An access authentication method, and access device

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses an access authentication method and access equipment, wherein the method comprises the steps that a wireless communication module of the access equipment receives an authentication request from terminal equipment in the covering range of the access equipment; the wireless communication module analyzes the authentication request, obtains authentication relevant information, and confirms whether the terminal equipment is allowed to access the access equipment or not according to the authentication relevant information; after confirming the condition that the terminal equipment is allowed to access the access equipment, the wireless communication module controls emitting equipment to reply an authentication confirming message to the terminal equipment. In the access control process, the awakening of a CPU (central processing unit) is not needed; the CPU doses not need to execute interruption processing, so that the CPU work is deployed into hardware with an intelligent function; on one hand, the load balancing is realized; on the other hand, the CPU interruption is reduced, so that the CPU load can be reduced; the power consumption of a radio frequency module can also be reduced; the system efficiency of the whole terminal equipment is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to an access authentication method and access equipment. Background technique [0002] Access authentication refers to the process that the network authenticates the user equipment when the terminal equipment accesses the network. An example is provided below: [0003] The terminal device searches for available wireless fidelity (WiFi) hotspots in the preset area, obtains available WiFi hotspots, and pushes available WiFi hotspots to the user; [0004] In response to the user's WiFi hotspot selection operation, identify the WiFi hotspot selected by the user; [0005] Obtain the authentication data of the WiFi hotspot selected by the user, adapt the WiFi hotspot portal (Portal) authentication protocol of the WiFi hotspot selected by the user, and log in to the WiFi hotspot Portal according to the adapted WiFi hotspot Portal authentication protocol and the authentication data...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] In the above process, the central processing unit (Central Processing Unit, CPU) controls the WiFi module running on the application processor (Application Processor, AP) to complete the authentication process. This process requires the interaction between the AP and the CPU, and the AP will initiate a large number of CPU Interruption, resulting in high CPU load and low overall system efficiency
