RESOURCE-SENSITIVE TOKEN-BASED ACCESS POINT 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;
receiving a request for resource allocation associated with a user equipment, wherein the request for resource allocation is received from the user equipment independent of the user equipment having received information about an access point device prior to the request for resource allocation having been received;
determining a fitness metric value related to provisioning a resource via the access point device;
provisioning the resource, for utilization by the user equipment via the access point device, based on the fitness metric value; and
enabling access by the user equipment to the resource via the access point device in response to the provisioning of the resource.

Abstract
Resource-sensitive token-based access point selection is disclosed. A user equipment (UE) can generate a request for resources that can be shared with an selection component remote from the UE. The request for resources can be generated independent of the UE receiving information about an access point (AP) in range of the UE. The selection component can pair the UE with an AP resource based on AP data and UE data. The selection component can generate a token comprising information related to the pairing. The UE can receive the token via a device other than the AP or via the AP. The token can be employed by the UE to initiate a link to the AP to enable use of the AP resource by the UE. The link can be resource sensitive in view of the request for resources and available AP resources.

12. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a system comprising a processor, user equipment data associated with a user equipment and comprising an indication of a requested wireless communication resource, wherein the user equipment data is received from the user equipment independent of the user equipment having received access point data related to an access point device; based on the user equipment data and the access point data, determining, by the system, pair information related to pairing of the user equipment and an access point resource of the access point device; and generating, by the system, access token data based on the user equipment data, the access point data, and the pair information, wherein the access token data enables the user equipment to initiate a wireless link to the access point device to employ the access point resource. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer readable storage device comprising executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising:
-
generating a wireless communication resource request prior to the user equipment receiving access point data related to an access point device; receiving resource data associated with enabling the user equipment to initiate a wireless link to the access point device to employ the resource, wherein the resource data is generated in response to determining, by a device other than the user equipment, pair information related to pairing of the user equipment and the access point device to enable the user equipment to employ a resource of the access point device based on access point data and the wireless communication resource request; and initiating access to the resource data by the UE based on the resource data. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
