Patent number: 11963091Abstract: Embodiments herein achieve a method for handling registration and session management in a wireless communication system. The method includes registering, by a User Equipment (UE), with a first core network entity over a 3GPP access network and a non-3GPP access network. Further, the method includes triggering, by the UE, a registration procedure to a second core network over the 3GPP access network when a periodic timer of the UE expires in an OOS state. Further, the method includes receiving, by the UE, a non-access stratum (NAS) message, over the 3GPP access network, with an indication to register for the non-3GPP access network with the second core network entity. Further, the method includes reinitiating the registration procedure to register again for the non-3GPP access with the second core network entity through the non-3GPP access network.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Lalith Kumar, Alok Kumar Jangid, Kailash Kumar Jha, Danish Ehsan Hashmi, Govind Irappa Uttur

Patent number: 11963009Abstract: Arrangements for dynamic enterprise center access control are provided. In some examples, a user device may be detected and current location and/or user data associated with the detected device may be requested. Upon receiving the location data, a current geographic location of the user device may be determined and an enterprise center at or near the geographic location may be identified. Received user data may be analyzed to identify a user and retrieve access preferences associated with the user. Based on the access preferences, a command to lock or unlock a door (e.g., permit or disable access) to an area within the enterprise center, the enterprise center in general, or the like, may be generated and transmitted to a computing device for execution. Accordingly, the system may activate desired locking configurations based on user preferences. Upon detecting that the user is no longer at the enterprise center, a command to return to default settings may be generated, transmitted and executed.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: David Alan Stern, Lauren Elizabeth Schuler, Christopher Broome
