WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18542948 titled 'WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for operating a User Equipment (UE) that needs to register with a target second network function in a second network, while being served by a source first network function in a first network. The method involves generating a registration request with integrity protection for at least a part of the request, and sending this protected part to the source first network function via the target second network function.

  • Explanation of the patent/innovation:

- User Equipment (UE) served by a source first network function in a first network. - Requires registration with a target second network function in a second network. - Generating a registration request with integrity protection for part of the request. - Sending the integrity protected part of the request to the source first network function via the target second network function.

Potential applications of this technology: - Mobile communication networks - Internet of Things (IoT) devices - Telecommunications industry

Problems solved by this technology: - Secure registration process for User Equipment (UE) - Seamless handover between different network functions - Protection of sensitive data during registration

Benefits of this technology: - Enhanced security for network registration - Improved reliability of network connections - Efficient communication between network functions

Potential commercial applications of this technology: - Network equipment manufacturers - Telecommunication service providers - IoT device manufacturers

Possible prior art: - Secure registration processes in mobile networks - Handover procedures between network functions

Questions: 1. How does this method impact the overall efficiency of network registration processes? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this method across different types of networks?


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for operating a User Equipment (UE) is disclosed, wherein the UE is served by a source first network function in a first network and requires to register with a target second network function in a second network. The method comprises generating a registration request with integrity protection for at least a part of the registration request, and sending an integrity protected part of the registration request to the source first network function via the target second network function.
