Abstract
Methods and apparatus to secure communications in a mobile network are disclosed. An example method disclosed herein comprises randomizing a first set of bits associated with information to be communicated over a slow associated control channel by applying a scrambling factor to generate a set of scrambled bits equal in length to the first set of bits. Another example method disclosed herein comprises concatenating a set of error detection bits with a set of information bits associated with information to be transmitted over a slow associated control channel to generate a set of coded bits, and shuffling the set of coded bits to generate a set of shuffled bits.
