METHOD FOR ATTACHMENT AND AUTHENTICATION OF A USER TERMINAL WITH A VISITED NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method for attachment and authentication of a user terminal of a home type radiocommunication network with a visited type radiocommunication network, the home network comprising home means for attachment to a packet network and the visited network comprising:
- at least one visited base station configured to ensure radio transmission and reception with user terminals located in at least one visited cell attached to the visited base station;
visited authentication and control means of user terminals configured to authenticate the user terminals attached to the network; and
at least one visited distribution gateway ensuring radio reception and transmission with the at least one visited base station;
wherein, the home network and the visited network each have a network identifier code that is shared by at least two networks, wherein each user terminal belonging to the home network has a first user identification code comprising the network identifier code shared by at least the home network and the visited network, and a second home network user identification code,and wherein when the user terminal belonging to the home network is located in a visited cell of the visited base station the method comprises;
accessing the visited network from the user terminal of the home network via the shared network identifier code;
authenticating the user terminal in the visited network via the second user identification code of the home network with at least one database comprising information relating to the user access rights of the user terminals for the visited network; and
establishing an access channel dedicated to the user terminal of the home network between the visited distribution gateway and the home attachment means.
