COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18613766 titled 'COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS
The patent application describes a method and apparatus for improving security during random access in a communication network.
- The method involves receiving signaling and determining a mask stored at a storage location, then performing random access when a mask matches the stored mask.
- Signaling includes a mask identifier that identifies the storage location and/or the mask, allowing for implicit indication of masks and storage locations.
- Negotiations in advance establish correspondences between mask identifiers and storage locations or masks.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in various communication networks to enhance security during random access procedures. - It can be used in IoT devices, mobile networks, and other wireless communication systems.
Problems Solved: - Addresses the issue of low security during random access in communication networks. - Improves the efficiency and reliability of random access procedures.
Benefits: - Enhances security and privacy in communication networks. - Streamlines random access processes and reduces the risk of unauthorized access.
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Security for Communication Networks This technology can be utilized by telecommunications companies, IoT device manufacturers, and network operators to improve the security of their systems. It can also be integrated into 5G networks to enhance privacy and data protection.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology improve security during random access in communication networks? 2. What are the potential implications of using this method in IoT devices and mobile networks?
Original Abstract Submitted
This application provides a communication method and apparatus, to resolve a problem that security is low when a tag is triggered to perform random access in a communication network. The method includes: receiving first signaling, and determining, based on the first signaling, a second mask stored at a first storage location; and performing random access when a first mask matches the second mask. The first signaling indicates the first storage location and the first mask, the first signaling carries a first mask identifier, and the first mask identifier identifies the first storage location and/or the first mask. In embodiments of this application, a correspondence between a mask identifier and a storage location and/or a correspondence between the mask identifier and a mask are/is negotiated in advance, so that a part or all of masks and storage locations can be implicitly indicated by using a mask identifier.
