“…While in our proposal the UE just needs to attach the ANQP-DS server for authenticating a UE. If we apply the EAP-AKA in the fast handover, the time needed for UE authentication procedure is 605ms [13], on the other hand in our proposal the time needed for UE authentication is just 330ms. Therefore, our proposal significantly decreases the re-authentication time by 58% as shown in Table II.…”

“…Alternative offloading mechanisms are proposed, such as IP Flow Mobility [9], Selected IP Traffic Offload (SIPTO), Local IP Access (LIPA) for data offloading [10], Seamless Internetworking Flow Mobility (SIFM) [11] and multipath transmission protocol (MPTCP) [12]. Most of these techniques suffer from the latency in the UE authentication during the handover procedure [13]. They also have weaknesses in terms of maintaining a mobility management when the UE is switched to the WiFi network it moves in small coverage area of APs, therefore it dynamically changes its AP.…”

Abstract-Nowadays a cellular network suffers from a data traffic load in a metropolitan area due to the enormous number of mobile devices connectivity. Therefore, the users experience many issues because of a congestion and overload at an access network such as low throughput, long latencies and network outages. Current network operator's solutions, such as capping data usage and throttling a connection speed, have a negative effect on the user satisfaction. Therefore, alternative solutions are needed such as Access Point (AP)-based complementary network. In this paper, we use WiFi as a complementary network to Long-Term Evolution (LTE). We propose a seamless network architecture between LTE and WiFi networks, by utilizing the packet gateway (P-GW) as an IP flow anchor between LTE and WiFi to maintain a seamless connectivity. The proposed architecture has two new components, Access Network Query Protocol-Data Server (ANQP-DS) and Access Zone Control (AZC), to WiFi core network for managing UE authentication and balancing the load of UEs between APs. Finally, we demonstrate and validate the effectiveness of our proposed idea over other prior approaches based on comparison with a current handover and Extensible Authentication Protocol-Authentication and Key Agreement (EAP-AKA) mechanisms in the literature through simulations.

“…A new method that provides authentication between server and users without using cryptography has been proposed in , although it is not suitable for sequential authentication and re‐authentication processes. Some studies are carried out on modified authentication protocols, whereas other studies are proposed major amendments to 3G‐WLAN or LTE‐WLAN interworking architectures to enhance authentication in the handover process, for example, method to provide security in WLAN networks , authentication protocol in Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) networks , authentication and key agreement in WLAN‐LTE , authentication protocols for 3G‐WLAN interworking architectures , and .…”

For mobile users, interworking environment composed of Long Term Evolution (LTE) and wireless local area network (WLAN) has become a practical consideration. As a prevalent technology, LTE has desirable features that support high data rate, mobile capabilities, good quality of service and wide coverage area. On the other hand, WLAN network provides higher bit rate but weaker mobility support. Additional features such as cost effectiveness on covering signal‐deadzones of LTE networks and its plentiful bandwidth for better good quality of service make the WLAN a complementary solution for LTE networks. Accordingly, the combination of both technologies would provide better system with higher privilege to both users and service providers. Recent development in LTE‐WLAN interworking has led to a need of authentication protocols that can provide secure and seamless handover process among such networks. Several studies have modified the existing authentication protocols, but they are limited to 3G‐WLAN interworking architecture. Besides, most of the existing authentication schemes are complex and vulnerable to network attacks (e.g. user identity disclosure). Extensible Authentication Protocol with improved authentication and key agreement protocol is introduced in this paper to present the new inter‐re‐authentication and intra‐re‐authentication protocols specified for the LTE‐WLAN interworking architecture. The proposed protocols are verified using Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications, and the performances are evaluated in terms of energy consumption, authentication delay and signalling cost. The results indicate that the proposed protocols are more secure and efficient compared with standard protocols. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
