  • Patent number: 12267911
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for public land mobile network (PLMN) selection for disaster roaming. A user equipment (UE) determines a disaster condition at a first PLMN, where the UE is a subscriber of the first PLMN. The UE determines an availability of a second PLMN for disaster roaming. The UE selects the second PLMN and attempts registration on the second PLMN for disaster roaming. In response to attempting the registration on the second PLMN for disaster roaming, the UE receives a registration reject message including a cause value corresponding to a registration failure for disaster roaming on the second PLMN due to the disaster condition on the first PLMN. The UE waits for a first period of time before again attempting to register for disaster roaming on the second PLMN for the first PLMN with the disaster condition.

  • Publication number: 20250081078
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a framework for user consent delivery and utilization in cellular communication systems. An access and mobility management function (AMF) of a network may obtain, from a user data management (UDM), user consent information via a user consent parameter included in a structured data type. The AMF may provide, to a base station of the network, the user consent information via a user consent information element. The user consent information element may be associated with at least one data type and the at least one data type may include radio link failure (RLF) information sharing consent and/or user location information sharing consent. The user consent information element may be included in any of an initial context setup request message, a user equipment (UE) context modification request message, and/or a handover request message.

  • Publication number: 20250039779
    Abstract: Techniques are described for slice based public land mobile network selection. An example method includes a network node of a home public land mobile network (HPLMN) transmitting configuration information to a user equipment (UE) to configure the UE to receive enhanced slice-based steering of roaming (SoR) information during a registration process with a visited public land mobile network (VPLMN). The method further includes the network node determining that the UE is registering with the VPLMN. The method further includes the network node transmitting the enhanced slice-based SoR information to the UE based on the determination that the UE is registering with the VPLMN.

  • Publication number: 20250016738
    Abstract: Techniques for multi-universal subscriber identity module (MUSIM) operation include generating, by a terminal equipment (TE) of a device, an attention (AT) command. The AT command indicates a value of a parameter related to MUSIM operation of the device, such as whether to release a Non-Access Stratum (NAS) connection associated with a particular USIM of the device, whether to reject or restrict paging associated with the particular USIM of the device, or a requested (or selected) IMSI offset associated with the particular USIM of the device. The AT command is communicated from the TE to a mobile terminal (MT) of the device through a terminal adapter (TA).

  • Publication number: 20240259085
    Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods that support discontinuous network coverage. In an example, a UE and a network exchange information indicating a capability for using a control plane, a user plane, a short message service, and/or an operation and maintenance server for the transfer of coverage data of a non-terrestrial network indicating when and/or where non terrestrial network coverage can be available to the UE. Based on this information, the coverage data is provisioned on the UE and in the access and mobility function (AMF) in the network. Thereafter, the UE can determine when the UE is in the coverage area of the non-terrestrial network and can connect to a network node thereof, such as a base station.
