“…3GPP-WLAN Heterogeneous Mobile Network, illustrated in Figure 1, was proposed by 3GPP to support the requirement of high-speed data services with wide coverage areas for 3GPP/WLAN multimode terminals [1]- [3]. Security and seamless handover are import aspects of service confidentiality, reliability and continuity in 3GPP-WLAN Heterogeneous Mobile Network [4]- [6]. Meanwhile, 3GPP also recommended Extensible Authentication Protocol-Authentication and Key Agreement protocol (EAP-AKA) supporting security services [7] [8].…”

The demand of ubiquitous communications drives the development of advanced mobile technologies. Meanwhile, recent increases in mobile data usage and the emergence of new IP service applications constitute the motivation to integrate 3GPP cellular mobile systems with broadband WLANs. Since 3GPP and WLAN systems complement each other in terms of infrastructure and network coverage and bandwidth, 3GPP-WLAN Heterogeneous Mobile Networks based on the 3GPP-based Home Network (3GHN) are proposed for meeting the growing demands in high-speed data access on any mobile devices. However, heterogeneous radio access technologies and architectures lead to many interworking issues, such as network transparency, security mechanism, seamless handover, and quality of service. Among of them, security and handover are the major motives to ensure the confidentiality, reliability and continuity of services in 3GPP-WLAN Heterogeneous Mobile Networks. This paper proposes fast handover pre-authentication protocol to reduce the handover authentication latency and authentication signaling overhead during the whole handover session. The proposed protocol supports Intra-Domain Handover Pre-Authentication (Intra-HO Pre-Auth) and Inter-Domain Handover Pre-Authentication (Inter-HO Pre-Auth) for preauthenticating the Mobile User (MS) prior to performing an Inter-domain Handover (Inter-domain HO)/Intra-domain Handover (Intra-domain HO) process. Meanwhile, the reduction in retrieving new Authentication Vector sand key sets from the Home Location Register/Home Subscriber Service/Authentication Center in 3GHN achieves for minimized redundant authentication signaling transactions between 3GPP domains and WLAN domains. In addition, this paper provides simulation results which show that the proposed Intra-HO Pre-Auth achieves 49% handover authentication performance improvement compared to EAP-AKA, and the proposed Inter-HO Pre-Auth achieves 26% handover authentication performance improvement as well.

With development of wireless Internet, the interworking of the third generation (3G) and wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) has become a focus research. Fusion of 3GWLAN has complementary advantages. The background and scheme of 3G and WLAN Fusion are discussed. The security of Fusion was analysed. Presents two security Fusion schemes has given. The first is called a loose coupling, The second is called close coupling. Two schemes are complement each other, realize the 3G and WLAN user unified management and 3G signing based on user WAPI security mechanism of WLAN access, and protect the user privacy.

The successful deployment of wireless local area networks (WLAN) for high speed data transmission and cellular systems for wide coverage and global roaming has emerged to be a complementary platform for wireless data communications. In order to fully exploit potentials in 3G/WLAN integration, authentication of roaming users crossing different networks, must be coupled with mobility management, which is a challenging, yet not resolved issue. The focus of this paper is on state‐of‐art solutions to Wi‐Fi and cellular networks based on IP infrastructure. Moreover, we introduce a new authentication architecture for fast authentication during inter‐networking handoff and large‐scale heterogeneous networks. We show that the new architecture can reduce authentication latency significantly and be adaptive to user mobility and traffic. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
