REGISTRATION MANAGEMENT OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICES WITH A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of managing registration of a plurality of wireless communication devices with a communication system that includes a plurality of networks, at least one of the plurality of networks operating with a different communication protocol than another one of the plurality of networks, the method comprising:
- assigning a registration limit to each of the plurality of networks, the registration limits indicating a maximum number of wireless communication devices supported by each of the plurality of networks;
assigning a registration priority to each of the plurality of wireless communication devices; and
controlling, via a controller, registration of each of the plurality of wireless communication devices to the plurality of networks based onthe registration limits,the registration priorities, anda quantity of wireless communication device registrations assigned to a wireless communication device user.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for managing registration of a plurality of wireless communication devices to a plurality of different networks with a controller. The controller controls registration and registration priority to each of the plurality of wireless communication devices. Based on the registration priority, the registration limits of each network, and an amount of wireless communication device registrations associated with a wireless communication device user, the controller controls registration of each of the wireless communication devices across the plurality of networks. Controlling registration includes denying registration to a wireless communication device user that has a preexisting network connection, deregistering a wireless communication device that has more than one network connection, and registering/deregistering wireless communication devices based on the registration priority of each wireless communication device.
