Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a multi-mode wireless access protocol (MMWAP). A redirection router may receive a pre-association request, from a user communication device, and send an acknowledgment of the pre-association request. The user communication device may further transmit authorization keys associated with an application installed in the user communication device. Based on the authorization keys, the redirection router may send an authentication indication to the user communication device. The user communication device may use the redirection router to transmit and receive messages associated with the application to public networks and other private networks. The redirection router may maintain multi-mode connectivity independently with multiple user communication devices.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor;
a communication interface communicatively coupled to the at least one processor; and
a memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
receive, via the communication interface and from a user communication device, a pre-association request, wherein the pre-association request indicates a query for available redirection routers;
send, based on the pre-association request and to the user communication device, an acknowledgement message;
receive, from the user communication device, authorization keys, wherein the authorization keys are associated with a first application installed on the user communication device;
determine, based on the authorization keys, a modulation value associated with the authorization keys;
send, to the user communication device, an authentication indication based on a modulation value associated with the authorization keys; and
receive, from a redirection router, data associated with the first application, wherein the redirection router blocks transmission of any data not associated with the first application.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the computer-readable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the apparatus to:
receive, from the user communication device, an application association request, wherein the application association request comprises an indication of the first application; and
send, to the user communication device and based on the application association request, an association response message indicating that the user communication device is permitted to send, to the apparatus, messages associated with the first application.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus sends the acknowledgment message and the authentication indication in a 2.4 GHz frequency band.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:
the apparatus determines the modulation value based on authorization keys and further based on location information corresponding to the apparatus; and
the apparatus sends the authentication indication when the modulation value is greater than or equal to ninety percent.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the modulation value is further based on identification information of the first application.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the sending of the authentication indication occurs based the modulation value associated with the authorization keys being greater than or equal to ninety percent.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the pre-association request is sent by the user communication device when no beacon frames are detected.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the beacon frames are associated with an International Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN) protocol.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the authorization keys comprise identification information corresponding to the first application.

10. A method comprising steps to:
receive, via a communication interface and from a user communication device, a pre-association request, wherein the pre-association request indicates a query for available redirection routers;
send, based on the pre-association request and to the user communication device, an acknowledgement message;
receive, from the user communication device, authorization keys, wherein the authorization keys are associated with a first application installed on the user communication device;
determine, based on the authorization keys, a modulation value associated with the authorization keys;
send, to the user communication device, an authentication indication based on a modulation value associated with the authorization keys; and
receive, from a redirection router, data associated with the first application, wherein the redirection router blocks transmission of any data not associated with the first application.

11. The method of claim 10 , comprising steps to:
receive, from the user communication device, an application association request, wherein the application association request comprises an indication of the first application; and
send, to the user communication device and based on the application association request, an association response message indicating that the user communication device is permitted to send, to the apparatus, messages associated with the first application.

12. The method of claim 10 , comprising steps to:
send, by the apparatus, the acknowledgment message and the authentication indication in a 2.4 GHz frequency band.

13. The method of claim 10 , comprising steps to:
determine, by the apparatus, the modulation value based on authorization keys and further based on location information corresponding to the apparatus; and
send, by the apparatus, the authentication indication when the modulation value is greater than or equal to ninety percent.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the modulation value is further based on identification information of the first application.

15. The method of claim 10 , wherein the sending of the authentication indication occurs based the modulation value associated with the authorization keys being greater than or equal to ninety percent.

16. The method of claim 10 , wherein the pre-association request is sent by the user communication device when no beacon frames are detected.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the beacon frames are associated with an International Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN) protocol.

18. The method of claim 10 , wherein the authorization keys comprise identification information corresponding to the first application.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a computer processor, cause a computer system to:
receive, via a communication interface, a pre-association request, wherein the pre-association request indicates a query for available redirection routers;
send, based on the pre-association request, an acknowledgement message;
receive authorization keys, wherein the authorization keys are associated with a first application installed on a user communication device;
determine, based on the authorization keys, a modulation value associated with the authorization keys;
send, to the user communication device, an authentication indication based on a modulation value associated with the authorization keys; and
receive, from a redirection router, data associated with the first application, wherein the redirection router blocks transmission of any data not associated with the first application.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 , storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computer processor, cause a computer system to:
receive, from the user communication device, an application association request, wherein the application association request comprises an indication of the first application;
send, to the user communication device and based on the application association request, an association response message indicating that the user communication device is permitted to send, messages associated with the first application;
send the acknowledgment message and the authentication indication in a 2.4 GHz frequency band;
determine the modulation value based on authorization keys and further based on l
