Systems and Methods for Wireless Network Selection Based on Attributes Stored in a Network Database
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a network identifier associated with a wireless network;
determining if a network profile associated with the network identifier is stored within a network profile database comprising a plurality of network profiles; and
if the network profile associated with the network identifier is stored within the network profile database, retrieving the network profile;
if the network profile associated with the network identifier is not stored within the network profile database, initiating the network profile, obtaining an attribute associated with the network device identifier, and storing the attribute within the network profile.
