WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240121601 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 the protected part to the source first network function via the target second network function.
- Explanation of the patent/innovation:
- UE served by a first network function needs to register with a second network function.
- Registration request is generated with integrity protection for part of the request.
- Protected part of the request is sent through the target second network function to the source first network function.
Potential applications of this technology: - Mobile communication networks - Internet of Things (IoT) devices - Telecommunication systems
Problems solved by this technology: - Secure registration process for user equipment - Seamless handover between different network functions
Benefits of this technology: - Enhanced security for registration requests - Improved reliability in network handover processes - Efficient communication between network functions
Potential commercial applications of this technology:
Secure Registration Process for User Equipment in Telecommunication Networks
Possible prior art: - Existing methods for registering user equipment in telecommunication networks - Techniques for ensuring integrity and security in network communication processes
Questions:
How does this method improve the registration process for user equipment in telecommunication networks?
This method enhances the security and reliability of the registration process by providing integrity protection for the registration request, ensuring that the communication between network functions is secure and efficient.
What are the specific benefits of using integrity protection in the registration request for user equipment?
The use of integrity protection in the registration request helps prevent unauthorized access or tampering with the request, ensuring the authenticity and reliability of the communication between the user equipment and the network functions.
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.
