    Abstract: This disclosure relates to caching SIM files at a baseband processor to reduce cellular bootup time. According to one embodiment, a wireless device may read SIM files from a SIM and store a local copy of each file in a cache of the baseband processor of the wireless device. SIM identification information for the SIM from which the cached files were read may be associated with the cache. Indicator information usable for comparing file versions may also be generated and stored in the cache for each file. Upon a subsequent SIM initialization, the wireless device may read SIM files from the cache instead of from the initialized SIM if the cached version is identical to the SIM version, which may be determined based at least in part on the SIM identification information and the indicator information for such files.

    Abstract: Selecting a subscriber identity in a user equipment (UE) device having multiple subscriber identities. Location information may be obtained using a first wireless communication technology. The location information may be provided to a subscriber identity module (SIM) in the UE device. A first subscriber identity may be selected by the SIM based on the location information. The UE device may be registered with a network using a second wireless communication technology. The first subscriber identity may be used to register the UE device with the network.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for accepting software updates without interruption of ongoing services. Various embodiments are adapted for maintaining service continuity in multi-mode devices such as cellular devices. In one exemplary implementation, unlike prior art solutions (which interrupt user identity module software to implement changes to the network access software), unnecessary updates can be postponed or otherwise scheduled so as to minimize or eliminate service or user experience impact.

    Abstract: A processor in a mobile wireless device communicates detailed state information about attachments to a user identity module card embedded in the mobile wireless device. The processor detects a change in an attach state of the mobile wireless device for at least one of a plurality of attachment types. The processor determines the attach state of the mobile wireless device for each of the plurality of attachment types and sends a status message to the user identity module card indicating the determined attach states. The plurality of attachment types can include at least a circuit switched attachment and a packet switched attachment. The processor can wait until completion of circuit switched and packet switched attachments of the mobile wireless device to the wireless network prior to sending the status message.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may camp on a network following a SIM bootup. Specifically, the UE may determine that a SIM implementation module of the UE includes a first SIM application (e.g., USIM) associated with a first cellular radio access technology (RAT) (e.g., LTE) and a second SIM application (e.g., CSIM) associated with a second cellular RAT (e.g., CDMA). The UE may then initialize the first SIM application and the second SIM application. The UE may determine whether the network is configured to support both voice and data communications using the first cellular RAT. If so, the UE may initiate camping on the network with the first cellular RAT in response to determining that the first SIM application is ready, but before the second SIM application is ready. If not, the UE may wait until both the first and second SIM applications are ready before initiating camping on the network.

    Abstract: A user identity module (UIM) is incorporated in user equipment such as a mobile phone or mobile device. The UIM is configured to provision itself while roaming away from a home network as follows. The UIM may: send to the UE a request for information identifying a current radio access technology (RAT) that the UE is camped on; receive the current RAT information from the UE; send to the UE a request for network location information, where the network location information identifies a network in which the UE is currently camped; receive the network location information from the UE; generate an access point name (APN) using the current RAT information and the network location information; and open a channel through the network to a remote agent (e.g., a provisioning server) using the access point name.
