Information broadcast method for supporting terminal combined access, apparatus and system thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses an information broadcasting method, an information device and an information broadcasting system supporting the hybrid access of terminals. The method comprises: configuring different secure access mechanisms corresponding to different secure capacities of the terminals and secure mechanism identifiers corresponding to the secure access mechanisms in a network access pointentity; when the network access point entity transmits a broadcasting messages to the terminals, transmitting different broadcasting messages according to different secure access mechanisms, wherein the different broadcast messages carry the secure mechanism identifiers corresponding to the different secure access mechanisms. The method, the device and the system support the hybrid access of terminals with different secure capacities through one network access point, thereby reducing network investment and operation and maintenance costs.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication, in particular to an information broadcasting method, a device and a system supporting hybrid access of terminals. Background technique [0002] In a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network, wireless local area network) network, terminals with different security capabilities need to access the WLAN network. Terminals with different security capabilities adopt different security mechanisms when accessing the network. For example, for a terminal that can support a security authentication mechanism, a corresponding security mechanism needs to be used to access the terminal, and for a terminal that cannot support a security authentication mechanism, an open mechanism needs to be used to access the terminal. Usually, the access control for the terminal is implemented by the access point (Access Point, AP) entity, and the identity of the AP is identified by the SSID (Service Set Identifier, Serv...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the existing technology, different SSIDs are used to provide multiple secure access mechanisms, and different APs are used to realize mixed access of terminals supporting different security capabilities. The disadvantage is that if there are both secure users and For open users, at least 2 APs need to be set up by adopting the existing technical solutions, one for security users to enable security authentication mechanism, and the other for open users to enable open mechanism, so as to realize the simultaneous access of terminals with different security capabilities to the network

It can be seen that with this technical solution, multiple APs need to be set up, which increases network investment and operation and maintenance costs.
