Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for managing a Virtual Machine (VM) in a mobile communication system. Upon receiving a VM provisioning request message from a 3rd party entity, an Edge Cloud-Radio Access Network (EC-RAN) VM control command message, indicating that the Edge Cloud Management Controller (ECMC) commands a VM provisioning, is transmitted to an Edge Cloud Manager (ECM). An EC-RAN VM control command Ack message is received, including information indicating whether a VM host, which the EC-RAN VM control command message targets, accepts or rejects the EC-RAN VM control command message, and including a VM instance ID allocated to the VM host. A VM instance corresponding to the VM instance ID is registered and a status of the VM instance is set as an allocation status, after the EC-RAN VM control command Ack message is received from the ECM.

Abstract: A method and system for authenticating in a wireless communication system. The system includes a Mobile Terminal (MT), an authenticator, and an Authentication, Authorization, Accounting (AAA) server. When the authenticator requests NAI information for authentication, the MT adds an authentication code to the NAI, and sends a response message including the NAI information to the authenticator. The authenticator relays the NAI to which the authentication code is added, to the AAA server. The AAA server extracts the authentication code from the NAI information, verifies the authentication of the MT, generates a new authentication key, and transmits the new authentication key to the authenticator.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for transmitting and receiving a paging message in a wireless communication system are provided. A Base Station (BS) transmits, to a Mobile Station (MS) in an idle mode, a Paging Group IDentification Information (PGID_Info) message including paging group information for a paging group to which the BS belongs, and frequency band-specific paging carrier information for indicating at least one of paging carriers included in each of a plurality of frequency bands operated by the BS. The BS determines a paging carrier for transmitting the paging message among paging carriers included in a frequency band supported by the MS, and transmits the paging message to the MS using the determined paging carrier. By doing so, reception of the paging message in the frequency band supported by the MS is guaranteed, thereby preventing the unnecessary location update procedure.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for generating a security key in a mobile communication system that performs security key generation. An Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) server generates a Master Session Key (MSK) and an Enhanced MSK (EMSK) from a Long Term Credential key, and a Device-MSK (D-MSK), a User-MSK (U-MSK) and a Device and User-MSK (DU-MSK) from the MSK and the EMSK. An Access Gateway (AG) generates a Root-MSK (R-MSK) from the MSK and EMSK received from the AAA server. A Signaling Radio Network Controller (SRNC) generates a Pairwise Master Key (PMK) from the R-MSK received from the AG, and a Traffic Session Key (TSK) from the PMK. A Base Station (BS) sets up a radio connection to a Mobile Station (MS) using the TSK received from the SRNC, and performs radio communication using the set radio connection. The MS generates an MSK and an EMSK, and generates there from a D-MSK, a U-MSK, a DU-MSK, an R-MSK, a PMK, an SRK and a TSK, to perform radio communication with the BS.

Abstract: A method and a system for relocating an Access Service Network (ASN) of a Mobile Station (MS) in a communication system are provided. In the method, when an MS that operates in an idle mode moves from a first ASN to a second ASN, the MS transmits a ranging request message to a base station of the second ASN in order to update a location. The base station transmits a location update request message to an ASN-GateWay (GW) of the second ASN according to the ranging request message. When the location update request message is received, the ASN-GW transmits a relocation notify message including type information for location update to the first ASN. The first ASN transmits a relocation notify response message including paging information to the ASN-GW according to the relocation notify message.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing device authentication and user authentication in a mobile communication network are provided. A connection is established between an MS and an SRNC that controls communications of the MS through a BS. The SRNC receives a D-MSK for device authentication of the MS from an AAA server that has completed an EAP negotiation with the MS and stores the D-MSK by the SRNC, when the BS triggers an EAP authentication after the connection establishment. The SRNC receives an R-MSK from an AG and stores the R-MSK after the connection establishment. The R-MSK is generated using a U-MSK for user authentication of the MS received from the AAA server by the AG. The SRNC generates a PMK for use during a session using at least one of the D-MSK and the R-MSK, and one of the BS and the SRNC generate a key set using the PMK, for use in at least one of data encryption, data integrity check, and session management during the session.

Abstract: Disclosed are a system and a method for controlling wireless network access information in using a removable external modem. These relates to a case where a removable external modem among devices for a wireless access server (e.g. WiMAX) is connected with a host customer electronics (CE) device so as to be used. Particularly, in a case where the removable external modem, which has no information for accessing a specific network, e.g. operator Lock, a roaming list, a credential, operator ID, etc., when it is introduced, receives network access information through initial access, registration, and provisioning step, and is connected to other device to be used, the modem can be directly connected to a network of an existing registered network communication provider without a separate supplementary registration or a provisioning step.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and a method for communication using different IPs, i.e. a mobile IP supporting mobility and a simple IP, according to the service by a UE. The method includes network initiated IP allocation (i.e. the network allocates different IPs to the UE) and UE initiated IP allocation (i.e. the UE directly requests an IP corresponding to a specific service). As such, the IP is selected and used based on consideration of continuity of the service to be supported by the UE.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for changing network interfaces in a multiaccess mobile terminal in a wireless communication system including a server for providing high-capacity data transmission service to a mobile terminal, and the terminal for receiving data from the server and supporting various network interfaces. Upon detecting handoff based on current air information received, an interface module reports a change in interface to a new air interface to an upper layer, and manages the mobile terminal such that traffic is transmitted to the new air interface. Upon receiving information on the new air interface from the interface module, a service module determines a bandwidth of the new air interface, generates a message based on the determined bandwidth, and transmits the generated message.
