Abstract

A method for performing communication in a wireless communication system in includes establishing, by a network entity, a context of a user equipment (UE) in a network, receiving a message for registration request from the UE in a registered state, identifying that the UE is genuine by executing an authentication procedure with the UE, and in case that the UE is genuine, performing a deletion of the established context of the UE and a process of the registration request.

Claims (18)

1. A method for a network entity performing communication in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a UE in a first registered state, a message for a second registration request;

determining whether the UE is a genuine UE, which has already been in the first registered state, by executing an authentication procedure with the UE;

in case that the UE is the genuine UE, deleting established context associated with the first registered state, and establishing a new context associated with the second registration request; and

in case that the UE is not the genuine UE, maintaining the established context associated with the first registered state.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first registered state is one of: an Evolved Packet System (EPS) Mobility Management (EMM)-registered state or a 5th generation system (5GS) mobility management (5GMM)-registered state.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the established context associated with the first registered state includes at least one of: Evolved Packet System (EPS) Mobility Management (EMM) context, EPS bearer contexts, or 5th generation system (5GS) mobility management (5GMM) context.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the executing of the authentication procedure is performed when the message for the second registration request is a registration request message with a 5th generation system (5GS) registration type IE set to “initial registration” or an attach request message.

5. A network entity for performing communication in a wireless communication system, the network entity comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a UE in a first registered state, a message for a second registration;

determine whether the UE is a genuine UE, which has already been in the first registered state, by executing an authentication procedure with the UE;

in case that the UE is the genuine UE, delete established context associated with the first registered state, and establishing a new context associated with the second registration request; and

in case that the UE is not the genuine UE, maintain the established context associated with the first registered state.

6. The network entity of claim 5 , wherein the first registered state is one of: an Evolved Packet System (EPS) Mobility Management (EMM)-registered state or a 5th generation system (5GS) mobility management (5GMM)-registered state.

7. The network entity of claim 5 , wherein the established context associated with the first registered state includes at least one of: Evolved Packet System (EPS) Mobility Management (EMM) context, EPS bearer contexts, or 5th generation system (5GS) mobility management (5GMM) context.

8. The network entity of claim 5 , wherein executing the authentication procedure is performed when the message for the second registration request is a registration request message with a 5th generation system (5GS) registration type IE set to “initial registration” or an attach request message.
