Abstract
A method for implementing a convergent Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure (WAPI) network architecture in a local Medium Access Control (MAC) mode is provided and includes the following steps: the MAC function and WAPI function of Access Point (AP) are divided between Wireless Terminal Point (WTP) and Access Controller (AC) to construct a local MAC mode; the convergence of WAPI protocol and the convergent WLAN network architecture is implemented in the local MAC mode; the process of association and connection between Station (STA), WTP and AC is performed; the process of notification of the beginning of the execution of the WLAN Authentication Infrastructure (WAI) protocol between AC and WTP is performed; the process of the execution of the WAI protocol between STA and AC is performed; the process of notification of the end of the execution of the WAI protocol between AC and WTP is performed; the process of encrypted communication between WTP and STA is performed by use of WPI.
