Securing quality of service (QoS) according to type of wireless local area network (WLAN) service
First Claim
1. A wireless network system, comprising:
- an authentication server adapted to set a priority for an access category of a wireless network service requested by a user to perform an authentication procedure in response to a user terminal requesting authentication for access to a wireless network; and
an Access Point (AP) adapted to receive and store access category information of the user terminal authenticated by the authentication server and to compare access category information contained in a packet received from the user terminal to the previously stored access category information of the user terminal to control access of the user terminal to the wireless network.

14. A wireless network access control method, comprising:
-
determining a priority for an access category of a wireless network service requested by a user to perform an authentication procedure in response to a user terminal requesting authentication for access to a wireless network;
receiving access category information of an authenticated user terminal and adding the access category information to a user terminal list table;
comparing access category information contained in a packet received from the user terminal to access category information of the terminal stored in the terminal list table; and
controlling access of the user terminal to the wireless network in accordance with a result of the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
