Jurisdiction-based adaptive communication systems and methods

A wireless device for adaptive communication, comprising:

• a storage device to store a first memory structure to hold a plurality of identifiers of a corresponding plurality of jurisdictions in association with a plurality of location-based jurisdiction definitions, the storage device further to store a second memory structure to hold identifiers of one or more trusted location sources;
• location validation logic, communicatively coupled to the storage device, to validate or invalidate received location data nominally representative of a location at which communication hardware of the wireless device is located, wherein to validate the received location data comprises to verify that the received location data was provided by a location source that corresponds to at least one of the stored trusted location source identifiers;
• and
• jurisdiction identification logic, communicatively coupled to the storage device and to the location validation logic, to cause, in response to validation of the received location data, provision of a jurisdiction identifier, corresponding to a location-based jurisdiction definition that includes the received location data, to the communication hardware of the wireless device.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having instructions thereon that in response to execution of the instructions by one or more processing devices of a wireless device, cause the wireless device to:

• store a first memory structure to hold a plurality of identifiers of a corresponding plurality of jurisdictions, a plurality of sets of wireless communication operation constraints, and associations between individual ones of the plurality of jurisdiction identifiers and respective individual ones of the plurality of sets of wireless communication operation constraints, and store a second memory structure to hold identifiers of one or more trusted location providers;
• validate or invalidate a received jurisdiction identifier nominally representative of a jurisdiction in which communication hardware of the wireless device is located, wherein to validate the received jurisdiction identifier, the wireless device, in response to execution of the instructions, is to determine that the received jurisdiction identifier corresponds to one of the stored plurality of jurisdiction identifiers, and determine that the received jurisdiction identifier was provided by a location provider that corresponds to at least one of the stored trusted location provider identifiers;
• and
• apply, in response to validation of the received jurisdiction identifier, a stored set of wireless communication operation constraints corresponding to the received jurisdiction identifier.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having instructions thereon that, in response to execution of the instructions by one or more processing devices of a wireless device, cause the wireless device to:

• store a first memory structure to hold a plurality of identifiers of a corresponding plurality of jurisdictions in association with a plurality of location-based jurisdiction definitions;
• store a second memory structure to hold identifiers of one or more trusted location sources;
• validate or invalidate received location data nominally representative of a location at which communication hardware of the wireless device is located, wherein validate the received location data includes verify that the received location data was provided by a location source that corresponds to at least one of the stored trusted location source identifiers;
• and
• cause, in response to validation of the received location data, provision of a jurisdiction identifier, corresponding to a location-based jurisdiction definition that includes the received location data, to the communication hardware of the wireless device.
