THE FOLLOWING SPECIFICATION PARTICULARLY DESCRIBES THE NATURE OF THIS INVENTION AND THE MANNER IN WHICH IT IS TO BE PERFORMED.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present subject matter relates to communication procedures in communication networks including cellular communication networks and, more particularly, to integrity failure and recovery procedures in a communication network.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The Registration procedure is a vital step in 5G networks where the User Equipment (UE) establishes initial access and connectivity with the core network by registering itself with the Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF). During registration, the UE provides essential information like identity, location, capabilities, and authentication credentials to the AMF. The AMF verifies these credentials and authorizes the UE's network access, enabling the establishment of a connection with the 5G core network. This connection allows the UE to engage in subsequent communication and access various services, indicating that the UE is in a connected state.
[0003] In the connected state, the UE transmits multiple data packets to the AMF for processing. Upon receiving a data packet, the AMF performs an integrity check on the packet. If the integrity check passes, the packet proceeds for further processing. However, if an integrity failure occurs and the check fails, indicating potential data corruption or tampering, the AMF discards the packet to prevent the propagation of compromised data throughout the network. One drawback is that in conventional integrity failure mechanisms, the UE may be configured to attempt a predetermined number of retransmissions to recover from the failure. This approach can be time-consuming, especially when a large number of retransmissions are attempted, leading to increased signaling overhead and related costs in the communication network.
[0004] Thus, there is a need for a solution which addresses the above mentioned shortcomings.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] One or more embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system and method for performing recovery in a telecommunication network.
[0006] In one aspect of the present invention, a system for network initiated de-registration process for a user equipment (UE) to enable recovery procedure is disclosed. The system includes a registering unit configured to register the User Equipment (UE) with an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) based on a request received from the UE.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0019] Some embodiments of the present disclosure, illustrating all its features, will now be discussed in detail. It must also be noted that as used herein and in the appended claims, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" include plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
[0020] Various modifications to the embodiment will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art and the generic principles herein may be applied to other embodiments. However, one of ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize that the present disclosure including the definitions listed here below are not intended to be limited to the embodiments illustrated but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and features described herein.
[0021] A person of ordinary skill in the art will readily ascertain that the illustrated steps detailed in the figures and here below are set out to explain the exemplary embodiments shown, and it should be anticipated that ongoing technological development will change the manner in which particular functions are performed. These examples are presented herein for purposes of illustration, and not limitation. Further, the boundaries of the functional building blocks have been arbitrarily defined herein for the convenience of the description. Alternative boundaries can be defined so long as the specified functions and relationships thereof are appropriately performed. Alternatives (including equivalents, extensions, variations, deviations, etc., of those described herein) will be apparent to persons skilled in the relevant art(s) based on the teachings contained herein. Such alternatives fall within the scope and spirit of the disclosed embodiments.
[0022] The Registration procedure is an essential process in communication networks, such as 5G networks, where the User Equipment (UE) establishes initial access and connectivity with the core network. The UE initiates the Registration procedure to register itself with the Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), which is a component of the 5G core network.
[0023] During the Registration procedure, the UE provides necessary information to the AMF, such as its identity, location, capabilities, and authentication credentials. The AMF verifies the UE's credentials and initiates the necessary procedures to authorize the UE's access to the network. This process allows the UE to establish a connection with the 5G core network and enables subsequent communication and services. After successful registration, the UE is said to be in a connected state.
[0024] Post establishment of the connection between the UE and the AMF, the UE in the connected state may transmit a plurality of data packets to the AMF, which are processed by the AMF. At the AMF, as and when a data packet is received an integrity check on the data packet is performed. In case the integrity check is passed, the data packet is processed further. Whereas, in case the integrity check is failed, in other words, an integrity failure occurs, the packet at the AMF is dropped.
[0025] In the conventional integrity failure mechanisms, the UE may be configured to attempt a predetermined number of retransmissions of the data packet in order to recover. As may be understood, the same may be a time-consuming task, for example, when the UE is configured to attempt lets, say, a large number of retransmissions in the event of a integrity failure at the AMF. Furthermore, such large number of retransmissions may also increase the signaling overheads and relates costs in the communication network.
[0026] According to an embodiment of the present subject matter, the AMF may be configured to put the UE in an Idle state when a packet integrity failure occurs at the AMF. Now, when the AMF pages the UE during a data operation, such as an MT data operation, and the UE responds with an idle procedure request, such as Mobility Request (MR), Periodic registration Request (PR), Scheduling Request (SR), and Deregistration (DeReg) request, the integrity failure will occur and the state of the UE would be idle. Based on the idle procedure request received from the UE, the AMF may be configured to initiate re-authentication procedure or a registration procedure.
