Embodiment Construction

[0029] Embodiments will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings that illustrate certain embodiments. However, other embodiments are possible in many different forms within the scope of the present disclosure. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art. Throughout the specification, similar symbols refer to similar elements.

[0030] figure 1 A schematic block diagram of an embodiment of a communication network 1 according to the present disclosure is shown. The communication network 1 comprises a connectivity service platform 2, such as the Ericsson Device Connectivity Platform (EDCP or DCP), for a plurality of radio devices 5 with eUICC 6, such as M2M devices 5, with several different Mobile Network Operators (MNOs). ) provides the CN function for clients of the form. Each of the plurality of radios 5 may be...

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method implemented by a connection service platform (2) in a communication network (1). The method includes storing a backoff policy including information about a backoff timer. The method also includes sending a policy message to the radio device (5) comprising the eUICC (6), the policy message including information on the fallback policy. The method also includes determining that the radio device is experiencing a problem related to a wireless network connection from a first subscription of the radio device associated with a first network operator (7). The method also includes starting a backoff timer in accordance with the stored backoff policy in response to the determining. The method also includes backing off in accordance with the stored back-off policy in response to the initiated back-off timer having expired, thereby enabling the connectivity services platform to communicate with the network connection via the second subscription from the radio instead of the network connection from the first subscription. Radio equipment communication.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to methods and devices of a communication network for managing subscriptions for wireless connections of radio devices with embedded universal integrated circuit cards (eUICCs). Background technique [0002] Unlike conventional UICC customer identity module (SIM) cards for client devices, such as mobile phones, all eUICCs deployed in, for example, machine-to-machine (M2M) solutions and embedded into M2M devices cannot easily be manipulated by human intervention Access to manually change the SIM card during the life cycle of the device. According to the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) Association (GSMA) eUICC standard (GSMA "Remote Provisioning Architecture for Embedded UICC" DRAFT1.39 29th April 2013) and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) eUICC standard (enhanced "Expanding LTE for Devices" FP7Contract Number: 258512, February 29, 2012), all eUICCs should be delivered with a pre-ins...
