Publication number: 20220078599Abstract: Systems and methods of providing steering of roaming (SOR) information in a 5G VPLMN are described. A UE receives a REGISTRATION ACCEPT message from an AMF of the VPLMN during initial or mobility registration of the UE in the VPLMN and DL NAS TRANSPORT message thereafter. The message has a Payload container information element (IE) set to secured packet. The SOR information indicates a list of preferred PLMN/access technology combinations, which is uploaded to a memory after a successful security check to verify that the list of preferred PLMN/access technology combinations is provided by the UDM of the HPLMN and is not tampered with by the VPLMN. When the message also contains a request for acknowledgment of successful security check of the list of preferred PLMN/access technology combinations, the UE transmits to the AMF the acknowledgment in a REGISTRATION COMPLETE or a DL NAS TRANSPORT message.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2021Publication date: March 10, 2022Inventors: Vivek G.

Publication number: 20200305032Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2018Publication date: September 24, 2020Inventors: Nitin KUPPELUR, Deepak DASH, Robert ZAUS, Shashanka Totadamane Ramappa, Vivek G.

Patent number: 10390189Abstract: User Equipment (UE) may skip the Access Class Barring (ACB) procedure for specific services, such as MMTEL voice, MMTEL video, and SMS. In one implementation, NAS layer of a UE may: receive, from an upper layer relative to the NAS layer, a request for a particular service type that is being originated by the UE; receive an indication, from a Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer of the UE, that access to a cell, associated with the UE, is barred; and bypass the indication that access to the cell is barred, when the particular service type matches a predetermined set of service types. The bypassing may include: requesting that the RRC layer establish an RRC connection for the service request, and notifying the RRC layer that the request for the RRC connection corresponds to the particular service type.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2017Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: Intel IP CorporationInventors: Ana Lucia Pinheiro, Marta Martinez Tarradell, Robert Zaus, Jerome Parron, Hyung-Nam Choi, Richard Burbidge, Vivek G.

Patent number: 10390239Abstract: Techniques for establishing and implementing application-based routing policies for multi-mode wireless communication devices are described. In some examples, information particular to the profile and platform configuration of the UE, including an identifier of an operating system, is communicated to an Access Network Discovery Function (ANDSF) server. The ANDSF server may provide an inter-system routing policy (ISRP) to handle appropriate network offloading actions for the particular application and device configuration. In some examples, the ISRP may be specific to flow-based or non-seamless based traffic offloading from certain software applications and include nodes to define routing rules based on an operating system identifier and operating system-specific application identifier. The policy may be propagated from the ANDSF server and implemented in multi-mode UE mobile computing devices in connection with offloading policies established in a 3GPP LTE/LTE-A Evolved Packet Core network architecture.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2016Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: Intel CorporationInventor: Vivek G.

Patent number: 10313449Abstract: Embodiments of system and method configurations for providing provisioning information to a mobile device via a wireless network access point are generally described herein. In some examples, a communication session is established between a mobile device and a service provider to obtain provisioning information for wireless network connectivity via a designated access point (e.g., a “hotspot”). A HTTP session is established within the communication session to exchange registration information via a browser of the mobile device. Provisioning information is returned within the communication session in a Subscription Management Object (MO) in response to successful completion of the HTTP session. The subscription MO is provided outside of the browser and the HTTP session (but within the communication session) using mechanisms such as OMA-DM or SOAP-XML communications. The mobile device can then utilize the provisioning information from the subscription MO to associate with an appropriate hotspot.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2016Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: Intel IP CorporationInventors: Necati Canpolat, Venkata Vallabhu, Vivek G.

Patent number: 10306580Abstract: Systems and methods of enabling intersystem changes between 4G and 5G are described. The UE in single registration mode handles default EPS bearer contexts and PDU session contexts as if the N26 interface were supported before making the determination whether N26 interface is supported or not during an initial EPS Attach procedure. After determining that the N26 interface is unsupported, the UE maps active PDU session contexts to default EPS bearer contexts and modifies the PDU session context state from active to inactive before completing the intersystem change. The UE either acts as if the N26 interface were supported and loses all the PDN connections or PDU sessions during the intersystem change, or enters a modified single registration mode in which the states of the EPC and 5G system are partially isolated from each other during the intersystem change.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2018Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: Intel IP CorporationInventor: Vivek G.

Patent number: 9992671Abstract: Embodiments of a mobile device and method for secure online sign-up and provisioning of credentials for Wi-Fi hotspots are generally described herein. In some embodiments, provisioning occurs using a service set identifier (SSID) to associate with a hotspot and retrieve a virtual LAN (VLAN) identifier. The VLAN identifier is used to complete the signup and provisioning process. In some embodiments, a hotspot may implement a primary SSID and a dependent SSID. The mobile device associates with the hotspot using the dependent SSID to perform the secure online signup and provisioning process. Once credentials are obtained using the signup and provisioning process, the device can connect to the hotspot using the primary SSID and the already provisioned credentials. The provisioned credentials may include certificates, username/password, or SIM-type credentials.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2017Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Vivek G.
