METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IDENTIFYING FAKE NETWORKS

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for distinguishing a fake network and an apparatus thereof are provided to distinguish the impersonator networks and are provided to perform the camping on the very likely network. CONSTITUTION: A control unit confirms whether the new authentication request is received from the network or not. If the new authentication request is not received from the network, the control unit confirms whether the failure of lower layer has been generated or not. If the failure of lower layer has been generated, the control unit stops a timer. The control unit updates a count value of the authentication failure. The control unit compares the count value with the predetermined threshold value. If the count value is bigger than the predetermined threshold value, the control unit bars the corresponding cell.
