Overview
• Users/operators have requirements on hotspot behaviour– User: ease-of-use, low cost– Operator: control of user behaviour, flexible
charging models, incremental deployment• These requirements impact hotspot
operation– May be necessary to support new features– Where and how should these be provided

Implications
• To support new user signup:– Secure anonymous access
• Co-existence of RSN and pre-RSN?
– Advertisement of support for this capability– Transfer of operator disclaimer information?
• Limited network access:– Configuration of authorisation policy within
AP– Graceful disconnect of users

Implications
• To support network selection:– Need to advertise network capability or characteristics
e.g. cheapest, 3G interworking, free “local services”
• Identity selection:– Advertisement of set of operators associated with the
hotspot
• Differential accounting:– Dynamic update of charging model per subscriber

Implications
• To support network selection:– Need to advertise network capability e.g. bit rates, cost
• Admission control:– Co-ordinate admission control decision with
authorisation information for that user– Other network admission control decisions
• Traffic enforcement and policing:– Verify source of traffic and traffic behaviour
