摘要:
A public wireless LAN permits receipt of non-authentication traffic, such as access information requests, from a mobile wireless communications device prior to device authentication by partially opening a controlled port within an access point. The wireless LAN re-directs such non-authentication traffic received at the AP from the mobile wireless communications to a local web server. The local web server provides reply to the mobile wireless communications device, enabling a determination by the device whether or not to request access. The device seeks access by way of an access request received at the AP. In response, the AP re-directs the access request through an uncontrolled port in the AP to an access server that authenticates device. Upon successful device authentication, the AP fully opens its controlled port to permit the exchange of traffic through that port with the mobile wireless communications device.

A method of communication between a transmitter and a receiver over a channel is provided. The transmitter is capable of transmitting packets with multiple data rates, each of which adapts to a respective channel condition with regards to the performance of the communication. The method comprises the steps of at the level of the transmitter: upon detection of a disappearance of deterioration of the channel condition, transmitting packets with a data rate selected from a group of stable data rates that are stably used before the disappearance of the deterioration but larger than the last data rate before disappearance of the deterioration.

A wireless Local Area Network (LAN 11) capable of providing “enterprise guest” hosting includes at least one an e-open wireless LAN access point (15) that provides access to both guests and local users. Upon receipt of a request for access, the access point forwards the request to an authentication proxy. The authentication proxy then authenticates the party requesting access in accordance with that party's status (that is, whether the party is a local user or guest). Upon successful authentication, the network routes the traffic from a local user differently as compared to that for a guest. For example traffic from guests goes to gateway for receipt in an external network such as the Internet, whereas traffic from the local user goes to a local network, e.g., a corporate intranet. In this way, the Wireless LAN 11, after ascertaining the status of the party requesting access, can limit guest traffic according to the guest access policy.

Disclosed is a method of dynamical frequency selecting for a basic service set established by a main wireless device in a wireless local area network. The method comprises steps of a determining step for determining whether a new channel to be used by said BSS is needed; a scanning step conducted by said main wireless device for scanning all channels based on a random priority to detect whether other adjacent BSSs are existing and performing DFS concurrently; a measuring step conducted by said main wireless device based on the scanning result for existing operational BSSs for measuring channel quality of a plurality of channels; selecting one channel based on the channel quality parameters. The present invention advantageously provides a dynamic frequency selection method without any modification for the IEEE 802.11 standard, or any requirement for the implementation of the wireless stations.

A wireless Local Area Network provides data service through a data LAN and also provides video broadcast service through a video LAN. A wireless LAN subscriber accesses the video LAN through one of a plurality of Video Access Points (VAPs) that broadcast multiple video programs on a channel having a frequency different than the frequency over which the subscriber accesses the data LAN. Each VAP maintains the video channel in a one-way broadcast-only mode to prevent a wireless LAN subscriber from seeking to uplink information on that channel. In this way, the wireless LAN can employ a common protocol for both data and video transmission, and deliver the video streams at the maximum permissible downlink transmission rate.
摘要:
A method and a system for allowing a user device that has already been authenticated by a first communications network to gain access to a second communications network without undergoing authentication by the second communications network. The first communications network and the second communications network have a pre-established trust relationship there between. A packet is received from the user device that includes a user device public key, by the second network via the first network. A session key is sent from the second network to the user device, via the first network, when a source Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with the packet falls into a range allocated to the first network. The session key is encrypted with the user device public key. The user device decrypts the session key using a private key and uses the session key thereafter to access the second network. Further a mapping is generated to correlate the identity of the user device with the session key such that usage data relate to user device is generated by the second communications network and transmitted to the first communications network, which generates accounting information indicative of user device access of the second communications network.

The present invention relates to a server used to transmit Ethernet data signals from an Ethernet network to multiple cable TV network clients or receive Ethernet data signals from the multiple cable TV network clients, the server comprising multiple APs (access points), wherein the APs synchronously start a downlink transmission or an uplink transmission, and wherein during the downlink transmission the APs convert the Ethernet data signals into encoded and modulated RF signals and transmit the encoded and modulated RF signals to the multiple cable TV network clients, and during the uplink transmission the encoded and modulated RF signals from the cable TV network clients and convert the encoded and modulated RF signals into the Ethernet data signals.
摘要:
A system and method including computing keying information by a server for authentication of devices accessing a wireless local area network and forwarding the keying information by the server to access points included in a security domain of the wireless local area network, wherein one of the access points is associated with a mobile device are described.

There is provided a method for switching a mobile terminal from a first network interface to a second network interface in a local network environment. The method includes the step of utilizing a same Internet Protocol (IP) address by the mobile terminal for both the first network interface and the second network interface.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for managing a session key for allowing a mobile terminal to access a wireless local area network (WLAN). The invention provides for establishing a first secure channel between an access point and a virtual operator, and suggesting a session key to the virtual operator from the access point. A second secure channel is established between the virtual operator and a user, and the session key is sent to the user via the second secure channel upon successful user authentication. The mobile terminal accesses the WLAN using the session key.
