METHOD, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR PROVIDING CIPHERING PROBLEM RECOVERY FOR UNACKNOWLEDGED MODE RADIO BEARER
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising a processor and a memory storing executable instructions that in response to execution by the processor cause the apparatus to at least perform the following:
- receive an unacknowledged mode message;
initiate operation of a timer based on receipt of the unacknowledged mode message;
re-initiate timer operation in response to each subsequent unacknowledged mode message received prior to expiration of the timer; and
indicate a data reception error in response to the timer expiring prior to receipt of a subsequent unacknowledged mode message.

Abstract
An apparatus for providing ciphering problem detection may include a processor. The processor may be configured to receive an unacknowledged mode message, initiate operation of a timer based on receipt of the unacknowledged mode message, re-initiate timer operation in response to each subsequent unacknowledged mode message received prior to expiration of the timer, record a timer expiry event in response to the timer expiring prior to receipt of a subsequent unacknowledged mode message, and indicate a data reception error in response to receipt of the subsequent unacknowledged mode message after recordation of the timer expiry event.
