Abstract: The invention provides a technique for managing write operations issued to a non-volatile memory included in a wireless device. A monitor software application executes on the wireless device and is configured to determine that a number of write operations issued to the non-volatile memory is greater than or equal to a write operation threshold associated with the non-volatile memory. In response, at least one application is isolated as the application responsible for issuing excessive write operations. The isolation can be carried out locally on the wireless device, or the isolation can be carried out remotely at a server by sending information about the write operations to the server. The monitor then limits additional write operations from being issued to the non-volatile memory so as to protect the non-volatile memory from becoming corrupted or inoperable.

Abstract: This application sets forth techniques for authenticating a mobile device with a cellular wireless network without electronic Subscriber Identity Module (eSIM) credentials by using an Extensible Authentication Protocol Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) procedure. The mobile device authenticates with an Authentication Server Function (AUSF) of the cellular wireless network using an embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) certificate. Processing circuitry of the mobile wireless device external to the eUICC implements the EAP-TLS procedure and authenticates validity of the AUSF. In some embodiments, the eUICC provides key generation and storage for a session key for communication between the mobile device and the cellular wireless network. In some embodiments, a third-party managed Unified Data Management (UDM) broker authenticates the mobile device based on knowledge of the eUICC certificate and provides a session key to the cellular wireless network for subsequent communication with the mobile device, upon successful authentication of the mobile device.

Abstract: This application describes techniques for postponed certificate credential installation to wireless devices, including generation and storage of secured scripts to be used for subsequent certificate credential installation on an eUICC of a wireless device after manufacturing. Management of certificate credentials, including installation on, modification to, and removal from, an eUICC can occur post-manufacturing, such as during a device activation procedure or as part of remote electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) provisioning to the eUICC of the wireless device. Updating certificate credentials on an eUICC can allow for wireless device operation in different geographic regions that use different public key infrastructures (PKIs) with distinct root certificate issuers. The secured scripts can be pre-generated by an eUICC manufacturer (EUM) for the particular eUICC and stored at an OEM networked server and later used to install the certificate credentials on the eUICC of the wireless device.

Abstract: This application sets forth techniques for dynamically managing a provisioning electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) for a wireless device. A provisioning eSIM is installed in the wireless device to provide a limited functionality connectivity option for essential services, such as device activation and user eSIM provisioning. To reduce signaling load on a network and to conserve wireless device battery power, the provisioning eSIM is reconfigured between an inactive state and an active state dynamically based on user actions and system requirements.

Abstract: This Application describes mechanisms for enterprise remote management of cellular services provided via access credentials, e.g., subscriber identity modules (SIMs) and/or electronic SIMs (eSIMs), for wireless devices. To minimize requirements for user interaction, installation and management of business-supplied cellular service profiles on the wireless device can intercept alert notifications to reduce interruptions and allow for background management of the business-supplied cellular service profiles. Additionally, a business enterprise can use multiple, distinct services to initiate installation of an eSIM to a wireless device. When two different services attempt to install eSIMs on the wireless device in parallel, management software on the wireless device can control an order of installation and disallow duplicate installations of an identical eSIM to the wireless device. The management software can also monitor eSIM installations and manage alert notifications that occur during the eSIM installation process.

Abstract: This Application sets forth techniques for managing electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) profiles at a wireless device, including accommodating delays and/or error conditions that can occur during provisioning, installation, and/or activation of an eSIM for the wireless device. A wireless device implements one or more monitoring modes to determine changes in status of a newly installed eSIM, a re-activated eSIM, and/or a replenished data eSIM, and learn when the eSIM can be used to access services of a cellular wireless network. The wireless device can detect eSIM status changes based on messages received from a cellular wireless network or by testing data connections to a pre-configured test connectivity end point.

Abstract: This application sets forth techniques for transfer of a cellular wireless service plan associated with a SIM or an eSIM between non-linked wireless devices. A target wireless device broadcasts an advertisement beacon requesting transfer of a cellular wireless service plan. After successful authentication with a source wireless device, using a manually entered verification code or a QR verification code, the target wireless device selects a cellular wireless service plan to transfer. The source wireless device obtains a transfer token from an MNO entitlement server for transfer of the selected cellular wireless service plan and provides the transfer token to the target wireless device via a secure, short distance Bluetooth connection or, alternatively, embedded in an encrypted QR code. The target wireless device uses the transfer token to obtain a new eSIM associated with transfer of the cellular wireless service plan.

Abstract: This Application sets forth techniques for provisioning and activating an electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) as a primary SIM for a mobile wireless device that includes a limited functionality physical SIM (pSIM) associated with a particular mobile network operator (MNO) and installed in the mobile wireless device at a time of manufacture. An eSIM associated with the particular MNO is reserved during a sales order process and later activated during device activation after receipt by a user using a secure over-the-air (OTA) cellular connection enabled by the limited functionality pSIM, when a non-cellular connection or other Internet accessible connection is available. Dual SIM device configuration processes can be suppressed during activation of the eSIM. After successful attachment of the mobile wireless device to a cellular wireless network of the particular MNO using credentials of the eSIM, the limited functionality pSIM is disabled.
