Support for wireless radio device in multiple wireless regulatory domains
First Claim
1. A method of automatically configuring operating parameters of a wireless radio device, comprising:
- determining, with the wireless radio device, a geographic location of the wireless radio device;
determining the regulatory domain in which the wireless radio device is located based on the geographic location of the wireless radio device, wherein the regulatory domain is determined by;
requesting regulatory domain information from a server, the request comprising the geographic location of the wireless radio device; and
receiving an identification of the regulatory domain from the server in response to the request; and
configuring, with the wireless radio device, the operating parameters of the wireless radio device in accordance with configuration parameters associated with the determined regulatory domain.

Abstract
A system and method for automatically configuring operating parameters of a wireless radio device. The wireless radio device determines a geographic location of the wireless radio device, and a determination is made as to the regulatory domain in which the wireless radio device is located based on the geographic location of the wireless radio device. The wireless radio device may register with and/or receive configuration information from the server associated with the regulatory domain in which the wireless radio device is located. The wireless radio device configures the operating parameters of the wireless device in accordance with configuration parameters associated with the determined regulatory domain.
