Abstract:
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for high data mode operation in cellular networks. A UE may determine, for an interface to a high-speed cellular network, a categorization from a plurality of categorizations, determine availability of the high-speed cellular network, and select, based at least in part on the categorization and availability of the high-speed cellular network, the interface for a data connection to the high-speed cellular network. The categorization may be one of expensive or not expensive and/or one of a first level associated with a higher compression codec rate or a second level associated with a lower compression codec rate. The UE may receive, from one of the a low-speed cellular network or the high-speed cellular network, carrier plan information for a cellular data service carrier and analyze the carrier plan information to determine desirability of a switch, e.g., from the low-speed cellular network to the high-speed cellular network.
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 User Equipment (UE) device and associated method for operating a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The UE may store a preferred roaming list in a memory. The preferred roaming list may comprise a plurality of system records which specify radio access technologies that can be used by the UE. The UE may examine the preferred roaming list to delete any duplicate system records in the PRL for respective geographic locations (GEOs). This may operate to mitigate the problems created by duplicate listing of system records within the PRL. In particular, the removal of redundant system records within the PRL may reduce or eliminate unneeded or undesired BSR algorithm execution. In addition, the removal of redundant system records within the PRL may reduce temporal service outages, since no service origination is allowed while the UE is attempting to find the most preferred system.

Abstract:
Determining whether to operate in a single radio access technology (RAT) mode or a dual RAT mode for a user equipment (UE) having a radio capable of communicating using at least a first RAT and a second RAT. The UE may determine whether current path loss for the first RAT exceeds a maximum path loss. Based on the results of determining whether the current path loss for the first RAT exceeds the maximum path loss, the UE may determine whether to operate in the single RAT mode or the dual RAT mode. Accordingly, based on this determination, the UE may operate in the single RAT mode or the dual RAT mode based on the determination.
