Abstract: Method, apparatuses, and systems are described for determining a connection with the user device based on a request to activate a user device on a network of a first operator according to a first identifier of a subscriber configured to grant access to a network of a second operator. The connection may be configured for communication over a plurality of paths based on an identifier of the connection. The user device may be configured to store the first identifier of the subscriber and a second identifier of the subscriber. The network of the first operator may be accessible according to the first identifier of the subscriber.

Abstract: This disclosure includes a method, alone or in combination with other methods or steps described herein. The method may include defining, based on a multipath option and an identifier, a first connection with user equipment according to a first network provider over a path of a first network that comprises packet-switched signaling. The method may include defining, based on the identifier, a second connection with the user equipment according to a second network provider over a path of a second network that comprises the packet-switched signaling. The method may include receiving first data over the path of the first network and second data over the path of the second network. The method may include sending a combination of the first data and the second data to an application server. The method may include receiving, based on the combination, a response. The method may include sending the response to the user equipment.
