Abstract: An administrative or relay device can communicate with a target device, for example to disable lost or stolen devices using an SMS command. The SMS command is encrypted to prevent malicious attacks. The SMS command includes a universal device identifier unique to the target device, the phone number of the relaying device, and a time stamp memorializing command creation. The relaying device relays the encrypted command to the target device. Successful decryption authenticates the administrative or relay device. Before executing the command, however, the target device reviews the unique identifier to verify the target and compares the phone number of the relaying device with the number identified with the incoming SMS message to authenticate the relaying device. The target device also considers an embedded time stamp to determine whether the command is superseded by a subsequently issued though later received command.

Abstract: A wireless communication system comprises Public Land Mobile Networks (PLMNs) that use Uniform Data Repositories (UDRs) to serve wireless User Equipment (UEs) over wireless network slices. A serving PLMN determines a UE Identifier (ID) for a wireless UE and a slice ID for a wireless network slice. The serving PLMN indicates the UE ID and the slice ID to a Service Communication Proxy (SCP) in the serving PLMN. The SCP selects a UDR in a different PLMN based on the UE ID and the slice ID. The SCP indicates the UE ID and the slice ID to the selected UDR in the different PLMN. The selected UDR in the different PLMN transfers UE information for the UE for delivery to the network element in the serving PLMN. The network element in the serving PLMN controls the wireless network slice for the wireless UE based on the UE information.
