Abstract

A mechanism of authenticating a communication device onto a radio access network via a private wireless gateway is described. This includes communicating with a communication device via a first wireless interface authentication information, a preferred roaming list (PRL), and an initial access value are obtained from the communication device. A first expected access value is determined based on rolling code data and a secret function. The PRL is authenticated when the first expected access value matches the initial access value. The communication device is proxied onto a radio access network via a second wireless interface. The proxying includes providing the authentication information and the PRL to a cell site attached to the radio access network.
