Abstract
A method of handoff of user equipment is provided. A code is generated in a mobility management entity. A handoff message is sent from a base station to a user plane function, said message including said code. The handoff message is verified in said user plane function using said code.
Claims29
A method of handoff of user equipment comprising:
- generating in a mobility management entity a code;
- sending a handoff message from a base station to a user plane function, said message including said code;
- verifying said handoff message in said user plane function using said code.
A system comprising:
- mobility management entity configured to generate a code;
- a base station configured to send a handoff message to a user plane function, said message including said code;
- a user plane function configured to verify said handoff message using said code.
A mobility management entity comprising:
- a code generator, said code generator arranged to generate a code;
- a transmitter for sending said code to at least one of user plane function and a base station for use in handing off.
A mobility management entity comprising:
- means for generating a code;
- transmitting means for sending said code to at least one of said user plane function and a base station for use in handing off.
A method of handoff of user equipment comprising:
- sending a handoff message from a base station to at least one of a user plane function and a mobility management entity, said message being encoded by a code, said code comprising at least one radio link layer key;
- and
- verifying said handoff message in at least one of said user plane function and said mobility management entity, using said code.
A system comprising:
- a base station configured to send a handoff message from a base station to at least one of a user plane function and a mobility management entity, said message being encoded by a code, said code comprising at least one radio link layer key;
- and
- a user plane function configured to verify said handoff message, using said code.
A system comprising:
- a base station configured to send a handoff message from a base station to at least one of a user plane function and a mobility management entity, said message being encoded by a code, said code comprising at least one radio link layer key;
- and
- a mobility management entity configured to verify said handoff message, using said code
A base station comprising:
- means for sending a handoff message to at least one of a user plane function and a mobility management entity, said message being encoded by a code, said code comprising at least one radio link layer key.
A base station configured to send a handoff message to at least one of user plane function and a mobility management entity, said message being encoded by a code, said code comprising at least one radio link layer key.
A method of handoff of user equipment comprising:
- generating in a user plane function a code;
- sending a handoff message from a base station to a mobility management entity, said message including said code;
- verifying said handoff message in said mobility management function using said code.
