A device comprising: a memory configured to store instructions; and a processor configured to execute the instructions to: generate a representation value based on protocol data unit (PDU) header data and payload data of a PDU; generate a message authentication code based on the representation value; and include the message authentication code in the PDU.

Abstract: This invention introduces methods and mechanisms of partial integrity protection in mobile systems. A user equipment (UE), comprising: a memory configured to store instructions; and a processor configured to execute the instructions to: receive, from a network device, user plane data having integrity protection; send an error indication indicating an integrity protection error relating to the user plane data; and receive retransmitted user plane data from the network device with a reduced data rate, based on the error indication.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to authentication methods supported by the User Equipment (UE) to the core network and authentication method (selected by the core network) to the UE.

An edge portion of the light passing opening on a side of the power transmission member or an edge portion on a side opposite to the side of the power transmission member is formed by the blade group.

Abstract: A communication terminal (10) includes control means for generating a subscription concealed identifier (SUCI) including a subscription permanent identifier (SUPI) concealed using a predetermined protection scheme, and a protection scheme identifier identifying the protection scheme, and transmission means for sending the SUCI to a first network apparatus during a registration procedure, the SUCI being sent for a second network apparatus to de-conceal the SUPI from the SUCI based on the protection scheme used to generate the SUCI.

Abstract: In an example, a wireless communication system and apparatuses thereof are described. In an example long-term evolution (LTE) network, a first base station hands over a connection to a second base station. The first base station may be a (femto) home eNodeB (HeNB) or (macro) eNodeB. The second base station may also be a HeNB or eNodeB connected to a different gateway. The first base station may send “Handover Request” on an X2 connection, identifying the gateway that the second base station is connected to as the correct gateway. After sending a “Handover Request Acknowledgement,” the second base station correctly establishes a tunnel to a connected gateway device.

Abstract: A blade driving device includes an opening forming member forming an opening portion, a pivotal member pivoting about the opening portion, blades configured to enter or exit from the opening portion upon receiving power transmitted from the pivotal member, a cover member arranged so that the pivotal member and the plurality of blades are located between the cover and the opening forming member, and engaging portions engaging the of blades with the opening forming member. The pivotal member comes into slidable contact with the engaging portions in a process of pivoting. A pivotal position of the pivotal member with respect to the opening forming member is defined by the engaging portions.

Abstract: A method, performed by a multi-cell/multicast coordination entity (MCE) in a communication system in which a plurality of member user equipments (UEs) can engage in group communication, includes obtaining information about a supported multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) mechanism of a member UE of the plurality of member UEs. The obtained information is used to select a multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) mechanism for a base station (eNB). The selected MBMS mechanism is notified to an application server.
