Mobile terminal and method for cell identity authentication through same

Abstract

The invention provides a method for cell identity authentication through a mobile terminal and the mobile terminal. The method comprises the steps that the mobile terminal stores cell information; the cell information comprises data records of cells which the mobile terminal had access to; the data record of each cell comprises identifying information of the cell and identifying information of another cell adjacent to the cell; when the mobile terminal needs to reselect the cells, the identifying information of all target cells is matched with the identifying information of the adjacent cells in the data record of the cell where the mobile terminal is located currently; only the target cells which are successfully matched are reported to a base station. By means of the method, a pseudo base station can be identified easily and effectively at the time of terminal switchover.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a mobile terminal and a method for performing cell identity authentication thereof. Background technique

[0002] In a mobile communication system, a base station is a network infrastructure deployed by a telecom network operator with legal operating qualifications. It provides wireless network communication services for user terminals by providing wireless signal coverage. However, in order to obtain user information, a large number of pseudo base stations pretending to be mobile communication networks appear in the network, which seriously hinders the normal communication of users. Recently, a pseudo-base station system of spam messages that can simulate any number of callers and send any content has been widely discovered, causing serious social harm.

[0003] Even if spam text messages are harmless, the existence of "pseudo base stations" will also bring harm to the use of mobile ...
