Heterogeneous method and system of GSM/GPRS network and Wi-Fi network

Abstract

Provided is a heterogeneous method and system of a GSM / GPRS network and a Wi-Fi network. The method comprises the steps that a terminal sends access requests to a base station subsystem through the GSM / GPRS network, the base station subsystem receives the access requests and distributes network wireless resources to the terminal, wherein the network wireless resources comprise TBF resources and Wi-Fi wireless resources; the terminal receives the network wireless resources distributed by the base station subsystem, opens a Wi-Fi communication function, acquires the MAC addresses of the base station subsystem by monitoring the Beacon frames sent by the base station subsystem through the Wi-Fi, and sends Wi-Fi association request messages to the base station subsystem, wherein the Wi-Fi association request messages include the MAC address of the terminal; the base station subsystem completes the association with the Wi-Fi of the terminal according to the Wi-Fi association request messages, sends association response messages to the terminal, and the terminal carries out data transmission with the base station subsystem through the Wi-Fi. According to the heterogeneous method and system of the GSM / GPRS network and the Wi-Fi network, not only is the heterogeneous integration of the GSM / GPRS network and the Wi-Fi network achieved, and successive high speed data services are supplied for users, but also implementation and operation cost is low.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and system for heterogeneous wireless communication network fusion, in particular to a method and system for heterogeneous fusion of GSM / GPRS network and Wi-Fi network. Background technique [0002] The advantages of "wired" and "wireless" technologies complement each other and promote the convergence of fixed and mobile networks (FMC, Fixed-Mobile Convergence). FMC makes service provision independent from access technology and terminal equipment, that is, users can obtain the same service through different access networks. [0003] The existing GSM / GPRS (Global System for Mobile Communication, Global System for Mobile Communication / General Packet Radio Service, General Packet Radio Service) mobile communication network can provide wide-area coverage and support users' global roaming and fast movement, and can provide high-quality Voice communication service, but the data transmission rate is generally low. While Wi-...

Problems solved by technology

This heterogeneous network integration solution is not designed to provide high-speed data services, but mainly to solve the problem of handover between different communication networks, and most of them are only for hotspot coverage, and need to deploy different network infrastructures, including different Network elements, such as AP (Access Point, access point), GANC (GAN Controller, GAN controller), RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service, remote authentication dial-in user service), DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol, Dynamic host control protocol), etc., and different operation support systems (such as security center, operation and maintenance center, user database, billing server, etc.), the implementation of high operating costs
