NO AUTHENTICATION METHOD IN HIGH-SPEED PORTABLE INTERNET

摘要

An authentication method for offering non-authentication in a portable Internet system is provided to offer a portable Internet service to a user by offering a non-authentication function if authentication is not required between an AT(Access Terminal) and an AP(Access Point) in the portable Internet system. The AP performs an initial wireless access procedure with the AT(S401). The AP receives the first authentication request message including an authentication policy supporting field value from the AT(S402). In case that wireless Internet service support is wanted without authenticating the AT, the AP transmits the first authentication response message setting the authentication policy supporting field value as a specific value to the AT(S404). If the first registration request message for promptly registering the AT without an authentication procedure is received from the AT, the AP sets the authentication policy supporting field value with the specific value for the non-authentication of the AT and transmits the second registration message setting a MAC(Media Access Control) address of the AT to a packet access router(S406).
