First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method to control service access for a wireless communication device, the method comprising:
- by the wireless communication device;
establishing an encrypted connection with a server through a non-3GPP wireless access network;
establishing an authenticated connection with the server through the non-3GPP wireless access network;
providing geographic location information for the wireless communication device to the server;
requesting access to one or more services provided through one or more access point names (APNs) to the server; and
receiving an indication to allow or disallow access to at least one of the one or more services and/or to the one or more APNs based at least in part on the provided geographic location information.

Abstract
Apparatus and methods to support location specific control to allow and/or disallow access to services through untrusted wireless networks by a wireless communication device are disclosed. One or more network elements obtain a location of the wireless communication device and selectively allow and/or disallow access to one or more cellular network services and/or one or more access point names (APNs) based on the location of the wireless communication device when connecting through an untrusted wireless network.

17. A wireless communication device comprising one or more processors and a storage medium storing instructions that, when executed on the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to
establish an encrypted connection with a server through a non-3GPP wireless access network; -
establish an authenticated connection with the server through the non-3GPP wireless access network; provide geographic location information for the wireless communication device to the server; request access to one or more services provided through one or more access point names (APNs) to the server; and receive an indication to allow or disallow access to at least one of the one or more services and/or to the one or more APNs based at least in part on the provided geographic location information. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wireless communication device, cause the wireless communication device to:
-
establish an encrypted connection with a server through a non-3GPP wireless access network; establish an authenticated connection with the server through the non-3GPP wireless access network; provide geographic location information for the wireless communication device to the server; request access to one or more services provided through one or more access point names (APNs) to the server; and receive an indication to allow or disallow access to at least one of the one or more services and/or to the one or more APNs based at least in part on the provided geographic location information.
