Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure may relate to a system and method for updating a status information of a first SIM [112A] and a second SIM [112B] of a user equipment [110] at a network entity [140]. In a preferred embodiment, the system [100] comprising: the network entity [140] configured to receive and/or initiate a first voice call from the first SIM [112A]; and the user equipment [110] configured to allocate a radio resource to the second SIM [112B] for transmitting the status information to the network entity [140]; allocate the radio resource to the first SIM [112A] for availing the first voice call; and re-allocate the radio resource to the second SIM [112B] for transmitting the status information (indicating availability of the second SIM [112B]) to the network entity [140] the user equipment [110] in an event the voice connection on the first SIM [102A] is disconnected.

Dependent claims

A method [600] for updating a status information of a first SIM [112A] and a second SIM [112B] of a user equipment [110] at a network entity [140], the method comprising:

one of receiving and initiating, by the network entity [140], a first voice call from the first SIM [112A], wherein
the first SIM [112A] and the second SIM [112B] have one of an active data session and a passive data session, and
the first SIM [112A] and the second SIM [112B] are in an ideal state;
suspending, by the user equipment [110], a data session of the second SIM [112B] in an event the second SIM [112B] is in the active data session;
allocating, by the user equipment [110], a radio resource to the second SIM [112B] for transmitting the status information to the network entity [140], wherein the status information indicates unavailability of the second SIM [112B] for receiving a second voice call;
allocating, by the user equipment [110], the radio resource to the first SIM [112A] for establishing a voice connection for availing the first voice call, wherein the first SIM [112A] is in an active state and the second SIM [112B] is in a passive state;
and
allocating, by the user equipment [110], the radio resource to the second SIM [112B] for transmitting the status information to the network entity [10], wherein
the radio resource is allocated to the second SIM [112B] in an event the voice connection on the first SIM [112A] is disconnected,
the status information indicates availability of the second SIM [112B] for receiving the second voice call, and
the first SIM [112A] and the second SIM [112B] are in the ideal state.
