UE-based network subscription management

A method of wireless communication performed by a device, comprising:

• establishing a connection with a user equipment (UE) over a local communication link;
• receiving credentials for accessing a wireless network from the UE over the local communication link, wherein the received credentials for accessing the wireless network are associated with a subscription of the UE, wherein the association with the subscription is based at least in part on an association between identification information of the device transmitted to the wireless network by the UE and a network credential of the UE, and wherein the received credentials are different from the network credential of the UE;
• and
• accessing the wireless network utilizing the received credentials.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for obtaining identification information for a device;
• means for establishing a connection with a wireless network based on a network credential of the apparatus;
• means for transmitting to the wireless network the identification information for the device;
• and
• means for registering the device for access to the wireless network under a subscription associated with the apparatus with a network credential for the device that is different from the network credential of the apparatus, the registering comprising associating the identification information for the device with the network credential of the apparatus.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• memory in electronic communication with the at least one processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and operable, when executed by the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus to:
• obtain identification information for a device;
• establish a connection with a wireless network based on a network credential of the apparatus;
• transmit to the wireless network the identification information for the device;
• and
• register the device for access to the wireless network under a subscription associated with the apparatus with a network credential for the device that is different from the network credential of the apparatus by associating the identification information for the device with the network credential of the apparatus.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for wireless communication, the code comprising instructions executable to:

• obtain identification information for a device;
• establish a connection with a wireless network based on a network credential of a user equipment (UE);
• transmit to the wireless network the identification information for the device;
• and
• register the device for access to the wireless network under a subscription associated with the UE with a network credential for the device that is different from the network credential of the UE by associating the identification information for the device with the network credential of the UE.
