Abstract
A security gateway system offloads cellular data from user equipment (“UE”). The system receives a dynamic host configuration protocol (“DHCP”) message from a Wi-Fi access point (“AP”) in communication with the UE. The system converts the DHCP message into an authentication, authorization and accounting (“AAA”) access request and sends the AAA access request to an AAA server. The system receives an AAA access accept from the AAA server and initiates a gateway general packet radio service tunneling protocol tunnel setup with a setup node.
Claims20
A computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to offload cellular data from a user equipment (UE), the offloading comprising:
- receiving a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) message from a Wi-Fi access point (AP) in communication with the UE;
- converting the DHCP message into an authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) access request and sending the AAA access request to an AAA server;
- receiving an AAA access accept from the AAA server;
- and
- initiating a gateway general packet radio service (GPRS) tunneling protocol (GTP) tunnel setup with a GPRS setup node (GGSN).
A method of offloading cellular data from a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- receiving a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) message from a Wi-Fi access point (AP) in communication with the UE;
- converting the DHCP message into an authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) access request and sending the AAA access request to an AAA server;
- receiving an AAA access accept from the AAA server;
- and
- initiating a gateway general packet radio service (GPRS) tunneling protocol (GTP) tunnel setup with a GPRS setup node (GGSN).
A security gateway system coupled to a Wi-Fi access point (AP), the system comprising:
- a processor;
- a storage device coupled to the processor storing a Wi-Fi offload module that, when executed by the processor, offloads cellular data from a user equipment (UE) in communication with the AP, the offloading comprising:
- receiving a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) message from the AP;
- converting the DHCP message into an authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) access request and sending the AAA access request to an AAA server;
- receiving an AAA access accept from the AAA server;
- and
- initiating a gateway general packet radio service (GPRS) tunneling protocol (GTP) tunnel setup with a GPRS setup node (GGSN).
