Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus, a method, a system, and a computer program product related to trusted WLAN networks (TWAN). More particularly, the present invention relates to an apparatus, a method, a system, and a computer program product for discovering, requesting and setting-up additional PDN Connections over TWANs.
  • TWAN trusted WLAN networks
  • WLAN Wireless LAN The present application is related to the use of a WLAN network as Trusted WLAN Network (TWAN), more specifically to the solution specified for Trusted WLAN Access without UE impact (SaMOG_wlan) in section 16 of 3GPP TS 23.402 for Rel-1 1 (version 1 1 .5.0) and to the ongoing Rel-12 3GPP SA2 study documented in section 8 of TR 23.852.
  • the S2a interface provides the user plane with related control and mobility support between trusted non 3GPP I P access (such as TWAN) and the PDN Gateway.
  • S2a may be based on Proxy Mobile I P (PMI P) or General Tunneling Protocol (GTP).
  • PMI P Proxy Mobile I P
  • GTP General Tunneling Protocol
  • Rel-1 1 specifications for trusted WLAN access enable the use of TWANs to access EPC with legacy U Es. Due to the lack of mechanism how the UE can send 3GPP specific parameters (e.g. requested APN and HO indication) to the EPC network via WLAN, the Rel-1 1 solutions has limitations, e.g., no handover with I P address preservation is supported, and only a single PDN connection to the default APN is possible. In order to remove these limitations a study is ongoing in 3GPP SA2. An important aspect of the work is to standardize a mechanism how a UE can send 3GPP specific parameters (e.g. requested APN and HO indication) to the EPC network via WLAN to enable handovers with I P address preservation, and multiple PDN connections for UEs.
  • 3GPP specific parameters e.g. requested APN and HO indication

  • TWAN trusted WLAN
  • the UE During the EAP-AKA authentication the UE becomes aware of the services offered by the trusted WLAN network, e.g. whether NSWO is supported, whether a single and/or multiple concurrent PDN connections are supported, etc. This can be accomplished by defining 3GPP-specific EAP-AKA attributes.
  • NSWO traffic comprises traffic not traversing the EPC, and is not considered any further in the present application.
  • the UE uses the normal PPPoE procedures to discover the TWAG and to establish a new PPPoE session with the TWAG.
  • the UE initiates the establishment of a PPP session according to the normal PPP procedures. Note that after the LCP negotiation, there is no need to perform a PAP/CHAP or any other authentication, since the UE is already authenticated. Even when the UE sends a PPP authentication request the TWAG should always accept it.
  • Fig. 1 it is assumed that during the IPCP configuration a new IPCP configuration option is used. This allows the UE to request a specific APN, attach type, etc. and allows the TWAG to respond with an offered APN and possibly other parameters.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé consistant à déclencher un établissement (S50) d'un point terminal d'une session PPPoE avec un dispositif de service identifié par un nom de point d'accès (APN) sélectionné par le biais d'un réseau de commutation par paquets si un message d'offre de découverte (PADO) et/ou un message de confirmation de session (PADS) comprennent l'APN sélectionné par le réseau de commutation par paquets; et une première et/ou deuxième et/ou troisième combinaison, la première combinaison comprenant une initiation de découverte (S10) et une vérification d'offre (S20); la deuxième combinaison comprenant l'initiation de découverte et une vérification de confirmation; et la troisième combinaison comprenant une demande de découverte et la vérification de confirmation; l'initiation de découverte faisant appel à une diffusion d'un message d'initiation de découverte (PADI) dans le réseau de commutation par paquets, le message PADI comprenant un APN demandé ou un caractère de remplacement; la demande de découverte comprenant la fourniture d'un message de demande de découverte (PADR) au réseau de commutation par paquets, le message PADR comprenant le nom de point d'accès demandé ou le caractère de remplacement; la vérification d'offre comprenant la vérification du fait que le message PADO reçu en réponse au message PADI comprend l'APN sélectionné; et la vérification de confirmation comprenant la vérification du fait qu'un message PADS respectivement reçu en réponse au message PADR et/ou basé sur le message PADI comprend l'APN sélectionné. Lors de l'établissement de session (S50), des messages de découverte active PPPoE, qui peuvent contenir un ou plusieurs indicateurs, sont utilisés pour échanger des paramètres spécifiques 3GPP entre une entité d'utilisateur (UE) et une passerelle d'accès à un WLAN de confiance (TWAG). Au moyen du procédé, le réseau peut démarrer plus tôt la création d'un tunnel GTP/PMIP sur une interface S2a, ce qui peut avoir pour conséquence une création de connexion PDN plus rapide.
