Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A network component comprising at least one processor configured to implement a method comprising granting a user restricted access at a reduced rate without authenticating the user, attempting to authenticate the user, and granting the user unrestricted access at a full rate if the user authentication is successful. Included is a method comprising authenticating a user device, a user line, or both using a first communication, and authenticating a user using a second communication separate from the first communication. Also included is an apparatus comprising an access node (AN) configured to couple to an access network and communicate with a user equipment (UE) via the access network, wherein the UE is authenticated using either line authentication or device authentication based on the access network.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A network component comprising: a receiver; a transmitter; and at least one hardware processor coupled to the receiver and the transmitter, wherein the at least one hardware processor is configured to: receive, via the receiver, a message from a user device, wherein the user device has been authenticated using device authentication, line authentication, or both; grant a user of the user device restricted access at a reduced rate without authenticating…
