Abstract:
1. An access method, comprising: accessing, by a mobile intelligent access point, a network through at least two wireless technologies; establishing, by a User Equipment (UE), a connection with the mobile intelligent access point; and acquiring, by the UE, access authentication from the network through the mobile intelligent access point; wherein the step of acquiring, by the UE, access authentication from the network through the mobile intelligent access point comprises: sending, by the UE, a Hyper Text Transport Protocol (HTTP) request message to a Packet Data Network Gateway (P-GW) or a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) through the mobile intelligent access point; sending, by the P-GW or the GGSN, a user authentication page to the UE through the mobile intelligent access point when the P-GW or the GGSN confirms that an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the UE is not authenticated and the UE accesses the network through the mobile intelligent access point; and after a 3rd Generation Partnership Project Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (3GPP AAA) server verifies a user name and a password successfully, initiating, by a web portal server, challenge authentication to the P-GW or the GGSN, and acquiring, by the P-GW or the GGSN, charging information from the 3GPP AAA server; wherein the step of acquiring, by the UE, the access authentication from the network through the mobile intelligent access point comprises: sending, by the UE, an HTTP request message to the mobile intelligent access point; forwarding, by the mobile intelligent access point, the HTTP request message to the P-GW or the GGSN, wherein the HTTP request message includes an address and a Service Set Identifier (SSID) of the web portal server; confirming, by the P-GW or the GGSN, that the IP address of the UE is not authenticated and the UE accesses the network through the mobile intelligent access point; pushing, by the P-GW or the GGSN, an HTTP response including a user authentication page to the mobile intelligent access point; forwarding, by the mobile intelligent access point, the user authentication page to the UE; after a user inputs the user name and the password on the authentication page, sending an HTTP POST request to the web portal server through the mobile intelligent access point, and the P-GW or the GGSN, wherein the HTTP POST request includes the address of the web portal server, the user name and the password; initiating, by the web portal server, a user information request to the 3GPP AAA server; verifying, by the 3GPP AAA server, the user name and the password; after the user name and the password are verified successfully, sending, by the 3GPP AAA server, a user information request response message to the web portal server; initiating, by the web portal server, challenge authentication to the P-GW or the GGSN, and acquiring, by the P-GW or the GGSN, charging information from the 3GPP AAA server; and after the authentication is successful, sending, by the web portal server, an HTTP response including authentication success information to the UE through the P-GW or the GGSN, and the mobile intelligent access point; and performing, by the UE, a data service through the mobile intelligent access point.
