Network having wireless local area network and method for accessing terminal to wireless local area network

Abstract

The invention provides a network having a wireless local area network, which comprises a core network, an access network and a terminal. The access network comprises a wireless cellular network and a wireless local area network, wherein a plurality of wireless hot spots are arranged in the wireless local area network. The network further comprises a hot spot information map server which is connected to the core network. The invention further provides a method for accessing the terminal to the wireless local area network. The invention has the advantages that the terminal can acquire the hot spot information in the nearby wireless local area network due to the hot spot information map server arranged in the network so as to guide or attract user to perform the operations such as surfing the internet, downloading, and the like, after accessing the wireless local area network hot spot in the double covered area of wireless local area network and wireless cellular network, therefore efficiently decreasing the load and flow pressure on wireless cellular network equipment like base station. The invention further provides a method for accessing the terminal to the wireless local area network so as to provide various selection schemes to the terminal accessing.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a network with a wireless local area network and a method for a terminal to access the wireless local area network. Background technique [0002] With the accelerated deployment of 3G and even LTE wireless cellular networks by domestic mobile operators, the wireless coverage in densely populated urban areas has been relatively complete. China's urbanization and old city reconstruction will continue for quite a long period of time. The deviation between operators' original estimates of high wireless traffic areas and hotspot areas and existing urban construction will gradually increase, causing the original Wireless cellular coverage in hotspot areas is difficult to bear the increasing number of mobile user access and continuous growth in traffic access requirements, as well as the high-traffic access problems of emerging new population gathering places. Operators have bee...

Problems solved by technology

China's urbanization and old city reconstruction will continue for quite a long period of time, and the deviation between the operator's original estimation of high wireless traffic areas and hotspot areas and the existing urban construction will gradually increase, causing the original The wireless cellular coverage in hotspot areas is difficult to bear the increasing number of mobile user access and the continuous growth of traffic access requirements, as well as the high-traffic access problems of emerging new population gathering places

Operators have been working hard to select sites to build more base stations and other wireless cellular access network infrastructure. However, due to the difficulty of site selection for new wireless cellular sites and the limitation of high bandwidth costs of wireless cellular networks, densely populated Adding cellular wireless access equipment to regional or business hotspots is becoming increasingly difficult to implement
