Abstract
enterprises that adopt BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) need to optimize network selection for refundable employees’ business usage. They can ‘force-on-net’ business sessions when employees are on-site and seek ‘best connection’ when employees are off-site, perhaps via hospitality partners that provide WiFi connectivity. For non-fundable, unproductive personal usage, service requests should be ‘forced-off-net’ and deferred back to the personal carriers. To achieve this, we propose that the Enterprise decides whether to accept or change the originating access network, having established the funding status via the eBC (enterprise Business Context) model. For each service request, the Enterprise evaluates QoE and Affordability vectors that are derived from prioritized STANDS and CART factors respectively and the results are used to select the optimal access network. An enterprise Access Discovery and Selection Function (eANDSF) is proposed to enable recommending preferred corporate hospitality partners to employees, instead of the carrier’s list.
