Abstract: A method and apparatus to activate over the air a wireless communication device by using a client-initiated bootstrap server and without the use of a provisioning server, a provisioning session and a provisioning protocol implementation at one or more servers of the wireless network. The client-initiated bootstrap server sends a bootstrap script and/or document to the wireless communication device to set an activation flag with commands included in the bootstrap scrip.

Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for Universal System Interface (USI) networking are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a USI request may be received by a station configured for heterogeneous wireless communication from an application service provider (ASP) over a first access network. The USI request may include a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of a USI system for services provided by a network service provider (NSP) over a second access network. The station may then determine the USI system address based on the FQDN Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides a method, comprising enabling firewall bypass for open mobile alliance device management (OMA DM) server-initiated notifications in wireless networks by requiring that a certain OMA DM packet is captured by a modem associated with a OMA DM client and routed via a predetermined driver interface, wherein the OMA DM server initiates connection with the OMA DM client by sending a UDP packet to the OMA DM client inside a wireless device, and wherein the OMA DM packet is transferred over RF channel into a the modem, and through the wireless device OS's IP stack delivered to an application of the OMA DM client.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods and system configurations to activate a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). A method includes wirelessly broadcasting a virtual Network Service Provider (NSP) to provide wireless activation of one or more Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) associated with a NSP, directing a mobile station (MS) connected to the virtual NSP to a subscription portal that presents to a user of the MS the one or more MVNOs for selection, and provisioning the MS with configuration parameters for a selected MVNO to allow connection of the MS with the selected MVNO. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides a method, comprising using actual values inside an Open Mobile Alliance Device Management (OMA DM) activation session to produce a unique combination of values for a mobile device operable in a wireless network to verify activation by a certain network service provider (NSP).

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides a method, comprising enabling firewall bypass for open mobile alliance device management (OMA DM) server-initiated notifications in WiMAX wireless networks by requiring that a certain OMA DM packet is captured by a WiMAX modem associated with a OMA DM client and routed via a predetermined driver interface.
