Description

  The present invention detects a wireless LAN terminal that has entered a radio base station reachable range and controls the wireless LAN terminal to be connectable to a wireless LAN provided with a transmitting / receiving device with the wireless base station. The present invention relates to a base station apparatus and a wireless LAN terminal apparatus.

  In a wireless LAN system, a wireless LAN base station exists on one LAN (Local Area Network) protocol network, and a wireless LAN terminal that communicates with the same wireless LAN base station is connected to the wireless LAN base station. It is possible to connect only to the wireless LAN. The wireless LAN base station has one wireless interface and one LAN interface, and exchanges the wireless protocol and the LAN protocol by allowing both communications to pass through transparently. For this reason, the interface is 1: 1, and one radio frequency band is connected to one LAN.

When a wireless LAN terminal connects to a wireless LAN via a wireless LAN base station, the wireless LAN terminal itself obtains configuration information such as a network address of the wireless LAN to be connected (or participates) in advance. Is set inside, and the connection with the wireless LAN base station and the connection with the wireless LAN are performed. Further, the authentication process for permitting the use of the resources on the wireless LAN is performed between the wireless LAN terminal and the authentication device installed on the wireless LAN after the connection to the wireless LAN is performed. This is performed over a LAN protocol such as TCP / IP, and only authentication is performed after basic communication is possible.
As a related art related to the present invention, there is one disclosed in Patent Document 1 below.

In the present invention, a wireless LAN base station 101 with a built-in antenna or externally connected, a plurality of LANs 102A to 102C accommodated in this single wireless LAN base station 101, and whether to allow participation in these LANs 102A to 102C The authentication server 103 for authenticating the above and a plurality of wireless LAN terminals 104A and 104B that enable communication with the wireless LAN base station 101 that controls connection to the LANs 102A to 102C. The plurality of LANs 102 </ b> A to 102 </ b> C are connected to transmission / reception devices 105 </ b> A to 105 </ b> C that communicate with the wireless LAN base station 101 through a wireless line. By connecting the transmission / reception devices 105A to 105C, the LANs 102A to 102C are added with a function as a wireless LAN using the same frequency band in the same area.

  On the other hand, the wireless LAN base station 101 detects the wireless LAN terminals 104A and 104B that have entered the radio wave reach of the local station 101, acquires authentication information from the detected wireless LAN terminals 104A104B via a wireless line, and acquires the acquired information. If the authentication information is transferred to the authentication server 102 via a wireless or wired line, an authentication process for determining whether or not to permit connection to the LANs 102A to 102C is executed, and an authentication OK response is obtained, the configuration of the LANs 102A to 102C Information is transmitted to the LAN terminals 104A and 104B. The LAN terminals 104A and 104B that have received the configuration information of the LANs 102A to 102C register the configuration information in the memory in their own devices, refer to the registered content, and issue a connection request to one of the LANs 102A to 102C to perform communication. To do.

  Wireless tags (wireless parts) 106A and 106B in which authentication information for connecting to the LANs 102A to 102C is registered are attached to a part of the housing of the wireless LAN terminals 104A and 104B. The authentication information registered in the wireless tags 106A and 106B is returned to the wireless LAN base station 101 in response to an inquiry signal from the wireless LAN base station 101. The wireless tags 106A and 106B incorporate a non-directional antenna, a battery, and an LSI memory, and return registered authentication information as a response signal in response to an inquiry signal from the wireless LAN base station 101.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a detailed configuration example of the wireless LAN terminal 104A.
The wireless LAN terminal 104A includes an arithmetic processing unit 1042 that processes and analyzes data communicated with the transmission / reception antenna 1041 for performing communication with the wireless LAN base station 101. A wireless tag 106A is provided in a part of the casing. It is attached. In the arithmetic processing unit 1042, a LAN configuration information setting area 1043 for holding configuration information for connecting to the LANs 102A to 102C transmitted from the wireless LAN base station 1011 is secured in the memory.
The information set in the LAN configuration information setting area 1043 holds configuration information that enables connection to the LANs 102A to 102C in addition to the configuration information for wireless connection. Generally, TCP / IP is used, and information such as an IP address, a network address, a gateway address, and various server addresses is the contents of the LAN configuration information.

On the other hand, the authentication information registered in the wireless tag 106A is authentication information for participating in the LANs 102A to 102C, and is composed at least of a unique identifier and password for identifying the own device 104A.
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a detailed configuration example of the wireless LAN base station 101. The wireless LAN base station 101 has not only wireless communication between the wireless LAN terminal and the LAN, which is a function of the conventional base station, but also functions of intrusion monitoring of the wireless LAN terminal, authentication processing before connection, and exchange of communication between LANs. .

