Methods and system for transmitting a temporary identifier
Various implementations of a method for transmitting a temporary identifier involve a wireless communication device: transmitting a first portion of a temporary identifier of the wireless communication device to a radio access network in a first message; and transmitting a second portion of the temporary identifier to the radio access network in a second message.
1. A method for Fifth-Generation (5G) wireless communication, comprising:
transmitting, by a wireless communication device, a first portion of a temporary identifier of the wireless communication device to a radio access network in a radio resource control connection request message, wherein the first portion is a plurality of least significant bits of the temporary identifier, and wherein the temporary identifier comprises a temporary mobile subscriber identity (TMSI), an access and mobility management function pointer, and an access and mobility management function set identifier, and wherein the temporary identifier is a 5G-S-TMSI; and
transmitting, by the wireless communication device, a second portion of the temporary identifier to the radio access network in a radio resource control connection setup complete message, wherein the second portion is a plurality of most significant bits of the temporary identifier,
wherein the method further comprising receiving, from the radio access network, a common control channel message including the first portion.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the temporary mobile subscriber identity (TMSI) is a 5G-TMSI of 32 bit length.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the temporary identifier is represented as <5G-S-TMSI>=<AMF Set ID><AMF Pointer><5G-TMSI>.
4. A method for Fifth-Generation (5G) wireless communication, comprising:
receiving, by a node in a radio access network, in a radio resource control connection request message from a wireless communication device, a first portion of a temporary identifier of the wireless communication device, wherein the first portion is a plurality of least significant bits of the temporary identifier, and wherein the temporary identifier comprises a temporary mobile subscriber identity (TMSI), an access and mobility management function pointer, and an access and mobility management function set identifier, and wherein the temporary identifier is a 5G-S-TMSI; and
receiving, by the node, in a radio resource control connection setup complete message from the wireless communication device, a second portion of the temporary identifier, wherein the second portion is a plurality of most significant bits of the temporary identifier,
wherein the method further comprises transmitting, to the wireless communication device, a common control channel message including the first portion.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the temporary mobile subscriber identity (TMSI) is a 5G-TMSI of 32 bit length.
6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the temporary identifier is represented as <5G-S-TMSI>=<AMF Set ID><AMF Pointer><5G-TMSI>.
7. An apparatus for Fifth-Generation (5G) wireless communication, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory including processor executable code, wherein the processor executable code upon execution by the processor configures the processor to:
transmit a first portion of a temporary identifier of the apparatus to a radio access network in a radio resource control connection request message, wherein the first portion is a plurality of least significant bits of the temporary identifier, and wherein the temporary identifier comprises a temporary mobile subscriber identity (TMSI), an access and mobility management function pointer, and an access and mobility management function set identifier, and wherein the temporary identifier is a 5G-S-TMSI; and
transmit a second portion of the temporary identifier to the radio access network in a radio resource control connection setup complete message, wherein the second portion is a plurality of most significant bits of the temporary identifier,
wherein the processor is further configured to receive, from the radio access network, a common control channel message including the first portion.
8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the temporary mobile subscriber identity (TMSI) is a 5G-TMSI of 32 bit length.
9. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the temporary identifier is represented as <5G-S-TMSI>=<AMF Set ID><AMF Pointer><5G-TMSI>.
10. An apparatus for Fifth-Generation (5G) wireless communication, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory including processor executable code, wherein the processor executable code upon execution by the processor configures the processor to:
receive, in a radio resource control connection request message from a wireless communication device, a first portion of a temporary identifier of the wireless communication device, wherein the first portion is a plurality of least significant bits of the temporary identifier, and wherein the temporary identifier comprises a temporary mobile subscriber identity (TMSI), an access and mobility management function pointer, and an access and mobility management function set identifier, and wherein the temporary identifier is a 5G-S-TMSI; and
receive, in a radio resource control connection setup complete message from the wireless communication device, a second portion of the temporary identifier, wherein the second portion is a plurality of most significant bits of the temporary identifier,
wherein the processor is configured to transmit, to the wireless communication device, a common control channel message including the first portion.
11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the temporary mobile subscriber identity (TMSI) is a 5G-TMSI of 32 bit length.
12. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the temporary identifier is represented as <5G-S-TMSI>=<AMF Set ID><AMF Pointer><5G-TMSI>.
