The wireless communication base station apparatus 100 may be a femtocell base station or a wireless LAN base station, for example, and the present invention does not depend on the communication method.

  Radio section 160 converts radio signals received from radio terminal station apparatus 400 and radio terminal station apparatus 401 into data such as communication data and outputs the data to communication control section 150, and data received from communication control section 150 Is converted into a radio signal and transmitted to the radio terminal station device 400 and the radio terminal station device 401.

  The communication control unit 150 controls the operation of the own device, and determines at least whether the wireless terminal station device 400 or the wireless terminal station device 401 is permitted to connect to the own device. The determination as to whether or not the wireless terminal station device 400 or the wireless terminal station device 401 is permitted to connect to the own device is performed, for example, by authenticating the wireless terminal station device 400 or the wireless terminal station device 401.

  The communication control unit 150 distinguishes the data received from the wireless unit 160 into communication data and other data, and outputs the communication data to the communication I / F 110. For other data, such as data necessary for determining whether or not the wireless terminal station device 400 or the wireless terminal station device 401 is allowed to connect to the own device, the communication control unit 150 itself controls the operation of the own device. Data used for control.

  The communication data is distinguished from other data by, for example, providing a data type field in the data. The wireless terminal station devices 400 and 401 enter the data type in the field and convert it to a wireless signal for transmission. The wireless signal is converted into data by the wireless unit 160, and the communication control unit 150 that has received the data refers to the field indicating the data type, and outputs the communication data to the communication I / F 110 if it is communication data. Or you may distinguish by using a radio signal from which a frequency etc. differ.

  The communication control unit 150 outputs the communication data received from the communication I / F 110 to the wireless unit 160.

The data storage unit 130 is a memory that stores a maximum of N pieces of configuration data. The configuration data is data for the communication control unit 150 to control the operation of the own device, and at least a method for determining whether or not the wireless terminal station devices 400 and 401 are permitted to connect to the own device. Contains the prescribed data.
The data storage unit 130 stores one or more configuration data (first configuration data) indicating that a connection is permitted only to a wireless terminal station device that satisfies a predetermined condition.
The open data storage unit 210 is a read-only memory, and stores configuration data (second configuration data) indicating that connection is permitted to all the wireless terminal station devices 400 and 401.

Upon receiving an instruction from the data setting I / F 120, the reference data unit 140 reads and stores one of the designated data from the configuration data in the data storage unit 130 or the open data storage unit 210, and the communication control unit 150 is a condition for permitting connection.
The storage is performed, for example, by copying the contents of the read configuration data to a memory dedicated to the reference data section.

The data setting I / F 120 rewrites the data stored in the data storage unit 130 in accordance with the input of the administrator of the own device.
Further, the data setting I / F 120 selects and stores the configuration data stored in the open data storage unit 210 from the setting instruction server 310 according to the input of the administrator of the own device or stored in the reference data unit 140. The configuration data to be stored is designated as a release instruction for the reference data unit 140 in accordance with a power instruction (hereinafter referred to as “release instruction”).

Communication I / F 110 transmits and receives data to and from network 300. The communication I / F 110 distinguishes data received from the network 300 into communication data and control data. The communication data is output to the wireless unit 160 through the communication control unit 150, and the control data is output to the data setting I / F 120.
The communication data and the control data are distinguished from each other by, for example, providing a data type field in the data. A data transmission side such as a setting instruction server enters the data type in the field and transmits the data. Upon receiving this, the communication I / F 110 refers to the field indicating the data type, and if it is communication data, outputs it to the radio unit 160 through the communication control unit 150, and if it is control data, outputs it to the data setting I / F 120. .

The setting instruction server 310 selects a radio communication base station apparatus 100 to be instructed to release when a release instruction is necessary (hereinafter simply referred to as “when necessary”), such as when a disaster occurs, and the wireless communication base Control data for opening instructions is transmitted to the station apparatus 100.
The case where a release instruction is required occurs when a predetermined event occurs, for example, because a wireless communication base station device to which a certain wireless terminal station device is permitted to connect cannot be used. When there is a need to connect to a wireless communication base station device, when there is a public need to secure communication means, or for other carriers to maintain services to subscribers There may be a case where a station device is desired to be used.
As a case where a public need to secure communication means arises, for example, a disaster such as an earthquake occurs. On the other hand, as a case where a telecommunications carrier or the like wants to use another wireless communication base station device in order to maintain a service to a contractor, for example, a case where a so-called mobile phone base station stops functioning due to a failure can be mentioned. . Note that there is a clear distinction between the case where the public need to secure communication means arises and the case where a telecommunications carrier or the like wants to use another wireless communication base station device in order to maintain the service to the contractor. For example, if people are crowded in a small area such as a station due to train delays, and the mobile phone base station runs out of capacity due to the use of mobile phones by these people, this applies to both cases. It is.

