The invention relates to a method and system for authenticating a user of a data transfer device (such as a terminal in a wireless local area network, i.e. WLAN). The method comprises: setting up a data transfer connection from the data transfer device to a service access point. Next, identification data of the mobile subscriber (for example an MSISDN) are inputted to the service access point. This is followed by checking from the mobile communications system whether the mobile subscriber identification data contains an access right to the service access point. If a valid access right exists, a password is generated, then transmitted to a subscriber terminal (for example a GSM mobile phone) corresponding to the mobile subscriber identification data, and login from the data transfer device to the service access point takes place with the password transmitted to the subscriber terminal.

A user terminal-based fast land-off method and the equipment; the user terminal establishes the neighboring group list, among which the possible neighboring access point is divided into one or more groups. As the land-off is needed, the user terminal alternatively carries out a plurality of detective sub-phases before disconnected as per the neighboring group list, while the existing service access point is not disconnected. During each detective sub-stage before disconnection, the active detection mode is used to detect the signal quality of the neighboring access point in a group. The user terminal selectively executes the land off according to the signal quality for the detected neighboring access point. Based on the overlapped channel scanning, the user terminal can obtain the neighboring access point-related information or on the strength of the neighboring access point-related information from the service access point, the neighboring group list can be established. The neighboring access points in the same group work on the same channel and during each detective sub-phase before disconnection, the single broadcasting detection request can be used to detect a group of the neighboring access points.

The invention is directed to providing pseudowire tunnel redundancy for VPLS and VLL services in the form of automatic protection switching of the service from a primary pseudowire tunnel to a backup pseudowire tunnel upon detection of a failure affecting the primary pseudowire tunnel. Embodiments of the invention monitor event notifications reported by a network management entity for an indication of a failure affecting the primary pseudowire tunnel; and responsive to detecting the indication, switch a service carried by the primary pseudowire tunnel to the backup pseudowire tunnel. Such event notifications include those corresponding to any of provider edge routers, interface ports, service access points, spokes, and tunnel endpoints that are related to operation of the primary pseudowire tunnel.
