Abstract: Cellular connections can be used to provision non-cellular devices such as internet-of-things (IoT) devices. For example, IoT devices can comprise Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular capabilities. However, the cellular capability can be used to provision the IoT devices using non-internet protocol data delivery to prevent security vulnerabilities. Data can be transmitted to the IoT device using core elements without using an IP stack. Thus, IoT device configurations and the keys can be provisioned over-the-air without the use of internet protocol data.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, an AT command that allows an application service provider to modify suspend/resume (S/R) and/or deactivate/activate (D/A) functionality specified in one or more elementary files of a UICC. The S/R and/or D/A functionality can be influenced by the application service provider without relying on SIM-OTA messages being forwarded by a mobile operator. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods may provide for deactivating the Idle mode discontinuous reception (iDRX) for services that require latency that is less than the conventional paging channel values.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device in which a processing system detects installation of a subscriber identity module (SIM) on a communication device configured for connection to the network; the SIM includes a radio policy manager (RPM) provided by the network operator to manage network policies. The system also monitors connection of the communication device to the network and communications between the SIM and a processor of the communication device. The RPM determines whether the communication device is compliant with the network policies; if the communication device is not compliant with the network policies, the RPM causes the connection of the communication device to the network to be disabled. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A method, system, computer readable storage medium, or apparatus provides for or both the use of long extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) and long power saving mode (PSM) without having to wait for the activity timer expiration.

Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards discontinuous reception interval adjustment. User equipment that is designated to employ an adjusted discontinuous reception interval, which is different from an interval used for other user equipment, can be provisioned to employ higher and lower energy states according to the adjusted discontinuous reception interval. The user equipment can be furthermore provisioned to use a designated quality of service class identifier (QCI) in connection with radio access network (RAN) communications. The designated QCI notifies the RAN to adopt the adjusted discontinuous reception interval in connection with user equipment communications, so the RAN can synchronize inbound communications for the user equipment to occur within the user equipment's higher energy states.

Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards transferring coverage enhancement information from a terminal adapter to a terminal equipment. In one aspect, a terminal equipment can send a communication command to a terminal adapter requesting return of coverage enhancement information, and receive the coverage enhancement information from the terminal adapter. The terminal equipment provides access to the coverage enhancement information to a program running on the terminal equipment. In another aspect, a terminal adapter activates coverage enhancement information reporting, and sends coverage enhancement information to a terminal equipment. The terminal adapter monitors for a coverage enhancement state change.

Abstract: A pressure-balanced acoustic-signal-receiving apparatus and methods therefor. The apparatus may comprise a first housing, a first actuator, a second housing, and a second actuator. The first housing may comprise a fluid chamber, a passage connecting a first and second portion of the fluid chamber, a tubular-contact assembly, an isolating member within the fluid chamber and coupled to the assembly, an acoustic-signal receiver within the isolating member and coupled to the assembly, and a communication member coupled to the receiver. A method for receiving an acoustic signal generated within a wellbore may comprise receiving the acoustic signal with a tubular-contact assembly, sensing the acoustic signal with an acoustic-signal receiver positioned within a fluid chamber and coupled to the assembly, equilibrating fluid pressures in the first and second portions of the fluid chamber, and transmitting information generated by the acoustic-signal receiver through a communication member.

Abstract: In some example embodiments, a system and method are illustrated to consolidate leads received from multiple user devices used by a single user. The system and method may include identifying a first plurality of leads received from one or more user devices as being submitted by a same user via the one or more user devices. The first plurality of leads may be directed to a listing provided by a lister. The first plurality of leads may be added to a lead group. Then, a second plurality of leads received from one or more users including the same user may be forwarded to the lister. The forwarding may include notifying the lister of a first count of the second plurality of leads. The first count may include the lead group counted as one lead.
