  • Publication number: 20250112980
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for protection of a user equipment (UE) parameter update (UPU) header protection. An example method can include generating, for transmission to an access and mobility management function (AMF) of a network, a first message that includes an indication as to whether a UE supports protection of a UPU header. The method can further include processing, a second message from the network from the network, the second message including UE configuration parameters comprising a UPU transparent container including a UPU header and UPU data, the UPU header protected based at least in part on the indication.

  • 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: 20240267711
    Abstract: This Application sets forth techniques for routing emergency (SMS) messages under limited-service scenarios. One technique can be implemented by a network entity associated with a mobile network operator (MNO), and include the steps of (1) receiving an SMS message from a wireless device, and (2) in response to determining that (i) the wireless device is communicatively coupled to the MNO under a limited-service connection due to being unaffiliated with the MNO, and (ii) a destination address of the SMS message corresponds to an emergency service: (a) identifying at least one emergency service provider that corresponds to the MNO, and (b) providing at least a portion of the SMS message to the emergency service provider.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20240073772
    Abstract: A service device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), a new radio NB (gNB), mobility management entity (MME), or other network component or network management component) as a service provider or a service consumer can process or generate a downlink (DL) generic non-access stratum (NAS) transport (DL GENERIC NAS TRANSPORT) message that includes a UE policy container with UE route selection policy (URSP) rules associated with a 5G network in response to providing UE capability information for provisioning URSP rules in EPS. Parameters from the URSP rules associated with a 5G network can be derived to establish a packet data network (PDN) connection in an evolved packet system (EPS) of a 4G network.

  • Patent number: 11877193
    Abstract: Systems and methods of enabling access for non-emergency voice calls are described. A UE operates in a network supporting voice services via a multitude of RATs. The UE attempts to access the network via a first RAT offering voice services and data services. If the UE does not receive a response from the network within a first time period, the UE re-attempts the access to the network via the first RAT. If the number of access attempts for which the UE does not receive a response is at least a threshold value, the UE refrains during a second time period from further access attempts via the first RAT for the purpose of receiving data services, and continues to attempt access via the first or second RAT for the purpose of receiving voice services.

  • Publication number: 20230362624
    Abstract: The present application relates to user equipment (UE) aggregation. For instance, a UE aggregation group is defined based on a subscription of multiple UEs with a network. Configuration information identifying the UE aggregation group, its member UEs, the role of each UE (e.g., whether a group leader or, otherwise, a group member), and/or radio access capability signaling (RACS) is stored. Upon a registration of a UE, the UE aggregation group is indicated to the network. The network then enables an aggregated communication capability to the UEs of the UE aggregation group based on the configuration information.
