LOCATION BASED POLICY FOR USER EQUIPMENT OPERATING IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF A SHARED HOME LONG TERM EVOLUTION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for location based policy for user equipment (UE) operating in different areas of a shared home Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, the method comprising:
- detecting a trigger, and responsive to the trigger, determining a first enterprise operating area in which the UE is currently located, wherein the first enterprise operating area is one of a plurality of enterprise operating areas of the LTE system;
determining whether the first enterprise operating area is a home enterprise operating area or a visited enterprise operating area for the UE;
when the first enterprise operating area is the home enterprise operating area, selecting a first set of policy rules for the UE;
when the first enterprise operating area is the visited enterprise operating area, selecting a second set of policy rules for the UE.

Abstract
A method for location based policy for UE operating in different areas of a shared home LTE system includes: responsive to detecting a trigger, determining a first enterprise operating area (EOA) in which the UE is currently located, wherein the first EOA is one of a plurality of EOAs of the LTE system; determining whether the first EOA is a home EOA or a visited EOA; when the first EOA is the home EOA, selecting a first set of policy rules for the UE; when the first EOA is the visited EOA, selecting a second set of policy rules for the UE that provides a lower Quality of Service (QoS) than the first set of policy rules; if a trust relationship exists, selecting a third set of policy rules for the UE while in the visited EOA, which provides a higher QoS than the second set of policy rules.
