Abstract
A method at a protocol translation entity. The method includes receiving, from a Non-3GPP access point, an authentication request message of a first protocol type for a UE that includes an identity of the UE. The method also includes translating the authentication request message of the first protocol type to a corresponding authentication request message of a second protocol type and transmitting to an entity for authentication the corresponding authentication request message of a second protocol type that includes the identity of the UE.
Claims22
A method performed by a protocol translation entity, the method comprising:
- receiving from a Non-3rd Generation Partnership Project (Non-3GPP) access point a first authentication request message conforming to first protocol and comprising a subscription identifier;
- using the first authentication request message, which conforms to the the first protocol, to create a second authentication request message conforming to a second protocol, wherein the second authentication request message comprises the subscription identifier;
- and
- transmitting the second authentication request message to an entity.
A protocol translation entity, comprising:
- memory;
- and
- processing circuitry, wherein the protocol translation entity is operable to perform a method comprising:
- receiving from a Non-3rd Generation Partnership Project (Non-3GPP) access point a first authentication request message conforming to first protocol and comprising a subscription identifier;
- using the first authentication request message, which conforms to the the first protocol, to create a second authentication request message conforming to a second protocol, wherein the second authentication request message comprises the subscription identifier;
- and
- transmitting the second authentication request message to an entity.
A method performed by a Non-3rd Generation Partnership Project (Non-3GPP) access point, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a request message for access authentication comprising a concealed subscription identifier;
- and
- transmitting, to a protocol translation entity, an authentication request message conforming to a first protocol and comprising the concealed subscription identifier.
