Radio Access Capabilities of a Wireless Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18663171 titled 'Radio Access Capabilities of a Wireless Device
Simplified Explanation
The network node in a wireless communication network acquires radio access capability information of a wireless device and determines if the information was received before access stratum security was activated. If so, it re-acquires the information after security activation.
- Acquires radio access capability information of a wireless device
- Determines if the information was received before access stratum security activation
- Re-acquires the information after security activation
Potential Applications
This technology can be used in various wireless communication networks to ensure secure access for wireless devices.
Problems Solved
Ensures that radio access capability information is acquired securely in wireless communication networks.
Benefits
Enhances security by re-acquiring radio access capability information after security activation.
Commercial Applications
- Secure wireless communication networks
- Enhanced network security measures
Questions about the Technology
How does this technology improve security in wireless communication networks?
This technology ensures that radio access capability information is acquired securely, enhancing overall network security.
What are the potential implications of re-acquiring radio access capability information after security activation?
Re-acquiring this information after security activation helps to maintain a secure connection between wireless devices and the network.
Original Abstract Submitted
A network node is configured for use in a wireless communication network. The network node is configured to acquire radio access capability information of a wireless device. The radio access capability information of the wireless device indicates radio access capabilities of the wireless device. The network node is configured to determine if the wireless communication network received the radio access capability information of the wireless device before access stratum security was activated for the wireless device. If the wireless communication network received the radio access capability information of the wireless device before access stratum security was activated for the wireless device according to that determination, the network node is configured to re-acquire the radio access capability information of the wireless device after access stratum security is activated for the wireless device.
