Abstract
A method for managing communication in a user equipment including a plurality of subscriber identity modules (SIMs). The method includes detecting that a network service is unavailable to a first SIM among the plurality of SIMS and that a network service is available to a second SIM among the plurality of SIMS; detecting an availability of an in-device hotspot; and providing, to the first SIM for sending data to a network, an access to the in-device hotspot for using the network service available to the second SIM.
Claims20
A method for managing communication in a user equipment including a plurality of subscriber identity modules (SIMs), the method comprising:
- detecting that a first network service associated with a first network is unavailable to a first SIM among the plurality of SIMS and a second network service associated with a second network is available to a second SIM among the plurality of SIMS;
- detecting an availability of an in-device hotspot;
- and
- providing, to the first SIM for sending data to the first network, an access to the in-device hotspot for using the second network service available to the second SIM.
A method for managing communication in a user equipment including a plurality of subscriber identity modules (SIMs), the method comprising:
- receiving, from a first SIM among the plurality of SIMs, a request for an available first network service associated with a first network for transferring data of the first SIM when the first network service of the first SIM is unavailable;
- detecting availability of an in-device hotspot in response to the request, wherein the in-device hotspot is provided by a second SIM among the plurality of SIMS and is visible to the plurality of SIMS;
- and
- providing, to the first SIM, an access to the in-device hotspot for sending data to the first network through a second network service associated with a second network of the second SIM.
A user equipment having a plurality of subscriber identity modules (SIMs), the user equipment comprising:
- at least one processor configured to:
- detect that a first network service associated with a first network is unavailable to a first SIM among a plurality of SIMS and that a second network service associated with a second network is available to a second SIM among the plurality of SIMS;
- detect an availability of an in-device hotspot;
- and
- provide, to the first SIM for sending data to the first network, an access to the in-device hotspot for using the second network service available to the second SIM.
A user equipment including a plurality of subscriber identity modules (SIMs), the user equipment comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive a request for an available network service for transferring data of a first SIM from among the plurality of SIMs when a first network service associated with a first network of the first SIM is unavailable;
- and
- a detector communicatively coupled to the receiver and configured to:
- detect availability of an in-device hotspot in response to the request, wherein the in-device hotspot is provided by a second SIM among the plurality of SIMS and is visible to the plurality of SIMS;
- and
- provide to the first SIM an access to the in-device hotspot for transferring the data to the first network service through a second network service of the second SIM.
