Abstract: Methods and devices for a user equipment (UE) device to utilize an electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) to provide backup cellular connectivity for essential services and security enhancements. A UE device receives user input to alter an operational state of the UE. The user input may include removing a physical subscriber identity module (SIM) card installed in the UE or attempting to power off the UE. In response to receiving the user input, an authorization process is initiated. In response to determining that the authorization process has failed, a security enhancement is implemented for the UE.

Abstract: The embodiments disclosed herein include capturing images via cameras or light sensors of a mobile communication device, processing the image to determine obstructed (e.g., by foliage) portions and unobstructed (e.g., open sky) portions of the images, and generating a grid indicating the obstructed and unobstructed portions. The device may then adjust operating characteristics, such as synchronizing with a communication hub or other mobile communication device, performing a handover with the communication hub or other mobile communication device, determining transmission power or an amount to increase transmission power, selecting an antenna, determining a beam direction, determining a discontinuous reception cycle or a frequency for receiving data, providing an indication to stop or proceed through certain areas (e.g., to take advantage of areas with higher signal quality or avoid areas with lower signal quality), and the like, based on the obstructed and unobstructed portions identified in the grid.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a transmitter and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry determines trends of positions (e.g., elevation angles) of communication nodes and compare the trends of the positions. Based on the comparison between the trends of the positions, the processing circuitry selects a communication node for communication and uses the transmitter to transmit a signal to the selected communication node.

Abstract: A mobile communication device is configured to receive updated network data, such as updated Content Delivery Network (CDN) data utilized to access a first network, without accessing the first network and a second network, such as a Wi-Fi or cellular network. The mobile communication device periodically transmits, via a peer-to-peer (P2P) network, a beacon signal indicating a network data request for the updated network data. A rate at which the mobile communication device periodically transmits the beacon signal is based on various criteria, such as an origination date of network data stored on the mobile communication device, an amount of time between the origination date and the present date, a battery health of the mobile communication device, and/or various inputs to the mobile communication device. An additional mobile communication device receives the beacon signal and transmits the updated network data to the mobile communication device.

Abstract: An electronic device determines that a first network is inaccessible and that non-prioritized services associated with a second network are unavailable. In response, the electronic device communicates non-prioritized data via a third network. Additionally, in response to determining that prioritized services associated with the second network are available, the electronic device transmits a priority message using the second network while communicating the non-prioritized data via the third network. In response to determining the first network is accessible, the electronic device communicates additional non-prioritized data and an additional priority message using the first network.
