Abstract: When communications between user equipment (UE) and a base station (Node B)
deteriorate as the UE approaches a cell boundary, eventually, the radio network
controller will decide that handover to another cell is necessary. A cellular radio
telecommunications network is proposed, in which a new base station responds to
information from the radio network controller to send downlink data to the mobile station
only after it has received an uplink frame therefrom. 
     User equipment is disclosed which is responsive to instructions from an existing
base station, to begin transmissions to a second base station specified in the
instructions, without waiting for receipt of down link communications from the second
base station.

Abstract: An encryption system prevents a replay attack by providing a secure item that is unique for each recording of copy-protected content material. A memory element is provided in the recording medium that is readable but not writeable by external devices, and whose content changes each time material is recorded onto the medium. The content of this memory element is used to form a unique encryption key that is used to encrypt the content encryption key. This unique encryption of the content encryption key is further encrypted using a public key that corresponds to a private key of the intended rendering device. Although the unique encryption key is determinable by reading and processing the content of the memory element, the decryption of the content encryption key requires both the unique encryption key and the private key of the intended rendering device. Because the unique encryption key is based on a content value of the memory element that is unique to each recording to the recording medium, a subsequent replay attack will not provide the same unique encryption key used to originally encrypt the content encryption key. Consequently used to encrypt the content encryption key, the rendering device will be unable to decrypt the content encryption key, and thereby will be unable to decrypt the content material.
