An Authentication Network Oriented to Multiple Access Modes

Abstract

The invention relates to a certification network orienting to multiple access modes. The certification network orienting to multiple access modes comprises wired access equipment, wireless access equipment, access control equipment, a certification system and an internet, wherein the wired access equipment and the wireless access equipment are connected with the access control equipment; the access control equipment is connected with the certification system; and the certification system is connected with the internet. The certification network orienting to multiple access modes has reasonable design, provides a set of uniform AAA service through the certification system and can provide the AAA service for different users adopting different link technologies. On the basis of the common frame, different certification modules are invoked respectively according to different link layer technologies, so that access to multiple link layer technologies is realized. Convenience is brought to clients with different access modes, uniform charging is realized, flexibly combined charging strategies are provided for users among multiple services, and the cost of operators can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an authentication network oriented to multiple access modes, and belongs to the technical field of computer access authentication. Background technique [0002] From the perspective of technology and business development trends and the survival and development needs of fixed network operators, it is imperative for fixed network operators to enter the mobile communication field today. Fixed network operators should bundle broadband mobile wireless data services with broadband fixed network data services, and set up wireless base stations on existing fixed broadband IP networks to provide broadband mobile data services. IEEE is currently formulating standards for wireless local area network IEEE 802.11, wireless metropolitan area network IEEE 802.16, and wireless wide area network IEEE802.20, which can be combined with fixed broadband IP networks to provide broadband mobile data services, and will form a third-generation mobile c...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] ① The use of different authentication systems for different access technologies brings great inconvenience to users. Users and operators need to maintain multiple sets of user information, and users must use different user information when accessing the network through different access technologies; The authentication system cannot realize single billing, which will also lead to the loss of users (users can choose different operators for different access technologies)

[0005] ② The use of different authentication systems for different access technologies requires operators to deploy multiple sets of authentication systems, which will increase the equipment costs of operators; correspondingly, the maintenance of multiple authentication systems requires more network management personnel, which increases Reduced network management and maintenance costs for operators

[0006] ③ Due to the huge amount of user data due to system reasons, operators cannot conduct statistical analysis based on various services of users, which is not conducive to providing users with flexible combination of billing strategies among various services

The problem dealt with by this method is not comprehensive enough, and the related billing problem is not mentioned, so there are certain defects
