    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A source user equipment (UE) may determine which subscriber identity module (SIM) card to use based on information of the target UE. For example, the target UE may have poor call quality using a first SIM, but high call quality when using a second SIM. The target UE may indicate the call quality for each SIM in subscription information to the source UE. The source UE may determine to use the second SIM of the target UE instead of the first SIM, resulting in higher call quality for the target UE. The subscription information may include a variety of information related to the target UE, such as subscriptions of the target UE, RAT availabilities for the target UE, etc. The target UE may also configure settings for receiving or rejecting data calls. The target UE may configure whether to receive data calls based on connectivity parameters.

    Abstract: With the Internet of Things, many devices and/or objects may be connected to each other using any number of wired or wireless technologies. A user may forget a that may be relevant to an upcoming event. The user may benefit from a mechanism that notifies the user when an event is upcoming in which a specific device or object may be germane but is not proximate to the user. Accordingly, an apparatus may identify a set of device types associated with an upcoming event. The apparatus may determine a device type of the set of device types is disconnected from the apparatus. The apparatus may select a device from a set of devices associated with the at least one device type based on a subset of a set of parameters. The apparatus may provide an indication of the selected device associated with the at least one device type.

    Abstract: The security and privacy are very important aspects of communication. Many technologies have been developed to keeping private messages secure while being transmitted from the sender to the receiver. However, the privacy of the messages can be compromised by notifications of the messages at the receiver. For example, a third party may see a visual notification of private text message displayed on a receiving device, such as a smart phone. Provided herein is an apparatus that receives a message, determines a privacy level of the message, selects a mode of notification of the message based on the determined privacy level of the message, and performs a notification action based on the selected mode of notification.
