Enhancing privacy of paging procedure in LTE

The mechanisms adopted by cellular technologies for user identification allow an adversary to collect information about individuals and track their movements within the network; and thus exposing privacy of the users to unknown risks. Despite efforts have been made by Long Term Evolution LTE toward...