[0027] The aforementioned procedures initiated by the AMF may subsequently result in recovery of the UE. Thus, the scenario where large number of retransmissions occur are avoided. As a result, signaling overheads and related operations costs are also reduced.
[0028] FIG. 1 illustrates a network architecture of a system for network initiated de-registration process for a user equipment (UE) to enable recovery procedure. The network architecture comprises a plurality of User Equipment (UE) 102-1, 102-2,……,102-n. At least one of the UE 102-1 through 102-n may be configured to connect to a server 105.

[0044] System Information Blocks (SIBs) are messages broadcast by a base station (eNodeB in LTE, NodeB in UMTS, or eNB in 5G) to provide essential information to mobile devices (UEs) in a cellular network. SIBs contain network-related information necessary for UEs to access and operate within the network efficiently. These blocks are periodically transmitted over broadcast channels, allowing UEs to receive and decode them even when they are not actively engaged in communication.
[0045] In the context of mobile networks, specifically in the LTE (Long-Term Evolution) and 5G architectures, the Mobility Management Entity (MME) is a key network element responsible for managing mobility-related functions for user equipment (UE) or mobile devices. The MME is part of the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) network in LTE and the 5G Core (5GC) network in 5G, serving as a control plane entity that handles signaling and control procedures for mobility management.
[0046] Operational and construction features of the system 125 will be explained in detail successively with respect to different figures. FIG. 2 illustrates a block diagram of the system 125 for performing recovery in a telecommunication network, according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0047] As per the illustrated embodiment, the system 125 includes one or more processors 205, a memory 210, and an input/output interface unit 215. The one or more processors 205, hereinafter referred to as the processor 205, may be implemented as one or more microprocessors, microcomputers, microcontrollers, digital signal processors, central processing units, state machines, logic circuitries, single board computers, and/or any devices that manipulate signals based on operational instructions. As per the illustrated embodiment, the system 125 includes the processor 205. However, it is to be noted that the system 125 may include multiple processors as per the requirement and without deviating from the scope of the present disclosure. Among other capabilities, the processor 205 is configured to fetch and execute computer-readable instructions stored in the memory 210. The memory 210 may be configured to store one or more computer-readable instructions or routines in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, which may be fetched and executed to create or share data packets over a network service. The memory 210 may include any non-transitory storage device including, for example, volatile memory such as RAM, or non-volatile memory such as EPROM, flash memory, and the like.
[0048] In an embodiment, the input/output (I/O) interface unit 215 includes a variety of interfaces, for example, interfaces for data input and output devices, referred to as Input/Output (I/O) devices, storage devices, and the like. The I/O interface unit 215 facilitates communication of the system 125. In one embodiment, the I/O interface unit 215 provides a communication pathway for one or more components of the system 125. Examples of such components include, but are not limited to, the UE 102, a database 220, and a distributed cache 225.
[0049] The database 220 is one of, but is not limited to, a centralized database, a cloud-based database, a commercial database, an open-source database, a distributed database, an end-user database, a graphical database, a No-Structured Query Language (NoSQL) database, an object-oriented database, a personal database, an in-memory database, a document-based database, a time series database, a wide column database, a key value database, a search database, a cache database, and so forth. The foregoing examples of the database 220 types are non-limiting and may not be mutually exclusive e.g., a database can be both commercial and cloud-based, or both relational and open-source, etc.
[0050] The distributed cache 225 is a pool of Random-Access Memory (RAM) of multiple networked computers into a single in-memory data store for use as a data cache to provide fast access to data. The distributed cache 225 is essential for applications that need to scale across multiple servers or are distributed geographically. The distributed cache 225 ensures that data is available close to where it’s needed, even if the original data source is remote or under heavy load.
[0051] Further, the processor 205, in an embodiment, may be implemented as a combination of hardware and programming (for example, programmable instructions) to implement one or more functionalities of the processor 205. In the examples described herein, such combinations of hardware and programming may be implemented in several different ways. For example, the programming for the processor 205 may be processor-executable instructions stored on a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium and the hardware for the processor 205 may comprise a processing resource (for example, one or more processors), to execute such instructions. In the present examples, the memory 210 may store instructions that, when executed by the processing resource, implement the processor 205. In such examples, the system 125 may comprise the memory 210 storing the instructions and the processing resource to execute the instructions, or the memory 210 may be separate but accessible to the system 125 and the processing resource. In other examples, the processor 205 may be implemented by electronic circuitry.
