Online signup provisioning techniques for hotspot connections
First Claim
1. An apparatus of a station (STA), the apparatus comprising:
- memory; and
processing circuitry coupled to the memory, the processing circuitry configured to;
initiate a Transport Layer Security (TLS) session with an online signup (OSU) server;
encode a device management (DM) package 1 for transmission to the OSU server, the DM package 1 including an indication that the apparatus is contacting the OSU server to establish a new subscription; and
decode a DM package 2 received from the OSU server in response to the DM package 1, the DM package 2 including a universal resource indicator (URI), the URI including a key, the key to link browser interaction with the TLS session.

Abstract
Embodiments of system and method configurations for providing provisioning information to a mobile device via a wireless network access point are generally described herein. In some examples, a communication session is established between a mobile device and a service provider to obtain provisioning information for wireless network connectivity via a designated access point (e.g., a “hotspot”). A HTTP session is established within the communication session to exchange registration information via a browser of the mobile device. Provisioning information is returned within the communication session in a Subscription Management Object (MO) in response to successful completion of the HTTP session. The subscription MO is provided outside of the browser and the HTTP session (but within the communication session) using mechanisms such as OMA-DM or SOAP-XML communications. The mobile device can then utilize the provisioning information from the subscription MO to associate with an appropriate hotspot.

10. At least one machine readable storage medium comprising a plurality of instructions that, in response to being executed on a computing device, cause the computing device to:
-
initiate a Transport Layer Security (TLS) session with an online signup (OSU) server; encode a device management (DM) package 1 for transmission to the OSU server, the DM package 1 including an indication that the device is contacting the OSU server to establish a new subscription; and decode a DM package 2 received from the OSU server in response to the DM package 1, the DM package 2 including a universal resource indicator (URI), the URI including a key, the key to link browser interaction with the TLS session. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method performed by an apparatus of a station (STA), the method comprising:
-
initiating, using processing circuitry of the apparatus, a Transport Layer Security (TLS) session with an online signup (OSU) server; encoding a device management (DM) package 1 for transmission to the OSU server, the DM package 1 including an indication that the apparatus is contacting the OSU server to establish a new subscription; and decoding a DM package 2 received from the OSU server in response to the DM package 1, the DM package 2 including a universal resource indicator (URI), the URI including a key, the key to link browser interaction with the TLS session. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. An apparatus of an online signup server (OSU), the apparatus comprising:
-
memory; and processing circuitry coupled to the memory, the processing circuitry configured to; receive a request, from a station (STA), to initiate a Transport Layer Security (TLS) session with the STA; decode a device management (DM) package 1 received from the STA, the DM package 1 including an indication that the STA is contacting the OSU server to establish a new subscription; and encode a DM package 2 for transmission to the STA in response to the DM package 1, the DM package 2 including a universal resource indicator (URI), the URI including a key, the key to link browser interaction with the TLS session.
