Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method and apparatus for attaching a wireless device to a foreign wireless domain of a 3GPP communication system using an alternative authentication mechanism, wherein wireless device performs the method, which includes: sending a first attach request message to an infrastructure device in the foreign wireless domain; receiving an attach reject message from the infrastructure device upon an unsuccessful attempt to obtain authentication credentials for the wireless device from a home wireless domain of the wireless device using a standard 3GPP authentication mechanism; responsive to the attach reject message sending a second attach request message to the infrastructure device, wherein the second attach request message indicates an alternative authentication mechanism to the standard 3GPP authentication mechanism; and receiving an attach accept message from the infrastructure device when the wireless device is successfully authenticated using the alternative authentication mechanism.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A method for attaching a wireless device to a foreign wireless domain of a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) communication system using an alternative authentication mechanism, the method comprising: a wireless device, associated with a home wireless domain of a 3GPP communication system, performing: sending a first attach request message to an infrastructure device in a foreign wireless domain of the 3GPP communication system; receiving an attach reject m…
