ACCESS CONTROL BASED ON RECEIPT OF MESSAGE FROM ACCESS TERMINAL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide access control techniques for enabling an access terminal to obtain service through an access point such as a femto cell.SOLUTION: A user of an access point 104 controls whether an access terminal 102 obtains service through the access point 104. A user may temporarily disable access control at an access point 104 to enable access terminals that register with the access point 104 while access control is disabled to thereafter be allowed to obtain service through the access point 104. A shared secret may be provided to an access terminal 102 and thereby, upon presenting the shared secret to the access point 104, the access terminal is allowed to obtain service through the access point.
