Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device, including a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations of determining network capacity to provide an enhanced experience to user equipment running an application; determining whether the user equipment features can provide the enhanced experience, wherein the determination is based in part on capability, location and subscription status; and responsive to a determination of adequate network capacity and adequate user equipment features, offering the enhanced experience through the application. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Mobile device application for procuring network services

Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for seamless personal hotspot connectivity via personal hotspot tokens. According to one aspect disclosed herein, a personal hotspot-enabled device can include a processor and a memory. The memory can store instructions of an operating system and a personal hotspot application. The personal hotspot-enabled device can receive a personal hotspot token. The personal hotspot application can recognize, via a short-range communication component, a device identification associated with a peripheral device operating in proximity to the personal hotspot-enabled device. The personal hotspot application can request the personal hotspot token from the operating system. The personal hotspot application can inform the operating system of the device identification. The personal hotspot application can then receive the personal hotspot token associated with the device identification. The operating system can create a personal hotspot. The operating system can automatically authenticate the peripheral device to connect to the personal hotspot.

Seamless personal hotspot connectivity via personal hotspot tokens

In one example, a method includes detecting that a user equipment device has moved to a location in a telecommunications network in which a first network route is available, where the first network route has a higher priority than a second network route with which an application executing on the user equipment device has established a current protocol data unit session, determining that the application should switch the current protocol data unit session to the first network route, and supporting the application in switching the current protocol data unit session from the second network route to the first network route.

Supporting movement of 5G protocol data unit sessions to higher priority network routes

The disclosed technology is directed towards preventing a handover of a Wi-Fi call to a Fifth Generation (5G) standalone cellular network. In one alternative, a 5G standalone usage setting is disabled on a mobile device when Wi-Fi calling is enabled on the mobile device. In another alternative, a 5G standalone usage setting is disabled on a mobile device when Wi-Fi calling is enabled on the mobile device and the mobile device is connected to a Wi-Fi network, which facilitates camping on a 5G standalone network when the mobile device is not connected to a Wi-Fi network. In yet another alternative, a 5G standalone usage setting is disabled on a mobile device when an evolved packet data gateway (ePDG) tunnel is set up on the mobile device, which similarly facilitates camping on a 5G standalone network when the ePDG tunnel is torn down.

Managing mobile device voice over Wi-Fi handover

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a radio device that has first and second subscriber identity modules; radio resources; a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations of establishing a first communications network connection associated with the first subscriber identity module; establishing a second communications network connection associated with the second subscriber identity module; determining a communications activity on the first communications network connection; pausing or suspending activities of the second communications network connection; and blocking use of the radio resources by the second communications network connection. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Dual subscriber identity module radio device and service recovery method

A method and apparatus for authenticating a device on a wireless network using a secure attestation package is provided. The method includes receiving, by a processor, information related to a device of an Internet of Thing (IoT) service provider, generating, by the processor, a secure attestation package based on the information, transmitting, by the processor, the secure attestation package to the IoT service provider, receiving, by the processor, a request to access a wireless network of the processor from the device of the IoT service provider, and authorizing, by the processor, the device to access the wireless network based on the secure attestation package.

Secure attestation packages for devices on a wireless network

A mobile communication device may operate with a number of different applications, each having different file types associated therewith. A file analyzer receives data files and analyzes the files to identify a content type and thereafter associates the identified file with the appropriate application or applications. The received data files may be delivered through a wired connection, a wireless connection, or through the introduction of a memory device, such as a removable storage device, to the mobile communication device. The file analyzer may provide the appropriate notification or indication of association or association to the application associated with the identified content type and may further provide user notification of a newly delivered file. The files may be data files, such as text or multimedia files such as audio and/or video files. Files that are incompatible with the wireless communication device may be rejected by the file analyzer or left to the user to make a manual determination of content type and association with the appropriate application.
