Abstract: Methods and devices for a user equipment (UE) device to utilize an electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) to provide backup cellular connectivity for essential services and security enhancements. A UE device receives user input to alter an operational state of the UE. The user input may include removing a physical subscriber identity module (SIM) card installed in the UE or attempting to power off the UE. In response to receiving the user input, an authorization process is initiated. In response to determining that the authorization process has failed, a security enhancement is implemented for the UE.

Abstract: A communications network may be used to convey Short Message Service (SMS) messages using the Internet Protocol (IP). User equipment may transmit an SMS-over-IP Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message to wireless equipment over a high-bandwidth communications link. The wireless equipment may route the SMS-over-IP SIP message to the ePDG. When the high-bandwidth link is unavailable, the user equipment may transmit a compressed message to the proxy server over a low-bandwidth communications link. The proxy server may convert the compressed message into an SMS-over-IP SIP message that is transmitted to the ePDG. The proxy server may serve as a proxy for the first user equipment from the perspective of the ePDG. This may allow SMS message data to continue to be conveyed through the communications network even when the high-bandwidth communications link becomes unavailable.

Abstract: A method for a wireless UE device to utilize tokens and cloud service technology to facilitate the provision of location data to an emergency call center. The UE may provide cellular signaling to initiate an outgoing telephone call to an emergency call center. A token may be provided during the signaling, wherein the token is associated with location information of the UE device stored on a server computer (referred to as a cloud server or location server). The token may uniquely identify the UE device and/or a user cloud service account of the UE device. The call center may use the token to retrieve location information of the UE from the cloud server. The use of the token may also provide for enhanced security, e.g., to prevent spoofing of the UE phone number.

Abstract: A method performed by a station that includes receiving information from a cell of a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), determining whether the information indicates the cell supports circuit switched fallback (CSFB) voice calls, when the CSFB voice calls are not supported, determining whether at least one packet switched voice property of the station satisfies a predetermined condition and attaching to the cell of the PLMN when the predetermined condition is satisfied. A further method performed by a station connected to a PLMN that includes identifying cells of the PLMN available for the station to camp on, determining whether the station is capable of executing packet switched calls, when the station is not capable of executing packet switched calls, determining whether the identified cells have a neighbor cell that supports CSFB voice calls and prioritizing the cells that are identified as having neighbor cells that support CSFB voice calls.