[0052] For the system/AMF 125 to perform recovery procedure, the processor 205 includes a registering unit 230 communicably coupled to the UE 102. The registering unit 230 registers the UE 102 with the system/AMF 125 based on a request received from the UE 102. The processor 205 further includes a transceiver unit 235 communicably coupled to the registering unit 230 for receiving a connection state request at the system/AMF 125. The connection state request is sent by the UE 102. While receiving the connection state request, integrity check procedures are performed to detect packet loss, or packet sequence mismatch between the UE 102 and the system/AMF 125. The processor 205 further includes a releasing unit 240 communicably coupled to the transceiver unit 235 for releasing the connection between the system/AMF 125 and the UE 102, using a release procedure. While releasing the connection, a release command is transmitted to a Radio Access Network (RAN) device configured to send a Radio Resource Control (RRC) release command to the UE 102. Based on the release command, connection to the UE 102 is terminated, and the RAN device transmits a release complete message to the system/AMF 125.
[0053] The processor 205 further includes a transceiver unit 250 communicably coupled to the releasing unit 240 for receiving an idle state response at the system/AMF 125 sent by the UE 102. The idle state response is sent corresponding to a data operation request that is Mobile Originated (MO) or Mobile Terminated (MT). Receiving the idle state response comprises at least one of Mobility Request (MR), Periodic registration Request (PR), Scheduling Request (SR), and Deregistration (DeReg) response. The processor 205 further includes a paging unit 245 communicably coupled to the transceiver unit 250 for sending a paging message from the AMF 125 to the UE 102 when the data operation request is MT. The processor 205 further includes an initiating unit 255 communicably coupled to the transceiver unit 250 for initiating a network procedure by the system/AMF 125 based on the idle state response received from the UE 102. To initiate the network procedure, a re-authentication procedure is initiated by the system/AMF 125 when the idle state response is MR/PR, the network procedure is a re-registration procedure initiated by the system/AMF 125 when the idle state response is SR, and an integrity failure may occur again at the AMF 125 when the network idle response is DeReg.
[0054] Referring to FIG. 3 illustrating a block diagram of the system 125 and the first UE 102-1 communicating with each other for performing the recovery procedure, a preferred embodiment of the system 125 is described. It is to be noted that the embodiment with respect to FIG. 3 will be explained with respect to the first UE 102-1 for the purpose of description and illustration and should nowhere be construed as limited to the scope of the present disclosure.
[0055] The first UE 102-1 includes one or more primary processors 305 communicably coupled to the processor 205 of the system 125. The one or more primary processors 305 are coupled with a memory unit 310 storing instructions which are executed by the one or more primary processors 305. Execution of the stored instructions by the one or more primary processors 305 enables the first UE 102-1 to send a request for registration, connection state request, and idle state response to the system/AMF 125. The first UE 102-1 further includes a kernel 315 which is a core component serving as the primary interface between hardware components of the first UE 102-1 and the plurality of services at the database 220. The kernel 315 is configured to provide the plurality of services on the first UE 102-1 to resources available in the communication network 110. The resources include one of a Central Processing Unit (CPU), memory components such as Random Access Memory (RAM) and Read Only Memory (ROM).
[0056] In the preferred embodiment, the registering unit 230 of the processor 205 is communicably connected to the kernel 315 of the first UE 102-1. The registering unit 230 is configured to register the UE 102 with the system/AMF 125 based on a request received at a transceiver unit 235 from the UE 102. The processor 205 further includes the transceiver unit 235 communicably coupled to the registering unit 230 for receiving a connection state request at the system/AMF 125. The connection state request is sent by the UE 102. While receiving the connection state request, integrity check procedures are performed to detect packet loss, or packet sequence mismatch between the UE 102 and the system/AMF 125. The processor 205 further includes a releasing unit 240 communicably coupled to the transceiver unit 235 for releasing the connection between the system/AMF 125 and the UE 102, using a release procedure. While releasing the connection, a release command is transmitted to a Radio Access Network (RAN) device configured to send a Radio Resource Control (RRC) release command to the UE 102. Based on the release command, connection to the UE 102 is terminated, and the RAN device transmits a release complete message to the system/AMF 125.
