Abstract
Techniques are provided for handling of a first type call as it affects an authentication procedure in a communication network. For example, it is assumed that, in a communication network, a first computing device comprises user equipment and a second computing device comprises an authentication function for authenticating the user equipment. Thus, a method comprises receiving at the second computing device from the first computing device an authentication rejection message, receiving at the second computing device from the first computing device a first type call indicator message, and making a decision regarding proceeding with or dropping an authentication procedure for the first computing device at the second computing device based on the receipt of the authentication rejection message and the first type call indicator message.
