Abstract
A device for providing downlink channel access for non-operator devices includes at least one processor circuit. The at least one processor circuit is configured to establish a local connection with an operator device that is serviced by a network operator. The at least one processor circuit is configured to provide, to the operator device over the local connection, a request to establish a connection to a network, the request comprising a destination address. The at least one processor circuit is configured to receive, from the operator device over the local connection, control information for reception of a downlink channel provisioned by the network operator for the operator device. The at least one processor circuit is configured to receive downlink data associated with the destination address on the downlink channel and provide, to the operator device, uplink data associated with the destination address for transmission to the network.
