## Abstract

A Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) system can receive, from a mobile device, a request to establish a communicative connection, and in response to receiving the request, cause an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) of the device to be provisioned with a priority level of wireless service. The system can change the priority level of the eSIM based, at least in part, on assessment of the device's activity in accordance with one or more prioritization criteria, and cause establishment or adjustment of the communicative connection of the device in accordance with the priority level.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) device, comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing contents that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the CBRS device to perform actions comprising:
sending a request to establish a communicative connection;
receiving a response to the request, the response including provisioning information for an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) of the CBRS device to be provisioned with a priority level of wireless service;
causing change to the priority level of the eSIM based, at least in part, on assessment of the CBRS device's activity in accordance with one or more prioritization criteria; and
causing establishment or adjustment of the communicative connection of the CBRS device in accordance with the priority level.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The CBRS device of claim 1, wherein the request includes at least one of an identifier of the CBRS device, an identifier of the eSIM, or system information of the CBRS device.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The CBRS device of claim 1, wherein the request is sent in response to a CBRS node detecting the CBRS device within a wireless service coverage.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The CBRS device of claim 1, wherein the actions further comprise performing activities in accordance with the provisioning information to achieve another level of wireless service.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The CBRS device of claim 4, wherein the provisioning information includes at least a threshold criterion of wireless data usage, category of utility service providers to connect, or user status relative to a private wireless network, for achieving the other level of wireless service.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The CBRS device of claim 1, wherein the CBRS device includes a first mobile device that subscribes to a wireless service of a first mobile network operator.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The CBRS device of claim 6, wherein the provisioned priority level of wireless service corresponds to the wireless service of the first mobile network operator.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The CBRS device of claim 7, wherein causing change to the priority level of the eSIM comprises causing change to the priority level to enable a wireless service superior to the wireless service of the first mobile network operator.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The CBRS device of claim 8, wherein the enabled wireless service is superior to the wireless service of the first mobile network operator in at least one of data transmission, bandwidth, or data routing.

### Claim 10

A method for prioritizing wireless service associated with a private network, comprising:
sending, from a device, a request to establish a communicative connection;
receiving, at the device, a response to the request, the response including provisioning information for an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) of the device to be provisioned with a priority level of wireless service;
causing change to the priority level of the eSIM based, at least in part, on assessment of the device's activity in accordance with one or more prioritization criteria; and
causing establishment or adjustment of the communicative connection of the device in accordance with the priority level.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein the request includes at least one of an identifier of the device, an identifier of the eSIM, or system information of the device.

### Claim 12 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein the request is sent in response to a node of the private network detecting the device within a wireless service coverage.

### Claim 13 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein the method further comprises performing activities in accordance with the provisioning information to achieve another level of wireless service.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The method of claim 13, wherein the provisioning information includes at least a threshold criterion of wireless data usage, category of utility service providers to connect, or user status relative to the private wireless network, for achieving the other level of wireless service.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

The method of claim 13, wherein the other level of wireless service is superior to the provisioned priority level of wireless service in at least one of data transmission, bandwidth, or data routing.

### Claim 16

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing contents that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause actions to be performed, the actions comprising:
sending, from a device, a request to establish a communicative connection;
receiving, at the device, a response to the request, the response including provisioning information for an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) of the device to be provisioned with a priority level of wireless service;
causing change to the priority level of the eSIM based, at least in part, on assessment of the device's activity in accordance with one or more prioritization criteria; and
causing establishment or adjustment of the communicative connection of the device in accordance with the priority level.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16, wherein the request includes at least one of an identifier of the device, an identifier of the eSIM, or system information of the device.

### Claim 18 (depends on 16)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16, wherein the request is sent in response to a Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) node detecting the device within a wireless service coverage.

### Claim 19 (depends on 16)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16, wherein the method further comprises performing activities in accordance with the provisioning information to achieve another level of wireless service.

### Claim 20 (depends on 19)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19, wherein causing change to the priority level of the eSIM based comprises causing change to the priority level to enable the other level of wireless service.
