Abstract: A local attachment element in an access domain is configured to perform a fast authentication procedure without involving a centralized attachment element in a core network domain. Stated in other words, there is provided a regional authentication concept for any access in a multi-access environment.

Abstract: A method and device for routing data packets of a wireless terminal device in a communication network. When Open system Authentication is used, the system operates similarly as the current Nokia Operator Wireless LAN system, in which the terminal device and the access controller are the parties involved in the authentication. The access controller relays information relating to the authentication between the terminal device and an authenticating server, and it is capable of updating independently the list of users it maintains. When authentication according IEEE 802.1X authentication, the access point operates according to the IEEE 802.1X standard, serving as the authenticating party and relaying information relating to the authentication between the terminal device and the authentication server. In addition, the list maintained by the access controller is updated after a successful authentication, for example by the access point or the authenticating server.

Abstract: A stand-alone solution by way of a unified attachment node, an integrated solution by way of an intelligent access node, and an overall system solution by way of a unified attachment solution, which are for a multi-access network attachment. The unified attachment solution may include a unified attachment node and an intelligent access node. Stated in other words, there is provided an evolution towards a unified attachment solution for any access in a multi-access environment.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing key management for a mobile authentication architecture may include a processor. The processor may be configured to provide a request for key revocation over an interface otherwise defined for sharing key acquisition information between a bootstrapping server function and a network application function, and cancel key information associated with the request for key revocation.

Abstract: A telecommunication network planning and network control includes network installation procedures and a system for configuring a telecommunication network. More specifically, a method and system for configuring a telecommunication network relate to preparing a network element for operation, and giving an address to a network element, where each network element in the telecommunication network has an address of its own. The method and system are further characterized by a process in which each network element is made a subnetwork of its own, a common network-wide IP classification is selected, an IP address is created for each network element, a configuration file is created which includes at least IP address information in combination with a network element site identifier. The configuration file is stored in a control device, and the configuration file is loaded from the control device into the network element on the basis of the site identifier.

Abstract: A method and device for ensuring address information of a wireless terminal device in a wireless local area network, the network comprising; an access point for setting up a communication connection to the terminal device, the method comprising establishing a communication connection between the terminal device and the access point (101), and relaying data packets from the terminal device to the network and from the network to the terminal device (105). The method further comprising the steps at the access point: detecting an IP address of the terminal device in response to the established communication connection (103), associating the detected IP address of the terminal device to the MAC address of the terminal device (104), and comparing that the address information of the terminal device on the relayed data packets are corresponding to the associated address information (111, 112).

Abstract: This invention relates to telecommunication network planning and network control as well as to network installation procedures. In particular the invention relates to a method for configurating a telecommunication network, preparing a network element for operation, and giving an address to a network element, where each network element in the telecommunication network has an address of its own. The method according to the invention comprises the following steps in which each network element is made a subnetwork of its own (301), a common network-wide IP classification is selected (302), an IP address is created for each network element (303), a configuration file is created which comprises at least IP address information in combination with a network element site identifier (304), the said configuration file is stored in a control device (305), and the said configuration file is loaded from the control device into the network element on the basis of the site identifier (306).
