APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING FULLY QUALIFIED DOMAIN NAME RESOLUTION FOR HOME NETWORK REALM BASED ON INTERNATIONAL MOBILE SUBSCRIBER IDENTITY

摘要

Various embodiments for providing fully qualified domain name (FDQN) resolution for a home network realm based on an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) are described. In one embodiment, a mobile computing device may be arranged to retrieve an IMSI including a Mobile Country Code (MCC) and a Mobile Network Code (MNC) and to derive an initial FQDN from the IMSI using an initial MNC rule. The mobile computing device may transmit an initial domain name system (DNS) request comprising the initial FQDN. The mobile computing device may be arranged to derive an alternate FQDN from the IMSI using an alternate MNC rule and to transmit a subsequent DNS request comprising the alternate FQDN when a DNS error message is received in response to the initial DNS request. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
