Classification: CPC H  G | IPC H

Claim 12:
13. The method of claim 1, wherein performing the resynchronization procedure to synchronize the current HFN at the first network entity and the current HFN at the second network entity includes:
modifying the current HFN at the first network entity by one or more offset values to obtain a set of modified HFN values;
deciphering the Ethernet header of the received Ethernet frame using each of the set of modified HFN values successively;
determining that an Ethernet header obtained by deciphering the Ethernet header of the received Ethernet frame using a respective HFN value of the set of modified HFN values is uncorrupted; and
updating the current HFN at the first network entity to be equal to the respective HFN used to decipher the Ethernet header of the received Ethernet frame from which the Ethernet header determined to be uncorrupted is obtained.
