An indicator (e.g., '5G+' or “5G”) displayed on a mobile device is based on whether the mobile device is connected in or (if idle) has the potential of connecting in a high channel bandwidth frequency band (e.g., n77 or mmWave). An accurate indication is displayed when the mobile device is connected, or when idle and the aggregated bandwidth is not directly known, such as when anchored to a lower bandwidth cell. When in idle mode, the mobile device can maintain cell identifiers (“fingerprints”) and determine a location estimated to be within a high bandwidth cell, to thereby determine potential high bandwidth operation (e.g., and display 5G+) when connected. When in the idle mode, the mobile device can evaluate neighbor cells including if within a high channel bandwidth cell's coverage to decide whether to select “5G+” or “5G” for display to indicate the potential high bandwidth operation (or not) when connected.

Wireless technology indicator display

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 authenticating a mobile device; receiving a query from the mobile device for a bearer selection from a plurality of bearers; receiving network parameters associated with each bearer in the plurality of bearers; identifying a selected bearer in the plurality of bearers that should be used by the mobile device; and sending an instruction to the mobile device to use the selected bearer. Other embodiments are disclosed.

System and method for intelligent network selection

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving at an entitlement server an authentication request from a mobile device operating on a mobility network including a base station, identifying authorized network resources for the mobile device, and communicating to the mobile device a resource authorization message which causes the mobile device to update a device capabilities profile of the mobile device according to the authorized network resources for the mobile device, the resource authorization message further causing the mobile device to communicate an updated device capabilities profile to the base station for subsequent radio communication between the mobile device and the base station. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Method for device band selection

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting a first bootstrap profile on a first communication device, and detecting a second bootstrap profile on a second communication device. Further aspects can include determining the first bootstrap profile and the second bootstrap profile are a same bootstrap profile, and providing limited services to the second communication device according to the first communication device and the second communication device having the same bootstrap profile. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Methods, systems, and devices for providing subscription services to a communication device that shares an operational profile with another communication device

Technologies described herein are generally directed to facilitating the allocation, scheduling, and management of network slice resources. According some embodiments, a system can facilitate performance of operations. The operations can include facilitating receiving information regarding a characteristic of a potential connection, by a user device, to respective network devices of a group of provider networks. The operations can further include facilitating selecting an identifier resource from a group of identifier resources, the group comprising the identifier resources available to the user device for a connection to a corresponding network device of a provider network from the respective network devices of the group of provider networks, resulting in a selected identifier resource. Further, the operations can include communicating the selected identifier resource to the user device for use by the user device to establish the connection to the corresponding network device.

Selectively enabling identifier resources for connections in a fifth generation (5G) or other next generation wireless network

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving first data at a first rate via a first network connection and receiving second data at a second rate via a second network connection that is different from the first network connection based on the first rate being less than a threshold. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Apparatuses and methods for facilitating a utilization of network resources

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting an expiration of a subscription associated with a communication device, wherein the subscription is for services of a mobile network, and enabling an interim profile that provides the communication device with limited connectivity over the mobile network, wherein the limited connectivity facilitates communication with a subscription manager node of the mobile network. Various embodiments can include communicating with the subscription manager node to establish an active subscription for services of the mobile network and enabling an operational profile comprising subscription information associated with the active subscription. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Methods, systems, and devices for establishing an active subscription for services of a mobile network

Systems and methods may provide for deactivating the Idle mode discontinuous reception (iDRX) for services that require latency that is less than the conventional paging channel values.

Modifying idle mode DRX on wireless devices

An indicator (e.g., '5G+' or '5G') displayed on a mobile device is based on whether the mobile device is connected in or (if idle) has the potential of connecting in a high channel bandwidth frequency band (e.g., n77 or mmWave). An accurate indication is displayed when the mobile device is connected, or when idle and the aggregated bandwidth is not directly known, such as when anchored to a lower bandwidth cell. When in idle mode, the mobile device can maintain cell identifiers (&#x201c;fingerprints&#x201d;) and determine a location estimated to be within a high bandwidth cell, to thereby determine potential high bandwidth operation (e.g., and display 5G+) when connected. When in the idle mode, the mobile device can evaluate neighbor cells including if within a high channel bandwidth cell's coverage to decide whether to select &#x201c;5G+&#x201d; or &#x201c;5G&#x201d; for display to indicate the potential high bandwidth operation (or not) when connected.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying an assigned friendly-phrase embedded universal integrated circuit card identifier (fpEID) for a wireless communication device and sending a service request message to a service provider network to initiate a service activation procedure, the service request message comprising the assigned fpEID. Various embodiments can include sending an fpEID assignment request message to a device vendor network, receiving an fpEID assignment confirmation message from the device vendor network in response to the fpEID assignment request message, and identifying the assigned fpEID based on the fpEID assignment confirmation message. Other embodiments are disclosed.

User-friendly wireless service activation procedure using remote eSIM provisioning

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining an indication that a communication device can access a communication service via a first radio access technology, configuring, responsive to the obtaining of the indication, the communication service in accordance with the first radio access technology, resulting in a configured communication service, receiving a request for the communication service from the communication device, and providing the configured communication service to the communication device responsive to the receiving of the request. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Apparatuses and methods for predicting resource utilization in communication networks

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying a plurality of operational profiles that are to be shared by a plurality of devices; assigning a first operational profile of the plurality of operational profiles to a first device of the plurality of devices; assigning a second operational profile of the plurality of operational profiles to a second device of the plurality of devices; facilitating provision of the first operational profile on the first device; and facilitating provision of the second operational profile on the second device. Other embodiments are disclosed.
