Wireless network access method, authentication method and device

Abstract

The invention discloses a wireless network access method, an authentication method and a device. When the access point device is set to the shared work mode, the user name and password of the first mobile terminal are sent to the remote authentication server for authentication, and the wireless network service is provided for the first mobile terminal according to the result of the authentication; the access point device is set to In the exclusive working mode or shared working mode, the password of the second mobile terminal and the device identification of the access point device are sent to the remote authentication server for authentication, and the wireless network service is provided for the second mobile terminal according to the authentication result. By adopting different authentication and access methods for mobile terminals with different access rights, the sharing of wireless networks can be effectively realized, the utilization efficiency of wireless networks can be improved, and the overlapping coverage of wireless networks can be reduced indirectly.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to wireless communication technology, in particular to a wireless network access method, authentication method and device. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, wireless local area network (WLAN) is increasingly favored by people because of its low access cost, convenient access to the network, and excellent access speed. Each network operator attracts more mobile terminal users to use its wireless network by deploying a large number of wireless access point (AccessPoint, AP) devices. [0003] At present, a large number of enterprise broadband users and home broadband users are also building their own wireless LANs. Due to the small effective coverage of AP devices, when deploying wireless networks for different users, operators will deploy a certain number of AP devices accordingly to meet their corresponding coverage requirements, and different users apply for wir...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Correspondingly, for each network operator, it will cause repeated investment in coverage costs

At the same time, the wireless networks deployed by enterprises and home broadband users are not continuously occupied in most cases, and the currently widely used AP devices only support the local access authentication mode, and most of them are equipped with dedicated access keys and It does not provide wireless network sharing for other users without access rights, so the idle state of the wireless network is also a waste of wireless network resources to a certain extent, resulting in low utilization of wireless network resources

[0004] Therefore, the wireless network access method and AP equipment in the prior art inevitably have the problem of repeated coverage of the wireless network, and the utilization rate of the wireless network is low
