Abstract
There is provided reduced power consumption in devices that use at least two identities for communications. A method comprises aligning (1302) a plurality of paging occasions across at least two identities of a communication device. The aligning is performed via requesting and receiving (1306) from a communication network a paging occasion for the communication device with at least two identities using at least one of the identities.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- aligning, by a communication device, a plurality of paging occasions across at least two identities of the communication device, wherein the at least two identities are subscription identities, wherein the aligning is performed via at least one of the following:
- requesting and receiving, by the communication device, from a communication network a paging occasion for the communication device with at least two identities using at least one of the identities, the method further comprising in response to receiving an indication of unavailability of the paging occasion from the communication network, requesting and receiving the paging occasion using a different one of the at least two identities;
- or
- requesting and receiving, by the communication device, from the communication network a reallocation of a paging offset using at least one of the identities;
- determining, by the communication device, a target level of alignment of the paging occasions;
- and
- if a current level of alignment fails to meet the target level of alignment, requesting a new paging occasion for the communication device.

An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code;
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- align, by a communication device, a plurality of paging occasions across at least two identities of the communication device, wherein the at least two identities are subscription identities, wherein the aligning is performed via at least one of the following;
- request and receive, by the communication device, from a communication network a paging occasion for the communication device with at least two identities using at least one of the identities, and further in response to receiving an indication of unavailability of the paging occasion from the communication network, requesting and receiving the paging occasion using a different one of the at least two identities;
- or
- request and receive, by the communication device, from the communication network a reallocation of a paging offset using at least one of the identities;
- determine, by the communication device, a target level of alignment of the paging occasions;
- and
- if a current level of alignment fails to meet the target level of alignment, request a new paging occasion for the communication device.

- or
- request and receive, by the communication device, from the communication network a reallocation of a paging offset using at least one of the identities;
- prioritize at least one alignment of the paging occasions over one or more further alignments of paging occasions;
- and
- request a paging occasion in accordance with the prioritized alignment from the communication network using at least one of the identities.
