  • Publication number: 20090170477
    Abstract: A method to mask static cell identifiers or static location area codes of a mobile network a mobile terminal and a masking module integrated in equipment belonging to the architecture of the network under consideration, of generating all or part of dynamic cell identifiers or dynamic location area codes from static identifiers or codes so as to make their geographical conversion impossible for an outside service other than services authenticated by the operator. The disclosed embodiments propose a masking device to mask static identifiers or codes including either a module masking static identifiers or codes, integrated in a BSC for GPS or GPRS or in a RNC for UMTS, or another masking module masking all or part of the static identifiers or codes integrated in network equipment close to the operator's platform.

  • Publication number: 20040157584
    Abstract: The method for establishing and managing a trust relationship between an identification module and a radio terminal comprises a terminal authentication step by said identification module done by using authentication means such as a key, said authentication means being provided to at least said identification module by a mobile radio-telephony network at the time of an initialization step or the like or at the time of a so-called updating.

  • Publication number: 20040047332
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process and a system for subscription sharing between a plurality of radiotelephone terminals (20a to 20e), with a unique telephone number associated with the plurality of terminals. In particular, the process is characterised in that it includes a first step wherein a manager shares out a period of access to a radiotelephony network, under the subscription, into time slots and wherein the manager allocates specific time slots to each terminal (20a to 20e), the time slots allocated to the different terminals (20a to 20e) not overlapping, a second step wherein the time slots specific to each terminal (20a to 20e) are transmitted (53a, 53b) from one or more synchronisation servers (1) to each terminal (20a to 20e), and a third step wherein the specific time slots are stored in the memory of each terminal (20a to 20e) to which said time slots have been allocated. The invention also relates to a system allowing the process to be implemented.
