Abstract: The described embodiments set forth techniques for transferring cellular wireless service from a source wireless device to a target wireless device with multi-factor authentication and consent of a mobile network operator (MNO) account owner of a multi-user MNO account that includes one or more MNO account members. Terms and conditions for transfer of the cellular wireless service can be presented via a native operating system user interface of a wireless device of the MNO account owner. When the target wireless device belongs to an MNO account member, the MNO account owner wireless device facilitates transfer of the cellular wireless service by allowing the MNO account owner to review terms and conditions and provide one-time passcode authentication to the target wireless device. An original equipment manufacturer (OEM) cloud network service can be used for transfer of terms and conditions information and/or the one-time passcode.

Abstract: Systems, methods, processors, and circuitries are provided for activation of broadband network services via cellular network user equipment (UE). In some aspects, a UE includes a memory and a processor. The processor is coupled to the memory and configured to, when executing instructions stored in the memory, cause the UE to determine, via a cellular network, an entitlement of the UE to a service of a broadband network; generate a token for the service; create a blind token based on the token; transmit, via the cellular network to a server, the blind token for signing; receive, via the cellular network from the server, a blind signature for the blind token; unblind the blind signature to yield an unblinded signature; and store the unblinded signature and the token for subsequent access to the service.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for performing efficient discovery of edge computing servers. A wireless device may provide an edge compute request to an edge discovery service, which may indicate one or more criteria for the edge compute request. The edge discovery service may select one or more edge application servers for the edge compute request based on edge compute resource availability profile information that it stores for multiple edge application servers and the one or more criteria for the edge compute request. The edge discovery service may provide a response to the edge compute request to the wireless device, which may include an indication of the selected edge application server or servers.

Abstract: Some embodiments relate to methods and systems for initiating and transferring cellular subscription service using associated cellular communication devices. Cellular service may be initiated for a first cellular communication device via a second cellular communication device. The first cellular communication device may be provisioned to operate in an independent mode. In other scenarios, cellular service may be transferred from the first cellular communication device operating in independent mode to a third cellular communication device, which may be provisioned to operate in independent mode.

Abstract: A network component communicating with a user equipment (UE) and a server. The network component receives a first packet from the UE, wherein the first packet indicates to the network component that the network component is to perform operations on behalf of the UE to maintain a persistent connection, receives a second packet from the server and determines whether to transmit a signal to the UE based on the second packet received from the server. A UE having a transceiver and a processor. The UE transmits a first packet to the network component, wherein the first packet indicates to the network component that the network component is to perform operations on behalf of the UE to maintain a persistent connection, identifies an out of service (OOS) event, receives registration information from the network component and registers with the server based on the registration information received from the network component.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for high data mode operation in cellular networks. A UE may determine, for an interface to a high-speed cellular network, a categorization from a plurality of categorizations, determine availability of the high-speed cellular network, and select, based at least in part on the categorization and availability of the high-speed cellular network, the interface for a data connection to the high-speed cellular network. The categorization may be one of expensive or not expensive and/or one of a first level associated with a higher compression codec rate or a second level associated with a lower compression codec rate. The UE may receive, from one of the a low-speed cellular network or the high-speed cellular network, carrier plan information for a cellular data service carrier and analyze the carrier plan information to determine desirability of a switch, e.g., from the low-speed cellular network to the high-speed cellular network.

Abstract: Techniques for on-device enrollment of a secondary wireless device in an add-on cellular plan include receiving, at the secondary wireless device, cellular plan information for a cellular plan of a primary wireless device associated with the secondary wireless device. Based on the cellular plan information, the secondary wireless device displays an option to add the secondary wireless device to the cellular plan of the primary wireless device. A selection of the option to add the secondary wireless device to the cellular plan of the primary wireless device is received, and a request is transmitted to the primary wireless device for enrollment information for enrolling the secondary wireless device in an add-on plan of the cellular plan. The enrollment information, which includes a list of available add-on plans for the secondary wireless device or information associated with a provider of the cellular plan, is received at the secondary wireless device.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to transfer of credentials between two mobile wireless devices that are within proximity of each other, via a secure local connection, or via a network-based cloud service, where the two mobile wireless devices are not in proximity to each other. Transfer of credentials can include communication between a source device, a target device, and/or one more network-based servers, which can include mobile network operator (MNO) managed servers, such as an entitlement server, a web-sheet server, an authentication server, a provisioning server, a subscription management data preparation (SM-DP+) server, a home subscriber server (HSS), and/or an authentication server, as well as third-party managed servers, such as a cloud service server and/or an identification services server. Authentication can be based at least in part on one or more tokens and/or a trust flag obtained by the source device and provided to the target device.
