Access control method, gateway and system

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides an access control method, a gateway and a system. The access control method comprises the following steps of: receiving an APN (Access Point Name) activation request sent by network equipment of a first access network, wherein the APN activation request comprises a UE (User Equipment) identifier, an APN and the type of the first access network; if the UE corresponding to the UE identifier activates the APN on a second access network, receiving or refusing the APN activation request according to activation configuration information, wherein the type of the second access network is different from the type of the first access network. The access control method provided by the embodiment of the invention can control the UE in the access networks with the different types simultaneously by using the same APN based on configuration activating information, and is conductive to controlling behaviors of the networks and the terminal.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of communication, in particular, an access control method, gateway and system. Background technique [0002] With the advancement of technology, mobile networks are constantly evolving and converging. The evolved packet core network (Evolved Packet Core Network, referred to as EPC) can also enable non-The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (The 3rd Generation Partnership Project, referred to as 3GPP ) access technology, such as wireless local area network (Wireless Local Area Network, WLAN for short) access. This is a trend of network evolution and convergence. [0003] Generally, the method for user equipment (User Equipment, referred to as UE) to access the EPC from a 3GPP access technology, such as Long Term Evolution (LTE for short) or Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA for short), is : The UE provides an Access Point Name (APN for short), the EPC selects a Packet D...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the process of implementing the present invention, the inventors found that there are at least the following problems in the prior art: when the UE has activated a certain APN in LTE / WCDMA, and the UE accesses from WLAN, the APN selected by the WLAN access gateway may be different from the APN that has already been activated. The APN activated in LTE / WCDMA is the same, making it difficult for operators to control network and terminal behavior, which is not conducive to operation
