Intellectual Property India Publishes Patent Application for 'SNN For Security Keys In Ue-To-Network Relay' Filed by Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (PUBL)

MUMBAI, India, June 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517054117 A) filed by Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (PUBL), Stockholm, on June 4, for 'snn for security keys in ue-to-network relay.'

Inventor(s) include Wang, Cheng.

The application for the patent was published on June 27, under issue no. 26/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure proposes a method and system to determine the Serving Network Name (SNN) value which is used for Proximity Services (ProSe) authentication. In a first embodiment, the remote User Equipment (UE) and home network of the remote UE determine to use a fix value SNN for ProSe authentication, e.g., "5G:Prose". Thus, regardless of which relay UE is discovered by the remote UE, the ProSe authentication vector can be generated. In another embodiment, the Remote UE can derive the SNN from the cell info of the relay UE from discovery procedure. In yet another embodiment, a Relay UE sends the SNN of the relay network to Remote UE as part of ProSe authentication procedure. This allows security keys to be generated for PC5 communication, based on the common value of SNN in the network side and UE side."

The patent application was internationally filed on Nov. 13, 2023, under International application No.PCT/IB2023/061446.
