Abstract
A seamless eSIM profile transition is provided at Subscription Management Data Preparation (SMDP+) server via Over-The-Air (OTA) server. A request to download a profile package to an embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) of a user equipment (UE) is received. The profile package is sent to the eUICC. A device capability of the eUICC is determined, e.g., whether the device is 4G capable or 5G capable. Based on the determined device capability of the eUICC; a request is sent to an OTA server to configure the eUICC according to the determined device capability.
Claims20
A method for provisioning a device profile, comprising:
- receiving, by a Subscription Management Data Preparation (SMDP+) server, a request to download a profile package to an embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) of a user equipment (UE);
- sending, by the SMDP+ server, the profile package to the eUICC;
- determining, by the SMDP+ server, a device capability of the eUICC;
- and
- based on the determined device capability of the eUICC, sending a request by the SMDP+ server to an Over-The-Air (OTA) server to configure the eUICC according to the determined device capability.
A Subscription Management Data Preparation (SMDP+) server for provisioning a profile, comprising:
- a memory storing computer-readable instructions;
- and
- a processor connected to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to:
- receive a request to download a profile package to an embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) of a user equipment (UE);
- send the profile package to the eUICC;
- determine a device capability of the eUICC;
- and
- based on the determined device capability of the eUICC, send a request to an Over-The-Air (OTA) server to configure the eUICC according to the determined device capability.
A non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a processor causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by a Subscription Management Data Preparation (SMDP+) server, a request to download a profile package to an embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) of a user equipment (UE);
- sending, by the SMDP+ server, the profile package to the eUICC;
- determining, by the SMDP+ server, a device capability of the eUICC;
- and
- based on the determined device capability of the eUICC, sending a request by the SMDP+ server to an Over-The-Air (OTA) server to configure the eUICC according to the determined device capability.
