整合无线局域网络及第三代的无线端点 Integrated wireless local area network and third generations of wireless endpoints
(1)技术领域本实用新型有关无线通讯领域，尤其是关于无线局域网络(WLAN)及蜂巢网络的整合。 (1) Field of the utility model for wireless communications, particularly with regard to wireless local area network (WLAN) and cellular network integration.
(2)背景技术现今，双模式装置已经展望至支持经由一广泛不同的无线存取技术的互联网存取，该目标是提供全面性的覆盖范围以及不管使利用何种无线存取技术的无接缝连通性。 (2) Background Art Nowadays, dual-mode devices have Outlook to support through a wide variety of wireless access to the Internet access technology, the objective is to provide a comprehensive coverage and no matter what the use of wireless access technologies without access seam connectivity.
图1所示为一传统双模式移动终端系统100，其是包含一双模式移动终端105，「双模式」所指的两种模式是以IEEE 802.11编译的网络以及以一或多种第三代(3G)标准编译的网络。 Figure 1 shows a conventional dual mode mobile terminal system 100, which is a mode mobile terminal 105 includes one pair of &dual-mode& refers to the two modes based on IEEE 802.11 compiled in one or more networks and third generation ( 3G) network standard compilation. 该双模式移动终端105与互联网110通信是经由(1)一个IEEE 802.11存取点/路由器设备115，其是通过一IEEE 802.11空气界面，或(2)一个3G全球地面无线存取网络(UTRAN)基地台120，其是通过一3G空气界面。 The dual-mode mobile communication terminal 105 and the Internet 110 is transmitted by (1) a IEEE 802.11 access point / router equipment 115, which is passed through an IEEE 802.11 air interface, or (2) a 3G global terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN) the base station 120, which is via a 3G air interface.
一个结合此类传统系统100的困难度在于，因为建筑差异的关系，并没有一个普遍的控制实体以管理介于IEEE 802.11和3G无线网络之间的实体交递程序，这导致了在每个网络之间的交递控制功能具有复杂的结合。 A combination of the traditional system 100 such difficulty is that because of differences in the relationship building, and not a common control entities to manage between IEEE 802.11 and 3G wireless network handover between the entities, which resulted in each network a handover control function between the complex combination. 举例来说，传输从IEEE802.11网络至3G网络的无线连接所需求的协调和逻辑明显地与传输从3G网络至IEEE 802.11网络所需求的不同，注意在此处的交递机制亦可视作蜂巢式的重新选择或是重新连结。 For example, the transmission from the IEEE802.11 wireless network to the 3G network connection needs coordination and logic apparently transferred from the 3G network with IEEE 802.11 networks to different needs, pay attention here in the handover mechanism also be considered Cellular re-selection or re-link. 所需要的便是一个系统和方法以无接缝地和简单地简易化介于两个不同无线存取技术之间的无线连通性。 Needed is a system and method to seamlessly and simply between facilitation between two different wireless access technologies of wireless connectivity.
另一个问题是802.11存取装置需要从具有专用地面中继线的802.11存取点服务至互联网，当802.11存取点不存在时，互联网服务就不提供802.11存取装置，由于802.11存取点通常不预备提供全面性的覆盖范围，移动用户常常已经进入互联网服务。 Another problem is that 802.11 access devices require a dedicated ground from 802.11 trunk services to the Internet access point, when the access point does not exist, 802.11, 802.11 access Internet services do not provide apparatus, since the access point is usually not ready 802.11 provides comprehensive coverage, mobile users often have access to the Internet services. 此外，专用地面联机对于提供802.11存取点在某种程度部署方面的互联网连通性的设定和维护是很昂贵的，在这种情形下，一种地面联机的改变就是必须的。 In addition, dedicated ground line 802.11 access point for providing some degree of Internet connectivity deployment settings and maintenance are very expensive, and in this case A ground line change is required.

图2所示为一系统150，其包含一整合的IEEE 802.11终端130(此后称为终端130)，该终端130包含一IEEE 802.11存取点(AP)/路由器132(此后称作AP 132)及一3G无线传送/接收单元(WTRU)134(此后称作WTRU 134)，其是经由一界面136互相连接。 Figure 2 shows a system 150, which includes an integrated IEEE 802.11 terminal 130 a (hereinafter referred to as terminal 130), the terminal 130 includes an IEEE 802.11 Access Point (AP) / router 132 (hereinafter referred to as AP 132), and a 3G wireless transmit / receive unit (WTRU) 134 (hereinafter referred to WTRU 134), which is connected to each other via a interface 136. 该终端130是经由一3G空气界面140与一3GUTRAN 138(此后称作UTRAN 138)连接，且经由一IEEE 802.11空气界面144与一IEEE 802.11 WLAN存取装置142(此后称作存取装置142)连接。 The terminal 130 is via a 3G air interface 140 with an 3GUTRAN 138 (hereinafter referred to as UTRAN 138) connection and via a IEEE 802.11 air interface 144 with an IEEE 802.11 WLAN access device 142 (hereinafter referred to as access device 142) connected to .

