摘要

It is disclosed a method and system for managing a mobile device entering a wireless coverage area of a home gateway connected to a WAN through a mobile communication network. As the mobile device connects to the home gateway via its wireless interface, the home gateway requests an on loading token for the mobile device to a management server cooperating with the mobile communication network. The management server releases the on loading token and sends it to the home gateway, that forwards it to the mobile device. As the mobile device receives the on loading token from the home gateway, in reply thereto it disconnects from the home gateway and starts exchanging mobile data traffic with the WAN through the mobile communication network using its mobile interface.
