20110201285 | METHODS AND APPARATUS PROVIDING INTELLIGENT RADIO SELECTION FOR LEGACY AND NON-LEGACY APPLICATIONS - Methods and apparatus providing intelligent interface selection for legacy and non-legacy applications. The method includes intercepting a networking function call from an application desiring radio access, selecting a radio from a plurality of candidate radios based on selection criteria, and binding the radio to the application. To facilitate flow mobility, the method includes allocating an ephemeral port to the radio, generating a flow binding rule based only on the ephemeral port, and signaling the flow binding rule to a home agent. | 08-18-2011 |
20120250586 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING DATA CONNECTIVITY - Methods and apparatus for data connectivity management may include detecting data associated with an application-specific connectivity account. The methods and apparatus may further include sending the detected data to a remote gateway configured to cause transmission of the data to be attributed to the application-specific connectivity account in response to detecting the data. | 10-04-2012 |
20120295618 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING PROVISIONING OF A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE - Methods and apparatus for controlling provisioning of a wireless communication device in a cellular network may include maintaining, at a network component, a provisioning status database comprising status information corresponding to provisioning in a home location register of one or more wireless communication devices for one or more cellular networks. In addition, the methods and apparatus may include initiating provisioning or de-provisioning of a wireless communication device for a cellular network in the home location register in response to a triggering event. | 11-22-2012 |
20120317261 | APPARATUS AND METHODS OF IDENTITY MANAGEMENT IN A MULTI-NETWORK SYSTEM - Apparatus and methods of communication include receiving, at a device, a device-specific identifier and a credential associated with an issuing identity provider, wherein an identity of the device is capable of authentication by the identity provider based on the device-specific identifier and the credential. Further, the aspects include storing the device-specific identifier and the credential in a secure environment on the device. Additionally, the device-specific identifier is capable of being associated with different subscriber service accounts each with a different one of a plurality of service providers. The described aspects also include apparatus and methods of an identity provider and a provisioning provider for managing identities in a multiple network environment, and apparatus and methods of a service provider for providing the device with access to a service. | 12-13-2012 |
20140036901 | MOBILE IP HOME AGENT DISCOVERY - Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate Mobile IP home agent (HA) discovery in a wireless communication system. Discovery of a HA for Mobile IP can be conducted as described herein for a mobile terminal located on a network wherein movement of the terminal is managed by a network-based mobility protocol. For example, various aspects described herein can be utilized for discovery of a HA located in a 3GPP network from 3GPP and/or non-3GPP access. Further, various aspects described herein can be utilized to discover a gateway acting as mobility anchor for a network mobility protocol utilized by the network. As additionally described herein, HA discovery can be conducted in connection with DNS query formation and communication, network attach and/or re-attach procedures, Neighbor Discovery signaling, and/or other procedures. | 02-06-2014 |
20140051422 | METHODS, SYSTEMS AND DEVICES FOR DYNAMIC HPLMN CONFIGURATION - Methods, devices and systems enable the dynamic updating of home public land mobile network (HPLMN) information stored on a subscriber identification module (SIM) to avoid a roaming indication, without requiring any modifications to the mobile device modem, SIM application programming interface (API), the modem software, or the mobile device operating system. A mobile device may scan available public land mobile networks (PLMNs) to identify a participating PLMN to which the mobile device may connect, and receive network values having a mobile country code (MCC) value and a mobile network code (MNC) value from the identified PLMN. The mobile device may overwrite an existing HPLMN value and/or one or more IMSI values on the SIM with the receive network values. | 02-20-2014 |
20140310402 | APPLICATION TRAFFIC PAIRING - Systems, devices, and methods for reporting information in real time about traffic generated by each application for a device are described. In one aspect, the network can configure a list of applications user equipment (UE) devices need to report traffic information for and then when one of these applications starts a communication, the UE may send traffic descriptor(s) describing the traffic generated by the application. In this way the network can accurately identify the traffic and take actions based on UE report and local policy or subscription. | 10-16-2014 |
20140334297 | PARALLEL REGISTRATION TO OFFLOAD PLMN WITH SINGLE SIM - A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus establishes a first cellular communication link with a first cellular network based on a subscriber identifier, establishes a second cellular communication link with a second cellular network based on the subscriber identifier, and maintains the first cellular communication link concurrently with the second cellular communication link. | 11-13-2014 |
