Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are described for provisioning of devices, such as UEs, for service at a wireless network. One or more device parameters may be identified for use in provisioning the device on the wireless network, which may be provided to a network element. The network element may use the provided parameters to access a subscription server. The subscription server may provide verification and/or subscription parameters of the device that may then be used by the device to verify that the device is authorized to access the wireless network.
Claims30
A method for provisioning a device for service at a wireless network, the method comprising:
- identifying a set of device parameters to be used by a server to provision the device for service on the wireless network;
- transmitting at least a subset of the set of device parameters to a network element;
- and
- receiving one or more of a verification parameter or subscription parameter generated by the server for the device to access the wireless network in response to the transmission of the device parameters.
An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
- a processor;
- memory coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
- identify a set of device parameters to be used by a server to provision the device for service on the wireless network;
- transmit at least a subset of the set of device parameters to a network element;
- and
- receive one or more of a verification parameter or subscription parameter generated by the server for the device to access the wireless network in response to the transmission of the device parameters.
A method for provisioning a device for service at a wireless network comprising:
- receiving a request to provision the device on the wireless network including a set of device parameters to be used by a server to provision the device for service on the wireless network;
- establishing a connection to the server associated with the device responsive to receiving the request;
- receiving a set of subscription parameters for the device;
- and
- transmitting one or more of the received subscription parameters to the device.
