Patent number: 11032704Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe authentication of a user equipment (UE) in a network. It can be determined, by the UE, to access a discovered network for wireless communications, and based on a service provider associated with the discovered network, to use a modified universal subscriber identity module (USIM) subscription stored in the UE for authentication with the discovered network. The UE can obtain a subscriber identifier for authenticating on the discovered network via the authentication, where the subscriber identifier is generated based at least in part on a service provider identifier associated with the service provider and a modified mobile subscriber identity associated with the service provider. The UE can send the subscriber identifier to a node of the discovered network for the authentication.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2018Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Vinay Joseph, Anand Palanigounder, Michele Berionne, Philip Hawkes, Rajat Prakash

Patent number: 10003959Abstract: Systems and methods for the subscriber identity module (SIM) access profile (SAP) over Bluetooth. In one embodiment, intermediate responses from a SIM card containing procedure bytes are not transmitted to the client, but rather the appropriate response is generated by the server and sent to the SIM card. In another embodiment, the client groups together multiple command APDUs (Application Protocol Data Unit) into one message before sending out to the server, and the message may also contain parameters indicating various actions to be taken by the server in case an error is generated. In another embodiment, the client instructs the server to perform poling of the SIM card in an autonomous manner for any proactive data. Embodiments are not limited to a SIM card, and are applicable to other types of smart cards, such as an UICC (Universal Integrated Circuit Card).Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2015Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Michele Berionne, Vivek Shankar, Karthik Sekuru

Publication number: 20160095023Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication. A modem processor of a user equipment (UE) may receive a switch indication directing the modem to utilize a designated SIM and may access identification (ID) information from the SIM, including ID information for a network operator. The modem processor may then retrieve a stored access point name (APN) associated with the network operator and establish a connection to the data network identified by the stored APN. In some cases, the APN may be stored in the modem processor after a successful connection to the data network using the designated SIM. In some cases, the UE may also identify a network priority rule associated with the network operator of the SIM and establish the connection to the data network based on the priority rule.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2015Publication date: March 31, 2016Inventors: Ajith Tom Payyappilly, Michele Berionne, Juan Zhang, Gerardo Giaretta

Publication number: 20150296369Abstract: Various embodiments provide methods implemented on a mobile communication device for generating a database of information associated with a plurality of profiles associated with a SIM installed in the mobile communication device in order to enable the device to efficiently switch between profiles by utilizing the information stored in the database. In various embodiments, the mobile communication device may populate the profile database with information, data, and/or values needed to acquire service/camp on a network for each of a plurality of profiles associated with the SIM by activating each profile, collecting such service information associated with each activated profile, and storing the service information in the profile database for use in switching between the plurality of profiles at a later time. Specifically, by using information already determined to be relevant to and/or necessary for acquiring service with a profile, the mobile communication device may switch to that profile quickly.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2015Publication date: October 15, 2015Inventors: Michele Berionne, Tze Kwan Lau, Kiran Kuman Vemareddy
