  • Patent number: 11711693
    Abstract: A non-SI device (120) is arranged for wireless communication (130) and cooperates with an SI device (110) having access to a subscriber identity. The non-SI device has a transceiver (121) to communicate in a local network and a processor (122) to establish an association with the SI. A non-SI public key is provided to the SI device via a first communication channel. A verification code is shared with the SI device via a second communication channel. The channels are different and include an out-of-band channel (140). Proof of possession of a non-SI private key is provided to the SI device via the first or the second communication channel. From the SI device, security data is received that is related to the SI and is computed using the non-SI public key. The security data reliably enables the non-SI device to access the core network via the local network and a gateway between the local network and the core network.

  • Patent number: 11611878
    Abstract: Traveling road information including traveling roads of another vehicle and the own vehicle is acquired on the basis of own-vehicle information and other-vehicle information received by a reception unit. Whether or not verification processing is needed for verification information accompanying the other-vehicle information received by the reception unit is determined on the basis of the traveling road information and the other-vehicle information. Thus, a message unnecessary for the own vehicle is not subjected to verification, so that the load on the vehicle communication device is reduced.

  • Patent number: 11523002
    Abstract: A network services provider delivers bandwidth services to users in relation to a dynamic limit based on an average user consumption, rather than a fixed amount per subscriber. An average user consumption is employed to compute a consumption limit from relative portions of a user community substantially exceed the average, typically defined as “heavy users.” Usage levels below the consumption limit have an increased availability up to the consumption limit. The consumption limit may vary from a total capacity of the service infrastructure, which changes, generally in an increasing manner, as additional resources are added to the network. The consumption limits may be defined over different service intervals, such as daily, weekly or monthly, and for different groups of users depending on network layout.

  • Patent number: 11483793
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for determining a location of a user equipment (UE) communicating over a shared communication medium in unlicensed spectrum. In an aspect, the UE measures a positioning reference signal (PRS) from a first evolved NodeB (eNB) for a first secondary cell (Scell) and a second PRS from a second eNB for a second Scell. The UE reports the first and second PRS measurements and the first and second PRS measurement times to a location server. In an aspect, the first and second PRS are configured according to a common PRS configuration. The location server also receives transmission times of the PRS signals from the first and second eNBs. Using the measurement and transmission times, the location server can associate the first PRS measurement to the first eNB and the second PRS measurement to the second eNB, thereby assisting the location server to obtain a location for the UE.

  • Patent number: 11477641
    Abstract: Methods for authentication session transfer using application download links are performed by systems and devices. A user or administrator at a first device enables the user to use an application at the user's mobile device. The user or administrator provides a request for the mobile application from the first device to an identity service. The identity service generates a uniform resource locator (URL) that encodes an authentication object generated by the identity service that is specific to the user's identity, and provides the URL to the mobile device. The identity service receives the authentication object back from a browser session of the URL at the user device, and establishes an authenticated browser session of the URL using the authentication object. The identity services authenticates the user's identity for the mobile application responsive to the mobile application invoking the authenticated browser session at the user device.
