1. A method for dynamically provisioning access and/or service for a device, the method comprising:
- receiving information indicative of a user identity associated with a user of the device;
correlating the user identity to the device, the device being used by a plurality of different users including the user at different times or the device being one of a plurality of devices used by the user at the different times;
determining a user profile descriptive of access to be afforded to the user within a wireless communication network or indicative of service parameters associated with provision of services to the user in the wireless communication network; and
granting the user access to use the services of the wireless communication network via the device in accordance with the user profile.

19. A wireless communication network comprising:
-
a wireless communication device; one or more access nodes configured to wirelessly connect to the wireless communication device to provide network services to the wireless communication device; a Home Subscriber Server/Subscriber Profile Registry datastore configured to store service subscription states and user-subscribed QoS information to be provided to devices of the wireless communication network; and an Identity and Access Management module for dynamically provisioning access and/or service for the wireless communication device, the Identity and Access Management module comprising processing circuitry configured for; receiving information indicative of a user identity associated with a user of the wireless communication device; correlating the user identity to a device identifier of the wireless communication device, the wireless communication device being used by a plurality of different users including the user at different times or the wireless communication device being one of a plurality of devices used by the user at the different times; determining a user profile descriptive of access to be afforded to the user in the wireless communication network or indicative of service parameters associated with provision of services to the user in the wireless communication network; and updating the Home Subscriber Server/Subscriber Profile Registry datastore of the wireless communication network to associate the user profile with the device identifier to grant the user access to use the services of the wireless communication network via the wireless communication device in accordance with the user profile. - View Dependent Claims (20)
