SECONDARY INTERNET ACCESS FOR MOBILE DEVICES

Abstract:

In an approach for a secondary mobile internet access, a processor receives a request from a mobile device for a connection to a secondary wireless access point. A processor authorizes the connection request. A processor determines bandwidth associated with the mobile device. A processor adjusts bandwidth associated with the secondary wireless access point to include at least a sum of original bandwidth of the secondary wireless access point and the bandwidth associated with the mobile device to accommodate usage by the mobile device. A processor assigns temporary bandwidth to the mobile device based on the bandwidth associated with the mobile device. A processor executes a timer to a session associated with the authorized connection for the mobile device. A processor restores the original bandwidth of the secondary wireless access point upon detecting an end of the session.
