Patent

CA 2741625

A method and corresponding apparatus for providing a cellular subscriber with access to a WLAN are provided. They involve identifying a multimode mobile terminal, which corresponds to the subscriber and the WLAN from an access re-quest. Based on the identification, the WLAN is authorized to provide the mobile terminal with access. The mobile terminal is then provided with access to the WLAN as a cellular subscriber and enables interoperability between the two networks. For exam-ple, the subscriber does not have to supply a credit card to pay for WLAN access directly. Instead, the subscriber pays a cellular network provider, and, in turn, the cellular network provider pays a WLAN provider for the access.

L'invention porte sur une méthode et l'appareil correspondant octroyant à un abonné cellulaire un accès à un réseau local sans fil. Ladite méthode consiste: à identifier un terminal mobile multimode correspondant à l'abonné, ainsi que le réseau local sans fil à partir d'une demande d'accès; à fournir sur la base de l'identification, au réseau local sans fil, l'autorisation d'octroyer l'accès au terminal mobile; et à octroyer au terminal mobile l'accès au réseau local sans fil en tant qu'abonné cellulaire, ce qui assure l'interopérabilité entre les deux réseaux. Il en résulte par exemple que l'abonné n'a pas à fournir de carte de crédit pour payer l'accès au réseau local sans fil directement, puisqu'au contraire, il paye un fournisseur de réseau cellulaire qui à son tour rétribue le fournisseur de réseau local sans fil pour l'accès.
