Claim 9:
10. A method for authenticating a device-side translator (DS-TT) function within a wireless telecommunications network comprising:
receiving identity & credential values associated with a first (DS-TT) function;
transparently, wirelessly forwarding the received identity & credential values to one or more devices in a core, wireless network (“core devices”) to authenticate the first DS-TT function;
receiving a signal from one of the core devices completing an Authentication Server function (AUSF) provided stored, correct identity and credentials of a second DS-TT function of a local device comprising a receive function completed after a user equipment (UE) receive function of the local device and a DS-TT transmit function completed before a UE transmit function of the local device match the received identity and credential values of the first DS-TT function; and
transparently forwarding authentication responses to the core device completing the AUSF function to authenticate the first DS-TT function associated with the received identity & credential values.
