US Patent 11418958 Subscriber identity module (SIM) remote update agent

A subscriber identity module (SIM). The SIM comprises a processor, a non-transitory memory storing a configuration file, a wireless identity, a wireless access key, and a remote update agent stored in the non-transitory memory. When executed by the processor, the remote update agent determines that the SIM is communicatively coupled to a wireless communication network via a radio transceiver of a communication device with which the SIM is associated, in response to determining that the SIM is communicatively coupled to the wireless communication network, sends a provide local information (PLI) command to the mobile communication device to acquire network measurement results (NMR) based on the configuration file, transmits NMR data via the radio transceiver using a bearer independent protocol (BIP), receives SIM update information via the radio transceiver, and stores the SIM update information in the configuration file in the non-transitory memory.
