Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for determining a time to perform an update. One method ( 900 ) includes transmitting ( 902 ) first information indicating an initial value. The method ( 900 ) includes transmitting ( 904 ) second information indicating an update interval corresponding to the initial value. The method ( 900 ) includes updating ( 906 ) an identifier at a time determined based on the initial value and the update interval.

Claims (37)

1. A method of performing a network function, the method comprising:

transmitting first information indicating an initial value associated with a start time for an update;

transmitting second information indicating an update interval associated with the initial value; and

updating an identifier at a time determined according to a sum of the initial value and the update interval.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein updating the identifier comprises:

updating the identifier using a function determined based on the initial value and the update interval.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the initial value comprises an initial counter value, an initial time value, or a random value.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the update interval comprises a pattern for altering the initial value to determine an updated value.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the update interval comprises an update time period, and wherein updating the identifier is based on the update time period lapsing.

6. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving first information indicating an initial value associated with a start time for an update;

receiving second information indicating an update interval associated with the initial value; and

updating an identifier at a time determined according to a sum of the initial value and the update interval.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein updating the identifier comprises:

updating the identifier using a function determined based on the initial value and the update interval.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the initial value comprises an initial counter value, an initial time value, or a random value.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the update interval comprises a pattern for altering the initial value to determine an updated value.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the update interval comprises an update time period, and wherein updating the identifier is based on the update time period lapsing.

11. A user equipment (UE), comprising:

at least one memory; and

at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the UE to:

receive first information indicating an initial value associated with a start time for an update;

receive second information indicating an update interval associated with the initial value; and

update an identifier at a time determined according to a sum of the initial value and the update interval.

12. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the UE to update the identifier using a function determined based on the initial value and the update interval.

13. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the initial value comprises an initial counter value, an initial time value, or a random value.

14. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the update interval comprises a pattern for altering the initial value to determine an updated value.

15. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the update interval comprises an update time period, and the at least one processor is configured to cause the UE to update the identifier based on the update time period lapsing.

16. A processor for wireless communication, comprising:

at least one controller coupled with at least one memory and configured to cause the processor to:

receive first information indicating an initial value associated with a start time for an update;

receive second information indicating an update interval associated with the initial value; and

update an identifier at a time determined according to a sum of the initial value and the update interval.

17. The processor of claim 16 , wherein the at least one controller is configured to cause the processor to update the identifier using a function determined based on the initial value and the update interval.

18. The processor of claim 16 , wherein the initial value comprises an initial counter value, an initial time value, or a random value.

19. The processor of claim 16 , wherein the update interval comprises a pattern for altering the initial value to determine an updated value.

20. The processor of claim 16 , wherein the update interval comprises an update time period, and the at least one controller is configured to cause the processor to update the identifier based on the update time period lapsing.
