Abstract

See full text

A method of transferring a data session of a portable computing device from a cellular network and to a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) network is described. The method includes establishing a data session between a cellular network device and a portable computing device while the cellular network device is within a cellular communication region of the cellular network. Further, the method includes receiving a request to begin an advanced Wi-Fi authentication with one or more Wi-Fi access control nodes that provide Wi-Fi data communication coverage within a Wi-Fi coverage region of the Wi-Fi network. The Wi-Fi network coverage is within the cellular communication region. Further, the advanced Wi-Fi authentication includes authenticating the portable computing device with the Wi-Fi network during the data session with cellular network device before the portable computing device accesses the Wi-Fi network.
