Abstract

When a terminal moves from a WLAN network to a cellular network after being allocated an IP address from a PDSN of the cellular network, a tightly coupled interworking method and apparatus between the cellular network and the WLAN network set up a temporary tunnel between the PDSN and an AGW of the WLAN network, and after completion of the handoff from the WLAN network to the cellular network, inform the PDSN of the handoff completion from the terminal, thereby enabling fast seamless handoff without data loss. Compared with the conventional tightly coupled scheme, the proposed tightly coupled scheme can prevent the need for processing cellular signals in the WLAN network because there is no need to transmit cellular signals in a WLAN interval, especially between the terminal and the AGW.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an interconnection method and device between heterogeneous networks. Specifically, the present invention relates to a tightly coupled interconnection method and device for allowing a terminal to switch to a WLAN network without changing components of the cellular network in an interconnection scheme using a cellular network and a wireless local area network (WLAN). Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the rise of WLAN services, business issues of interconnection between third generation (3G) cellular networks and WLAN networks are attracting widespread attention. During vertical switching in two heterogeneous networks, switching time and packet loss caused by switching are very important factors. Therefore, there is a need for an efficient interconnection scheme that minimizes switching time and packet loss. Furthermore, the required changes in existing systems and terminals required for interconnection between...
