Abstract: A computer device may include a memory configured to store instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to select to use an access point name (APN) table to be received from a wireless access network and attach to the wireless access network. The processor may be further configured to execute the instructions to receive a Protocol Configuration Options (PCO) message from the wireless access network; retrieve the APN table from the received PCO message; select an APN from the retrieved APN table; and connect to a packet data network associated with the selected APN via the wireless access network using the selected APN.

Abstract: A first network node connects to a Next Generation Mobile network, such as a Fifth Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) network, and receives, from a user equipment, an attach request that additionally includes a Voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) attach request. The first network node performs a procedure, including signaling, to enable the user equipment to connect to the Next Generation Mobile Network; and signals a second node in a VoLTE Network co-located with the Next Generation Mobile network to attach the user equipment in the VoLTE network.

Abstract: A device receives, from an application server, a message destined for a user equipment, and reformats the message into a non-access stratum (NAS) transparent message. The device also provides, to a home subscriber server, a query for an identification of a mobility management entity serving the user equipment, and receives, from the home subscriber server, the identification of the mobility management entity serving the user equipment. The device further provides the NAS transparent message to the identified mobility management entity, where the mobility management entity forwards the NAS transparent message to the user equipment.

Abstract: A method includes attaching to a Packet Data Network (PDN) supporting services over a long term evolution (LTE) network to establish a first network connection. The method includes connecting to a wireless local area network, e.g. a WiFi network, to establish a second network connection. The method further includes launching an application accessing at least one of the supported services and receiving a request from the application to switch between the first and second network connections, according to the supported service, e.g. a policy associated with the service. Switching from the first network connection to the second network connections includes connecting to the PDN via an evolved Packet Data Gateway (ePDG).

Abstract: An exemplary apparatus includes a modulator configured to modulate a data signal onto a carrier signal to generate a modulated signal having a transmit frequency within a predefined frequency range adjacent to and within a boundary of an uplink frequency band, a filter configured to at least partially remove a carrier frequency component from the modulated signal to produce a filtered modulated signal, and an antenna configured to transmit the filtered modulated signal.

Abstract: An approach is provided for mitigating interference from Long Term Evolution (3GPP LTE) terminals to adjacent frequency bands. A platform determines whether a region associated with transmission of one or more resource blocks are an interfering region according to predetermined criteria, where one or more resource blocks are assigned a primary carrier as a default carrier for the transmission. The platform selects a secondary carrier for the one or more resource blocks instead of the primary carrier if the region is determined to be interfering.

Abstract: A method including receiving, by a multiband, multimode user device, a request pertaining to a data flow; determining a state of the multiband, multimode user device; selecting at least one of multiple channels or multiple frequency bands, and a single mode, or selecting at least one of multiple channels or multiple frequency bands, and multiple modes to satisfy the request based on the state of the multiband, multimode user device; and using the selected at least one of multiple channels or multiple frequency bands, and the single mode, or the selected at least one of multiple channels or multiple frequency bands, and the multiple modes to satisfy the request.

Abstract: A smart card determines if the smart card has been inserted into a device, and retrieves a device identifier and at least one application configuration value from the device if the smart card has been inserted into the device. The smart card compares the retrieved device identifier and the at least one application configuration value with a device identifier and at least one application configuration value previously stored in the smart card. The smart card causes the retrieved device identifier and the at least one application configuration value to be sent to an Over The Air (OTA) server if the comparison indicates that the retrieved device identifier or the at least one application configuration value is different than the previously stored device identifier or the at least one application configuration value, so that the OTA server can supply application parameter changes to the mobile device for future device operation.
