Abstract:
A method to configure a virtual integrated universal integrated circuit card (UICC) that is integrated in a narrowband Internet-of-Things (NB-IoT) host device of a telecommunications network. One or more network nodes can configure one or more authentication and encryption functions for the UICC based on a capability of the NB-IoT device and a condition of the 5G network. The network node(s) can detect a change in a condition of the network or the capability of the NB-IoT device and, in response, reconfigure the UICC for one or more second authentication and encryption functions.
