Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for user equipment (UE) devices to perform more efficient frequency scans for potential base stations. According to techniques described herein, the UE may determine that it does not have cellular service and determine first information based on a last camped cell. A time period during which the first information was acquired may be determined and one or more frequency scans may be performed. The frequency scans may be limited to a set of frequencies based in part on the time period. Thus, if the time period is less than a first value, the set of frequencies may include a first set of frequencies and if the time period is greater than the first value but less than a second value, the set of frequencies may include the first set of frequencies and a second set of frequencies.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) to perform methods for enhancement of multi-SIM devices, such as UE 106. A network may increase paging retries for known MU-SIM devices, e.g., based on an indication of capabilities from a MU-SIM device. The indication may be via a NAS registration request, an RRC capability procedure, and/or an RRC UE assistance procedure. Additionally, a network may include an indication of a paging priority to the UE. The UE may then determine a response to the page based, at least in part, on the indicated priority. Further, the UE may indicate a tune-away to the network. The indication of the tune-away may include a cause and/or duration for the tune-away and may be provided at an RRC level or a network access stratum (NAS) level.

Abstract: Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) and/or cellular network to avoid invalidation of a subscriber identity module (SIM). A UE may initiate a connection with the network. The network may reject the connection attempt. The UE may selectively determine whether to invalidate the SIM, network, or both. The UE may consider various factors such as details of the connection rejection message, identity of the network, its relationship to the network (e.g., whether the network is a preferred network, etc.), a number of connection rejections received, time remaining on one or more timers, availability of other networks, etc.

Abstract: An accessory device may dynamically determine to transition a cellular connection between mobile-initiated communication only (MICO) mode and non-MICO mode based on a variety of factors. The accessory device may be configured to communicate through a non-cellular network in addition to the cellular network. The accessory device may transition from MICO to non-MICO mode based on one or more of: loss of the non-cellular connection; location of the accessory device; a call, data, or SMS request failure over the non-cellular network; or other factors.

Abstract: Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) to determine whether or not a mobile alert message is in effect. Such a determination may be based on a cancellation message (or other message(s) received from the network, possibly in response to a query from the UE. Alternatively or additionally, such a determination may be based on monitoring rebroadcasts of the alert and/or determining that no rebroadcast has been received for a period of time.

Abstract: Methods and devices for a user equipment (UE) device to utilize an electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) to provide backup cellular connectivity for essential services and security enhancements. A UE device receives user input to alter an operational state of the UE. The user input may include removing a physical subscriber identity module (SIM) card installed in the UE or attempting to power off the UE. In response to receiving the user input, an authorization process is initiated. In response to determining that the authorization process has failed, a security enhancement is implemented for the UE.

Abstract: A method, device, computer readable storage medium and integrated circuit for providing user equipment (UE) capability information to a network. The method includes receiving a request from a network for radio access capabilities of the UE, determining a first plurality of band combinations that the UE is capable of utilizing for communications with the network, determining a number of band combinations that are to be included with a message generated in response to the request, ordering the plurality of band combinations into a prioritized order of band combinations based on at least one priority factor, generating the message that includes the radio access capabilities, wherein the message includes a second plurality of band combinations that are based on the prioritized order and the number of band combinations that are to be included with a message and transmitting the message to the network.
