  • Patent number: 11496957
    Abstract: A mobile network operator (MNO) base station, e.g., an eNB, instructs a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) user equipment (UE) to monitor to detect signals from base stations in its MVNO network and to report back the results. If the UE reports to the MNO base station, that it has detected signals from base stations, e.g. CBSDs, in its MVNO, the MNO base station applies one or more rules included in a stored Service Profile Identifier, corresponding to the UE, the applying of the one or more rules causes the MNO base station to disconnect or deny service to the UE. Alternatively, when it is determined that the UE did not detect a signal from a base station, e.g. a CBSD, in its MVNO, then the MNO base station provides communications service to the UE.

  • Patent number: 11490328
    Abstract: A data communication system serves a User Equipment (UE) over a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network core. In the data communication system, a 3GPP UE client exchanges authentication data with the 3GPP network core over a non-3GPP link. The 3GPP network core authenticates the 3GPP UE client, selects a network slice for the 3GPP UE client, and establishes an N1 link for the network slice over the non-3GPP link. The 3GPP UE client exchanging network signaling with the 3GPP network core for the network slice over the N1 link. The 3GPP UE client exchanges additional authentication data with the 3GPP network core over the non-3GPP link. The 3GPP network core selects another network slice for the 3GPP UE client and establishes another N1 link for the other network slice over the non-3GPP link. The 3GPP UE client exchanges additional network signaling with the 3GPP network core for the other network slice over the other N1 link.

  • Patent number: 11490351
    Abstract: Provided are a method and device for efficient public land mobile network (PLMN) selection upon authentication failure for each network slice in a roaming network. A user equipment (UE) receives a registration rejection message from an access and mobility management function (AMF) of a first PLMN. The registration rejection message includes rejected network slice selection assistance information (NSSAI) including first single NSSAI (S-NSSAI) and cause value #62 for the rejected NSSAI. The UE: generates second requested NSSAI including second S-NSSAI on the basis that i) the UE does not have allowed NSSAI and configured NSSAI, and ii) default configured NSSAI includes the second S-NSSAI that is not included in the rejected NSSAI and corresponds to a network slice of which the UE requests registration; and transmits a second registration request message including the second requested NSSAI to the AMF of the first PLMN.
