Abstract

According to various embodiments, an electronic device may comprise at least one processor, and an RF circuit configured to process a data packet associated with a first SIM connected to the at least one processor and a data packet associated with a second SIM connected to the at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to: establish a first PDU session corresponding to the first SIM, establish a second PDU session corresponding to the second SIM, store first information for the first PDU session, based on a network slice type of the first PDU session being a specified first type, and process a first data packet associated with the first SIM using the RF circuit while deferring execution of an operation associated with the second SIM based on a processing request for the first data packet associated with the first SIM corresponding to the stored first information.

Claims14

Dependent claims

An electronic device, comprising:

at least one processor, and
a radio frequency (RF) circuit configured to process a data packet associated with a first subscriber identification module (SIM) and a data packet associated with a second SIM,
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to:
establish a first packet data unit (PDU) session corresponding to the first SIM,
establish a second PDU session corresponding to the second SIM,
obtain a first information on the first PDU session, wherein the first information on the first PDU session includes a network slice type of the first PDU session and a first IP address corresponds to an IP address of the first PDU session,
process a first data packet associated with the first IP address using the RF circuit while deferring execution of an operation associated with the second SIM based on the network slice type of the first PDU session corresponding to a specified network slice type, wherein the specified network slice type includes an Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communications (URLLC).
