    Abstract: A UE may discard a Plain Authentication Request message or a Plain Identity Request, when received in Service-Request-Initiated state. In such a manner, the UE will not respond to non-integrity protected Authentication Request message or non-integrity protected Identity Request message as part of integrity protected service request procedure (NR and LTE), tracking area update procedure (LTE), or registration request procedure (NR). Thus, a malicious attacker may not use a captured Authentication Request or an Identity Request message to track victim UEs in the network.
    A UE may receive a first GUTI from a network. The UE may transition to a Connected mode in response to a paging procedure with the network. The UE may take actions to ensure that a second GUTI is obtained from the network. Other aspects are described.
