  • Patent number: 10292028
    Abstract: A method for enhanced machine type communication between a mobile communication network, on the one hand, and a group of machine type communication devices, on the other hand, wherein a plurality of subscribers are related to the mobile communication network. The method includes providing, by at least one network node of the mobile communication network, a Home Location Register functionality and/or a Home Subscriber Server functionality for the plurality of subscribers. A subscriber identifier is related to each of the plurality of subscribers of the mobile communication network such that the identifier content of the subscriber identifier is different for different subscribers related to the mobile communication network. The group of machine type communication devices is related to the same subscriber related to the mobile communication network.

  • Patent number: 10271271
    Abstract: A method for dynamically influencing the choice of a mobile network operator profile used by a user equipment connected to a telecommunications network includes: defining a plurality of trigger events and determining a switching probability for each trigger event, wherein the user equipment switches from the first mobile network operator profile to the second mobile network operator profile if the switching probability exceeds a predefined threshold. A switching related information is transmitted to the user equipment, the switching related information corresponding to information related to either a modification of the first mobile network operator profile, or to a modification of the second mobile network operator profile.

  • Patent number: 8571537
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for commissioning and personalizing a subscriber identification module SIM, wherein the SIM is set up with a non-individual and preliminary set (S*) of initial identifying and authenticating parameters prior to first commissioning, said set comprising at least one non-individual and preliminary subscriber identification (IMSI*) and a non-individual and preliminary secret key (K*), wherein the parameter set (S*) allows first commissioning of the SIM in a mobile telecommunications network by means of a mobile terminal device, wherein personalizing is performed after the first commissioning of the SIM, in that an individual and final subscriber data set (S) is transferred to and stored on the SIM, particularly comprising a unique final subscriber identification (IMSI) and a unique final secret key (K), particularly in that the final subscriber data set (S) is transferred by means of a regular connection of the mobile telecommunications system using the preliminary set (S*).
