Claim 0:
1. A local device operable to complete user equipment (UE) receive and transmit functions within a time-aware telecommunications network, the local device comprising:
at least one processor and at least one memory operable to store instructions that when executed by the processor cause the local device to,
receive identity & credential values associated with a first device-side translator (DS-TT) function;
transparently, wirelessly forward the received identity & credential values to one or more devices in a core, wireless network (“core devices”) to authenticate the received identity & credential values associated with the first DS-TT function;
receive 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 comprising a receive function completed after the UE receive function of the local device and a DS-TT transmit function completed before the UE transmit function of the local device match the received identity and credential values of the first DS-TT function; and
transparently forward authentication responses to the core device completing the AUSF to authenticate the first DS-TT function associated with the received identity & credential values.
