Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed. In an example from the perspective of a User Equipment (UE), the UE provides information related to multiple Universal Subscriber Identity Modules (USIM) of the UE to a first network.
Claims16
A method of a User Equipment (UE) supporting multiple Universal Subscriber Identity Modules (USIM), the method comprising:
- when a first USIM and a second USIM are concurrently active in the UE, indicating, to a first network, that the UE prefers or requests a multi-USIM solution from the first network;
- and
- responsive to a number of active USIMs in the UE changing upon the second USIM in the UE being removed from the UE and the first USIM being the only USIM active in the UE, indicating, to the first network in a registration procedure to the first network, that the UE does not prefer or request the multi-USIM solution after indicating to the first network that the UE prefers or requests the multi-USIM solution.
A communication device supporting multiple Universal Subscriber Identity Modules (USIM), comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory comprising processor-executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- when a first USIM and a second USIM are concurrently active in the communication device, indicating, to a first network, that the communication device prefers or requests a multi-USIM solution from the first network;
- and
- responsive to a number of active USIMs in the communication device changing upon the second USIM in the communication device being removed from the communication device and the first USIM being the only USIM active in the communication device, indicating, to the first network in a registration procedure to the first network, that the communication device does not prefer or request the multi-USIM solution after indicating to the first network that the communication device prefers or requests the multi-USIM solution.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising processor-executable instructions that when executed cause performance of operations, comprising:
- when a first Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) and a second USIM are concurrently active in a device, indicating, to a first network, that the device prefers or requests a multi-USIM solution from the first network;
- and
- responsive to a number of active USIMs in the device changing upon the second USIM in the device being removed from the device and the first USIM being the only USIM active in the device, indicating, to the first network in a registration procedure to the first network, that the device does not prefer or request the multi-USIM solution after indicating to the first network that the device prefers or requests the multi-USIM solution.
A method of a User Equipment (UE) supporting multiple Universal Subscriber Identity Modules (USIM), the method comprising:
- when a first USIM and a second USIM are concurrently active in the UE, indicating, to a first network in a registration procedure to the first network, that the UE prefers or requests a multi-USIM solution from the first network, wherein the multi-USIM solution includes a mechanism allowing for release of an ongoing connection associated with the first USIM;
- and
- responsive to a number of active USIMs in the UE changing upon the second USIM in the UE changing from being active to being not active and the first USIM being the only USIM active in the UE, indicating, to the first network in a second registration procedure to the first network, that the UE does not prefer or request the multi-USIM solution after indicating to the first network that the UE prefers or requests the multi-USIM solution.
