1000x Capacity Increase: Needed
Exponential growth in mobile data utilization
5B cumulative smartphone sales estimated for 2012 - 2016
Average traffic per smartphone nearly tripled in 2011
- 150 MB/Mo, versus
55 MB/Mo in 2010
Over the past five years, AT&T’s wireless data traffic has grown

 Number of antennas limited by device size
 Spectrum limited by availability, government policy
 Interference mitigation difficult, can only go so far
 Only big lever is to substantially reduce cell size
 But cellular deployment models/economics make increasing the
number of base stations by 32x expensive and slow

Why Wi-Fi?
The capacity is needed, the clients are there
The number of devices connected to IP networks will be twice as high as the
global population in 2015, up from one networked device per capita in 2010.

SSID 4
Current Approach:
• Device scan for SSIDs
• End user has to associate with SSID to
discover the service in the SSID
• End user launches web browser and
enters URL to get web service
PAGE 10
SSID 3

SSID 4
802.11u Approach:
• Device scans for service (not SSID)
• Prompts end-user or auto launches service
• End-user clicks on prompt, automatically
associates with SSID, and seamlessly
launches a web service
What’s Required to Implement 802.11u
 The AP needs a “service advertiser”
 The client device needs a “service launcher”

Problem Statement
 Service
Provider Wi-Fi is currently not easy to use (manual intervention
required) and confusing
 Web page redirection creates ease of use problem
 Absence
 Hotspot
of a standardized mechanism for connection establishment
network connectivity ≠ Network service
 Inconsistent
and limited security (local access and authentication
mechanism)
 No
indication that a session has expired – network access is suddenly
lost

Release 2: late 2013
Release 3: 2014/15
Hotspot 2.0 Procedure
 Discovery: The mobile device is scanning for APs with which to associate and
for related information useful for network selection
 HS 2.0 enables an STA to discover usable APs based on Hotspot Operator Friendly
Name, Roaming Consortium list, Venue name, NAI Realm list, Domain Name list,
3GPP Cellular Network information
 Additional performance related information is available eg., BSS load, Backhaul
capacity , WAN Metrics, Connection Capability, Online Signup providers list, etc.
 Registration: The mobile device is setting up a new account with an SP or
hotspot provider. If the mobile device already has valid credentials for a given
hotspot, this state is short-lived.
 Provisioning: The Wi-Fi infrastructure is establishing credential information
and providing policy information to the mobile device. If the mobile device
already has valid credentials for a given hotspot, this state is short-lived.
 Security schemes available are WPA2 Enterprise, EAP-SIM, EAP-AKA, EAP-TLS,
EAP-TTLS
 Access: The mobile device has successfully associated and authenticated with
the hotspot and can access the services for which the user has subscribed.

 Roaming Consortium
 Indicates roaming consortium or SSP (i.e. operator) whose security credentials can be used to authenticate with the AP
 Domain Name List
 Domain Name of the entity operating the 802.11 network
 Values include: On-line enrollment supported, HTTP/S redirection
 Operator Friendly Name
 Wi-Fi client can request a list of all the mobile operators' names that are allowed to automatically
connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot. If your operator's name is on the list, your device will proceed with
connection decisions
 WAN Metrics
 Provides information on the speed of the WAN connection to the Internet.
 Connection Capability
 Provides connection status of the most commonly used communications protocols and ports.
 Network Access Identifier (NAI) Home Realm Query
 Used by the STA to determine if the NAI realms for which it has security credentials are realms
corresponding to SPs or other entities whose networks or services are accessible via this BSS.
(Which service providers can I connect to here?)
 Hotspot (HS) Query List
 Provided by STA to AP
 Carries identifiers of ANQP elements for which the mobile is querying the AP
 Hotspot (HS) Capability List
 Provides list of information configured in AP back to the mobile device

Interworking Element (includes HESSID and Venue Information)
Advertisement Protocol Element (Indicates ANQP)
Roaming Consortium Element(A list of roaming consortium identifier)
The Hotspot 2.0 Indication element
Hotspot 2.0 capable STAs scan for networks and discover an AP advertising Hotspot 2.0
capability.
Hotspot 2.0 capable STA uses ANQP to the AP to determine properties of the Hotspot 2.0 Access
Network. The Hotspot capable STA selects the ANQP query elements it requires to query the
Hotspot 2.0 network for Interworking Service information.
GAS Initial Request Frame( Advertisement Protocol = ANQP;
ANQP Query = {Venue Name, Network Auth, Roaming Consortium, IP Address Type, NAI Realm, 3GPP Cellular
information, Domain Name; Operator Friendly Name, WAN Metrics, Connection Capability} )
GAS Initial Response Frame( Advertisement Protocol = ANQP;
Venue Name; Network Auth; Roaming Consortium; IP Address Type; NAI Realm; 3GPP Cellular information;
Domain Name; Operator Friendly Name,; WAN Metrics; Connection Capability)
Hotspot 2.0 capable STA evaluates the response based on its Hotspot 2.0 subscription
information and associated policy and choose to associate to the AP.
NOTE SSID is not necessary to make the network selection.
