Abstract: This Application sets forth techniques for profile, e.g., subscriber identity module (SIM) and electronic SIM (eSIM), and cellular wireless service subscription management for a wireless device. The wireless device can support multiple profiles, such as dual SIMS or a single SIM and one or more eSIMs. A user of the wireless device can flexibly enable and disable various eSIMs or change the use of physical SIMs with different associated cellular wireless service subscriptions, and mapping of subscription modules to logical channels and physical hardware interfaces can occur automatically, with mechanisms to reset interfaces when required.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing non-active subscriber identity module (SIM) services leveraging multiple SIMs configured at multiple UEs are disclosed herein. A primary user equipment (UE), activating a first SIM of a dual SIM dual standby (DSDS) configuration used by the primary UE to perform active-mode network communications on the first SIM and sends, to a secondary UE, an indication to activate a second SIM of the DSDS configuration in response to the activating the first SIM of the DSDS configuration used by the primary UE. The secondary UE receives the indication to activate the second SIM of the first DSDS configuration used by the primary UE and activates the second SIM for use by the secondary UE in response to receiving the indication. Accordingly, the secondary UE may handle any network communications on the second SIM during the network communications on the first SIM at the primary UE.

Abstract: Recovering a user equipment (UE) from limited service due to misconfiguration may include providing a universal subscriber identity module (USIM) identification data or a USIM authentication data to a wireless network. Failure data associated with failing to authenticate or identify the UE to the wireless network may be decoded. The failure data received from the wireless network. The failure data may be processed to determine a cause for the failure. Based on processing the failure data, it may be determined that the USIM identification data or the USIM authentication data is misconfigured. In response to determining that the USIM identification data or the USIM authentication data is misconfigured, a recovery for identifying or authenticating the UE to the wireless network may be automatically performed.

Abstract: The described embodiments set forth techniques for testing a wireless device configured to use an embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) and excluding a removable UICC card. A test apparatus processes application protocol data units (APDUs) for conformance with a standardized test specification, where the APDUs are provided by an eSIM command handler client application that interfaces with a baseband processor in communication with the eUICC that includes test profiles with test applets.

Abstract: Embodiments are described herein for transferring a subscriber identity module (SIM) or electronic SIM (eSIM) profile securely from a source device to a target device with verifiable signatures generated by secure hardware elements of the source device contingent on receipt of a secure intent gesture. Trustworthiness of the profile transfer is based on a mobile network operator (MNO) entitlement server releasing a transfer token after verification of a message signed by an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) of the source device. The eUICC signs the message only after verifying a message from a secure enclave processor (SEP) of the source device that signs the message based on receipt of the secure intent gesture via a secure interface. To validate communication between the SEP and the eUICC, an asymmetric cryptographic key pair generated by the SEP is bound to a unique eUICC identifier (EID) value of the eUICC.

Abstract: This Application sets forth techniques for managing subscriber identity module (SIM) toolkit (STK) scheduling for multiple enabled electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) profiles on an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) of a wireless device, including managing multiple STK sessions at a baseband processor external to the eUICC of the wireless device. To forestall STK communication for different eSIMs from interfering with execution of processes associated with the eSIMs, a baseband processor can schedule STK sessions to avoid overlap and reduce opportunities for errors in handling eSIM processes. The baseband processor can prioritize whether to queue commands for a second STK session for a second eSIM until a first STK session for a first eSIM ends or to terminate the first STK session to handle the second STK session.
