Latest Patents

Wenzel is associated with 1 patent: “Method for Mobile Node-Foreign Agent Challenge Optimization.” The invention helps prevent a foreign agent from rejecting a re-registration request because the mobile node received an outdated challenge code. The agent compares the request’s identification code with that of the previous valid registration request. If the new code is greater, the agent authenticates and processes the request, resetting the session lifetime so communication can continue.

Career Highlights

Wenzel’s patent reflects work on authentication and continuity in mobile communications. By accounting for delayed challenge messages, the method is designed to support reliable registration even when network congestion affects message delivery.

Collaborations

Wenzel’s listed coworkers include Pierre Boulos and Ahmad Shawky Muhanna. His company affiliation is Nortel Networks Corporation.

Conclusion

Pete Wenzel’s patented method addresses a practical mobile networking problem by helping authenticated re-registration proceed despite delayed challenge messages.