  The database server 320 stores an installation location of the radio communication base station apparatus 100 and an address on the network of the radio communication base station apparatus 100 (hereinafter simply referred to as “address”) in association with each other.

  The wireless terminal station device 400 and the wireless terminal station device 401 are wireless terminal station devices having a function of communicating with the wireless communication base station device 100.

FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an example of configuration data.
The common key authentication configuration data D1 includes a field indicating an authentication method and a field indicating a key value used for authentication. In the field representing the authentication method, “both” representing common key authentication is entered. The field representing the key value used for authentication contains the key value K.
The open authentication configuration data D2 includes only a field indicating an authentication method. The field representing the authentication method contains “o” representing open authentication.

  The common key authentication is one of methods for checking whether or not the predetermined conditions satisfying predetermined conditions necessary for the wireless terminal station devices 400 and 401 to connect to the wireless communication base station device 100 are satisfied. As a certain condition, the wireless terminal station devices 400 and 401 request that the wireless communication base station device 100 have a common encryption key K.

3, when the reference data unit 140 stores the configuration data D1 illustrated in FIG. 2, and the communication control unit 150 performs common key authentication using the key K, the wireless terminal station device 400 performs wireless communication. It is a sequence diagram which shows the operation example in the case of succeeding in receiving the authentication by the communication base station apparatus 100.
When the wireless terminal station device 400 wants to receive authentication of the wireless communication base station device 100, first, a probe request for checking whether communication is possible is transmitted to the wireless communication base station device 100 (Sa1).
In the radio communication base station apparatus 100, the communication control unit 150 performs transmission / reception with the radio terminal station apparatus 400 via the radio unit 160. When the communication control unit 150 receives the probe request, the communication control unit 150 refers to the authentication method of the configuration data D1 stored in the reference data unit 140, and obtains “common” representing common key authentication (Sa2).

When the communication control unit 150 obtains “common”, the communication control unit 150 enters a mode for performing common key authentication, and returns a probe response to the wireless terminal station device 400 to indicate that communication is possible (Sa3). When receiving the probe response, the wireless terminal station device 400 transmits an authentication request (Sa4).
Upon receiving the authentication request, the communication control unit 150 returns an authentication response with a random number (challenge) (Sa5). Further, the communication control unit 150 refers to the reference data unit 140 to obtain the key value K (Sa6).

The wireless terminal station device 400 encrypts the received challenge using the key K and returns it as an authentication response (Sa7).
The communication control unit 150 decrypts the authentication response received from the wireless terminal station device 400 using the key K, and determines whether or not the decrypted result has the same value as the sent challenge. When it is determined that the values are the same, the communication control unit 150 recognizes that the counterpart wireless terminal station device 400 is a wireless station terminal station device having the key K, and indicates an authentication response indicating successful authentication. Is returned (Sa8).
As described above, the wireless terminal station device 400 succeeds in receiving authentication by the wireless communication base station device 100.

If there is no response such as the sequence Sa4 or Sa7 from the wireless terminal station devices 400 and 401, or if the decrypted result has a value different from the challenge, authentication fails.
Since the wireless terminal station device 400 having the key K can return a correct response, authentication is successful and connection to the wireless communication base station device 100 is permitted. On the other hand, since the wireless terminal station device 401 that does not have the key K cannot return a correct response, authentication fails, and connection to the wireless communication base station device 100 is not permitted.

When open authentication is used, the radio communication base station apparatus 100 makes the authentication successful for authentication requests from all the radio terminal station apparatuses 400 and 401 regardless of the presence or absence of the key K.
Accordingly, all the wireless terminal station devices 400 and 401 are successfully authenticated, and connection to the wireless communication base station device 100 is permitted.

4, when the reference data unit 140 stores the configuration data D2 illustrated in FIG. 2 and the communication control unit 150 performs open authentication, the wireless terminal station device 401 that does not have the key K performs wireless communication. 4 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of an operation that succeeds in connection with the base station apparatus 100. FIG. In FIG. 4, the same sequences as those in FIG.
When the wireless terminal station device 401 wants to receive authentication of the wireless communication base station device 100, first, a probe request for checking whether or not communication is possible is transmitted to the wireless communication base station device 100 (Sa1).
In the radio communication base station apparatus 100, the communication control unit 150 performs transmission / reception with the radio terminal station apparatus 401 via the radio unit 160. When the communication control unit 150 receives the probe request, the communication control unit 150 refers to the authentication method of the configuration data D2 stored in the reference data unit 140, and obtains “o” representing open authentication (Sa9).

