The invention further relates to a network node for forwarding data packets based on a virtual access network identifier received with the data packets and by using a forwarding table for forwarding the data packets.

COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CORE NETWORK NODE, SYSTEM, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND METHODS FOR REROUTING NAS-MESSAGES

A system is described in which a default MME (9A) receives a NAS message (S501, S505) from a mobile device (3D); sends a rerouting request (S509) to a base station (5) serving the mobile device (3D) and includes information identifying a group of dedicated MMEs (9D) to which the NAS message should be rerouted. If none of the dedicated MMEs (9D) is available, then the default MME (9A) receives a message from the base station (5), the message rerouting the NAS message to the default MME (9A), instead of a dedicated MME (9D). The default MME (9A) either proceeds (S515a) to serving the mobile device (3D) or the default MME (9A) rejects (S515b) the NAS message.

20170374549 · 2017-12-28 ·

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). The various embodiments of the present invention disclose a method of secured transmission and reception of discovery message in device to device (D2D) communication system. According to one embodiment, a transmitting user equipment (UE) receives a ProSe group key (PGK) from a Prose function to perform a D2D communication in a D2D public safety group. The transmitting UE then derives a ProSe traffic key (PTK) using the PGK for transmitting data packets in the D2D communication. Using the PTK, the transmitting UE further derives a Prose integrity protection key (PIK) for securing a discovery message to discover one or more receiving UEs. The transmitting UE transmits the integrity protected discovery message using the derived PIK to the receiving UE. In turn, the receiving UE transmits a response message in a secure manner by deriving a PIK using PGK configured for the receiving UE. The various embodiments of the present invention disclose a method of a terminal. According to one embodiment, the method comprises of deriving a first traffic key and a second traffic key based on a group key, deriving a first security key for securing a discovery message based on the first traffic key and a second security key for securing data packets based on the second traffic key, and transmitting the discovery message generated based on the first security key.
