In the beyond third-Generation (3G) vision, the convergence of different access network technologies is realized and end-user devices are able to roam seamlessly among them. Seamless roaming requires authentication to a network, which may require interaction with an end user that results in the termination of ongoing service sessions and, therefore, inhibits seamless roaming. Furthermore, some access technologies may support a plethora of authentication protocols, making selection of the appropriate method(s) of authentication challenging for an end user. This paper proposes a solution involving single sign-on authentication that allows the end user to roam between different administrative domains and access network technologies (e.g., wireline and wireless).
