  • System and method for prioritizing requests to a SIM
    Patent number: 9420063
    Abstract: The method and system relate to prioritizing access and shaping traffic to the SIM such that the requests to the SIM that pertain to registering the wireless mobile device on a network are given a higher priority than other requests to the SIM. The higher priority requests that relate to registering the mobile device on a network may be processed by the SIM prior to at least one other request that is not related to registering the mobile device on the network.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 20, 2015
    Date of Patent: August 16, 2016
    Assignee: QUALCOMM Incorporated
    Inventors: Michele Berionne, Vivek Shankar, K. Shreyas Hegde, J. Alfredo Ruvalcaba

  • Method and apparatus for power management of UICC
    Patent number: 9100918
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for saving power in a user equipment (UE), which includes discovering at least one available access technology radio access network (RAN) having at least one access technology type, switching off power to a removable Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) having subscription information for a second technology type different from a first technology type when a first technology type RAN is the only access technology RAN available, and establishing access to first technology type RAN user subscription information in a nonvolatile memory (NV) on the UE when a first technology type RAN is the only access technology RAN available.
