A local wireless access system, method and local access gateway

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a local wireless access system, method and local access gateway, so as to reduce network deployment costs and improve cost performance when implementing local Internet service access. The local wireless access system includes: a wireless access device, configured to establish or reestablish a bearer on an air interface between a user equipment and the wireless access device, and transmit data with the user equipment through the bearer; local access The gateway is connected to the authentication device in the home core network and at least one of the wireless access devices, and is used to establish a bearer or tunnel for the user equipment with the wireless access device, and interact with the authentication device in the home core network Perform authentication on the user equipment. The local wireless access system provided by the embodiment of the present invention makes the networking of the local access architecture simple and efficient, and can reduce the cost of networking.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a local wireless access system, method and local access gateway. Background technique [0002] While high-speed, high-bandwidth services inject new vitality into mobile communications, they also bring more challenges to network operations. For example, the huge traffic caused by the business keeps the operating network in a high load state for a long time, and the expanded capacity will soon be consumed by the increased business. In order to solve the above problems, many operators deploy a large number of WiFi access points in some hotspots and indoors, hoping that these access points can divert the mobile Internet traffic generated by the user equipment under their coverage, reducing the pressure on the macro network. Although the rapid increase in traffic caused by the mobile Internet has been alleviated to a certain extent through the widespread deployment of WiFi access po...
