  • Method and system for transition of applications to a second cellular data networking interface for a virtual SIM service
    Patent number: 10178237
    Abstract: A method at a user equipment to facilitate splitting of data billing between at least two parties, the method assigning a first subset of application to a first forwarding information base (“FIB”) on the user equipment; associating the first FIB with a first cellular data interface; activating the splitting of data billing on the user equipment; and replacing the association in the first FIB to the first cellular interface with an association between a second cellular data interface and the first FIB.
    Type: Grant

  • Managing multiple forwarding information bases
    Patent number: 9014174
    Abstract: In some implementations, a method for routing a communication includes receiving, from an application running on a user equipment (UE), a request to access a forwarding information base (FIB). The UE includes a plurality of FIBs and a plurality of communication interfaces. Each of the plurality of FIBs includes communication interface information. An assigned FIB from the plurality of FIBs is determined. The assigned FIB has been assigned to the application. An appropriate communication interface for communication is determined based on a destination of the communication and the communication interface information of the assigned FIB. The communication is transmitted to the destination using the communication interface.
