Abstract:
A security mode method (200) receives (210) a layer 3 message in a first domain from a network, determines (220) if the layer 3 message has integrity protection information, ascertains (240) if a security mode has been initiated in the first domain, and forwards (260) the layer 3 message to an upper layer, if the layer 3 message lacks integrity protection information and a security mode has not been initiated in the first domain even if security mode has been initiated in a second domain. This method allows a mobile station to process a non-integrity-protected layer 3 message from one domain even if integrity protection has been initiated in another domain. When packet-switched and circuit-switched connections are being concurrently set up, a non-integrity-protected message in one domain may arrive at a mobile station after an integrity protection initiation message in another domain.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for interrupting a transmission of a multicast signal includes a common channel selector (106) coupled to a receiver (102) to receive common channel information (116) therefrom. A repetition value calculator (108) receives measurement occasion information (118) from the common channel selector (106) to calculate a repetition factor (120). A system frame number comparator (110) determines if a channel measurement occasion (128) should be performed based on the repetition factor (120), a common identifier (124) and a largest common channel transmission time interval (122). The method and apparatus further includes a measurement occasion generator (112) coupled to the system frame number comparator (110), wherein if a measurement occasion is to be performed, a measurement occasion command signal (126) is provided to the measurement occasion generator (112) and the measurement occasion generator generates the channel measurement occasion (128).
Abstract:
A method for preventing misuse of a random access procedure including transmitting a random access preamble, receiving a random access response message which includes a random access response that is scrambled using the identity of the random access preamble transmitted by the mobile station, checking that the random access response is in response to the random access preamble transmitted by the mobile station, and decoding the random access response.

Abstract:
Mobile station applications (419) may include an SI unit (409) for piggy backing SI onto data stored in data buffer (421) and also for adding an indicator to the SI information. The scheduling information and/or incremental control information (501) is piggy backed onto a data PDU and also has a sequence number (503) and an indicator field (505) which is added by the SI unit, such as SI unit (409), in accordance with the embodiments. The indicator may be a bit map having four bit positions. A bit position having a binary “1” value may be utilized to indicate that a previous SN of SI information remains valid. For example, “0100” of the bit map sequence may indicate that SN #3 is still valid. The base station or controller may then determine whether to implement or discard an SI information having the indicated SN.
Abstract:
An integrity protection count synchronization method (200) initiates (210) a new connection when a user equipment (UE) is already in connected mode with a network. If new security keys are pending, the UE sends (250) a START value of zero in an initial direct transfer message. If no new security keys are pending, the UE sends (240) a non-zero START value based on a Universal Subscriber Interface Module (USIM). Sending a START value of zero when new security keys are pending at the UE forces the network's COUNT-I integrity count value to match the zero COUNT-I value at the UE, which prevents call set-up failure due to inability to pass an integrity protection security check.
