Method and system for processing location information

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a system for processing location information. The method includes using an RG (residential gateway) as an 802.1x client side to initiate an authentication request; and using an AN (access node) as an 802.1x authenticator and an RADIUS (remote authentication dial in user service) client side, inserting the location information of the RG in the received authentication request and transmitting the authentication request to an AAA (authentication authorization accounting) server to be used as reference for follow-up authentication. Owing to the technology for processing the location information, UE (user equipment) with the location information which passes authentication is not required to be subjected to authentication again in a follow-up communication procedure, repeated authentication for the UE is prevented, and a communication process is simplified. Besides, the location information of the RG is correlated while authentication is carried out, accordingly, the authentication safety can be further improved, and problems of illegal access and the like can be effectively avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a position information processing method and system. Background technique [0002] With the development of network technology and users' demands on services, the terminal devices in the home network are becoming more and more diversified and intelligent. Residential Gateway (RG), as a centralized intelligent interface, connects the home network with the external network, and provides connection, overall control and coordination for the home network. [0003] Currently, the Broadband Forum (BBF), an international standards organization, is working on the standardization of authentication of home gateways and home terminal equipment. The scenarios involved include the authentication process of home terminal equipment accessing the BBF network through the RG. As the 802.1x customer service terminal, the RG initiates access authentication to the AN (Access Node, access node). At th...

Problems solved by technology

According to the existing technology, the DHCP request initiated by the UE will fail in authentication and cannot access

This is obviously not conducive to the normal communication of UE

In addition, even if the location information of a certain user has been authenticated, the user may still need to re-authenticate in the subsequent communication process. This repeated authentication will inevitably complicate the UE communication process.
