Abstract

An information handling system includes a wireless adapter that communicates with a network policy engine at a service provider to provide feedback on a network access policy of the service provider, an application processor that executes instructions of a context aware radio resource management system that determines one or more optimal wireless link options for communicating with a recipient user via a wireless link from among communication link options available from the service provider.

Claims (37)

1. An information handling system comprising:

a wireless adapter for communicating with a network policy engine at a service provider to transmit feedback on a network access policy of the service provider pursuant to instructions of an application processor;

the application processor executing instructions of a context aware radio resource management system for determining one or more optimal wireless link options for establishing communication between the information handling system and a recipient user via a wireless link from among communication link options available from the service provider by rating wireless link options from among a plurality of available service provider wireless links for communication between the information handling system and the recipient user, wherein the rating is based on a spatial-temporal radio frequency profile indicating signal quality for the service provider wireless link options between the information handling system and a recipient user and a user profile comprising wireless service usage trend data for a location of the information handling system; and

the application processor executing instructions of a network policy interface management system transmitting via the wireless adapter at least one service provider wireless link rating from among the rated service provider wireless links to the network policy engine at the service provider.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the context aware radio resource management system receives a crowd-sourced spatial-temporal radio frequency profile to determine a ranked list of service provider wireless links.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the network policy interface management system reports end to end service provider wireless link performance ratings for at least one service provider wireless link between the information handling system and the recipient user.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the application processor determines a rank of service provider wireless links based on anticipated radio link QoS for locations along a predicted future information handling system path.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the spatial-temporal radio frequency profile indicating signal quality further comprises end to end latency data for service provider wireless links available at the location.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the network policy interface management system reports mean opinion scores (MOS) of at least one service provider wireless link to the network policy engine of the service provider.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein network policy interface management system is further adapted to:

determine if a service provider wireless link is available in the location; and

select a highly-rated service provider wireless link ahead of alternative available service provider wireless links for communication with the recipient user.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the network policy engine of the service provider is a policy control enforcement function engine (PCEF).

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein in response to transmitting the at least one service provider wireless link rating, the application processor receives data from the network policy engine indicating a change in the network access policy.

10. A computer implemented method comprising:

communicating, via a wireless adapter at a mobile information handling system, with a network policy engine at a service provider to provide feedback on a network access policy of the service provider;

executing, via an application processor, instructions of a network policy interface management system for determining one or more optimal wireless link options for communicating between the mobile information handling system and a recipient user via a wireless link from among communication link options available from the service provider including:

rating the service provider wireless link options from among a plurality of available service provider wireless links for communication between the mobile information handling system and the recipient user, wherein the rating is based on a mobile broadband traffic report comprising a spatial-temporal radio frequency profile indicating signal quality for the service provider wireless link options between the information handling system and a recipient user and a user profile comprising wireless service usage trend data for a location of a first user information handling system; and

transmitting at least one service provider wireless link rating from among the rated service provider wireless links to the network policy engine at the service provider.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

reporting end to end service provider wireless link performance between the first user information handling system and the recipient user for at least one service provider wireless link.

12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

receiving data from the network policy engine of the service provider indicating a change in the network access policy priority in response to transmitting the at least one service provider wireless link rating.

13. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

selecting a highly-rated service provider wireless link for communication with the recipient user wherein the selection is further based a revision of the network access policy received from the network policy engine of the service provider.

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the spatial-temporal radio frequency profile indicating signal quality further comprises data indicating power consumption for wireless services across the wireless link.

15. A service provider gateway information handling system comprising:

an application processor executing instructions for a network policy engine to establish service provider network access policy including network connection priorities;

a control node for controlling access to one or more service provider wireless links via a network gateway;

a wireless adapter receiving an end to end service provider wireless link performance report for a plurality of service provider wireless links between a first user information handling system requesting access and a recipient user;

the application processor to re-prioritize the service provider network access policy regarding service provider wireless links available to the first user information handling system in a location;

wherein the end to end service provider wireless link performance report is based on a spatial-temporal radio frequency profiles indicating signal quality for the plurality of wireless links available between a first user information handling system requesting access and a recipient user and a spatial-temporal user profile comprising wireless service usage trend data for the first user information handling system at the location.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the end to end service provider wireless link performance report is further based on a crowd-sourced spatial-temporal radio frequency profile.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the end to end service provider wireless link performance report includes crowd sourced mean opinion score (MOS) data for available service provider wireless links.

18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the end to end service provider wireless link performance report includes a ranking of available service provider wireless links for the first user information handling system.

19. The system of claim 15 , wherein network policy engine of the service provider is a policy control enforcement function engine (PCEF).

20. The system of claim 15 , wherein network policy engine of the service provider elects not to re-prioritize the network access policy in response to receiving the end to end service provider wireless link performance report.
