Embodiment Construction

[0067] With unique advantages, wireless local area networks (Wireless Local Area Networks, WLAN) and mobile networks complement each other very well, and thus are more and more widely used in mobile networks. From foreign operators to domestic operators, they are constantly expanding and improving the intercommunication technology between mobile networks and WLANs. Simple and practical technology attracts users, diverts the current fast-growing mobile data services, relieves the pressure of mobile network resources during busy hours or serious shortages in busy areas, improves network service quality, and increases network user stickiness.

[0068] At present, a terminal (User Equipment, UE) first obtains authentication before it can access a Long Term Evolution (LTE) communication network, and then establishes one or more public data network (Public Data Network, PDN) through the LTE network. connection, when the UE finds a suitable WLAN network, it can start handover. That ...

Abstract

Communication equipment and an authentication method during a switching process from LTE to WLAN are disclosed. The method comprises the following steps of when a connection request indicating that a terminal requests for accessing an LTE network, and if an accessible WLAN network is determined to exist near the terminal, sending authentication vector information indicating to generate a WLAN network to HSS through a mobility management entity MME; through the MME, receiving identification information suitable for performing WLAN network authentication from the HSS; and sending the identification information suitable for performing the WLAN network authentication to the terminal. By using the above scheme, time of authentication during the switching process from the LTE to the WLAN can be shortened and a user experience is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a communication device and an authentication method during switching from LTE to WLAN. Background technique [0002] With unique advantages, wireless local area networks (Wireless Local Area Networks, WLAN) and mobile networks complement each other very well, and thus are more and more widely used in mobile networks. From foreign operators to domestic operators, they are constantly expanding and improving the intercommunication technology between mobile networks and WLANs. Simple and practical technology attracts users, diverts the current fast-growing mobile data services, relieves the pressure of mobile network resources during busy hours or serious shortages in busy areas, improves network service quality, and increases network user stickiness. [0003] At present, a terminal (User Equipment, UE) first obtains authentication before it can access a Long Term Evolution (LTE) c...
