Abstract: A wireless communications device is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the wireless communication device includes: a transceiver configured to facilitate communications with a radio access network; and a processing unit configured to: determine that a cell update message is to be transmitted to the network; determine if a security mode configuration procedure is in progress at the device; and if a security mode configuration procedure is not in progress, transmit a second type of cell update message to the network entity, the second type of cell update message not including an indicator indicating that the device has not had to abort an on-going security procedure and in place of said indicator including information not pertaining to a security procedure.

Abstract: A modem for use at a terminal, the modem comprising: a first interface arranged to connect to a communications network; a second interface arranged to connect to a host processor on the terminal; and a processing unit, the processing unit configured to: detect that a call is to be established over the communications network; in response to said detection, perform a call setup procedure; determine if the call setup procedure has been successful or has failed due to failure of a security procedure; and in response to determining that the call setup procedure has failed due to failure of a security procedure, repeat said call setup procedure without indicating failure of the call setup procedure to a user of said terminal.
