Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless access system, and more particularly, to methods and apparatus for notifying authenticity information of a caller identifier (ID) in a wireless access system, comprising: receiving, from a second network node, a first call message including a caller ID of a second UE (UE 2 ), determining whether the caller ID of UE 2 has been authenticated or not by detecting a trust level of authenticity information in the first call message, and transmitting, to a first UE (UE 1 ), a second call message including the caller ID and an indication message indicating one or authentication levels out of an authenticated, a spoofed, or an unauthenticated level, wherein the authenticated indicates the caller ID is authenticity and the spoofed indicates the caller ID is not guaranteed to correspond to the UE 2.

Claims (24)

1. A method for notifying authenticity information of a caller identifier (ID) in a wireless access system, the method performed by a first network node and comprising:

receiving, from a second network node, a first call message including a caller ID of a second user equipment (UE 2 );

determining whether the caller ID of UE 2 has been authenticated or not by detecting a trust level of authenticity information in the first call message; and

transmitting, to a first user equipment (UE 1 ), a second call message including the caller ID and an indication message indicating one of authentication levels out of an authenticated, a spoofed, or an unauthenticated level,

wherein the authenticated indicates the caller ID is authenticity and the spoofed indicates the caller ID is not guaranteed to correspond to the UE 2 .

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the caller ID is a Mobile Station International Subscriber Directory Number (MSISDN) or the caller ID is information representing what is the UE 2 .

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the indication message is set to the unauthenticated level when the authenticity information has not been detected or the caller ID is not guaranteed to correspond to the UE 2 .

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the level of the authenticated or the spoofed is selected according to the detected authenticity information.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the authenticity information is derived by comparing an UE ID with the caller ID of the UE 2 .

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the authenticity information indicates multiple level of trust information as one of (1) fully authenticated caller ID with a caller ID integrity protected, (2) authenticated caller ID with no caller ID integrity protected, or (3) not authenticated caller ID.

7. An apparatus for notifying authenticity information of a caller identifier (ID) in a wireless access system, the apparatus comprising:

a receiver;

a transmitter; and

a processor supporting the notifying authenticity information,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive, via the receiver from a second network node, a first call message including a caller ID of a second user equipment (UE 2 );

determine whether the caller ID of UE 2 has been authenticated or not by detecting authentication information in the first call message; and

transmit, via the transmitter to a first user equipment (UE 1 ), a second call message including the caller ID and an indication message indicating one of authentication levels out of an authenticated, a spoofed, or an unauthenticated level,

wherein the authenticated indicates the caller ID is authenticity and the spoofed indicates the caller ID is not guaranteed to correspond to the UE 2 .

8. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the caller ID is a Mobile Station International Subscriber Directory Number (MSISDN) or the caller ID is information representing what is the UE 2 .

9. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the indication message is set to the unauthenticated level when the authenticity information has not been detected or the caller ID is not guaranteed to correspond to the UE 2 .

10. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the level of the authenticated or the spoofed is selected according to the detected authenticity information.

11. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the authenticity information is derived by comparing an UE ID with the caller ID of the UE 2 .

12. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the authenticity information indicates multiple level of trust information as one of (1) fully authenticated caller ID with a caller ID integrity protected, (2) authenticated caller ID with no caller ID integrity protected, or (3) not authenticated caller ID.
