Abstract
A method for realizing a convergent Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure (WAPI) network architecture with a split Medium Access Control (MAC) mode involves the steps: a split MAC mode for realizing WLAN Privacy Infrastructure (WPI) by an access controller is constructed through splitting the MAC function and the WAPI function of the wireless access point apart to a wireless terminal point and the access controller; integration of a WAPI and a convergent WLAN network system architecture is realized under the split MAC mode that the access controller realizes WPI; the association connection process is performed among a station point, a wireless terminal point and an access controller; the process for announcing the start of performing the WLAN Authentication Infrastructure (WAI) protocol between the access controller and the wireless terminal point is performed; the process for performing the WAI protocol between the station point and the access controller is performed; the process for announcing the end of performing the WAI protocol between the access controller and the wireless terminal point is performed; the secret communication process i…
