METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENABLING OPERATORS WITH UNUSED BANDWIDTH TO ACQUIRE USERS

摘要

A first access network (500) has a servicing element (525) for servicing a mobile station (105). A negotiation element (530) negotiates with a second access network (115) for a right for the second access network (115) to provide wireless service to the mobile station (105). The negotiation comprises sending an offer of a benefit from the second access network (115) to the first access network (500). A processor (505) accepts the offer of the benefit from the second access network (115) and transmits a first token (515) to the second access network (115).