When the communication control unit 150 obtains “o”, the communication control unit 150 enters a mode for performing common key authentication, and returns a probe response to the wireless terminal station device 401 to indicate that communication is possible (Sa3). Upon receiving the probe response, the wireless terminal station device 401 transmits an authentication request (Sa4).
Upon receiving the authentication request, the communication control unit 150 returns an authentication response indicating that the authentication has succeeded unconditionally (Sa8).
As described above, the wireless terminal station device 401 succeeds in receiving authentication from the wireless communication base station device 100 regardless of whether or not it has the key K.

  For example, the configuration data stored in the data storage unit 130 is rewritten from a setting terminal connected to the data setting I / F 120. When the common key authentication is selected on the setting terminal and the key value K and the configuration data number i are input, these data are transferred to the data setting I / F and stored on the data storage unit 130. The i-th configuration data is rewritten to the configuration data indicating the common key authentication and the key value K. Note that the open data storage unit 210 is a read-only memory, and configuration data cannot be rewritten.

  When the configuration data number i is input on the setting terminal, the data setting I / F 120 outputs the configuration data number i to the reference data management unit 140. The reference data management unit 140 stores the i-th configuration data of the data storage unit 130 (the open data storage unit when i = N + 1).

  When necessary, the configuration data stored in the reference data unit 140 is also changed when the radio communication base station apparatus 100 receives the release instruction transmitted from the setting instruction server 310.

FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of an operation in which configuration data stored in the reference data unit 140 is changed when necessary.
When the setting instruction server 310 detects that a certain event described above has occurred, a situation where an opening instruction is necessary (hereinafter referred to as “necessary situation”), and a place where the situation has occurred, the setting instruction server 310 stores the database of the database server 320. Referring to the location and address of each wireless communication base station device 100 (Sb1). The setting instruction server 310 selects the radio communication base station apparatus 100 to which the release instruction is to be transmitted based on the location where the necessary situation has occurred and the installation location of each radio communication base station apparatus.

Here, the occurrence of the necessary situation and the detection of the place where it occurred are performed by receiving, for example, a radio (such as an earthquake early warning that notifies the epicenter) that notifies the location of the disaster when a disaster occurs. Alternatively, information that the so-called mobile phone base station has stopped functioning due to a disaster or failure, or that the mobile phone base station has run out of capacity due to the concentration of mobile phone users, You may receive from an automatic detection apparatus or a maintenance inspector etc. with the information of installation location of.
In addition, the selection of the radio communication base station apparatus 100 that should transmit the release instruction is performed, for example, when the data server 320 stores the latitude / longitude as the installation location of the radio communication base station apparatus 100, and the disaster occurrence location is The distance from the disaster occurrence location to each radio communication base station apparatus 100 is calculated from the latitude and longitude of each radio communication base station apparatus 100 received in longitude and stored in the database server 320, and this distance is determined in advance. This is done by selecting the radio communication base station apparatus 100 that is within a certain value. Alternatively, the database server 320 stores an address including a prefecture name and a city name as the installation location of the wireless communication base station 100, receives the disaster occurrence location by address, and stores each location stored in the database server 320. Compared with the address of the radio communication base station apparatus 100, the radio communication base station apparatus 100 in the same municipality as the disaster occurrence place may be selected.

  The setting instruction server 310 uses the address of each radio communication base station apparatus 100 obtained by referring to the database server 320 to the radio communication base station apparatus 100 selected as a target to be instructed to be released. The control data is transmitted (Sb2).

When the release instruction reaches the wireless communication base station apparatus 100 via the network 300, the communication I / F 110 receives the release instruction. Since the release instruction is control data, the communication I / F 110 outputs the release instruction to the data setting I / F 120 (Sb3). When receiving the release instruction, the data setting I / F 120 outputs the number N + 1 indicating the configuration data of the release data storage unit 210 to the reference data unit 140 (Sb4).
When the reference data unit 140 receives the number N + 1, the reference data unit 140 reads and stores the configuration data stored in the open data storage unit 210 and set so that the communication control unit 150 performs open authentication (Sb5).

  As described above, since the setting of the radio communication base station apparatus 100 can be changed when necessary, it is allowed to connect only to a specific radio terminal station apparatus during normal times to maintain security, and to all radio terminal station apparatuses when necessary. It is possible to use the communication equipment effectively by permitting the connection.

  In the present embodiment, it has been described that it is determined whether to permit connection to the wireless terminal station devices 400 and 401 using authentication. However, the present invention does not depend on the determination method. Other determination methods may be used, such as permitting connection to the wireless terminal station devices 400 and 401 that have transmitted the probe request with a specific cipher.
