Resource sharing during communication pause

An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• memory coupled with the one or more processors;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to cause the apparatus to:
• establish a first wireless connection for a first subscriber identity module of a user equipment (UE) and a second wireless connection for a second subscriber identity module of the UE, the first wireless connection for the first subscriber identity module sharing a set of time-frequency resources with the second wireless connection for the second subscriber identity module;
• communicate during a communication session one or more first data packets on the first wireless connection for the first subscriber identity module using the set of time-frequency resources;
• receive, from a second UE, an indication to pause the communication session, wherein the first wireless connection is established with the second UE;
• determine to pause based at least in part on the indication, for a duration comprising at least a portion of an off duration of a discontinuous reception cycle associated with the UE, the communication session on the first wireless connection for the first subscriber identity module using the set of time-frequency resources;
• and
• communicate, for at least a portion of the duration, one or more second data packets on the second wireless connection for the second subscriber identity module using the set of time-frequency resources based at least in part on determining to pause the communication session on the first wireless connection for the first subscriber identity module.

An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:

• means for establishing a first wireless connection for a first subscriber identity module of a user equipment (UE) and a second wireless connection for a second subscriber identity module of the UE, the first wireless connection for the first subscriber identity module sharing a set of time-frequency resources with the second wireless connection for the second subscriber identity module;
• means for communicating during a communication session one or more first data packets on the first wireless connection for the first subscriber identity module using the set of time-frequency resources;
• means for receiving, from a second UE, an indication to pause the communication session, wherein the first wireless connection is established with the second UE;
• means for determining to pause based at least in part on the indication, for a duration comprising at least a portion of an off duration of a discontinuous reception cycle associated with the UE, the communication session on the first wireless connection for the first subscriber identity module using the set of time-frequency resources;
• and
• means for communicating, for at least a portion of the duration, one or more second data packets on the second wireless connection for the second subscriber identity module using the set of time-frequency resources based at least in part on determining to pause the communication session on the first wireless connection for the first subscriber identity module.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for wireless communications, the code comprising instructions executable by one or more processors to:

• establish a first wireless connection for a first subscriber identity module of a user equipment (UE) and a second wireless connection for a second subscriber identity module of the UE, the first wireless connection for the first subscriber identity module sharing a set of time-frequency resources with the second wireless connection for the second subscriber identity module;
• communicate during a communication session one or more first data packets on the first wireless connection for the first subscriber identity module using the set of time-frequency resources;
• receive, from a second UE, an indication to pause the communication session, wherein the first wireless connection is established with the second UE;
• determine to pause based at least in part on the indication, for a duration comprising at least a portion of an off duration of a discontinuous reception cycle associated with the UE, the communication session on the first wireless connection for the first subscriber identity module using the set of time-frequency resources;
• and
• communicate, for at least a portion of the duration, one or more second data packets on the second wireless connection for the second subscriber identity module using the set of time-frequency resources based at least in part on determining to pause the communication session on the first wireless connection for the first subscriber identity module.
