US 2014/0177530 A1 · Access method and system and mobile intelligent access point

Abstract

An access method is disclosed. The method includes: a mobile intelligent access point is attached to a core network and acquires an address of a 3rd Generation Partnership Project Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (3GPP AAA) server of a User Equipment (UE) from the core network; the UE requests the mobile intelligent access point and the 3GPP AAA server selected by the mobile intelligent access point for the UE to perform an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) authentication on the UE; the UE initiates an access process to the mobile intelligent access point and acquires an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the UE; and the mobile intelligent access point selects a Packet Data Network Gateway (P-GW) for the UE and establishes an underlying access tunnel for the UE. Correspondingly, an access system and a mobile intelligent access point are further disclosed. With the disclosure, network authentication can be implemented to facilitate an operator to control the number of access users and to guarantee the network of the operator. Furthermore, a broadband mobile network is taken as a backhaul network, so as to reduce the reliability on a fixed network and improve the utilization of the broadband mobile network.

Dependent claims

An access method, comprising:

attaching a mobile intelligent access point to a core network, and acquiring, by the mobile intelligent access point, an address of a 3rd Generation Partnership Project Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (3GPP AAA) server of a User Equipment (UE) from the core network;
requesting, by the UE, the mobile intelligent access point and the 3GPP AAA server selected by the mobile intelligent access point for the UE to perform an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) authentication on the UE;
initiating, by the UE, an access process to the mobile intelligent access point and acquiring an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the UE;
and
selecting, by the mobile intelligent access point, a Packet Data Network Gateway (P-GW) for the UE and establishing an underlying access tunnel for the UE.
