摘要： 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.

摘要： 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.

摘要： 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.

摘要： A method includes a wireless mobile device communicating with a wireless network via an evolved high rate packet data (eHRPD) interface. The wireless mobile device may receive a vendor specific network control protocol (VSNCP) packet such as a terminate-request packet, for example, that indicates the wireless network has requested a PDN disconnection. The VSNCP packet includes a cause code that indicates a reason for the PDN disconnection request. The wireless device may use the cause code to determine the reason for the PDN disconnection request. Accordingly, in response to receiving the VSNCP packet, the wireless mobile device may perform one or more operations in an effort to resolve any issues that may have caused the PDN disconnection request.

摘要： 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.