实质上，系统150采用连续而非并列使用两种界面，例如WLAN AP及3G使用者设备。 In essence, the system 150 using a continuous rather than using two parallel interfaces, such WLAN AP and 3G user equipment. 此简化了整合，因每一空气界面皆为逻辑独立(亦即不需要一普遍控制实体)且因此不会受另一个影响(亦即每一空气界面流动如同另一空气界面不存在似的)。 This simplifies the integration, because each air interface are logically independent (ie not a common controlled entity) and therefore is not affected by another effect (ie for each air flow as another air interface interface nonexistent) . 举例来说，并不需要协调介于每一无线存取技术间(例如IEEE802.11至3G，反之亦然)的交递。 For example, does not need to coordinate between each wireless access technologies room (e.g. IEEE802.11 to 3G, or vice versa) handover. 通过3G空气140界面的交递显然地可能被移至IEEE 802.11空气界面144，至于一整合的AP 132/WTRU 134，一WLAN连接建立，其可动态地导致该3G联机被建立及/或分派实体资源。 Through the 3G air interface 140 may be a handover apparently moved to IEEE 802.11 air interface 144, as an integrated AP 132/WTRU 134, a WLAN connection is established, it can result in the 3G connection dynamically be created and / or distributed entities resources.

ID(BSSID)(就是MACID)和一SSID正常对应一ESS的一部份中的一群存取点。 Access device generates a link demand (AR) contains a basic service ID (BSSID) (that is MACID) and one corresponding to an ESS, SSID normal part of a group of access points. 每一AP响应一结合的反应包含一在那AP中是特有的连结ID(就是逻辑连接ID)。 Each AP in response to a binding reaction comprises a unique in that the AP is a link ID (that is logical connection ID).
存取装置142藉由标准IEEE 802.11主动或被动扫瞄方法实现端点130。 Access device 142 via the standard IEEE 802.11 active or passive scanning method endpoint 130. 当使用被动扫瞄，存取装置142从一或多个APs接收一或多信标传送。 When using passive scanning, the access device 142 receives from one or more APs send one or more beacons. 一信标信道识别某些形式的系统信息，如存取点的BSSID和SSID。 A beacon channel identified some form of system information, such as the access point BSSID and SSID. 当使用主动扫瞄，一安全层次被提供由于AP的SSID不在信标频道传送信号。 When using active scanning, a level of security is provided because the AP's SSID beacon channel is not transmitted signal. 存取装置142产生一探索要求识别一AP的预订SSID。 Access device 142 generates a discovery request identifying a reservation AP SSID. 接收探索要求的APs使用一探索响应确认接收当他们有预订的SSID。 Receive explore requested APs using a discovery response acknowledges receipt when they have booked SSID.
有关本实用新型的操作端点130有许多替代的例子。 For the operation of the utility model end 130 there are many alternative examples. 在一替代的例子中，动态配置被实行，标准IEEE 802.11逻辑(例如连结，再连结，分离)被使用建立或释放3G连结。 In an alternative example, the dynamic configuration is implemented, the standard IEEE 802.11 logic (e.g. link, then the link separation) is used to establish or release the 3G connection. 在另一个替代例子，3G连结进一步(就是持续地)建立动态或永久配置实体资源之一。 In another alternative example, 3G connection further (that is ongoing) to create dynamic or permanent configuration of physical resources.
如同之后的详细叙述，当一移动装置使用者旅行在一覆盖IEEE 802.11WLAN的区域，提供某种服务如互联网的专用地面终止，端点130提供互联网的存取。 As described in detail later, when a mobile device users traveling in an area covered by IEEE 802.11WLAN provide some services such as the Internet dedicated ground termination endpoint 130 to provide Internet access. 存取装置142将自动再连结端点130不需要任何自订的软件或硬件。 Access device 142 will automatically re-connect endpoint 130 does not require any custom software or hardware. 替代的，存取装置142可能永远使用端点130，因此消除提供一或多IEEE 802.11的专用地面终止APs的需要。 Alternatively, the access device 142 may never use endpoint 130, thus eliminating one or more IEEE 802.11 provides a dedicated ground termination APs needs.
