## Abstract

A wireless communication device is described. The wireless communication device includes a processor configured to determine a switch between an independent mode and a concurrency mode. The wireless communication device also includes a transmitter configured to send a communication capability signal to a base station in response to the switch. The communication capability signal indicates a resource communication capability adjustment for a first service.

## Claims

one or more processors individually or collectively configured to execute instructions stored on one or more memories and to cause the wireless communication device to:
determine a switch between an independent mode and a concurrency mode; and
send a communication capability signal and a detach signal to a base station in response to the switch, wherein:
the communication capability signal indicates a resource communication capability adjustment for a first service corresponding to a first subscriber identity module (SIM),
the communication capability signal is an attachment capability signal that indicates a second resource capability that is different from a first resource capability used before sending the detach signal; and
the one or more processors are further configured to cause the wireless communication device to determine the switch in response to insertion or activation of a second SIM in the wireless communication device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The wireless communication device of claim 1, wherein the switch is from the independent mode to the concurrency mode.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The wireless communication device of claim 2, wherein:
the communication capability signal is a channel quality indicator (CQI) corresponding to the first service, and
the CQI indicates that a carrier allocated to the first service is inoperable.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The wireless communication device of claim 3, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to cause the wireless communication device to:
drop the carrier for the first service; and
adjust a setting to communicate with a second service on the carrier.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The wireless communication device of claim 2, wherein:
the communication capability signal is a rank indicator (RI) corresponding to the first service, and
the RI indicates that a layer allocated to the first service is inoperable.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The wireless communication device of claim 5, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to cause the wireless communication device to adjust a setting to communicate with a second service using a stream or layer released based on the RI.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The wireless communication device of claim 1, wherein the switch is from the concurrency mode to the independent mode.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The wireless communication device of claim 1, wherein the switch is between:
single subscriber identity module (SIM) and single SIM concurrent with cellular vehicle to everything (C-V2X),
fifth-generation wireless (5G) and 5G concurrent with fourth-generation wireless (4G) dual SIM dual active (DSDA),
5G and 5G concurrent with 5G DSDA, or
