Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a smart phone or a wearable device, such as a smart watch, and associated methods for enabling the UE device to switch from a normal mode to/from a voice-to-text mode and/or a text-to-voice mode. The transition to/from voice-to-text mode and/or text-to-voice mode may be conducted automatically or through manual selection by the user of the UE. These transitions (or the presentation of a manual selection option) may be determined based on an ambient noise measurement performed by the UE.

Abstract: A method is performed by a set of one or more servers and includes receiving, from a first user equipment (UE) to be activated with a cellular carrier for a user, and at the set of one or more servers, information identifying a second UE of the user and authentication information for authenticating the user with the cellular carrier. The method further includes authenticating the user using the authentication information; transmitting a password to the second UE at least partly in response to authenticating the user; receiving, from the first UE and at the set of one or more servers, the password; validating the password received from the first UE; and initiating a transfer of an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) subscription, from the second UE to the first UE, at least partly in response to validating the password.

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: Methods, devices, and systems for establishing a geofence for a Non-Public Network (NPN) using an Embedded Subscriber Identity Module (eSIM) associated with the NPN. The method includes receiving, by a receiver of a User Equipment (UE), an eSIM associated with an NPN, where the eSIM includes geofencing data. The UE performs wireless communication using the NPN when the UE is within an area defined by the geofencing data.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods to transfer user preferences for cellular wireless service associated credentials transferred from a source device to a target device. Transfer of credentials can include physically moving a physical subscriber identity module (SIM) card between devices, transfer of cellular wireless service from a first SIM card at the source device to a second SIM card at the target device, and/or transfer of cellular wireless services for one or more electronic SIMs (eSIMs) from the source device to the target device. Preferences associated with some or all of the transferred SIMs/eSIMs can be applied at the target device when certain matching criteria are satisfied. Exemplary matching criteria include matching identifiers, such as integrated circuit card identifier (ICCID) values, mobile station international subscriber directory number (MSISDN) values, and/or mappings thereof. Transfer of preferences can occur via a local peer-to-peer connection, a secure cloud-based service, and/or a backup and restore process.

Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating transfer of an eSIM subscription from a source device to a target device. In one embodiment, a source device includes a transceiver and a processor system. The processor system includes an eUICC configured to store an eSIM associated with an eSIM subscription. The processor system is configured to transmit, via the transceiver and to an eSIM subscription manager server, a request for an eSIM subscription transfer activation code; receive, via the transceiver and at least partly in response to the request, a server nonce; generate a signed payload using the server nonce and source device information; transmit, via the transceiver and to the eSIM subscription manager server, the signed payload; receive, via the transceiver and in response to transmitting the signed payload, the eSIM subscription transfer activation code; and provide the eSIM subscription transfer activation code to the target device or a user thereof.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for network interface management for Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) deployments, e.g., in LTE and/or 5G NR systems and beyond, including methods for coarse selection of CBRS networks and fine selection of CBRS networks as well as support for multiple CBRS networks. Coarse selection of CBRS networks may include various triggers for automatic CBRS profile enabling and/or disabling, user management and overriding of system selections, tiered hierarchy for CBRS network enabling and/or disabling, as well as mechanisms to avoid ping-ponging between network selection. Fine selection of CBRS networks may include data slot switching between mobile network operators (MNOs, e.g., LTE/NR macro cells) and CBRS eSIM as well as prioritization of CBRS networks over Wi-Fi networks. Multiple CBRS networks support may include CBRS network identifier (NID) matching for unique identification as well as user-ranked CBRS priority.

Abstract: This Application describes mechanisms to transfer cellular service plans and associated credentials efficiently between wireless devices. Information regarding transferability of cellular services for SIMs/eSIMs to a wireless device are obtained from locally stored or remotely accessible cellular service information and/or associated mobile network operator (MNO) information. Access to network-based servers to determine transferability and/or to effect transfer can use non-cellular connections when available. Transferability information can be presented to a user to narrow selection of cellular service plans to transfer.
