Abstract: A device and method for a user equipment (UE) to implement power savings mechanisms when operating within a significant location. The UE identifies that the UE is at a significant location. The significant location is a location relative to a currently camped cell of a network. At a first time and at the significant location, the UE performs a type of operation related to the network connection. The UE stores information corresponding to the performance of the type of operation at the first time in a profile associated with the significant location. At a second time and at the significant location, the UE performs the type of operation related to the network connection. The performance of the type of operation at the second time is modified based on the information stored in the profile associated with the significant location.

Abstract: Techniques to manage updates for eSIMs of a secondary wireless device are disclosed. Responsive to a user input, expiration of a timer, receipt of a message from an associated primary wireless device, processing circuitry of the secondary wireless device commands an eUICC to update an eSIM. A secure data connection is established between the eUICC and a network provisioning server, either directly from the secondary wireless device to a cellular wireless network or relayed indirectly via the primary wireless device. The eUICC and the network provisioning server exchange messages in accordance with a BIP process to update the eSIM. The eUICC provides a status to the processing circuitry indicating success or failure for the eSIM update. Upon success, a portion of the secondary wireless device may be placed in a reduced power state. Upon failure, the eSIM update process may repeat up to a maximum number of retries.

Abstract: This application describes managing configuration of a bootstrap electronic SIM (eSIM) for a wireless device. A bootstrap eSIM on an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) of the wireless device is configured as needed to provide cellular wireless access. The bootstrap eSIM is configured with an initial international mobile subscriber identity (i-IMSI) value used to establish a cellular connection to obtain a bootstrap IMSI (b-IMSI) value allocated for temporary, dedicated use by the wireless device. The b-IMSI value is selected by a bootstrap server based on a bootstrap selection rule obtained from a bootstrap rules service, where the bootstrap selection rule accounts for a use case type provided by the wireless device and indicating a purpose for use of the b-IMSI value. The b-IMSI value is returned to a pool for use by other wireless devices after expiration of a timer or responsive to a delete notification message.

Abstract: This application sets forth techniques for dynamically managing a shared provisioning electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) for a wireless device. A shared (non-unique) provisioning eSIM is installed in the wireless device to provide limited functionality connectivity to services, such as for device activation and user eSIM provisioning. The shared provisioning eSIM includes records of IMSI values organized into groups of IMSI pools and priorities for selecting IMSI values for configuring the shared provisioning eSIM. An on-device shared provisioning SIM/eSIM controller resident on a cellular baseband processor of the wireless device selects and configures the shared provisioning eSIM with IMSI values based on the priorities and on results from scanning for available public land mobile networks (PLMNs). The shared provisioning eSIM can be re-configured with different IMSI values selected from different IMSI pools until successful registration using the configured provisioning eSIM occurs or a maximum number or retries occurs.
