| 20090054094 | METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING A CODE GROUP REPRESENTATIVE OF A NUMBER OF BASE STATIONS - A method and apparatus for identifying a code group representative of a predetermined number of base stations is disclosed. A chip offset within a frame is input into a first correlator. A plurality of samples of chips at which a primary synchronization code (PSC) has been detected are input into the first correlator. Output of the first correlator is multiplied by the complex conjugate of the PSC to obtain a magnitude for the signals being transmitted at the chips inputted into the first correlator. The magnitude is summed over four frames. The summed signals view of a predetermined set of decision variables is evaluated. A case number, a code group, a timeslot location, and a system frame number are determined based on the evaluation and noise estimation. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090125996 | VIRTUAL SUBSCRIBER IDENTITY MODULE - A mobile trusted platform (MTP) configured to provide virtual subscriber identify module (vSIM) services is disclosed. In one embodiment, the MTP includes: a device manufacturer-trusted subsystem (TSS-DM) configured to store and provide credentials related to a manufacturer of the MTP; a mobile network operator-trusted subsystem (MNO-TSS) configured to store and provide credentials related to a mobile network operator (MNO); and a device user/owner-trusted subsystem (TSS-DO/TSS-U) configured to store and provide credentials related to user of the MTP. The TSS-MNO includes a vSIM core services unit, configured to store, provide and process credential information relating to the MNO. The TSS-DO/TSS-U includes a vSIM management unit, configured to store, provide and process credential information relating to the user/owner of the MTP. The TSS-DO/TSS-U and the TSS-MNO communicate through a trusted vSIM service. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20090209232 | TECHNIQUES FOR SECURE CHANNELIZATION BETWEEN UICC AND A TERMINAL - The present invention is related to a wireless communication system. 3G UMTS mobile phone systems rely on a protected smart card called the UMTS integrated circuit card (UICC) that provides UMTS subscriber identity module (USIM) applications as a basis or root of various security measures protecting the communication path between the 3G mobile terminal and the UMTS wireless network (or UTRAN). Disclosed is a method by which the UICC exchanges information with a terminal, such as an Internal Key Center (IKC | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090313472 | SECURE SESSION KEY GENERATION - A method and apparatus for securing the interface between a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) and a Terminal in wireless communications is disclosed. The security of Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA) and application level generic bootstrapping architecture (GBA) with UICC-based enhancements (GBA_U) procedures is improved. A secure shared session key is used to encrypt communications between the UICC and the Terminal. The secure shared session key generated using authenticating or non-authenticating procedures. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20110010543 | PLATFORM VALIDATION AND MANAGEMENT OF WIRELESS DEVICES - Methods, components and apparatus for implementing platform validation and management (PVM) are disclosed. PVM provides the functionality and operations of a platform validation entity with remote management of devices by device management components and systems such as a home node-B management system or component. Example PVM operations bring devices into a secure target state before allowing connectivity and access to a core network. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110041003 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR H(e)NB INTEGRITY VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION - An apparatus and method for providing home evolved node-B (H(e)NB) integrity verification and validation using autonomous validation and semi-autonomous validation is disclosed herein. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20110099605 | SYSTEM OF MULTIPLE DOMAINS AND DOMAIN OWNERSHIP - Methods and instrumentalities are disclosed that enable one or more domains on one or more devices to be owned or controlled by one or more different local or remote owners, while providing a level of system-wide management of those domains. Each domain may have a different owner, and each owner may specify policies for operation of its domain and for operation of its domain in relation to the platform on which the domain resides, and other domains. A system-wide domain manager may be resident on one of the domains. The system-wide domain manager may enforce the policies of the domain on which it is resident, and it may coordinate the enforcement of the other domains by their respective policies in relation to the domain in which the system-wide domain manager resides. Additionally, the system-wide domain manager may coordinate interaction among the other domains in accordance with their respective policies. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110265153 | Protection Against Unsolicited Communication - Methods and apparatus are disclosed to provide protection against Unsolicited Communication (UC) in a network, such as, without limitation, an Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). A communication may originate from a sending device and may be intended for delivery to a receiving device. A network may determine authentication information associated with the sending device. The network may send the authentication information to a receiving entity to evaluate if the communication is unsolicited using the authentication information. If the communication is determined to be acceptable, a connection associated with the communication may be allowed. | 10-27-2011 |
