The registration information includes a private IP address for the mobile device and a mobile device session identifier associated with an instance of an application client on the mobile device. A push trigger associated with an event of an application server is received at the push server via a second interface exposed outside of a service provider firewall. The push trigger includes a push trigger session identifier. When the push trigger session identifier matches the mobile device session identifier, the push trigger is determined to be associated with the instance of the application client on the mobile device and is transmitted to the push client without persistent TCP connection. | 05-29-2014 |
20150208326 | PRIORITIZATION OF ACCESS POINTS BY AN ANDSF SERVER - Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method, network node, and non-transitory machine-readable storage medium including one or more of the following: identifying, by an ANDSF server, a location associated with a UE in communication with the ANDSF server via an S14 session over a first access network; determining a plurality of access points for use by the UE to utilize at least one access network other than the first access network; calculating a first score for a first access point; calculating a second score for a second access point; generating a policy identifying the first access point associated with a first priority and the second access point associated with a second priority, wherein the first priority is set higher than the second priority based on a comparison of the first score to the second score; and transmitting the policy to the UE. | 07-23-2015 |
20150208335 | RULE-DRIVEN POLICY CREATION BY AN ANDSF SERVER - Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method, network node, and non-transitory machine-readable storage medium including one or more of the following: identifying a location associated with a user equipment device (UE) in communication with an ANDSF server via an S14 session established over a first access network; retrieving a policy rule that includes a first portion and a second portion; determining, based on evaluating the first portion using the location associated with the UE, that the policy rule is applicable to the S14 session; generating, in response to determining that the policy rule is applicable to the S14 session, a policy based on the second portion, wherein the policy includes an identification of an access point for use by the UE to access a second access network; and transmitting the policy including the identification of the access point to the UE via the S14 session over the first access network. | 07-23-2015 |
