Management of access to service in an access point
First Claim
1. An access point device, comprising:
- a memory to store executable instructions; and
a processor, coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of the executable instructions to perform operations, comprising;
receiving first access control data from an access management server device via a set of network devices of a network, wherein the first access control data defines a first set of devices authorized to access the set of network devices of the network via the access point device;
storing the first access control data in the memory;
controlling access to the set of network devices based on the first access control data;
receiving second access control data from the access management server device via the set of network devices of the network, wherein the second access control data defines a second set of devices authorized to access the set of network devices via the access point device;
replacing the first access control data with the second access control data in the memory in response to the receiving the second access control data; and
controlling access to the set of network devices based on the second access control data that replaced the first access control data.

Abstract
System(s) and method(s) are provided to configure access rights to wireless resources and telecommunication service(s) supplied through a set of access points (APs). Access to wireless resources is authorized by access attributes in access control list(s) (ACL(s)) while a profile of service attributes linked to the ACL(s) regulate provision of telecommunication service(s). Access and service attributes can be automatically or dynamically configured, at least in part, in response to changes in data that directly or indirectly affects an operation environment in which the set of APs is deployed. Automatic or dynamic configuration of access or service attributes enable control or coordination of wireless service provided through the set of APs; degree of control or coordination is determined at least in part by enablement or disablement of disparate services for disparate devices at disparate access points at disparate times and with disparate service priority.

8. A method, comprising:
-
determining, by a system comprising a processor, a change has occurred to first access control data based on information stored in an access information data store, wherein the first access control data defines a first set of devices authorized to access a network device of a network via an access point device; generating, by the system, second access control data based on the change, wherein the second access control data defines a second set of devices authorized to access the network device via the access point device; and initiating, by the system, transmission of the second access control data to the access point device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer readable storage device comprising executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause an access point device comprising a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
-
receiving first access control data from an access management server device via a set of network devices of a network, wherein the first access control data defines a first set of devices authorized to access the set of network devices of the network via the access point device; validating a credential of a device requesting establishment of attachment signaling with the access point device based on the first access control data; in response to the credential of the device failing the validating, forwarding the credential of the device to the access point management server device; receiving, from the access point management server device, validation data representative of an indication of a successful validation of the credential of the mobile device based on second access control data; updating the first access control data based on the second access control data to generate updated first access control data in response to receiving the second access control data from the access point management server device; and controlling access to the set of network devices based on the updated first access control data. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
