Abstract: In one example, a server obtains, from a device having an embedded Subscriber Identification Module (eSIM), a unique identifier of the eSIM. The server validates the device based on the unique identifier of the eSIM. The server provides, to the device, a unique credential for a profile of the eSIM. The profile of the eSIM corresponds to a network of an enterprise. The server provides, to a credential database, the unique credential for the profile of the eSIM. The credential database including the unique credential for the profile of the eSIM indicates that the device is permitted to access the network of the enterprise.

Abstract: Techniques are described to provide for authentication and subscription management that are decoupled from a Home Subscriber Server (HSS). In one example, a method includes providing a device profile at an authentication function, wherein the device profile comprises identification information for a device for a plurality of access types including a first identifier for the device associated with a cellular access and a second identifier for the device associated with a wireless local area network access; obtaining an access request message associated with the device for the cellular access, wherein the access request message comprises the first identifier and an authentication attribute; generating authentication information for authenticating the device for the cellular access based, at least in part, on the authentication attribute; and generating, for transmission, an access accept message for the cellular access, wherein the access accept message comprises the first identifier, the second identifier, and the authentication information.

Abstract: Techniques for optimizing performance of narrowband Internet-of-Things (NB-IoT) devices in a wireless wide area network (WWAN) are described. In one embodiment, a method includes providing a NB-IoT base station in an in-band deployment mode to operate within a WWAN. The NB-IoT base station is configured to use a physical resource block of the WWAN for communicating with a plurality of NB-IoT devices. The method includes causing a reduction of a power level for a transmission from an initial power level to a first reduced power level. The method includes obtaining parameters associated with performance and throughput for the WWAN and comparing the parameters to a quality threshold. Based on the comparison of the parameters to the threshold, the method includes determining whether or not to reduce the power level for the physical resource block from the first reduced power level to a second reduced power level.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for detecting establishment of a bearer associated with a communication session offloaded from a mobile carrier network to a wireless local area network, such as a Wi-Fi® network, and sending, from the mobile carrier network to the wireless local area network, an indication of a level of quality of service (QoS) to be applied to a segment of the communication session that is conveyed by the wireless local area network. The indication of the level of QoS may be passed via a network controller.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein enable controlling access to networks. In various implementations, a method of controlling access to a network is performed by a computing device including one or more processors, and a non-transitory memory. In various implementations, the method includes obtaining an indication that a mobile device having access to a first network utilizing a first radio access technology (RAT) has requested access to a second network utilizing a second RAT. In some implementations, the method includes determining whether the access to the first network satisfies an authentication criterion associated with the second network. In some implementations, the method includes granting the mobile device access to the second network in response to determining that the access to the first network satisfies the authentication criterion associated with the second network. In some implementations, accessing the second network via the authentication criterion satisfies an operating threshold associated with the mobile device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for small cell idle mode mobility include receiving, at a first small cell of a preconfigured cluster of small cells, a mobility area update request from a user equipment (UE). The method can also include registering location information of the UE with a small cell gateway, and retrieving a core network periodic timer for the UE from a mobility server. If certain conditions are met, the first small cell forwards the mobility area update request to a core network via the small cell gateway. Otherwise, the method can include the first small cell updating the location information of the UE with the mobility server, generating a locally-generated mobility area update accept message, and sending a locally generated mobility area update accept message to the UE along with a local periodic timer instructing the UE to send another mobility area update request when the local periodic timer expires.
