A location information processing method and system

Abstract

Disclosed are a method and a system for processing location information. A residential gateway (RG), serving as an 802.1x client, initiates an authentication request (510). An access node (AN), serving as an 802.1x authenticator and a Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) client, inserts the location information of the RG in the received authentication request and sends the authentication request to an Authentication Authorization and Accounting (AAA) server (520) for reference by subsequent authentication. By means of the technology for processing location information of the present invention, a UE whose location information has passed the authentication does not need to be authenticated again during the subsequent communication process, so repeated authentication of the UE is avoided and the communication process is simplified. In addition, as the location information of an RG is associated at the same time during the authentication, the security of authentication is further enhanced, thereby better avoiding the problems such as illegal access.

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.
