A user equipment (UE) may receive charging data and use the charging data in determinations of whether to offload data from a mobile communication network, such as a 3GPP cellular network, to another wireless access network, such as a wireless local area network (WLAN). For example, the UE may receive, from the mobile communication network, charging data regarding one or more WLANs in the vicinity of the UE. The UE may also receive rules regarding whether to offload communication traffic from the cellular communication network to a particular WLAN based on charging data relating to the particular WLAN. The UE may detect one of the WLANs and determine whether to offload communication traffic to the WLAN based at least in part on the received rules and the received charging data regarding the WLAN. The determination may be further based on user preferences saved on the UE regarding the charging data.

There is provided mechanisms for establishing a communication session with a local serving network. A method is performed by a terminal device. The method comprises obtaining an indication of traffic to be communicated. The traffic is associated with a traffic descriptor. The method comprises selecting a URSP rule for the traffic to be communicated in a communication session with the local serving network. The URSP rule is selected in accordance with the traffic descriptor and in accordance with a validity condition for the communication session. The validity condition at least pertains to network support for IMS in the local serving network. The method comprises establishing a communication session with the local serving network for communicating the traffic according to the selected URSP rule.

A method relates to identifying, by a processing device, a plurality of subscriber identity modules (SIMs) coupled to the processing device, each of the plurality of SIMs storing data enabling a set of communication services provided by a respective one of a plurality of communication service providers, determining a request parameter comprising at least one of a time, a location of the processing device, or a destination to provide a first communication service, determining a plurality of cost rates to provide the first communication service by the respective one of the plurality of communication service providers in view of a cost rate table and the request parameter, selecting a first SIM from the plurality of SIMs in view of the plurality of cost rates, and displaying, on a screen of the processing device, a first icon indicating the selected first SIM to provide the first communication service.

Methods and apparatus to generate audience measurement data from population sample data having incomplete demographic classifications are disclosed. An example method includes detecting that a number of impressions a time segment of a video occurred based on messages; detecting that no impressions for the time segment of the video were detected by the database proprietor; determining respective percentages of exposures of the video that are attributable to corresponding ones of multiple demographic groups, determining the respective percentages being based on the first demographic information provided by the database proprietor for exposures of other time segments of the video; attributing respective portions of the number of impressions to the demographic groups based on the respective percentages to determine imputed numbers of impressions; generating adjusted numbers of impressions based on the imputed numbers of impressions; and determining ratings information for the video using the adjusted numbers of impressions.

An information handling system may include a processor; a memory; a network interface device to communicatively couple the information handling system to a first wireless communication networks of a plurality of wireless communication networks; an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) to provide data descriptive of wireless communication network-specific information to authenticate the information handling system; and an eSIM profile switching module to: monitor for signal strengths of each of a plurality of wireless communication networks. Upon discovering that the first wireless communication network has insufficient quality of service to sustain data transmission, send a request to a wireless communication network switching utility at a core communication network requesting roaming during a switch between the eSIM profile for a default wireless communication network to the second wireless communication network; and switch communication to the second wireless communication network while avoiding wireless service interruption with roaming if available.

Disclosed is a method for receiving streaming service data in a mobile communication system supporting a plurality of radio access interfaces, comprising the steps of: operating in a first mode for receiving, from a server, streaming service data through a first interface among the plurality of radio access interfaces; and determining a transition to a second mode for receiving the streaming service data by using at least two radio access interfaces according to a radio network currently being used in the first mode.

Systems and methods to selectively block calls from reaching destinations based on an input received from a callback connection. One embodiment includes a web server to receive a selection of an advertisement from an customer and to obtain a communication reference from the customer in response to the selection; a session border controller to interface with a packet switched network; and one or more telecommunication servers coupled to the session border controller and the web server, the one or more telecommunication servers to establish a connection for real time communications using the communication reference, to initiate a connection for real time communications with an advertiser of the advertisement after receiving an indication of acceptance of the connection established using the communication reference; where the advertiser is charged an advertisement fee in response to establishing a connection for real time communications between the advertiser and the customer.

The present invention is directed towards a communication exchange system where an ecosystem of one or more HPMN and VPMN operators that are connected to a gateway/exchange that facilitates local data services for users. These users are roaming in the VPMN over existing roaming relationship between VPMN and their HPMN. The local data services are facilitated by adding an identifier to APN. The communication exchange systems also includes an interface that maintains a bi-directional connection with the gateway to exchange information related to the roaming services, and a bi-directional connection with users via their mobile devices' user interface.

A mobile device is provided. The mobile device includes a memory configured to store a plurality of applications, a communication circuit including a first communication module and a second communication module, and a processor electrically connected with the communication circuit. The processor is configured to execute an application among the plurality of applications, determine a communication state of the first network and a communication state of the second network in response to executing the application, select one of the first network and the second network based on the communication state of the first network, the communication state of the second network, a tariff applied to the mobile device, a service policy applied to the application, performance criteria applied to the application, and network selection criteria, and download data from a server associated with the application using the selected network.

Various methods for selecting a network access subscription are provided. One example method includes receiving a request to participate in a communications session, determining that at least two subscriptions for network access are available, determining tariffs for one or more connection types that are available through each subscription, 5 determining cost factors for each connection type of the at least two subscriptions based on the tariffs, and selecting a target subscription and a target connection type for use in satisfying the request based on the cost factors. Similar and related example methods and example apparatuses are also provided.
