NETWORK EDGE BASED ACCESS NETWORK DISCOVERY AND SELECTION
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
updating user profile data based on an aggregate usage of devices associated with a user profile, wherein the user profile data corresponds to the user profile, and wherein the user profile data comprises a credential facilitating access to an access point device coupled to a network device of a network of a wireless network provider;
determining a score for a resource available via the access point device, wherein a service area of the access point device comprises a location of a mobile device, and wherein the determining the score comprises determining that a parameter of the resource satisfies a rule related to a resource request; and
based on the score, providing access to the credential to facilitate access to the resource by the mobile device via the access point device.

Abstract
An edge device comprising access network discovery and selection function (ANDSF) features is disclosed. An edge device can be a device located at a logical edge of a wireless network. An edge ANDSF component can rank access network resources. The rank can be based on characteristics of an access network resource, a user profile, device resource demands, or a user behavior model. The user profile can comprise information facilitating pre-authentication of a device to an access network resource. Further, the user profile can be considered portable with regard to localized aspects of edge ANDSF components. The user profile provides improved ANDSF feature performance.

9. A method, comprising:
-
in response to receiving, by a device comprising a processor, information relating to an aggregate use of devices associated with a user profile, updating user profile data corresponding to the user profile, wherein the user profile data comprises a credential enabling access to an access point device in accord with an access network discovery and selection function rule; determining, by the device, a value representing a degree to which a resource available via the access point device satisfies a resource request, wherein the access point device has a service area comprising a location of a mobile device; selecting, by the device, the access point device based on the value; and enabling, by the device, the mobile device to access the resource via the access point device by providing access to the credential. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
