ACCESS NETWORK TRUSTWORTHINESS DETECTION IN CORE NETWORK

摘要

There are provided measures for access network trustworthiness detection in core network. Such measures exemplarily comprise signaling of a trustworthiness indication of an access network with respect to a core network together with an access technology type of the access network from the access network, acquisition of the trustworthiness indication in the core network, detection of a trusted or untrusted property of the access network of the access technology type based on the acquired trustworthiness indication and access technology type in the core network, and operation according to the detected trusted or untrusted property of the access network in the core network. Such measures are exemplarily, but not exclusively, applicable in the context of a non-3GPP access network providing IP connectivity to a 3GPP core network.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
signaling a trustworthiness indication of an access network with respect to a core network together with an access technology type of the access network towards the core network wherein the trustworthiness indication and the access technology type are signaled in an access technology type parameter, one value of the access technology type parameter indicating a trusted property of the access network of the access technology type and another value of the access technology type parameter indicating an untrusted property of the access network of the access technology type, or the access technology type is signaled in an access technology type parameter and the trustworthiness indication is signaled in a trustworthiness parameter indicating a trusted or untrusted property of the access network of the access technology type indicated in the access technology type parameter.
