Methods and systems for sidelink operations for proximity based services in multi SIM multi standby user equipment

A multi Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) multi standby User Equipment (UE) configured to perform sidelink operations for Proximity based Services (ProSe), the UE including at least a first SIM and a second SIM and register for the ProSe, the multi SIM multi standby UE comprising:

• a sidelink management unit configured to,
• detect whether one or more sidelink operations are triggered on the first SIM;
• determine whether the one or more sidelink operations triggered on the first SIM are for a first activity or a second activity;
• reserve at least one Radio Frequency (RF) resource of the UE for the first SIM to continue the one or more sidelink operations triggered on the first SIM in response to the one or more triggered sidelink operations being for the first activity;
• and
• continuously perform the one or more sidelink operations triggered on the first SIM based on the reserved at least one RF resource,
• wherein the first activity includes a mission critical activity and the second activity includes non-mission critical activity.

A multi Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) multi standby User Equipment (UE) configured to perform sidelink operations for Proximity based Services (ProSe), the UE including at least a first SIM and a second SIM and registered for the Prose, the multi SIM multi standby UE comprising:

• a memory configured to store computer-readable instructions;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute the computer-readable instructions such that the at least one processor is configured to,
• detect whether one or more sidelink operations are triggered on the first SIM,
• determine whether the one or more sidelink operations triggered on the first SIM are for a first activity or for a second activity,
• reserve at least one Radio Frequency (RF) resource of the UE for the first SIM to continue the one or more sidelink operations triggered on the first SIM in response to the one or more triggered sidelink operations being for the first activity, and
• continuously perform the one or more sidelink operations triggered on the first SIM based on the reserved at least one RF resource,
• wherein the first activity includes a mission critical activity and the second activity includes non-mission critical activity.
