This process adds an extra security layer to how emergency communication data is handled in 5G and 6G networks.

Why it mattersIt improves the security of critical communication channels used by emergency services, ensuring that only verified servers can access sensitive user account information.

In the filing’s own words

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. Disclosed herein is method and system for authorizing a MCX server. An authorization server is configured to receive a validation request from a MCData message store in response to a user account access request received by MCData message store from MCX server. Further, authorization server is configured to validate identification information of MCX server. Further, authorization server is configured to transmit a validation response to MCData message store indicating authorization of MCX server to access user account in MCData message store, upon successful validation of identification information of tMCX server. An authorization server is introduced to provide additional layer of security to user account with MC Data.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method performed by a mission critical (MC) Data message store in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving a user account request from a mission critical services (MCX) server, wherein the user account request includes an identifier of an MCData user; validating the MCX server based on a plurality of uniform resource identifiers (URIs) of MCX servers related to the MCData user; and transmitting, to the MCX server, a user account response corresponding to the identifier of the MCData user.
