International Classification:

H04W 76/02

US Classification:

370338

Abstract:

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. A multi-radio device controls wireless communications by identifying one or more connection points between radio(s) of the multi-radio device and an operating system executing on a host device, analyzing a policy relating to the multi-radio device, and exposing, to the operating system, a subset of the connection points based on the policy. A modem manages a connection to an applications processor (AP) by virtualizing physical communication interfaces at the modem, providing a single Internet protocol (IP) interface representing the virtualized physical communication interfaces to a high level operating system (HLOS) at the AP, detecting a physical communication interface connected to the modem, and determining whether to expose the detected physical communication interface to the HLOS as a standalone virtualized physical communication interface, or hide the detected physical communication interface as part of an existing virtualized physical communication interface.

Abstract:

This disclosure provide systems, devices, apparatus and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for providing service connectivity to a service of a service provider via a wireless local area network (WLAN). Several service connectivity techniques are described. In some implementations, a first wireless device may establish a communication link with the AP to access the service. In some implementations, the first wireless device may be an internet of things (IoT) device, and may be a headless IoT device. The communication link may be established without the wireless device joining a Basic Service Set (BSS) of an access point (AP). The service connectivity may be implemented using broadcast services between an AP and the wireless device. The broadcast services may be used for uplink broadcast traffic from the wireless device to a service provider via the AP. The service connectivity techniques may support onboarding and security features.
