Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- issuing, by a base transceiver station within at least one femtocell to a Session Initiation Protocol to Internet Operating System adapter within the at least one femtocell, a location update request on behalf of a user equipment;
conveying an authentication request by the Session Initiation Protocol to Internet Operating System adapter of the at least one femtocell to the base transceiver station; and
transmitting an authentication challenge from the base transceiver station of the at least one femtocell to the user equipment.

Abstract
A system, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium for processing registration and authentication procedures by an IP-based femtocell system are provided. In one embodiment, the femtocell system includes a base transceiver station and a Session Initiation Protocol to Internet Operating System adapter. The femtocell system issues a location update request on behalf of a user equipment, transmits a register message to a core network, receives an authentication request from the core network, and transmits an authentication challenge to the user equipment.

16. A system, comprising:
-
a packet-switched network; an Internet Protocol Multimedia subsystem communicatively coupled with the packet-switched network; and a femtocell communicatively coupled with the packet-switched network, wherein the femtocell includes a base transceiver station and a Session Initiation Protocol to Internet Operating System adapter; wherein the base transceiver station issues a location update request on behalf of a user equipment that is received by the Session Initiation Protocol to Internet Operating System adapter; wherein the Session Initiation Protocol to Internet Operating System adapter receives an authentication request and a random value used to authenticate the user equipment from the Internet Protocol Multimedia subsystem; and wherein the base transceiver station transmits an authentication challenge to the user equipment. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
