Various embodiments are disclosed for a services policy communication system and method. In some embodiments, a communications device stores a set of device credentials for activating the communications device for a service on a network; and sends an access request to the network, the access request including the set of device credentials.

Systems and methods discussed herein are directed to enabling users to remain in a first network billing system but access a second network for wireless communication network services. This occurs via an OTA update of a user's UE SIM, where the update changes the primary public land mobile network (PLMN) from the first network to the second network. Additionally, the network capabilities for the UE are cross-provisioned from the first network to the second network, where the first network provides a service or rate plan to the second network.

Various embodiments are disclosed for a services policy communication system and method. In some embodiments, a communications device implements a service policy for assisting control of the communications device use of a service on a network; and monitors use of the service based on the service policy, in which a local service usage is synchronized with a network based service usage.

Various embodiments are disclosed for a services policy communication system and method. In some embodiments, a communications device stores a set of device credentials for activating the communications device for a service on a network; and sends an access request to the network, the access request including the set of device credentials.

The disclosure relates to a first entity for a communication network, in particular a mobile communication network, configured to obtain, from a second entity and/or a third entity, information for the second entity comprising a request for analytics information and/or a request for a rule related to analytics information that can be provided by the first entity. The first entity can be further configured to provide to the second entity analytics information according to one or more rules, in particular according to the request for analytics information, and/or the requested rule. Alternatively, the first entity can be further configured to forward the obtained information to a fourth entity according to one or more rules. Moreover, the disclosure relates to a corresponding method.

Disclosed is a method in which a first terminal receives data in a wireless communication system. Specifically, the method may include transmitting a first message that includes a sidelink communication request and receiving sidelink communication data from a second terminal. In particular, the first terminal may be a subscriber of a first Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), and the second terminal may be a subscriber of a second PLMN different from the first PLMN. In addition, the sidelink communication data may be received by using a carrier of the first PLMN. The first terminal is capable of communicating with at least one of another UE, a UE related to an autonomous driving vehicle, a base station or a network.

A method of a roaming user equipment (UE) according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes obtaining billing information of the roaming UE from a message received from a communication carrier server, sending a billing information authentication request message including the obtained billing information to an authentication server, and receiving an authentication result regarding whether the billing information is valid.

Various embodiments are disclosed for a services policy communication system and method. In some embodiments, a communications device stores a set of device credentials for activating the communications device for a service on a network; and sends an access request to the network, the access request including the set of device credentials.

Systems and methods may provide for establishing a data usage budget based on one or more of user input and historical usage data, wherein the data usage budget distinguishes between usage types and distinguishes between connection types. Additionally, a data usage of one or more client devices may be monitored in accordance with the data usage budget. In one example, the usage types are designated as one or more of a high bandwidth usage and a low bandwidth usage, and the connection types are designated as one or more of a capped connection and a nan-capped connection.

The present application at least describes a computer-implemented method including a step of setting, via a service layer residing on a server outside of an underlying 3GPP network, a trigger in the underlying 3GPP network, where the trigger defines an QoS parameter change in the underlying 3GPP network. The underlying 3GPP network is configured with functionality to send a notification to the service layer upon detecting the QoS parameter change. The computer-implemented method also includes a step of receiving, from the underlying 3GPP network, the notification the detected QoS parameter change has occurred. The computer-implemented method further includes a step of performing, at the service layer residing on the server a service layer operation in response to the received notification.
