Publication number: 20180063336Abstract: A method may include determining a number of user devices that can access data services in a wireless network and storing information identifying the determined number of user devices for each of a number of sectors for each of a number of periods of time. The method may also include receiving a request from a first user device associated with a first user for access to data services during a first period of time, accessing the stored information to determine whether to grant the request and providing access to data services via the wireless network to the first user device. The method may further include excluding data usage by the first user device during the first period of time from being applied against a data limit associated with the user's data plan.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2017Publication date: March 1, 2018Inventors: Jeremy P. Bolton, Luke D. VonFeldt, Christopher M. Perry, Mamadou Mamoune Niang, Barry F. Hoffner, Mark Andrews, Scott A. Townley, Lixia Yan, Marc Chiaverini, Javier A. Ferro, Hiywote Demisse, Ratul K.

Patent number: 8837449Abstract: A universal integrated circuit card (UICC) may include a universal subscriber identity module (USIM); a code division multiple access (CDMA) subscriber identity module (CSIM); a memory to store instructions; and a processor. The processor may execute instructions to determine a type of wireless access network available to a user equipment (UE) associated with the UICC; perform updates of the UICC using the USIM, in response to detecting a CDMA enhanced High Rate Packet Data (eHRPD) network, a Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) access network, or a Long Term Evolution (LTE) access network; and perform updates of the UICC using the CSIM, in response to detecting an available CDMA access network other than a CDMA eHRPD access network.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2010Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignees: Cellco Partnership, Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Xuming Chen, Lawrence S. Rybar, Bhaskar Srinivasiah, Praveen Venkataramu, Bjorn Hjelm

Patent number: 8515384Abstract: Quick wireless access for data network communication is provided to a data device by provision of an access management unit incorporated in the data device. A default network access identifier (NAI), unique to the data device, permits limited access to a wireless network provider's provisioning platform so that the device can be authenticated and access to a data network authorized for a preset service period. Replenishment for a new service period may be provided.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2010Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Cellco PartnershipInventors: Taher Farkhondehl, Cheryl Christine Noti, Bhaskar Srinivasiah