[0057] The processor 205 further includes a transceiver unit 250 communicably coupled to the releasing unit 240 for receiving an idle state response at the system/AMF 125 sent by the UE 102. Receiving the idle state response comprises at least one of Mobility Request (MR), Periodic registration Request (PR), Scheduling Request (SR), and Deregistration (DeReg) response. The idle state response is sent corresponding to a data operation request that is Mobile Originated (MO) or Mobile Terminated (MT). The processor 205 further includes a paging unit 245 communicably coupled to the transceiver unit 250 for sending a paging message from the AMF 125 to the UE 102 when the data operation request is MT. The processor 205 further includes an initiating unit 255 communicably coupled to the transceiver unit 250 for initiating a network procedure by the system/AMF 125 based on the idle state response received from the UE 102. To initiate the network procedure, a re-authentication procedure is initiated by the system/AMF 125 when the idle state response is MR/PR, or the network procedure is a re-registration procedure initiated by the system/AMF 125 when the idle state response is SR.
[0058] FIG. 4A illustrates a first timing diagram showing steps performed during a recovery procedure, according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. The steps have been described henceforth with reference to the communication occurring between the UE 102, the AMF 125, and a Radio Access Network (RAN) device 402.
[0059] At step 410, the UE 102 performs a registration procedure for registering itself with the AMF 125. The process of registration of the UE 102 with the AMF 125 typically involves several steps, ensuring authentication, authorization, and establishing a session for the UE to access network services. Typically, one or more of the below mentioned steps are involved.
a) Random access procedure: The UE 102 sends a random access request to the nearest base station (gNB in 5G), indicating its desire to access the network. This request includes information like the UE's identity and capabilities.
b) RACH procedure: The gNB receives the random access request and allocates resources for the UE 102 to transmit its registration request.
c) Registration request: The UE 102 sends a registration request message, typically referred to as an Initial Registration Setup Request, to the gNB. This message contains essential information about the UE, such as its identity, capabilities, and requested services.
d) Authentication and security: The gNB forwards the registration request to the AMF 125 in the core network. The AMF 125 authenticates the UE 102 using authentication mechanisms such as the Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA) protocol.
e) Subscription check: The AMF 125 verifies the UE's subscription information to ensure that it is authorized to access the requested services using one or more core network node.
f) Session establishment: If authentication and authorization are successful, the AMF 125 initiates the session establishment process using the session management function (SMF). This involves allocating resources and establishing context for the UE 102 within the network.
g) Registration acceptance: The AMF 125 sends a registration acceptance message back to the gNB, indicating that the registration process was successful.
[0060] Once the UE 102 is successfully registered, the UE 102 is said to be in a connected state. Subsequently, the UE 102 may transmit Protocol Data Units (PDUs) or data packets to the AMF 125, which are subsequently processed by the AMF 125.
[0061] In one scenario, some packet loss and/or some uplink sequence number mismatch may occur between the UE 102 and the AMF 125. Accordingly, at step 420, when the UE 102 transmits a connected state request to the AMF 125, an integrity failure occurs at the AMF 125. For example, the UE 102 may transmit an Uplink NAS transport request to the AMF 125. On receiving the request, the AMF 125 may perform an integrity check, and determine a packet loss/mismatch, which results in integrity failure.
[0062] At step 430, the AMF 125 transmits a release command to the RAN device 402. Subsequently, the RAN device 402 may transmit a Radio Resource Control (RRC) release command to the UE 102, at step 440. In response to receiving the RRC release command, the UE 102 may release the connection with the network. Once the UE 102 releases the connection with the network, the RAN device 402 may transmit a release complete message to the AMF 125. In an example, the AMF 106 may receive the release complete message, at step 450. Thus, a state of the UE 102 at the AMF 125 is registered as idle.
[0063] Although the release procedure for releasing the connection between the AMF 125 and the UE 102 is described briefly above, typically the procedure involves one or more of the below steps.
a) UE initiation: The UE 102 initiates the release process by sending a request to release the connection to the network. This could be triggered by the user powering off the device, moving out of coverage, or explicitly terminating a session.
b) Release request: The UE 102 sends a release request message to the AMF 125, indicating its intention to terminate the connection. This message typically includes information about the reason for the release.
c) Context release: The AMF 125 receives the release request and initiates the context release procedure. This involves releasing the resources allocated for the UE 102 session and removing its context from the network.
d) Session termination: The AMF 125 sends messages to relevant network elements, such as the serving gateway (SGW) and packet data network gateway (PGW), to release the session and associated resources.
e) Release acknowledgment: Once the context release procedure is completed, the AMF sends a release acknowledgment message back to the UE 102, confirming that the connection has been terminated successfully.
f) UE cleanup: Upon receiving the release acknowledgment, the UE 102 performs any necessary cleanup actions, such as releasing radio resources and closing network interfaces.
g) User notification: If necessary, the UE 102 may notify the user about the successful release of the connection.
h) Network cleanup: The network elements involved in the UE 102 session release process perform cleanup actions to release any remaining resources associated with the session.
i) Session deletion: The AMF 125 removes the UE's session context from its databases, ensuring that no further communication is possible with the released UE 102.
j) Idle state: After the release process is completed, the UE 102 enters an idle state, where it may remain until it initiates a new connection or moves to a new location requiring network access.