The wireless LAN base station 101 in this example includes a processing control device 1011 that is the center of functions such as communication and authentication. The processing control device 1011 includes a LAN communication switching mechanism 1012 that controls wireless communication, and authentication control. It is comprised from the authentication control mechanism 1013 which performs.
The processing control apparatus 1011 includes a LAN transmission / reception antenna 1014 that communicates with the transmission / reception apparatuses 105A to 105C of the LANs 102A to 102C to be communicated, and a terminal transmission / reception antenna 1015 that communicates with the wireless LAN terminals 104A and 104B. The wireless LAN base station 101 has an authentication server connection interface 1016 for connecting to the authentication server 103.

  The wireless LAN base station 101 transmits radio waves for terminal detection from the terminal transmitting / receiving antenna 1015 at predetermined time intervals, and monitors whether any of the wireless LAN terminals have entered the radio wave reachable range of the local station. When the intrusion is detected, the authentication information is acquired from the wireless tag 106A or 106B of the detected wireless LAN terminal, and the acquired authentication information is transferred to the authentication server 103 by the processing of the authentication control mechanism 1013. Is executed. If an authentication OK response is returned from the authentication server 103, configuration information such as the network address of the LAN 102A102C is acquired from the authentication server 103, transmitted to the wireless LAN terminal that detected the intrusion, and the LAN configuration information of the wireless LAN terminal The setting area 1403 is set.

As a result, the wireless LAN terminal 104A or 104B that has entered the radio wave reach of the wireless LAN base station 101 can be connected to any of 102A to 102C through the wireless LAN base station 101. In this case, the LANs 102A to 102C to be connected are selected by the LAN communication switching mechanism 1012 after analyzing the upper protocol information such as TCP / IP according to the analysis result.
By such connection distribution processing to a plurality of LANs in one wireless LAN base station 101, as a whole, a wireless LAN system in which a plurality of LANs are multiplexed and accommodated in one wireless LAN base station is constructed. Become.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of a LAN connection authentication process performed between the wireless LAN terminals 104A and 104B and the authentication server 103.
The wireless LAN base station 101 constantly monitors the intrusion of the wireless LAN terminals 104A and 104B into the radio wave influence range of the local station. When the intrusion is detected, the wireless LAN base station 101, the wireless LAN terminal 104A, An authentication process is executed between the authentication server 103 and 104B.
Wireless tags 106A and 106B holding authentication information 401 including at least a user ID 4011 and a password 4012 are added to the wireless LAN terminals 104A and 104B.
The user ID 4011 is information for uniquely specifying the wireless LAN terminals 104 </ b> A and 104 </ b> B, and is key information for searching for data on the authentication server 103.
The password 4012 is collated with the password on the authentication server 103 to identify whether the authentication information on the wireless LAN terminals 104A and 104B is properly registered (whether it is normally allowed to connect to the LAN). Used as information.

The authentication server 103 holds the password 4021 and LAN configuration information 4022 that permits connection to the LANs 102A to 102C so that the user ID can be used as a key.
The wireless LAN base station 101 transmits the user ID 4011 and password 4012 of the authentication information 401 acquired from the wireless LAN terminal 104 </ b> A or 104 </ b> B that detected the intrusion to the authentication server 103.
The authentication server 103 searches the authentication information 402 held inside using the received user ID 4011 as a key. If the corresponding authentication information is held, the password 4012 is checked to confirm that they match. If they match, the authentication is successful and the LAN configuration information 4022 searched by the user ID 4011 is returned to the wireless LAN base station 101 as an authentication result.

The wireless LAN base station 101 transmits the returned LAN configuration information 4022 to the wireless LAN terminal 104A or 104B that detected the intrusion. On the other hand, the wireless LAN terminal 104A or 104B registers the received LAN configuration information 4022 in the LAN configuration information setting area 1403. As a result, the LAN configuration information 4022 can be used to participate in the LANs 102A to 1025C.
In this case, since the content of the LAN configuration information 4022 can be set differently for each user ID, it is possible to control which of the LANs 102A to 102C can be connected by the user.

If authentication fails, an error response is transmitted to the corresponding wireless LAN terminal, and no LAN configuration information is transmitted. Accordingly, participation in the LANs 102A to 12C becomes impossible, and it becomes impossible to access the resources of the LANs 102A to 102C except for a wireless LAN terminal to which a wireless tag holding a user ID and a password that are properly permitted is added. Unauthorized access to users can be prevented.
In addition, since the LAN configuration information is not disclosed to unauthorized users, the safety of the LANs 102A to 102C can be improved.

