1. A method for wireless communication comprising:
- requesting a network access from an access point of a first network by a user end;
transmitting an EAP authentication request from the access point to the user end; and
sending an EAP authentication request response from the user end to the access point, wherein the EAP authentication request response comprises an attach type indicator that indicates to a gateway associated with the access point whether the request for network access is an initial attachment or a handover from a second network.

Abstract
Systems and methods for interworking between two different networks are presented. In one embodiment, a method for wireless communication includes requesting a network access from an access point of a first network, and transmitting an EAP authentication request from the access point to a user end. An EAP authentication request response is sent from the user end to the access point. The EAP authentication request response includes an attach type indicator that indicates to a gateway associated with the access point whether the attach request is an initial attachment or a handover from a second network.

14. A wireless device comprising:
-
a receiver configured to receive an EAP identity request message from a first and a second network; a processor configured to generate an EAP identity response message, the EAP identity response message comprising an attach type indicator; and a transmitter configured to transmit the identity response message to the first and the second network. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A wireless communication system comprising:
a first access network, the first access network being connected to a different second access network, the first access network being configured to respond to an access request from a user end and to transmit an EAP authorization request message for authorizing a user end of the second access network, wherein the first access network is configured to receive an EAP response message comprising an attach type indicator, wherein the first access network allows the user end to establish a mobile internet protocol connection based on an acceptance of the EAP response message by an authorization and access server of the second access network, wherein the attach indicator indicates if the access request is a new connection or if the user end is a handover from the second access network. - View Dependent Claims (20)
