Instant mobile alerting system and method of use
11570751 · 2023-01-31 · ·

A cloud based and on-premise based notification solution for notifying people of a pending, occurring, or ongoing event. These can be emergency, non-emergency or informative in nature. The notification solution is deployed in the form of a mobile software application which can be downloaded by end users to their personal mobile device and used to sync with desired notification system(s). A mobile software application, commonly referred to as an “app,” is downloaded to a user's mobile device, such as a smart phone or tablet computer. Once there, the user can be notified of any emergency or non-emergency notifications by others in any networks the user joins. Signing up to new networks for new notifications, the user is never required to provide any personally identifiable information.

System and method for managing visitor location register (VLR) records by updating duplicate records
11570610 · 2023-01-31 · ·

There is a method and system of removing duplicate Visitor Location Register (VLR) records, and updating the VLR's Global Title Address (GTA) in their Home Location Register (HLR) to avoid duplicate VLR impact to customer service, which may result in missed inbound calls and delayed inbound SMS. Duplicate VLR GTA means that one subscriber has more than one VLR record in different Mobile Switching Stations (MSS) or Mobile Switching Centers (MSC). The valid VLR is identified by comparing the “last active timestamp” of the same subscriber identity (IMSI, or MSISDN, or MDN) of VLR records obtained from each MSS/MSC. The VLR that has the most recent “last active timestamp” is used to identify the active/valid VLR which serves the subscriber. Afterwards the non-active VLR records will be deleted, and the VLR's GTA in HLR will be updated as needed.

Managing data traffic in a subscription-based network access system

Described herein are systems and methods that dynamically manage network traffic for individual subscribers based on past and current data usage rates. The disclosed systems and methods operate to control data traffic for a group of subscribers that share a common access network or that share a common access link to an access network. Prior to an individual subscriber reaching their data plan limit, the disclosed systems and methods track individual subscribers' past and current data rates and manage individual subscribers' current usage rates so that each subscriber's continually or periodically updating past usage rate stays within a provisioning rate for the group. This can improve user experience because rather than waiting until a subscriber has reached their plan data limit to impose strict data usage restrictions, the disclosed systems and methods use modest restrictions continuously or intermittently during the plan period.

E-Sim trial

Systems and methods for providing at least one electronic indication of network benefit of a telecommunication network include a first telecom network and a user device. The user device includes sim circuitry. The user device is structured to connect to the first telecom network and a secondary telecom network, receive at least one first device signal associated with the first telecom network and at least one secondary device signal associated with the secondary telecom network, determine one or more signal factors based on the at least one first device signal and the at least one secondary device signal, generate one or more network scores in response to the one or more signal factors determined, and based on the one or more network scores, provide at least one electronic indication of network benefit of the first telecom network and the secondary telecom network.

METHOD, APPARATUSES AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIA RELATING TO EVENT SUBSCRIPTION IN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK
20230027164 · 2023-01-26 ·

The disclosure provides methods, apparatus and computer-readable media for subscribing to, and receiving event notification messages from a CAPIF core function. In one method performed by a subscribing network entity, the subscribing network entity sends an event subscription request message to the CAPIF core function. The event subscription request message comprises an indication of an event filter to be utilized by the CAPIF core function for filtering event notifications to be sent to the subscribing network entity. The event filter comprises an identity of one or more network entities associated with events to be notified to the subscribing network entity.

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CARD ASSIGNMENT, ALLOCATION, AND DISTRIBUTION TO END DEVICES
20230239676 · 2023-07-27 ·

A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a card assignment, allocation, and distribution service is provided. The service may include generating vendor-agnostic identifiers that create a unified inventory among cards of different vendors. The service may also include generating vendor-agnostic identifiers with criterion data based on the vendor-agnostic identifiers. The criterion data may be used to steer and distribute cards among distribution devices associated with different vendor platforms. The vendor-agnostic identifiers with criterion data may optimize or minimize the generation and storage of data used to manage allocation and distribution of cards. Also, the vendor-agnostic identifiers with criterion data may reduce and/or streamline the network processing in allocation and distribution procedures of the cards to end devices.

LOW-POWER RCS COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND METHOD THEREOF
20230028974 · 2023-01-26 ·

An electronic device may include a wireless communication circuit, a processor operatively connected to the wireless communication circuit, multiple SIMs, and a memory operatively connected to the processor. The memory may store instructions which, when executed, may cause the processor to: acquire first subscriber identification information and second subscriber identification information from the multiple SIMs; generate a matching map in which RCS functions supported b the first subscriber identification information and the second subscriber identification information are compared; search for whether the first subscriber identification information and the second subscriber identification information are matched to each other, by using the matching map; when the first subscriber identification information and the second subscriber identification information are not matched to each other, perform capability exchange with an external electronic device for the first subscriber identification information by using the wireless communication circuit; when the first subscriber identification information and the second subscriber identification information are matched to each other, search for whether a result of capability exchange for the second subscriber identification information is stored in the second subscriber identification information; and determine whether to activate or deactivate an RCS function which can be supported by the first subscriber identification information on the basis of the result of the capability exchange for the second subscriber identification information.
