Location based sharing of a network access credential
First Claim
1. A first user equipment, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
obtaining a differential time measurement for a second user equipment associated with a first NodeB site pair of devices comprising a first NodeB device and a second NodeB device;
obtaining, based on the differential time measurement, a historical geographic location value associated with a historical differential timing measurement for the first NodeB site pair of devices;
estimating a geographic location of the first user equipment based on the differential time measurement, the historic geographic location value for the first NodeB site pair of devices, and another historic geographic location value for another NodeB site pair of devices; and
receiving a network access credential of the second user equipment in response to the geographic location of the first user equipment being determined to satisfy a rule related to a spatial condition between the first user equipment and the second user equipment.

Abstract
A network access credential can be shared among devices based on location information for a device. Location information can include timed fingerprint location information. In an aspect, location information can be associated with a location of user equipment. This location information can be correlated with network access credentials. Location information can be used to access a relevant network access credential. The relevant network access credential can be shared with other devices. In an embodiment, sharing a network access credential can be between mobile devices. In another embodiment, sharing a network access credential can be between a remote computing device and a mobile device. Sharing a credential can allow for access to a network without having to generate or input new credentials.

11. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a first user equipment comprising a processor, a differential time measurement for a second user equipment, wherein the differential time measurement is associated with a first NodeB site pair of devices comprising a first NodeB device and a second NodeB device; receiving, by the first user equipment, a historical geographic location value based on satisfying a rule comparing the differential time value with a historical differential timing measurement for the first NodeB site pair of devices; determining, by the first user equipment, location information related to a geographic location of the first user equipment based on the differential time measurement, the historic geographic location value for the first NodeB site pair of devices, and another historic geographic location value for another NodeB site pair of devices; and receiving, by the first user equipment, a network access credential of the second user equipment based on the location information. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
-
receiving a differential time measurement for a user equipment associated with a first NodeB site pair of devices comprising a first NodeB device and a second NodeB device; obtaining, based on the differential time measurement, a historical geographic location value associated with a historical differential timing measurement for the first NodeB site pair of devices; and sharing a network access credential of the user equipment with another user equipment based on a geographic location of the user equipment in response to determining the geographic location based on the differential time measurement, the historic geographic location value for the first NodeB site pair of devices, and another historic geographic location value for another NodeB site pair of devices. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
