Abstract
A communication device may include: a circuit being identified by a unique identifier; a determiner configured to determine as to whether the communication device is unwantedly out of the authorized user's control; a communication connection establisher configured to establish a Subscriber Identity Module less communication connection; and a transmitter configured to transmit a verification state request message including information indicating the unique identifier to another communication device.
Claims19
A communication device, comprising:
- a circuit being identified by a unique identifier;
- a determiner configured to determine as to whether the communication device is unwantedly out of the authorized user's control;
- a communication connection establisher configured to establish a Subscriber Identity Module less communication connection;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit a verification state request message including information indicating the unique identifier to another communication device.
A communication device, comprising:
- a memory storing a plurality of respectively unique identifiers, each identifier uniquely identifying a circuit, wherein a security state is assigned to each stored unique identifier;
- a receiver configured to receive a verification state request message from another communication device, the verification state request message including information indicating a unique identifier of a circuit of the other communication device;
- a determiner configured to determine the stored security state assigned to the unique identifier indicated by the information included in the received verification state request message;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit the determined security state to the other communication device.
A cellular wide area radio base station, comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive from a communication device a request to establish a Subscriber Identity Module less communication connection, and an identifier uniquely identifying a circuit of the communication device;
- a determiner configured to determine as to whether the requested Subscriber Identity Module less communication connection should be provided to the communication device based on the identifier;
- and
- a circuit configured to provide the Subscriber Identity Module less communication connection for the communication device.
A method for operating a communication device, the method comprising:
- determining as to whether the communication device is unwantedly out of the authorized user's control;
- establishing a Subscriber Identity Module less communication connection;
- and
- transmitting a verification state request message including information indicating a unique identifier identifying a circuit of the communication device to another communication device.
