Patent ID: 11902780

Abstract:
A communication system authorizes a User Equipment (UE) for a wireless data service and a media-conferencing service. A network core receives UE authentication data from the UE that is based on a secret key. The network core determines network authentication data for the UE that is also based on the secret key. The network core authorizes the UE for the wireless data service based on the UE authentication data and the network authentication data. The network core transfers the network authentication data for the UE to a media-conferencing server in response to the authorization of the UE for the wireless data service. The media-conferencing server receives other UE authentication data from the UE that is based on the secret key. The media-conferencing server authorizes the UE for the media-conferencing service based on the other UE authentication data from the UE and the network authentication data from the network core.
