  • Patent number: 10555222
    Abstract: A radio device in a communication network comprises an embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card. The radio device stores a device fall-back policy based on a fall-back policy message received from a connectivity service platform that is separate from the radio device and in the communication network. The radio device receives, from the connectivity service platform, an event message indicating disablement, deactivation, or termination of a subscription of the radio device with a network operator. The event message is received from the connectivity service platform via a wireless network connection of the subscription. Responsive to determining that the radio device will lose the wireless network connection of the subscription due to the disablement, deactivation, or termination, the radio device obtains a different wireless network connection for the radio device using a different subscription by falling back in accordance with the stored fall-back policy.

  • Patent number: 10051463
    Abstract: A method performed by a subscriber data storage node of a visiting communication network for handling a signalling request in a communication system comprising a home communication network and the visiting communication network. The signalling request originates from a communication device subscribing to the home communication network and having a home subscriber identification, ID, for communication in the home communication network. The communication device is registered to the visiting communication network with a local subscriber ID different from the home subscriber ID, the local subscriber ID being associated with the home subscriber ID. The method comprises receiving the signalling request originating from the communication device, the signalling request being associated with the local subscriber ID and identifying that the local subscriber ID is associated with the home subscriber ID.

  • Patent number: 9742851
    Abstract: A method and arrangement for remotely controlling the communication of media between devices in different local networks (200, 202) using a remote control device (200b). The remote control device obtains discovery information on a first device (200c) and sends a remote access request over a multimedia service network to a home multimedia gateway (202b) in the opposite local network (202) for a connection to a second device (202c) therein. The home multimedia gateway then responds with communication parameters established for the second device in a residential gateway, and the remote control device can then order the first device to execute a multimedia session with the second device by using said communication parameters. This solution enables a remote control device visiting a local network to order a device in that network to fetch media content from a device in another home network, or vice versa.

  • Patent number: 9596593
    Abstract: A connectivity service platform in a communication network manages changes to subscriptions for radio devices. When the connectivity service platform receives a subscription change message, it sends instructions to a radio device to change from the currently enabled subscription to a second subscription for its network connection. The connectivity service platform tests the second subscription network connection using a pre-defined testing procedure. More particularly, the test is performed uses a network connection from the second subscription to send and receive test messages to verify that the second subscription network connection has passed the testing. The first subscription is then disabled and the second subscription is enabled.
