ABSTRACT:
Provided are apparatuses and methods for providing security measures for a handover execution procedure in a communication network. In one example, the handover procedure is initiated by more than one base station. In another example, a base station may not launch a Denial or Service (DoS) attack towards other base stations or towards a core network using handover signaling messages. For example, a user device may send at least one encryption parameter, such as a Nonce associated with the user device to a source base station. Handover of the user device from the source base station to a target base station may be accomplished based on the at least one encryption parameter to avoid the DoS attack.
