Abstract

An authentication system and method thereof for integrating heterogeneous network is provided. The authentication system triggers the heterogeneous network router when an external terminal device is located in a service covering range of the heterogeneous network router and the wireless router, and the authentication server is triggered to authenticate the terminal device when the terminal device has a heterogeneous network integration access condition, and after the authentication server finishes the authentication of the terminal device, the terminal device is ordered by the heterogeneous network router to communicate with the heterogeneous network router and the wireless router in the same time so as to perform the splitting operation of the telecommunication traffic. By the aforementioned operations, the system can provide the terminal device to access the mobile network and the wireless network in the same time, and promote the communication quality significantly.

Claims (18)

1. An authentication system for integrating heterogeneous network, comprising:

one or a plurality of wireless routers, used to provide a wireless network service for a connecting device;

a wireless gateway, connected with and configured with the wireless router;

a mobile network core system;

a heterogeneous network router, with customized function of error behavior handling, connected with the mobile network core system and the wireless router for asking Layer 2 address data of all connected users from the wireless router so as to provide a mobile network service for the connecting device; and

an authentication server, connected with the wireless gateway, the mobile network core system, and configured with the splitting operation between the wireless router and the heterogeneous network router;

wherein, when an external terminal device is located in a service covering range of the heterogeneous network router and the wireless router, the heterogeneous network router is triggered according to the Layer 2 address data to determine whether the terminal device has a heterogeneous network integration access condition or not, when the terminal device has a heterogeneous network integration access condition, the authentication server is triggered to authenticate the terminal device, and after the authentication server finishes the authentication of the terminal device, the terminal device is ordered by the heterogeneous network router to communicate with the heterogeneous network router and the wireless router in the same time so as to perform the splitting operation of the telecommunication traffic.

2. The authentication system according to claim 1 , wherein the authentication server inquiries whether the account of the terminal device subscribes a heterogeneous integrating service or not so as to perform the authentication operation.

3. The authentication system according to claim 1 , wherein the wireless gateway is used to control a data transmission operation or Internet Protocol (IP) assignment operation of the wireless router.

4. The authentication system according to claim 1 , wherein the heterogeneous network router and the wireless router perform the splitting operation of the downlink telecommunication traffic of the terminal device.

5. The authentication system according to claim 1 , wherein the heterogeneous network router further selects the wireless router which has better communication service to perform the splitting operation.

6. An authentication system for integrating heterogeneous network, comprising:

one or a plurality of wireless routers, used to provide a wireless network service for a connecting device;

a wireless gateway, connected with and configured with the wireless router;

a mobile network core system;

a heterogeneous network router, connected with the mobile network core system and the wireless router for asking Layer 2 address data of all connected users from the wireless router so as to provide a mobile network service for the connecting device; and

an authentication server, connected with the wireless gateway, the mobile network core system, and configured with the splitting operation between the wireless router and the heterogeneous network router;

wherein, when an external terminal device is located in a service covering range of the heterogeneous network router and the wireless router, the heterogeneous network router is triggered according to the Layer 2 address data to determine whether the terminal device has a heterogeneous network integration access condition or not, when the terminal device has a heterogeneous network integration access condition, the authentication server is triggered to authenticate the terminal device, and after the authentication server finishes the authentication of the terminal device, the terminal device is ordered by the heterogeneous network router to communicate with the heterogeneous network router and the wireless router in the same time so as to perform the splitting operation of the telecommunication traffic.
