Flexible electronic subscriber identity module deployment
11570612 · 2023-01-31 · ·

Techniques for flexible electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) deployment to a wireless device by a network server, including generation of multiple eSIMs using an identical eSIM identifier value, such as an identical integrated circuit card identifier (ICCID) value, and subsequent selection of an eSIM based on capabilities of the wireless device. Multiple eSIMs that correspond to different sets of wireless device capabilities are generated without knowledge of the wireless communication standards that a wireless device supports. The multiple eSIMs include a first eSIM that includes fifth generation (5G) wireless communication protocol information and a second eSIM that excludes 5G wireless communication protocol information. The network server selects an eSIM from the multiple eSIMs based on whether the wireless device is 5G capable. After selection and binding of a profile package that includes the eSIM, the remaining eSIMs that use the identical ICCID value are deleted, for security enforcement against cloning.

SCRIPT REUSE DURING INTER-FREQUENCY OR INTER-RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGY MEASUREMENTS AND PAGING

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In a wireless communications system, a user equipment (UE) may be scheduled to perform a first measurement or paging activity associated with a target cell operating according to a first target cell configuration that is different from a serving cell operating according to a first serving cell configuration of the UE. In some cases, the UE may determine that the UE has performed a previous measurement or paging activity associated with the target cell while being served by the serving cell, the cells operating according to previous cell configurations. The UE may compare at least one of the first and previous target cell configurations or the first and previous serving cell configurations, and may perform the first measurement or paging activity using a script, where the script is either reused or rebuilt based on comparing the cell configurations.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TEMPORARY SERVICE PROVISIONING
20230027672 · 2023-01-26 ·

In some implementations, a first network device may receive an authorization request associated with a user device connecting to a network associated with first network device. The first network device may redirect the authorization request toward a second network device associated with a second service provider. The first network device may determine, based on a response to the authorization request, that the user device is subscribed to a service provided by the second service provider and that the user device is not authorized to connect to the network. The first network device may provide a temporary service to the user device to enable the user device to connect to the network for a limited period based on the user device being subscribed to the service provided by the second service provider and the user device not being authorized to connect to the network.

A method of providing a communication function in a user equipment includes receiving, at the user equipment, a login request to log the user in to the user equipment; determining, by the user equipment, based on the login, whether the user equipment has a communication profile associated with the user; if it is determined that the user equipment has a communication profile associated with the user, enabling the stored communication profile; if it is determined that the user equipment does not have a communication profile associated with the user stored: sending, by the user equipment, a first request to a first server to request support information for obtaining a communication profile associated with the user; receiving, at the user equipment, the support information from the first server; and obtaining, by the user equipment, the communication profile from the first server or a second server based on the support information.

TRANSMITTING A COMPLEMENT OF USER PARAMETERS TO A COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE

Briefly, example methods, apparatuses, and/or articles of manufacture may be implemented, in whole or in part, using one or more computing devices to obtain, from a communications device, an identifier of the communications device transmitted via a communications network. The communications network may transmit a request for one or more parameters unique to a subscriber of the communications network. The method may also include processing signals indicative of the requested one or more parameters in response to the subscriber entering the one or more parameters into a graphical user interface of the communications device. The method may further include transmitting, to the communications device, one or more signals to provide a complement of subscriber parameters.

METHOD AND APPARATUS TO PROVIDE PRIORITY SERVICES TO UE IN WIRELESS NETWORK
20230232207 · 2023-07-20 ·

Embodiments herein provide methods for providing priority services to a UE by an AMF. The method includes receiving a request message from the UE, receiving, from a unified data management (UDM), subscription data of the UE, and, based on identifying that the subscription data comprises information related to a priority service and the request message does not include an establishment cause associated with the priority service, sending, to the UE, an accept message for the priority service in response to receiving the request message. The priority service comprises at least one of multimedia priority service (MPS) or mission critical service (MCX).
