CORE NETWORK INDICATION AND SECURITY HANDLING FOR HANDOVER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240137818 titled 'CORE NETWORK INDICATION AND SECURITY HANDLING FOR HANDOVER
Simplified Explanation
The method described in the patent application involves a handover procedure in a telecommunications network that includes establishing a connection with a source network node, receiving a radio resource control message with information about a target network node, applying security parameters based on the target network node, and performing a handover towards the target network node using the applied security parameters.
- Establish connection with source network node
- Receive radio resource control message with information about target network node
- Apply security parameters based on target network node
- Perform handover towards target network node using applied security parameters
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in mobile telecommunications networks to facilitate seamless handovers between different core networks.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently and securely transferring a user equipment (UE) from one core network to another during a handover process.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved network efficiency, enhanced security during handover procedures, and a smoother user experience for mobile subscribers.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include mobile network operators looking to enhance their network performance and provide better quality of service to their customers.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be related to existing handover procedures in telecommunications networks, but this specific method appears to introduce improvements in security and efficiency during the handover process.
Unanswered Questions
1. How does this method impact the overall network performance during handover procedures? 2. Are there any specific requirements for the network nodes involved in the handover process to support this method effectively?
Original Abstract Submitted
a method for a handover procedure comprises establishing a connection with a source network node of a first core network; receiving a radio resource control (rrc) message including an information element, wherein the information element indicates a second core network associated with a target network node; applying security parameters based on the second core network indicated in the information element; and performing a handover toward the target network node using the applied security parameters. the method provides an indication in rrc connection reconfiguration procedure to indicate the ue the core network of the target network node, so that the ue may recognize that this is an inter-system handover and apply corresponding security parameters for performing the handover without additional signaling.
