20220232360 | INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND DEVICE - Embodiments of this application relate to the field of communications technologies, and provide an information processing method and a device, to resolve a problem that activity information of an application on a terminal device cannot be obtained when the terminal device runs out of power. The method includes: A first terminal device obtains activity information of an application on the first terminal device when a battery level of the first terminal device is less than or equal to a first threshold. The first terminal device determines a second terminal device, where the second terminal device is a terminal device selected from an available device, the available device is an online device that uses a same user account as the first terminal device, and a battery level of the available device is greater than or equal to a second threshold. The first terminal device pushes the activity information of the application on the first terminal device to the second terminal device. | 2022-07-21 |
20220232361 | Low-Latency Bluetooth Connectivity - This document describes low-latency Bluetooth connectivity in a wireless network in which a central node and a peripheral node establish a connection. During a first connection interval, the peripheral node receives a packet from the central node to synchronize communication with the central node, and based on receiving the packet, the peripheral node transmits a first fixed-length packet. If the first fixed-length packet fails to reach the central node, the peripheral node does not receive an acknowledgement, ACK, from the central node during the first connection interval and retransmits the first fixed-length packet during the first connection interval. | 2022-07-21 |
20220232362 | ASSOCIATING WIRELESS CONTROL DEVICES - A load control system may include one or more wireless control devices that may be associated via a programming device. An identifier for a first wireless control device may be determined in response to an actuation of a button on the first wireless control device. An association between the first wireless control device and a second wireless control device may be defined at the programming device. The identifier for the first wireless control device may be transmitted to the second wireless control device, which may cause the first wireless control device to enter a sleep mode. The first wireless control device may enter the sleep mode after an actuation of a button on the first wireless control device. The identifier may be determined in response to the actuation of the button on the first wireless control device and/or prior to the first wireless control device entering the sleep mode. | 2022-07-21 |
20220232363 | TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK FOLLOWING A DISASTER CONDITION - A method and an apparatus are provided for controlling access to a network supporting disaster roaming. The network receives a non-access stratum (NAS) message from a user equipment (UE). The network verifies at least one condition in response to the NAS message. Based on the at least one condition, the network accepts the NAS message and indicates that the UE is registered for emergency services. | 2022-07-21 |

20220232365 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENABLING EFFICIENT ESTABLISHMENT OF POLICY CONTROL ASSOCIATIONS - Methods, devices, and computer-readable mediums may provide receiving, at a request to establish an access and mobility (AM) policy control association in relation to an establishment of a data session requested by a user associated with a user equipment (UE) device; generating a query to a network device via a network interface, for AM policy control data and for at least one of UE policy control data or session management (SM) policy control data; receiving the AM policy control data and the at least one of the UE policy control data or the SM policy control data from the network device, creating the AM policy control association based on the received AM policy control data; and storing the at least one of the UE policy control data or the SM policy control data. | 2022-07-21 |
20220232366 | SUBSCRIBER IDENTITY PROFILE DESIGN AND GENERATION REQUEST FROM OUTSIDE OF A SECURE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK AND THE PROFILE PROVIDED TO A PARTNER WIRELESS DEVICE FOR USE THEREBY IN OBTAINING WIRELESS SERVICES VIA THE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK - eSIM software creates eSIMs within a WSP secure private network to share outside of the secure private network using information entered via a Partner user interface accessed using credentials that grant limited access to modify an eSIM profile template. Information entered by the Partner user is used to generate a requested quantity of eSIMs based on an eSIM profile template. The software provides generated eSIMs to components of the network that already exist for wirelessly distributing eSIMs to user equipment devices. Software interfaces facilitate access to a subset of information in modifying the templates, for generating eSIMs based thereon, and for storing generated eSIMs for distribution to user equipment. Transport of highly guarded security information, like master keys, outside of the secure private network does not occur. Real-time alerts notify that user-entered mismatched data precludes generation of eSIMs that will function in authenticating to the network. | 2022-07-21 |