  Further, even if there is no administrator of the LANs 102A to 102C, the LAN configuration information can be obtained without making the user aware of the wireless LAN terminal to which the wireless tag holding the authorized user ID and password is added. Since it is set in the LAN configuration information setting area 1403, it can be temporarily used even if the administrator is absent.

  Note that the authentication process may be performed by the wireless LAN base station 101 instead of the authentication server 103. In that case, the authentication information 502 may be acquired from the authentication server 103 or another external device, or may be stored in the wireless LAN base station 101 in advance.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing procedures for authentication of a wireless LAN terminal and LAN connection.
The wireless LAN base station 101 issues a signal for searching for the wireless LAN terminals 104A and 104B, and monitors that the wireless LAN terminals 104A and 104B have entered the local area (step 501).
If an intruded wireless LAN terminal is not found, scanning is continued. When one of the wireless LAN terminals is found (step 502), the wireless LAN base station 101 transmits an authentication information acquisition request for performing authentication to the wireless LAN terminal (step 503).
The wireless LAN terminal that has received the authentication information acquisition request returns the authentication information held in the wireless tag of the terminal itself (step 504).

The wireless LAN base station 101 transmits an authentication processing request including the authentication information to the authentication server 103 in order to authenticate the wireless LAN terminal using the returned authentication information (step 505).
The authentication server 103 performs an authentication process using the transmitted authentication information (step 506). This authentication process is performed by collating with authentication information 402 in the authentication server 103. When the authentication is successful, LAN configuration information for participating in the LAN held in the authentication information 402 is returned to the wireless LAN terminal via the wireless LAN base station 101 (steps 507 and 508).

In the wireless LAN terminal, when the LAN configuration information is returned, the LAN configuration information is set in the wireless LAN terminal (step 509) so that wireless LAN communication can be performed. When the LAN configuration information is set and the connection to the LANs 102A to 102C is established, data communication is performed as normal communication (step 510). That is, the wireless LAN terminal transmits data to the wireless LAN base station 101 wirelessly. The wireless LAN base station 101 that has received the data selects the LANs 102A to 102C connected to its own apparatus based on the received data (step 511), and transfers the data to one of the selected LANs.
Accordingly, the wireless LAN terminal can perform connection authentication to the LANs 102A to 102C, LAN selection, and data communication only by holding the authentication information in the terminal itself.

When detecting whether the wireless LAN terminal 104A or 104B has entered the radio wave reach of the wireless LAN base station 101, the interrogation signal is transmitted in the same frequency band as the wireless LAN, and the wireless tag identifier or Intrusion detection may be performed when the identifier of the wireless LAN terminal to which the wireless tag is added is returned from the wireless tag.
In this way, it is only necessary to add the wireless tag 106A holding the authentication information for permitting connection to the LANs 102A to 102C to the wireless LAN terminal owned by the user, and sending and receiving the authentication information within the wireless LAN terminal. This eliminates the need for incorporating the processing (steps 503 and 504) for the purpose.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an outline of LAN selection performed in the wireless LAN base station 101.
The wireless LAN base station 101 receives data from the wireless LAN terminals 104A and 104B.
The wireless LAN base station 101 normally enables wireless LAN communication by transferring received data to an interface on the LAN side connected to its own device. In the present invention, the protocol in the received data is used. According to the information, an appropriate one is selected from a plurality of connected LANs and transferred. The received data 601 includes a protocol unit 602 for performing wireless communication and a transferred protocol 603 on the LAN as protocols for controlling communication.
The wireless LAN base station 101 performs wireless communication using the wireless protocol 602, and at the same time, performs determination 604 of the LAN to be transferred using the LAN protocol 603 configured on the upper side. Since the LAN protocol 603 includes a transmission source address and a transmission destination address, the transmission destination address is extracted, and a LAN configured with the same address is selected from the LANs 102A to 102C connected to the own apparatus.
When there is no LAN configured with the same address, the transfer destination LAN is a relay point, and therefore, an appropriate LAN is selected based on the routing information set in the own apparatus for transfer.

FIG. 7 is a system configuration diagram showing an embodiment in which the authentication server 103 is installed in a remote place and authentication is performed.
In this embodiment, the installation location of the authentication server 103 can be freely set by using a general-purpose interface form and protocol as a connection interface between the radio base station 101 and the authentication server 103.
This makes it possible to centrally manage authentication information of a plurality of LANs at one place.

In this embodiment, the mobile phone terminal 204 is used and the authentication server 202 is connected.
When authentication is required due to the connection of the wireless LAN terminal, the wireless base station 101 opens an authentication server interface connected to its own device. That is, here, a communication path between the mobile phones 701 and 702 is established and a connection with the authentication server 103 is established, and then authentication is performed.
