摘要:
Provided is a network equipment and an authentication and key management method for the same. The network equipment generates a Network Key (NK); the network equipment performs authentication protocol interaction with opposite communication equipment, and calculates a Basic Session Key (BSK) according to parameters for the authentication protocol interaction and the NK; and the network equipment calculates link Encryption Keys (EKs) used respectively for Media Access Control (MAC) and Physical (PHY) layers using various access technologies according to the BSK, and provides the EKs for respective MAC and PHY layer function modules. With the disclosure, the legality of the equipment is verified by performing an authentication process on the heterogeneous network equipments in one pass, and keys in various MAC layer technologies are managed in a unified way.

A data transmission method, multi-medium access point and multi-medium client are disclosed. The method includes: a multi-medium access point (AP) acquiring a current wireless local area network (WLAN) operating mode of an opposite end multi-medium client (Client) from the opposite end multi-medium Client; and the multi-medium AP comparing an address of a target device to which a data packet to be sent is sent with an address of the opposite end multi-medium Client, if the address of the target device to which the data packet to be sent is sent and the address of the opposite end multi-medium Client are different, judging whether both a current WLAN operating mode of the multi-medium AP and the current WLAN operating mode of the opposite end multi-medium Client are three-address modes or not, and if yes, determining that the data packet to be sent is prohibited from being sent through a wireless fidelity (WiFi) interface of the multi-medium AP. In the example of the present invention, the data packet is prohibited from being sent through the WiFi interface, but it can be sent through other interfaces such as power line communication (PLC), thus normal data communication between a mount device of the multi-medium Client and the multi-medium AP can be guaranteed.

A method, a device and a system for configuring maximum standby time of wireless local area network station are disclosed. The method includes the following steps that: an access point (AP) receives an association request or a re-association request sent from a wireless local area network station (STA); the AP judges whether or not the STA supports an extended values of a standard maximum idle period according to a preset flag in the association request or the re-association request received, wherein the standard maximum idle period is the maximum idle period defined in the 802.11v; if the STA fails to support the extended values, the AP configures the maximum idle period of the STA within the standard maximum idle period; and if the STA supports the extended values, the AP configures the maximum idle period of the STA within the standard maximum idle period or the extended values of the standard maximum idle period according to an instruction from an upper layer. The present invention enables an STA needing to stand by for a long time within associated with an AP for a longer time, thus preventing the STA from frequently sending a Keep-alive frame to the AP and consequentially saving the power consumption of the STA and prolonging the service life of the battery of the STA.
