Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for authenticating with a mobile communication network. One apparatus (300) includes a processor (305), a first transceiver (325) that communicates with a mobile communication network via a first access network, and a second transceiver (330) that communicates with the mobile communication network via a second access network. The processor (305) sends (710) a request to start authentication via the second access network and receives (715) an extensible authentication protocol (�EAP�) request with a first expanded type via the second access network. The processor (305) sends (720) an EAP response via the second access network, the EAP response comprising the first expanded type, a first set of parameters, and a first message. Here, the first message is a same type of message usable to establish a connection with the mobile communication network over the first access network.

Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
a first transceiver that communicates with a mobile communication network via a first access network; a second transceiver that communicates with the mobile communication network via a second access network; and a processor that: sends a request to start authentication via the second access network; receives an extensible authentication protocol (�EAP�) request with a first expanded type via the second access network; sends an EAP response via the second access network, the EAP response comprising the first expanded type, a first set of parameters, and a first message, wherein the first message is a same type of message usable to establish a connection with the mobile communication network over the first access network.
2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first message is a non-access stratum (�NAS�) registration request, wherein the second access network is a wireless local area network (�WLAN�).
3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the processor further establishes a secure IPsec connection with an interworking function and exchanges NAS messages with the mobile communication network via the secure IPsec connection.
4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor further receives one or more additional EAP requests and sends an equal number of EAP responses, wherein each of the additional EAP requests and responses encapsulates at least one non-access stratum (�NAS�) message, wherein the processor establishes a NAS connection with the mobile communication network via the additional EAP requests and responses.
5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor further determines that the first expanded type is not supported by the apparatus, wherein sending the EAP response via the second access network comprises sending an EAP response including the first expanded type and a list of authentication methods supported by the apparatus for authenticating with the mobile communication network via the second access network.
6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the processor further authenticates with the mobile communication network using one of the authentication methods supported by the apparatus.
7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor further determines that a protocol associated with an expected message type is not supported by the apparatus, wherein sending the EAP response via the second access network comprises sending an EAP response that includes the first expanded type and one or more additional parameters usable by an interworking function to generate a message of the expected message type on behalf of the apparatus.
8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the generated message of the expected message type contains an indication that the generated message is created by the interworking function on behalf of the apparatus.
9. A method comprising:
providing a first transceiver for communicating with a mobile communication network via a first access network and a second transceiver for communicating with the mobile communication network via a second access network; sending a request to start authentication via the second access network; receiving, at a remote unit, an extensible authentication protocol (�EAP�) request with a first expanded type via the second access network; sending an EAP response via the second access network, the EAP response comprising the first expanded type, a first set of parameters, and a first message, wherein the first message is a same type of message usable to establish a connection with the mobile communication network over the first access network.

17. An apparatus comprising:
a first transceiver that communicates with a remote unit via a first access network; a second transceiver that communicates with a mobile communication network; and a processor that: receives a request from the remote unit to start authentication via the first access network; sends an extensible authentication protocol (�EAP�) request with a first expanded type to the remote unit; and receives an EAP response via the first access network, the EAP response comprising the first expanded type, a first set of parameters, and a first message, wherein the first message is a same type of message usable to establish a connection with the mobile communication network over another access network that uses different communication protocols than the first access network.
18. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the first message is a non-access stratum (�NAS�) registration request, wherein the first access network is a wireless local area network (�WLAN�).
19. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein the processor further establishes a secure IPsec connection with the remote unit relaying NAS messages between the remote unit and the mobile communication network via the secure IPsec connection.
20. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the processor further sends one or more additional EAP requests and receives an equal number of EAP responses, wherein each of the additional EAP requests and responses encapsulates at least one non-access stratum (�NAS�) message, wherein the remote unit establishes a NAS connection with the mobile communication network via the additional EAP requests and responses.
