Patent number: 11375363Abstract: A network terminal, e.g., a smartphone, can retrieve, from a datastore, a cryptographically-signed configuration record including a device identifier of the terminal. The terminal can transmit a request message comprising the configuration record and the device identifier. A network device can verify authenticity of the device identifier and a match between the identifier in the record and the identifier in the message. In response to confirmation of the request by a policy engine, the network device can determine a reply message comprising a cryptographically-signed second configuration record that includes a second device identifier. The terminal can verify that the signature is valid and that the second device identifier matches the device identifier. In response, the terminal can modify data in the datastore according to the second configuration record. The configuration record can lock or unlock the terminal, or determine permitted services or network peers.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2019Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Poornima Magadevan, Jeffrey Song, Mathew George, Senthil Kumar Mulluppadi Velusamy, Cristian Asandului, Thomas P.

Patent number: 11297118Abstract: A user device described herein suggests a change to a quality setting associated with the consumption of content from one or more content providers. The change is suggested based both on a user's data plan and on a service quality of content received by the user device. This user-selected quality setting is then provided to the telecommunication network, which reduces network resources available for transmission of the content based on the quality setting. Such reduced network resources cause the content providers to provide content at a service quality no greater than the quality setting. Also, the user may be presented with or defaulted to selecting an option for a program offering consumption of the video content free of charge when provided to the user at a limited service quality. When the user participates, consumption of video content is then conditionally excluded from a consumption metric of the data plan.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2020Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Lau, Warren J.

Patent number: 11228885Abstract: Techniques for provisioning electronic devices that may not have a local provisioning agent (LPA), such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices, to a mobile network of a mobile network operator (MNO), are discussed herein. The IoT devices and/or the associated embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) may have one or more device profile templates stored thereon, where individual ones of the device profile templates are associated with a particular MNO. A device provisioning system of an MNO may provision the IoT device in a machine-to-machine (M2M) manner over the air (OTA) by communicating, such as via a radio node, one or more configuration parameters to the IoT device. The IoT device may identify a device profile template associated with the MNO to which the IoT device is to be provisioned and configure that device profile template based at least in part on the configuration parameters received from the device provisioning system.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2019Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Tanmay Roy, Ryan King, Mathew George, Phani Ramisetty, Cristian Asandului, Kyeong Hun An

Patent number: 11019484Abstract: Systems and/or methods for distributing Internet-of-Things (IoT) can include a Service Capability Server (SCS) for facilitating an exchange of messages between an IoT device and an Application Server (AS). The SCS may store a priority value associated with the IoT device in a priority value database. The system may determine that a network condition has experienced a first change (e.g., an outage occurs), and may store incoming messages in a message database. Upon determining that the network has experienced a second change (e.g., the outage ends), the SCS may send the message to the IoT in a sequence of transmissions based, at least in part, on the priority value. In some instances, the priority value may be determined based on a registration process, the message, and/or one or more device parameter(s) of the IoT device.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2019Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Nandita Sharma, Cristian Asandului, Phani Ramisetty
