilities of the wireless network. The logic may be configured to process the requests by at least using one or more services subscribed to by the device.
