Abstract
Media Access Control (MAC) address randomization is managed at the network level. An association request having a MAC address of a user equipment (UE) and a Globally Unique Wi-Fi Device Temporary Identifier (GUWDTI) parameter is received. A MAC policy to apply to the UE based the MAC address in the association request is determined based on the MAC address in the association request or based on the GUWDTI parameter that references the MAC policy in a MAC policy database. A Wi-Fi Device Temporary Identifier (WDTI) for identifying the UE in a current network realm is returned to the UE in an association response. The MAC policy database enables the integrity of network policies and services across networks to be maintained.
