20120275321 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ARBITRATION OF UPDATES PROVIDED TO A UNIVERSAL INTEGRATED CIRCUIT CARD - Systems and methodologies are described that determine whether to communicate an update message to a UICC. A UE may be equipped a status update message from at least one of a first radio access technology (RAT) module supporting a first RAT and a second RAT module supporting a second RAT. The first RAT and the second RAT are different. Further, the UE may be equipped to determine whether to generate a universal integrated circuit card (UICC) update message to update a UICC by applying one or more RAT arbitration factors to the received status update message. The UICC includes current UICC status information associated with a current RAT. A status update message may include, a service status, RAT information, and location information, and the UE may apply the RAT arbitration factors to at least a portion of the status update message. | 11-01-2012 |
20130237197 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SUBSCRIPTION MANAGEMENT IN DUAL SIM SINGLE STANDBY DEVICES - Methods and apparatus for subscription management in dual SIM devices may include using a first subscription associated with a first SIM card of a wireless device to communicate with a network. The methods and apparatus may further include detecting a presence of a second SIM card in the wireless device and automatically initializing a second subscription associated with the second SIM card in response to the detection. The methods and apparatus may also include attempting to connect to the network using the second subscription. | 09-12-2013 |
20130336374 | SYSTEM SELECTION AND DETERMINATION THROUGH A SMART STORAGE DEVICE - A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in which system selection and system determination algorithms maintained in a smart storage device are used by a modem of a mobile wireless terminal. The smart storage device may provide configuration data and algorithms to be used by the modem and functions ordinarily performed by the modem may be performed by a processor of the smart storage device. The functions may include system determination, system configuration and system selection functions. The smart storage device may receive network information from the modem for use in performing the functions. The smart storage device permits preferences and policies set by a home network operator to override preferences and policies set by an operator of a network to which the wireless terminal is currently connected. | 12-19-2013 |
20140003248 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BEARER INDEPENDENT PROTOCOL GATEWAY OPTIMIZATION | 01-02-2014 |
20140057679 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR OPTIMIZATION OF SIM CARD INITIALIZATION - Methods and apparatus for initializing a SIM card may include sending a request to read a file from the SIM card. In addition, the methods and apparatus may include receiving a SIM version identifier for the file from the SIM card and determining whether the SIM version identifier matches a cached version identified in a cache. When the SIM version identifier matches the cached version identifier, the methods and apparatus may include accessing the file from the cache. | 02-27-2014 |
20140066120 | APPARATUS AND METHOD WITH ROUTING LOGIC FOR COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN MULTIPLE BASEBAND MODEMS AND A UNIVERSAL INTEGRATED CIRCUIT CARD - Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a user equipment having a universal integrated circuit card (UICC), multiple baseband modems, and routing logic for handling communications between the UICC and the baseband modems, and methods for operating the user equipment in which the routing logic arbitrates communication between the UICC and the baseband modems in accordance with arbitration logic. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described. | 03-06-2014 |
20140141760 | SYSTEMS, APPARATUS, AND METHODS FOR MANAGING INFORMATION IN A SMART STORAGE DEVICE - This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for refreshing information stored on a smart storage device. In one aspect a smart storage device is provided that is configured to be coupled to a wireless communications apparatus operating in a wireless communications network. The smart storage device includes a memory configured to store network access information for accessing services of the network. The smart storage device further includes a controller configured to send a message to the wireless communications apparatus including data notifying the wireless communications apparatus of an update to the network access information. The data further includes a command that the wireless communications apparatus suspend an active operation of the wireless communications apparatus and initiate updating information managed by the wireless communications apparatus based on one or more conditions. The updating of the information is based on at least a portion of the updated network access information. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described. | 05-22-2014 |
20140289500 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING AN INTERFACE BETWEEN A UICC AND A PROCESSOR IN AN ACCESS TERMINAL THAT SUPPORTS ASYNCHRONOUS COMMAND PROCESSING BY THE UICC - Techniques for providing an interface between a UICC and a processor, included in an access terminal, that supports asynchronous command processing by the UICC, are described. A first complex command, with a first processing time, may be received from the processor. An initial response to the first command, including a token, may be sent to the processor. The first command may be processed for the first processing time. At least one additional command, having a processing time shorter than the first processing time, may be received from the processor. Processing of the first command may be completed. Processing of a current one of the at least one additional command, which was being processed before, during, or after completion of the processing of the first command, may be completed. A response to the current one of the at least one additional command, including the token, may be sent to the processor. | 09-25-2014 |
20150072736 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR NEGOTIATING PROACTIVE POLLING INTERVAL - Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a polling interval negotiation scheme between a universal integrated circuit card (UICC) and a wireless terminal. A wireless terminal and a UICC are communicating at a first polling interval. The wireless terminal may send a proposed polling interval to the UICC. The wireless terminal determines a response of the UICC to the proposed polling interval, and communicates with the UICC at a second polling interval based on the response of the UICC. | 03-12-2015 |
