Abstract:

Various implementations disclosed herein enable controlling access to networks. In various implementations, a method of controlling access to a network is performed by a computing device including one or more processors, and a non-transitory memory. In various implementations, the method includes obtaining an indication that a mobile device having access to a first network utilizing a first radio access technology (RAT) has requested access to a second network utilizing a second RAT. In some implementations, the method includes determining whether the access to the first network satisfies an authentication criterion associated with the second network. In some implementations, the method includes granting the mobile device access to the second network in response to determining that the access to the first network satisfies the authentication criterion associated with the second network. In some implementations, accessing the second network via the authentication criterion satisfies an operating threshold associated with the mobile device.
