1. A method for detecting a rogue base station, the method comprising:
- receiving signaling messages by a mobile apparatus at least from one base station of a cellular network;
interpreting a received signaling message;
searching for an anomaly by comparing at least one signaling parameter of the received signaling message from a first base station to a known comparison signaling parameter; and
giving an alert if the comparison gives an unequal result concerning at least one signaling parameter.

Abstract
A method receives signaling messages by a mobile apparatus at least from one base station of a cellular network, interprets a received signaling message, searches for an anomaly with at least one signaling parameter of the received signaling message from a first base station to a known comparison signaling parameter, gives an alert if the comparison gives an unequal result concerning at least one signaling parameter.

10. A mobile detecting apparatus comprising:
-
a receiver configured to receive a signaling message at least from one base station of a cellular network; a processor configured to interpret the received signaling message; a memory configured to save interpreted signaling parameters; wherein the processor is configured to execute steps of a software program comprising computer readable code for searching for an anomaly in a received signaling message by comparing at least one signaling parameter of the received signaling message from a first base station to a known comparison parameter; and an alarm unit configured to give an alert about a rogue base station if the comparison gives an unequal result concerning at least one signaling parameter. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
