    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.

    Abstract: A method for reducing packet loss during data transfer from a network to a wireless communication device over a connection is disclosed. The method can include the wireless communication device signaling a first receive window size for a data transfer; determining occurrence of an event resulting in an interruption of the connection; and, in response to determining occurrence of the event, signaling a second receive window size for the data transfer prior to the event to trigger an adjustment of a data rate of the data transfer in preparation for the event.

    Abstract: A method for negotiating a session personality based at least in part on a roaming agreement is provided. The method can include a roaming access network receiving an identifier provided by an access terminal attendant to establishment of a session between the access terminal and the roaming access network. The method can further include the roaming access network using the identifier to determine a home network associated with the access terminal. The method can additionally include the roaming access network determining one or more radio access technology (RAT) versions covered by a roaming agreement between the home network and the roaming access network. The method can also include the roaming access network negotiating a session personality for use in the session based at least in part on the one or more RAT versions covered by the roaming agreement.

    Abstract: This Application sets forth techniques for binding and dynamic provisioning of international mobile equipment identifier (IMEI) values with cellular wireless service profiles, such as subscriber identity modules (SIMS) on physical SIM (pSIM) cards and electronic SIMs (eSIMs) on an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) of the mobile wireless device. When pSIMs and/or eSIMs change on the mobile wireless device, e.g., based on installation, activation, deactivation, de-installation, etc., IMEI binding logic accounts for the changes and maps IMEI values to pSIMs and/or eSIMs as required. IMEI values can be assigned based on a history of bindings between IMEI values and ICCID values of one or more eSIMS on an eUICC. A most recently used or a newly assigned IMEI value can be associated with an eSIM. Whether to assign an identical IMEI value to multiple eSIMs depends on requirements of associated cellular wireless service subscriptions.
