Wireless LAN Based GPRS Support Node

چکیده
This paper proposes WLAN-based GPRS Support Node (WGSN), a solution for integrating 3G and WLAN services. We show that the 3G mechanisms can be re-used for WLAN user authentication and network access without introducing new procedures and without modifying the existing 3G network components. We describe the WGSN features and show how they are designed and implemented. A WGSN prototype has been implemented in Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) and National Chiao-Tung University (NCTU) Joint Research Center.

VGSN: a gateway approach to interconnect UMTS/WLAN networks
High tier wireless systems such as GPRS and UMTS provide users high mobility but less bandwidth. On the other hand, low tier wireless systems such as Wireless LAN offer high bandwidth with less mobility. To support seamless roaming between heterogeneous wireless networks is regarded as one of the key issues in the future mobile communication system. The paper presents method and system for seam...
متن کاملIntegration of 3G Protocols into the Linux Kernel to Enable the Use of Generic Bearers
The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is widely deployed in second and third generation mobile cellular networks. Special benefits of GPRS are mobility management as well as support of authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA). However, the data rates of GPRS are low and the price is high, compared to wired networks or Wireless LAN. Furthermore, Wireless LAN hotspots are starting to...
