Method and system for accessing wireless network into user residential gateway

Abstract

The invention discloses a system and a method for accessing a wireless network into a user residential gateway. The method comprises the following steps of: setting a network access control module and connecting an EVDO access functional unit, a wireless local area network (WLAN) hotspot access functional unit and a strategy database of the user residential gateway respectively; selecting to execute basic configuration strategies comprising WLAN access, EVDO access and hybrid access and invoking access strategies from the strategy database to access the wireless network; when the WLAN access strategy is selected, invoking the WLAN hotspot access functional unit after the user residential gateway starts, searching a default setting service set identifier (SSID) and trying to access WLAN; when the EVDO access strategy is selected, invoking the EVDO access functional unit after the user residential gateway starts, performing EVDO network dialing and trying to access an EVDO network; and when the hybrid access strategy is selected, selecting one network to access under the condition of detecting the coexistence of the WLAN network and the EVDO network.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of broadband access technology, in particular to a method and system for a user premises gateway to access a wireless network. Background technique [0002] At present, the customer resident gateway equipment is connected to the public Internet through a wired local area network (LAN, Local Area Network) or an asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL, Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line). With the development of wireless local area network (WLAN, Wireless Local Area Network) technology and 3G technology, the hotspots deployed in the existing network are becoming more and more common, and the coverage of 3G high-speed packet data (EVDO, High Rate Packet Data) network is getting wider and wider. Hotspots and 3G EVDO networks have gradually become effective supplements to wired access methods. In areas where wiring is inconvenient and wired network access conditions are not available, it will bring great convenie...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0009] 1) Gateway access to WLAN hotspots is actually to provide a broadband Internet access channel for connected devices. Various applications that interact with users run on PC terminals connected to the gateway. Users generally do not directly interact with the gateway. The WLAN access password acquisition method and network access authentication method participated by the user are no longer applicable

[0010] 2) Internet access passwords are generally set as temporary passwords, which must be obtained again each time the user accesses the Internet. It is more inconvenient to use if operated by the user in the gateway application mode

[0015] However, the existing wired access methods and WLAN hotspot access methods cannot meet the access requirements of the user's resident gateway, and mainly have the following disadvantages:

[0018] 3) The location where the user's resident gateway is placed in the actual application deployment will also change, and the existing access method lacks flexibility
