Abstract:
In a context of virtualized access points deployment, an access point of a first wireless network is split in a radio equipment deployed at the user premises and a radio equipment controller deployed in a data centre located a few kilometres from the user premises, the radio equipment and the radio equipment controller being interconnected via a wired network connection. In order to establish a secure wireless connection of a device to the virtualized access point in a user-friendly manner, a salient idea is to receive at the radio equipment controller in the data centre a first and a second information items respectively emulating a first action of a user on the first device and a second action of the user on the virtualized access point. The disclosed principles are advantageous as sending the first and the second information items to the radio equipment controller allows to emulate user actions on both the wireless device seeking for joining the first wireless network and the virtualized access point, further allowing to use simple but secure wireless configuration setup protocols, avoiding laborious configurations from users.
