1. A method of wireless communication with at least one mobile unit and at least one authentication center, the method comprising:
- generating at least one access request including information indicative of at least a first sequence number associated with the mobile unit, the first sequence number corresponding to an authentication vector; and
receiving at least one message based upon the access request, the message comprising at least a second sequence number selected by the authentication center, the second sequence number selected to be acceptable to the mobile unit based on the first sequence number indicated by said at least one access request so that the second sequence number used by the authentication center is synchronized with the first sequence number used by the mobile unit.

22. A method of wireless communication with at least one mobile unit and at least one authentication center, the method comprising:
-
receiving at least one access request including information indicative of at least a first sequence number associated with the mobile unit, the first sequence number corresponding to an authentication vector; providing at least a first message based upon the access request; and receiving, in response to providing the first message, at least a second message including at least a second sequence number selected by the authentication center, the second sequence number selected to be acceptable to the mobile unit based on the first sequence number indicated by said at least one access request so that the second sequence number used by the authentication center is synchronized with the first sequence number used by the mobile unit. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
