Mobile station, assess station, gateway device, base station and handshaking method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to a mobile station, an access station, a gateway device, a base station and a handshaking method thereof, which are used for a wireless network architecture. The network architecture comprises a first wireless network and a second wireless network. The first wireless network comprises the access station. The second wireless network comprises the gateway device and the base station. A secure channel is arranged between the access station and the gateway device. When being handshook to the second wireless network from the first wireless network, the mobile station can transmit a main conference key to the gateway device through the access station and the secure channel. Moreover, when being handshook to the first wireless network from the second wireless network, the mobile station can transmit the main conference key to the access station through the gateway device and the secure channel. Therefore, the identification time required by the handshaking between the first wireless network and the second wireless network can be effectively reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a mobile station, an access station, a base station, a gateway device and a handshake method suitable for a wireless network architecture. More specifically, the present invention relates to a mobile station, an access station, a base station, a gateway device and a handshake method applicable to a wireless network architecture including a WiMAX network and a WiFi network. Background technique [0002] With the advancement of science and technology, people have higher and higher requirements for communication. In addition to the requirements for communication quality, more and more attention is paid to the convenience of communication. Wireless communication has the advantages of no need for physical communication network wiring and high mobility. Therefore, in recent years, mobile products with wireless communication functions, such as mobile phones, notebook computers, etc., have become more and more popular among peo...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Specifically, when a mobile product is used in a WiMAX wireless network or a WiFi wireless network, it will be regarded as a client, and when the client wants to enter the WiMAX / WiFi wireless network to enjoy its services, it must first pass its authentication mechanism , to confirm that the client is a legal client. For example, when a client gradually leaves the signal range of the WiMAX wireless network and gradually enters the signal range of the WiFi wireless network, the signal of the WiMAX wireless network is gradually weakened for the client. , and the signal of the WiFi wireless network is gradually increasing, so in order to maintain a certain quality of wireless network use, the client will switch hands from the WiMAX wireless network to the WiFi wireless network, because both the WiMAX wireless network and the WiFi wireless network have their own requirements for the client. The authentication mechanism, so before the client changes hands to the WiFi wireless network, the authentication mechanism of the WiFi wireless network needs to be re-executed. This will greatly affect the time required for the client to change hands to the WiFi wireless network. When the network is changed to a WiMAX wireless network, the authentication mechanism of the WiMAX wireless network also needs to be re-executed. This will also greatly affect the time required for the client to change hands to the WiMAX wireless network, resulting in a decrease in the overall performance of the wireless network.
