Method, device and system for machine type communication (mtc) terminal communicating with network through gateway

Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for a Machine Type Communication (MTC) terminal accessing a network through an MTC gateway, the method includes that: the MTC gateway accesses the network as a user equipment, establishes a communication connection with a server used for authentication authorization in the network, cooperates with the server used for authentication authorization to authenticate the accessed MTC terminal, and according to the authentication result determines whether to establish the communication connection between the MTC terminal and the network. The embodiments of the present invention also disclose the corresponding MTC gateway and communication system. By using the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, equipments in the network can identify the accessed MTC terminal through the authentication process, then according to the authentication result determine whether to establish the communication connection between the MTC terminal and the network, thus can control whether the special MTC terminal is allowed to communicate with the network.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a method, device and system for an MTC terminal to communicate with a network through an MTC gateway. Background technique [0002] Machine Type Communications (MTC) refers to the network communication between one or more network elements without human participation, such as traffic control and management, remote meter reading, remote monitoring, mobile payment, Location tracking, medical monitoring and other applications. [0003] The wide application of MTC has led to a rapid increase in the number of wireless communication terminals. For this reason, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) introduced the MTC Gateway (Gateway, GW) equipment. Equipment, UE) to access the 3GPP network, then the MTC terminal (Device) can access the 3GPP network through the MTC gateway. Such as figure 1 As shown, the MTC terminal and the MTC gateway are connected through a n...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

For the operator network, the MTC gateway can be seen to communicate with the outside through the operator network, but the MTC terminal connected to the MTC gateway is invisible

Therefore, as long as the MTC gateway successfully accesses the operator's network, any MTC terminal can access the operator's network through the MTC gateway to perform services, and the operator cannot control whether to allow a specific MTC terminal to access the network. The contracted MTC terminal can also conduct business through the MTC gateway
