Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of wireless communications, especially a method and device for joining an access node group (APG), for use in resolving the problem in the prior art of an access node being unable to join an APG securely. In the embodiments of the present invention, the access node performs network layer two-way authentication with a local service center after determining to join the APG; and the access node performs network configuration according to configuration information in a network configuration message after receiving the network configuration message sent by the local service center. Therefore, an APG corresponding to a user equipment follows the user equipment, and at the same time, it can be ensured that an access node may join the APG securely.
