The document discusses various options for authorizing mobile users on service provider Wi-Fi networks. It describes how early approaches like EAP-SIM authentication reused cellular authentication but caused issues by deactivating active cellular connections. The Wi-Fi Alliance's Passpoint certification addresses this by allowing the same smartcard credentials for both cellular and Wi-Fi. The document then analyzes different 3GPP standardized methods—including MAP-RESTORE-DATA and the Wx interface—for authorizing users on Wi-Fi networks based on their cellular subscription profiles while avoiding disconnection issues. It concludes that while some options provide basic authorization, the Wx interface enables the most comprehensive and flexible Wi-Fi authorization information to be recovered.
