Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing fallback data services over a Wi-Fi network is described. A request to enable access to new data sessions for wireless terminals in a zone covered by a Wi-Fi network node is received upon failure of 3GPP radio in that zone. When a request for a new data session from a WT is received, the MAC address of the WT is added to a list of authorized users. The MAC address of the WT is sent to Wi-Fi network nodes of adjacent zones such that the WT can have continuous service as it moves between zones. When a Wi-Fi network node currently serving the WT receives an indication that the WT data session is terminated, a message is sent from the Wi-Fi network node currently serving the WT, to nodes of adjacent zones to remove the MAC address of the WT from the list of authorized users.
