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

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

2 . The communication system of claim 1 , further comprising a server apparatus comprising at least one third processor, a third communication interface communicatively coupled to the at least one third processor, and a third memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one third processor, cause the server apparatus to:
send, via the third communication interface to the user communication device, an executable file that, when executed by the second processor, causes the user communication device to store the second computer-readable instructions in the second memory.

3 . The communication system of claim 2 , wherein the second memory stores additional computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one second processor, cause the user communication device to:
receive, via the second communication interface, the executable file; and store, in the second memory, the second computer-readable instructions.

4 . The communication system of claim 1 , wherein the second computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one second processor, further cause the user communication device to block operation of applications different from the first application.

5 . The communication system of claim 1 , wherein the second computer-readable instructions, when executed by the at least one second processor, further cause the user communication device to send the pre-association request if the second communication interface does not detect any beacon frames.

6 . The communication system of claim 5 , wherein the beacon frames are associated with an International Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN) protocol.

7 . The communication system of claim 1 , wherein the user communication device comprises a fourth communication interface, wherein the second computer-readable instructions, when executed by the at least one second processor, further cause the user communication device to send the pre-association request when the user communication device is unable to access a communication network via the fourth communication interface.

8 . The communication system of claim 1 , wherein the first communication interface and the second communication interface are operable to transmit and receive signals in a 2.4 GHz frequency band.

9 . The communication system of claim 1 , wherein the modulation value is calculated based on authorization keys and further based on location information corresponding to the redirection router and identification information of the first application.

10 . The communication system of claim 9 , wherein the first computer-readable instructions, when executed by the at least one first processor, cause the redirection router to send the authentication indication if the modulation value is greater than or equal to ninety percent.

11 . A method of communication by a user communication device comprising at least one processor, a communication interface, and memory, with a redirection router, the method comprising:
sending, via the communication interface, a pre-association request, wherein the pre-association request indicates a query for available redirection routers; receiving, after sending the pre-association request and from the redirection router, an acknowledgement message; sending, to the redirection router and after receiving the acknowledgement message, authorization keys, wherein the authorization keys are associated with a first application installed on the user communication device; receiving, after sending the authorization keys, an authentication indication of the authorization keys; and sending, to the redirection router and based on the authentication indication, data associated with the first application, wherein the user communication device blocks transmission of any data not associated with the first application.

12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising, based on receiving the authentication indication, blocking operation of applications different from the first application.

13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the user communication device sends the pre-association request if the communication interface does not detect any beacon frames, wherein the beacon frames are associated with an International Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN) protocol.

14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the user communication device comprises another communication interface, wherein the user communication device sends the pre-association request when the user communication device is unable to access a communication network via the another communication interface.

15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the user communication device sends the pre-association request and the authorization keys in a 2.4 GHz frequency band.

16 . The method of claim 11 , wherein sending the authorization keys further comprises sending identification information corresponding to the first application.

17 . 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, s
