Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to transfer of credentials between two mobile wireless devices that are within proximity of each other, via a secure local connection, or via a network-based cloud service, where the two mobile wireless devices are not in proximity to each other. Transfer of credentials can include communication between a source device, a target device, and/or one more network-based servers, which can include mobile network operator (MNO) managed servers, such as an entitlement server, a web-sheet server, an authentication server, a provisioning server, a subscription management data preparation (SM-DP+) server, a home subscriber server (HSS), and/or an authentication server, as well as third-party managed servers, such as a cloud service server and/or an identification services server. Authentication can be based at least in part on one or more tokens and/or a trust flag obtained by the source device and provided to the target device.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may identify that an emergency call is being initiated and send further messages including the location of the UE. The UE receives emergency location signaling parameters, identifies that an emergency communication has been initiated by the UE based on the emergency location signaling parameters and transmits a message to an endpoint associated with emergency services based on the identification of the emergency message being initiated, wherein the message includes location information for the UE.

Abstract: The described embodiments set forth techniques for recovering one or more electronic subscriber identity modules (eSIMs) previously deleted from an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) of a mobile wireless device. Prior to deletion of an eSIM, the mobile wireless device uploads first eSIM subscription information to a cloud network services server and stores second eSIM subscription information in a secure memory of the eUICC. The mobile wireless device can subsequently download the first eSIM subscription information to verify matching to the second eSIM subscription information stored in the eUICC before displaying an option for recovering the eSIM. The mobile wireless device sends to a mobile network operator (MNO) provisioning server an eSIM recovery request notification that includes at least a portion of the first eSIM subscription information, and the MNO provisioning server provides an eSIM recovery response message indicating approval and a network address to download the eSIM.

Abstract: This Application describes efficient cellular service transfer mechanisms to move cellular services that are based on cellular service credentials, e.g., eSIMs, between accessory wireless devices under various scenarios, including in some embodiments transfer of multiple eSIMs. The first and second accessory wireless devices and the primary wireless device are associated with a common user account. Transfer of credentials for cellular service access can occur between two accessory wireless devices via the primary wireless device, where the primary wireless device and the accessory wireless devices interact with applicable network-based servers.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to manage registration for cellular services of a secondary wireless device associated with a primary wireless device are disclosed. The secondary wireless device can detect entering proximity to the primary wireless device and in response to the detecting deactivate a cellular wireless interface of the secondary wireless device to conserve battery power, and provide an indication to the primary wireless device, via a non-cellular wireless interface, to cause the primary wireless device to perform a deregistration of the secondary wireless device for cellular services. The secondary wireless device can establish connections and communicate via non-cellular wireless interfaces while within proximity of the primary wireless device. Upon leaving proximity of the primary wireless device, the secondary wireless device can activate the cellular wireless interface and register for cellular services to permit establishing connections and communicating directly with a cellular wireless network via the cellular wireless interface.

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: Embodiments described herein relate to managing access to 5G cellular baseband resources for 5G-capable wireless devices. A wireless device can monitor application workloads by analyzing communication network performance requirements for a given application in-use or launching for future use along with system-level indications of overall device usage, battery level, and mobility status to determine whether access to 5G cellular baseband resources is recommended for an application. A 5G cellular baseband resource recommendation is provided for an application indicating a level of bandwidth in current use or expected for future use as well as a confidence metric in the bandwidth level indication. The 5G cellular baseband resource recommendation is used with additional device criteria to determine whether access to one or more 5G radio frequency bands is allowed.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods to support emergency services sessions by network elements and by a wireless device are disclosed. The wireless device, when roaming to a visited country/region, queries a network-based server to obtain information for Public Land Mobile Networks (PLMNs) that support emergency services sessions via non-cellular wireless access in the visited country/region. The network-based server responds with a list of PLMNs from which the wireless device selects a PLMN. The wireless device further queries the network-based server to obtain information for evolved Packet Data Gateways (ePDGs) for a selected PLMN and receives from the network-based server a list of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for ePDGs that support emergency services sessions via non-cellular wireless access for the selected PLMN. The wireless device further queries the network-based server for local numbers of the visited country for establishing emergency services sessions and receives a categorized list of local numbers for emergency services.
