Abstract: According to one configuration, a communication management resource such as a SIM provisioning platform receives input from a mobile communication device to activate use of the mobile communication device in a private wireless network. The communication management resource authenticates use of the mobile communication device in the private wireless network. Subsequent to authentication, the communication management resource populates an access file such as private SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) information for use by the mobile communication device to access the private wireless network. The access file is populated with information such as a unique cell identifier value, encryption information, identification of supported services, etc. The communication management resource communicates the newly generated access file (such as SIM information) to the mobile communication device, enabling the mobile communication device use of the private wireless network.

Abstract: A wireless system as discussed herein includes a communication management resource configured to control flows of data through a first wireless access point to a remote network. To control the flows of data, the communication management resource receives a schedule indicating a pattern of multiple mobile communication devices associated with a subscriber domain. The schedule may indicate a respective pattern associated with the multiple mobile communication devices. For example, the respective pattern may indicate times when the multiple mobile communication devices are present in the subscriber domain and/or times when the communication devices communicate through the first wireless access point to one or more destination in a remote network. The communication management resource utilizes the schedule to control priority of conveying communications from the multiple mobile communication devices through the first wireless access point to the remote network.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for using an artificial intelligence engine to automatically predict what network slices will be needed are described. After the network slice prediction is made network slices are automatically generated in accordance with AI machine learned prediction.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for managing frequency reassignment within wireless access nodes so as to minimize data session disruption. In one embodiment, the frequency reassignments occur within a quasi-licensed system utilizing 3.5 GHz CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) spectrum, and a reassignment of wireless spectrum that mitigates disruption or loss of continuity to existing data sessions of users of devices associated with a CBSD/xNB is provided via notification of the associated devices (e.g., Category B Consumer Premises Equipment or CPE, such as an FWA) of the reassignment by the CBSD/xNB. In one variant, the associated devices are instructed by the CBSD/xNB to invoke a “wait and re-establish” protocol that obviates a full frequency band rescan in favor of a designated target frequency provided to the CBSD/xNB by the cognizant SAS or DP.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for controlling device use of available networks, e.g., cellular and WiFi, are described. End devices report key performance indicator and resource utilization information, e.g., on a per application basis, to a configuration server. The configuration server determines, based on the received information, e.g., using machine learning and/or artificial intelligence, sets of configuration profiles, each configuration profile including one or more set of applications for which an end device should use a particular network. An exemplary configuration profile may identify a first set of applications for which a first network is to be used, e.g., a cellular network such as a P-LTE network, and a second set of applications for which a second network, e.g. a WiFi network, is to be used. The configuration server selects a configuration profile that is best suited for a particular end device and communicates that selected profile to the end device.

Abstract: A wireless device (e.g., a cell phone) having a first SIM card for a first (e.g., private) wireless network and a second SIM card for a second (e.g., public) wireless network. The wireless device disables searching for the first wireless network if its current location is outside of a defined coverage region for the first wireless network, thereby saving battery power.
