Question: What is the primary trigger for counting an event in the "Received ciphering and Authentication failures within this SGSN area" measurement in a Core Network (CN) Packet Switched (PS) domain?
Option 1: Successful completion of a ciphering process between the User Equipment (UE) and the Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN).
Option 2: Receipt of a "LOCATION UPDATE ACCEPT" message from the Mobile Station (MS) to the SGSN.
Option 3: Detection of three consecutive failed authentication attempts by the SGSN without any message receipt from the MS.
Option 4: Receipt of an "AUTHENTICATION AND CIPHERING FAILURE" message from the Mobile Station (MS).
Explanation: The correct answer is based on understanding how authentication and ciphering failures are measured within a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) area in a telecom network. The receipt of an "AUTHENTICATION AND CIPHERING FAILURE" message directly indicates a failure, making it the primary trigger for counting such events. This highlights the importance of monitoring failure messages in maintaining network security and integrity.
