System and method for radius accounting for wireless communication networks

摘要

An authentication server includes a first link connected to an authenticator associated with a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and a second link connected to a gateway associated with a mobile network such as a GPRS network. The authentication server also includes a mapping system having instructions for receiving one or more first messages from the authenticator, the first messages being of a first type associated with the WLAN but not the mobile network, such as a RADIUS message. The mapping system also includes instructions for generating a first group of one or more call detail records from the received first messages, the call detail records being of a second type associated with the mobile network, and sending the first group of call detail records to the gateway.
