Abstract
A method for validating radio resource control (RRC) messages begins by receiving a RRC message at a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) from a radio access network. A determination is made at the WTRU whether the message is valid by applying a predetermined validation rule. The WTRU accepts the message if the message is valid. The WTRU rejects the message if the message is not valid. The message is rejected unless a new transport format combination set (TFCS) is provided, until the WTRU enters a CELL_DCH state, or both.
Claims14
A method for validating radio resource control (RRC) messages, comprising the steps of:
- receiving a RRC message at a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) from a radio access network;
- determining at the WTRU whether the message is valid by applying a predetermined validation rule to the message;
- accepting the message by the WTRU if the message is valid;
- and
- rejecting the message by the WTRU if the message is not valid.
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) for validating radio resource control (RRC) messages, comprising:
- a receiver, configured to receive a RRC message from a radio access network;
- a rule application device, configured to determine whether the message is valid by applying a predetermined validation rule;
- a message accepting device, configured to accept the message if the message is valid;
- and
- a message rejecting device, configured to reject the message if the message is not valid.