[0064] Successively, the AMF 125 may receive a data operation request, at step 455. The data operation request may be Mobile Terminated (MT) and issued by a Digital Data Network (DDN) 404. An MT data operation refers to the process of transmitting data from a network server or application to a user equipment. This data transmission is typically initiated by a network entity and terminated at the mobile device. MT data operation is commonly used for various applications and services, including messaging, push notifications, remote device management, software updates, and real-time data delivery.
[0065] In response to the data operation request, the AMF 125 sends a paging message to the RAN device 402, at step 460. Accordingly, the RAN device 402 transmits a RRC paging message to the UE 102, at step 470.
[0066] Paging involves the process of locating and notifying the UE 102 when there is incoming data or a call directed to it. This is managed by the AMF 125 in 5G Core network. Typically, a paging procedure involves one or more of the below steps:
a) Paging decision: Based on the UE's recorded location and the area where the data or call needs to be delivered, the AMF 125 decides which cell(s) need to be paged to reach the UE 102.
b) Paging message generation: The AMF 125 generates paging messages containing information about the UE and the reason for paging (e.g., incoming data, incoming call).
c) Paging transmission: The generated paging messages are sent to the base stations (gNBs) serving the identified cells where the UE 102 might be located.
d) Paging broadcast: The base stations broadcast the paging messages over the air interface within their coverage area.
e) UE Monitoring: The UE 102 monitors the broadcasted paging messages while in its idle state, periodically waking up to check for incoming pages.
f) UE Response: If the UE 102 detects a paging message addressed to it, it responds by initiating a service request procedure to establish the necessary connection with the network.
g) Service Establishment: Upon receiving the UE's service request, the network establishes the necessary session and delivers the requested service (e.g., data transfer, call setup).
h) Confirmation: The network confirms the successful establishment of the requested service to both the UE 102 and the originating entity (e.g., another UE, application server).
[0067] In another scenario, the data operation request may be Mobile Originated (MO), at step 455, as shown in FIG. 4B illustrating a second timing diagram. An MO data operation refers to the process of transmitting data from a user equipment to a network server. This data transmission is typically initiated by the user equipment and terminated at the network entity. MO data operation is commonly used for various applications and services, including messaging, push notifications, remote device management, software updates, and real-time data delivery. When the data operation request is MO, the AMF 125 is not required to send any paging message.
[0068] Corresponding to the data operation request, the UE 102 sends an idle state response to the AMF 125, at step 480. The idle state response may be an MR/PR/SR/DeReg. The idle state response sent by the UE 102 is received by the AMF 125. At the AMF 125, an integrity failure may occur again during the idle state response. In such condition, since the UE 102 is in an idle state, based on the idle state response, the AMF 125 may initiate a network procedure. For instance, in an example where the network idle response is MR or PR, the AMF 125 may initiate a re-authentication procedure. In another example, where the network idle response is SR, the AMF 125 may initiate a re-registration procedure. In yet another instance, where the network idle response is DeReg, an integrity failure may occur again at the AMF 125.
[0069] Upon initiation of the aforementioned procedures, recovery of the UE 102 is also triggered. Thus, the cumbersome and time consuming UE dependent recovery procedure, which entails large number of retransmissions, is averted. Further, overhead signaling is also reduced as less number of messages are required for recovery.
[0070] FIG. 5 illustrates a flow chart of a method 500 of performing recovery in a telecommunication network, according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. For the purpose of description, the method 500 is described with the embodiments as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 4 and should nowhere be construed as limiting the scope of the present disclosure. A person of ordinary skill in the art will readily ascertain that the illustrated steps are set out to explain the exemplary embodiments shown, and it should be anticipated that ongoing technological development will change the manner in which particular functions are performed. These examples are presented herein for purposes of illustration, and not limitation. Further, the boundaries of the functional building blocks have been arbitrarily defined herein for the convenience of the description. Alternative boundaries can be defined so long as the specified functions and relationships thereof are appropriately performed. Alternatives (including equivalents, extensions, variations, deviations, etc., of those described herein) will be apparent to persons skilled in the relevant art(s) based on the teachings contained herein. Such alternatives fall within the scope and spirit of the disclosed embodiments.
