Patent number: 9717044Abstract: The present disclosure proposes a method of setting an attach attempt counter value by a network applicable under the circumstance when a UE attempts to attach to a network control entity of the network. The proposed method would include the UE transmitting an attach request message to a network. After transmitting the attach request message, the UE may receive an attach reject message in response to an attach failure. The attach reject message would contain an attach attempt counter value set by the network so as to generate a received attach attempt counter value which would overwrite whatever value that was currently stored in the attach attempt counter. The UE could then determine whether to continue attempting to attach to the network according to the attach attempt counter value received from the attach reject message.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2014Date of Patent: July 25, 2017Assignee: Acer IncorporatedInventor: Sathiyakeerthi Madasamy
