Extending Use of a Cellular Communication Capabilities in a Wireless Device to Another Device

摘要

Extending cellular telecommunication service from a first UE to another device. The first UE may register for cellular telecommunication service with a cellular network using a first cellular service account, using a cellular communication link via a cellular radio. A second device may be discovered and a communication link may be established between the first UE and the second device. The second device may be registered to use cellular telecommunication capability provided by the first UE. Communications between the second device and the cellular network may be conveyed via the communication link between the first UE and the second device and the cellular communication link. Conveying communications between the second device and the cellular network may provide use of the first cellular service account for cellular telecommunication service to the second device.

主权项

1. A method for a first wireless user equipment (UE) device comprising a cellular radio to provide cellular communication capability to a second UE device, the method comprising:
receiving first information from a second UE device over a non-cellular communication link between the first UE device and the second UE device; and forwarding the first information to a cellular network over a cellular communication link between the first UE device and the cellular network.
