Device and method for distributing WLAN user policy
First Claim
1. A device for distributing a Wireless Local Access Network (WLAN) user policy, comprising a hardware processor, configured to execute modules on a memory, the modules comprising:
- a first receiving module, configured to receive a WLAN user policy actively sent by an upstream policy decision distribution device; and
a first forwarding module, configured to forward the WLAN user policy to a WLAN user policy execution device;
wherein the device for distributing the WLAN user policy is a WLAN Mobility Server (WMS) and the WLAN user policy execution device is an Access Control (AC);
the modules further comprising;
a second receiving module, configured to receive a WLAN user policy request from the WLAN user policy execution device;
a second forwarding module, configured to forward the WLAN user policy request to the upstream policy decision distribution device;
a third receiving module, configured to receive a WLAN user policy corresponding to the WLAN user policy request from the upstream policy decision distribution device; and
a third forwarding module, configured to forward the WLAN user policy corresponding to the WLAN user policy request to the WLAN user policy execution device.

Abstract
A Wireless Local Access Network (WLAN) user policy distribution device and method are described. One embodiment of such a device comprises: a first receiving module, configured to receive a WLAN user policy actively sent by an upstream policy decision distribution device; and a first forwarding module, configured to forward the WLAN user policy to a WLAN user policy execution device. Through the technical solution provided in one embodiment of such a device, the absence of a necessary policy control management mechanism in the existing WLAN is solved, thereby implementing the WLAN user policy control effectively.

5. A method for distributing a WLAN user policy, comprising:
-
receiving, by a WLAN user policy distribution device, a WLAN user policy actively sent by an upstream policy decision distribution device; and forwarding, by the WLAN user policy distribution device, the WLAN user policy to a WLAN user policy execution device; wherein a WLAN user policy distribution device is a WLAN Mobility Server (WMS) and the WLAN user policy execution device is an Access Control (AC); the method further comprising; by the WLAN user policy distribution device, receiving a WLAN user policy request from the WLAN user policy execution device and forwarding the WLAN user policy request to the upstream policy decision distribution device; and by the WLAN user policy distribution device, receiving a WLAN user policy corresponding to the WLAN user policy request from the upstream policy decision distribution device and forwarding the WLAN user policy to the WLAN user policy execution device. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
