CPC Class H04W

Technologies for fulfilling service requests in an edge architecture include an edge gateway device to receive a request from an edge device or an intermediate tier device of an edge network to perform a function of a service by an entity hosting the service. The edge gateway device is to identify one or more input data to fulfill the request by the service and request the one or more input data from an edge resource identified to provide the input data. The edge gateway device is to provide the input data to the entity associated with the request.

A receiver receives a first message including a first PDCP SN. The receiver may receive a second message including a second PDCP SN. The receiver may derive a second RTP SN based on at least one of a first RTP SN of the first message, the first PDCP SN, the second PDCP SN, or an RTP SN field of a second PDCP header composing the second message.

A communication authentication method and a related device, the method including sending, by a user terminal, a generic bootstrapping architecture (GBA) authentication request carrying a user terminal identifier, receiving, by the user terminal, an authentication request carrying an authentication token (AUTN) and a random number (RAND), and deriving, by the user terminal, a first authentication vector based on the AUTN and the RAND, where the first authentication vector is different from a second authentication vector of the user terminal, the first authentication vector is a 5th generation (5G) GBA authentication vector, and the second authentication vector includes at least one of a 3rd generation/4th generation (3G/4G) GBA authentication vector or a 5G authentication vector.

A method for issuance of a personalized user device includes initializing a user device to provide an initialized user device, providing device initialization data to an issuer system, wherein the device initialization data comprises a public device key and a public issuer authentication key, calculating a user private key, encrypting the user private key and the public device authentication key with the public device key to provide encrypted data, digitally signing the encrypted data using a private issuer key to provide signed encrypted data, the issuer system providing the encrypted data and the signed encrypted data, injecting said data into the initialized user device to provide the personalized user device, and the personalized user device, conditional on successfully validating the signed encrypted data, decrypting the encrypted data to retrieve the user private key and the public device authentication key.

The disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method and an apparatus for handling configured grant (CG) resource for small data transmission (SDT) are provided.
