Publication number: 20240015685Abstract: Systems and methods provide steering of roaming (SoR) information during a user equipment (UE) mobility registration process. In other systems and methods, instead of triggering mobility and periodic registration, a UE performs initial registration until a valid SoR is received in a visited country or network as long as a subscriber identification module (SIM) or a universal SIM (USIM) of the UE indicates that the UE is expected to receive SoR information due to initial registration in a visited public land mobile network (VPLMN).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: Nitin KUPPELUR, Krisztian KISS, Deepak DASH, Karthik ANANTHARAMAN, Kavya B.

Patent number: 11737157Abstract: Apparatus and methods to support parallel access to services of multiple subscriber identity modules (SIMs) and/or electronic SIMs (eSIMs) by a wireless device are disclosed. The wireless device is a single-radio wireless device that includes wireless circuitry that supports an active voice or video connection via a single radio access network of a cellular wireless network at a time. To send or receive data for a second SIM/eSIM, when an active voice or video connection for a first SIM/eSIM uses the wireless circuitry, the single-radio wireless device can i) establish parallel, linked protocol data unit (PDU) sessions for different SIMs, ii) multiplex traffic for different SIMs over a common radio connection with SIM information embedded in protocol headers for routing by network equipment, and/or iii) use an additional dedicated bearer using a first, active SIM for each data network name (DNN) over which to route for a second, suspended SIM.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2022Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Srinivasan Nimmala, Kavya B. Ravikumar, Krisztian Kiss, Lakshmi N. Kavuri, Utkarsh Kumar, Vijay Venkataraman, Yifan Zhu, Alosious Pradeep Prabhakar, Mohammed Sadique

Publication number: 20230232299Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for performing efficient emergency services fallback. A cellular network element may provide emergency services fallback information to a wireless device during 3GPP 5GS cellular registration. The emergency services fallback information may include an indication of whether emergency services fallback via fallback to evolved packet core service is supported. The emergency services fallback information may also include an indication of whether emergency services fallback via fallback to circuit switched service is supported.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2023Publication date: July 20, 2023Inventors: Vijay Venkataraman, Srinivasan Nimmala, Longda Xing, Kavya B.

Publication number: 20220408393Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing techniques for support recovering service in a radio access technology (RAT) for a multi-mode user equipment (UE). The UE can be registered to communicate in a first RAT, and the UE is in an idle mode, and the UE is in a disable mode with respect to communication in the second RAT. A cell selection for the second RAT can be performed. Afterwards, a registration procedure with a wireless communication system to communicate in the second RAT can be performed. Hence, the UE can receive wireless service from the wireless communication system through a base station associated with the second RAT.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2022Publication date: December 22, 2022Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Vinay Mysore VISWANATH, Nirlesh KOSHTA, Kavya B.

Publication number: 20210368435Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for requesting and providing service of a network slice deemed essential by a user equipment (UE). The UE transmits a request message to the network indicating that essential services are requested, and identifying the essential network slice. Based on the information in the request message, the serving network communicates with one or more network nodes to determine whether the requested services can be provided. This information is packaged in a response message and transmitted to the UE. If the current network is capable of servicing the requested network slice, then the UE remains with the current network. If not, then the UE initiates a search for an alternative network (PLMN or SNPN) capable of supporting the requested services. A successful search causes the UE to register with the newly-found network, whereas an unsuccessful search causes the UE to re-register with the current network.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2021Publication date: November 25, 2021Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Nirlesh KOSHTA, Sridhar PRAKASAM, Karthik ANANTHARAMAN, Vijay VENKATARAMAN, Krisztian KISS, Nitin KUPPELUR, Deepak DASH, Pradeep PANGI, Kavya B.

Publication number: 20210250384Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured with operations to determine whether a network supports non-voice IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) services. The UE determines whether a network with which the UE is communicating supports a non-voice IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) service and when the network supports the non-voice IMS service, initiates an IMS Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session establishment with the network.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2021Publication date: August 12, 2021Inventors: Vijay VENKATARAMAN, Kavya B.
