A method, apparatus and system for resource allocation in redirection of data traffic are provided. The method includes receiving a message including a subscription identification, position information associated with the subscription and an action proposal associated with the subscription (), selecting at least one local area network based at least in part on the position information (), mapping the at least one local area network to a local area network server (), ensuring a valid unique task identification for the subscription in the local area network server, and sending an off-loading indication message including the action proposal, the valid task identification and an identifier of the local area network server to the subscription ().

Method, apparatus and system for redirecting data traffic

A method and apparatus for redirecting data traffic are provided. The method includes receiving a service request from a first device, allocating resources for the service, associating the resources with a first unique identifier, confirming the service request with the first device, receiving a connection request from a second device including the first unique identifier and an authentication certificate, passing the authentication certificate to the first device, and receiving an authentication confirmation from the first device. The method further includes, in response to receiving the authentication confirmation, accepting the connection request from the second device, providing an indication regarding at least one local area network to the second device, and providing required credentials associated with the at least one local area network to the second device.

Method and apparatus for redirecting data traffic

A method of connecting an access point to other network elements in a wireless telecommunication system having at least one access point offering wireless connections, and at least one fixed network part, includes storing data on an IC card for connecting at least one access point to a functional connection with the fixed network part. The IC card is connected to a functional connection with the access point when the access point is to be connected to the fixed network part. Necessary resources of the fixed network part are connected to a functional connection with the access point on the basis of said stored data. As a precondition for the connection, the IC card's rights to use the resources of the fixed network part can be checked in the fixed network part.
