Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for providing interactive services to a device. For example, a method may include determining service authorization information for a device, the service authorization information being associated with an interactive service on a wireless network. The method may also include determining device policies for the device based on the service authorization information. The method may also include transmitting the device policies to the device, wherein the device policies cause the device to select a cloud rendering server for the interactive service.

Claims (43)

1. A method, comprising:

determining service authorization information for a device, the service authorization information being associated with an interactive service on a wireless network, wherein the service authorization information comprises at least one of: a list of cloud rendering server internet protocol (IP) addresses, priority per cloud rendering server, and validity criteria, wherein the validity criteria comprises at least one of service time, allowed service geographical areas, or user's consent agreement;

determining device policies for the device based on the service authorization information, wherein the device policies comprise the service authorization information; and

transmitting the device policies to the device, wherein the device policies enable the device to select a cloud rendering server for the interactive service.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the service authorization information further includes at least one of the following:

an application ID;

a list of allowed public land mobile networks (PLMNs);

a list of data network names (DNNs) per PLMN; or

a list of cloud rendering server IP addresses and port numbers per DNN and PLMN.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the device is configured to select a cloud rendering server with a highest priority that satisfies the validity criteria.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the service authorization information comprises determining the service authorization information using a device configuration update procedure.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising sending a request to a policy control function (PCF) to trigger the device configuration update procedure.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining an update to the service authorization information; and

transmitting the updated service authorization information to the device, wherein the updated service authorization information causes the device to select a different cloud rendering server for the interactive service.

7. An apparatus comprising:

radio front end circuitry;

a processor, coupled to the radio front end circuitry; and

a memory that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

determine service authorization information for a device, the service authorization information being associated with an interactive service on a wireless network, wherein the service authorization information comprises at least a list of cloud rendering server internet protocol (IP) addresses, priority per cloud rendering server, and validity criteria, wherein the validity criteria comprises at least one of service time, allowed service geographical areas, or user's consent agreement;

determine device policies for the device based on the service authorization information, wherein the device policies comprise the service authorization information; and

transmit, using the radio front end circuitry, the device policies to the device, wherein the device policies enable the device to select a cloud rendering server for the interactive service.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the service authorization information further includes at least one of the following:

an application ID;

a list of allowed public land mobile networks (PLMNs);

a list of data network names (DNNs) per PLMN; or

a list of cloud rendering server IP addresses and port numbers per DNN and PLMN.

9. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the device is configured to select a cloud rendering server with a highest priority that satisfies the validity criteria.

10. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein determining the service authorization information comprises determining the service authorization information using a device configuration update procedure.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to send a request to a policy control function (PCF) to trigger the device configuration update procedure.

12. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

determine an update to the service authorization information; and

transmit, using the radio front end circuitry, the updated service authorization information to the device, wherein the updated service authorization information causes the device to select a different cloud rendering server for the interactive service.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions to cause an electronic device, upon execution of the instructions by one or more processors of the electronic device, to perform one or more operations, the operations comprising:

determining service authorization information for a device, the service authorization information being associated with an interactive service on a wireless network, wherein the service authorization information comprises at least a list of cloud rendering server internet protocol (IP) addresses, priority per cloud rendering server, and validity criteria, wherein the validity criteria comprises at least one of service time, allowed service geographical areas, or user's consent agreement;

determining device policies for the device based on the service authorization information, wherein the device policies comprise the service authorization information; and

transmitting the device policies to the device, wherein the device policies enable the device to select a cloud rendering server for the interactive service.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the device is configured to select a cloud rendering server with a highest priority that satisfies the validity criteria.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein determining the service authorization information comprises determining the service authorization information using a device configuration update procedure.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , the operations further comprising sending a request to a policy control function (PCF) to trigger the device configuration update procedure.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , the operations further comprising:

determining an update to the service authorization information; and

transmitting the updated service authorization information to the device, wherein the updated service authorization information causes the device to select a different cloud rendering server for the interactive service.
