  • Patent number: 11595793
    Abstract: Wireless mobile device functionality can be added to radio devices via a hardware device that comprises wireless network access. Alternatively, radio device functionality can be shared with a wireless mobile device or the hardware device. The functionalities of either device can be shared via a physical or wireless connection. For example, a microphone device comprising a display screen and long-term evolution (LTE) functionality can be connected to a radio device to facilitate LTE functionality for the radio device. Thus, a user of the radio device can utilize the display screen of the microphone device to send text data, which could not previously be sent by the radio device, over the wireless network via the microphone device.

  • Patent number: 11589280
    Abstract: This application provides a method for returning from a low-standard network to a high-standard network, to resolve a problem that a primary card of a terminal device in dual SIM dual standby single pass mode cannot return to the high-standard network after falling back from the high-standard network to the low-standard network during a data service. The method includes: detecting that a first subscriber identification module SIM card of the terminal device falls back from a first-standard network to a second-standard network; obtaining a registration status of a second SIM card, where the registration status includes an operator of the second SIM card and a network on which the second SIM card camps, and the first SIM card and the second SIM card enable the terminal device to work in the dual SIM dual standby single pass mode; obtaining a target standard network based on the registration status of the second SIM card; and registering the first SIM card with the target standard network.

  • Patent number: 11576034
    Abstract: One subscriber identity module (SIM) can transmit data in active mode while another SIM is in an idle mode. However, paging for the SIM in idle mode can occur based on a discontinuous reception configuration (DRX) cycle of the active SIM. For example, when the DRX of the active SIM indicates that the active SIM is in an idle state, then the SIM that is currently in an idle state can send messages and vice versa. The DRX cycle information can be exchanged between a first core network and a second core network. Each core network can belong to the same or different mobile network operator and can have separate radio access networks (RAN) or share the RAN. The DRX cycle information and/or a time-division multiplexing (TDM) pattern can be exchanged over the air via a system information broadcast message.

  • Patent number: 11558434
    Abstract: Call spoofing can be mitigated by providing geolocation information to the called device. For example, when a call rings, a geolocator can be invoked and the incoming call display screen can show a carrier logo and/or a geolocator globe illustrating the location of the call originator. The geolocation session initiation protocol data can be confirmed by a network device and compared against carrier specific data of the calling device to authenticate voice calls for called devices. In one embodiment location data of the calling device can purposely be shared in order to facilitate the mitigation of call spoofing.
