COMMUNICATION METHOD, BASE STATION, ACCESS POINT AND SYSTEM

摘要

A communication method, a base station, an access point and a system are provided in embodiments of the present invention. The communication method of the present invention comprises: obtaining an Internet Protocol (IP) address of a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) Access Point (AP); establishing a route on an Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) security tunnel according to the IP address of the WiFi AP, and generating a corresponding Access Control List (ACL) rule; receiving data packets transmitted by the WiFi AP through an interface shared with the WiFi AP; encrypting the data packets according to the IPSec protocol, and forwarding the encrypted data packets in the secure IPSec tunnel according to the route on the IPSec tunnel and the ACL rule. The embodiments of the present invention unify the security mechanism of the WiFi network security and the security mechanism of the BTS network, simplify the security network solution of the communication system, and reduce construction costs.