[0071] At step 505, the method 500 includes the step of registering a UE by an AMF based on a request received from the UE. In an example, the UE may seek to get into a connected mode and may accordingly send the request to the network. The request may include particulars or identifiers of the UE, amongst other things. The request may be processed by the AMF and after verification, the UE may be registered and may be said to be in a connected state. In an example, post the connection, there may occur a packet loss or sequence mismatch between the UE and the AMF.
[0072] At step 510, the method 500 includes the step of receiving, by the AMF, a connected state request sent by the UE. In an example, the connected state request may be an uplink NAS transport request. On receiving the request, the AMF may be configured to perform routine integrity check procedures. Now, since there has been a packet loss or sequence mismatch between the UE and the AMF, the integrity check procedure fails, resulting in an integrity failure at the AMF.
[0073] At step 515, the method 500 includes the step of initiating, by the AMF, a release procedure to release the connection with the UE. In an example, the AMF may transmit a release command to a RAN device. The RAN device in response may send a RRC release command to the UE. On receiving the RRC release command, the UE terminates the connection. Once the connection is terminated, the RAN device transmits a release complete message to the AMF.
[0074] At step 520, the method 500 includes the step of receiving a data operation request. The data operation request may be Mobile Originated (MO) or Mobile Terminated (MT). Paging procedure may be performed additionally when the data operation request is MT.
[0075] At step 525, the method 500 includes the step of receiving, by the AMF, an idle state response sent by the UE, corresponding to the data operation request. The idle state response may be an MR/PR/SR/DeReg response. At the AMF, again an integrity failure occurs when the idle state response is received and the method proceeds to step 530.
[0076] At step 530, the method 500 includes the step of initiating, by the AMF, a network procedure based on the idle state response received from the UE. In an example, the network procedure may be a re-authentication procedure initiated by the AMF when the idle state response is MR/PR. In another example, the network procedure may be a re-registration procedure initiated by the AMF when the idle state response is SR. An integrity failure may occur again at the AMF when the network idle response is DeReg. As a result of these procedures, the UE is recovered.
[0077] The present invention further discloses a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-readable instructions. The computer-readable instructions are executed by the processor 205. The processor 205 is configured to register the UE with an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) based on a request received from the UE. The processor 205 is further configured to receive a connection state request, sent by the UE, at the AMF. The processor 205 is further configured to release the connection between the AMF and the UE, using a release procedure. The processor 205 is further configured to receive an idle state response at the AMF sent by the UE. The idle state response is sent in response to a data operation request that is Mobile Originated (MO) or Mobile Terminated (MT). The processor 205 is further configured to initiate a network procedure by the AMF based on the idle state response received from the UE.
[0078] A person of ordinary skill in the art will readily ascertain that the illustrated embodiments and steps in description and drawings (FIGS.1-5) are set out to explain the exemplary embodiments shown, and it should be anticipated that ongoing technological development will change the manner in which particular functions are performed. These examples are presented herein for purposes of illustration, and not limitation. Further, the boundaries of the functional building blocks have been arbitrarily defined herein for the convenience of the description. Alternative boundaries can be defined so long as the specified functions and relationships thereof are appropriately performed. Alternatives (including equivalents, extensions, variations, deviations, etc., of those described herein) will be apparent to persons skilled in the relevant art(s) based on the teachings contained herein. Such alternatives fall within the scope and spirit of the disclosed embodiments.
[0079] The above described techniques (of performing recovery in a telecommunication network) of the present invention provide multiple advantages, including providing an improved recovery mechanism for integrity failures between the UE and AMF. Instead of relying on a time-consuming and potentially excessive number of retransmissions, the AMF is designed to transition the UE to an Idle state upon encountering an integrity failure. Subsequently, when the AMF initiates paging to the UE during a data operation, such as an MT (Mobile Terminated) or MO (Mobile Originated) data operation, and the UE responds with an idle procedure request, the AMF can trigger re-authentication or registration procedures. This innovative approach minimizes the occurrence of a large number of retransmissions, reducing signaling overhead and associated operational costs while ensuring efficient recovery of the UE.
[0080] Overall, the present invention introduces a more effective recovery mechanism for integrity failures, leading to improved network performance, reduced signaling overhead, and optimized operational costs in communication networks.
