Abstract
The disclosure concerns configuring operation of a User Equipment (UE) with a first cellular network as a first subscriber, the UE simultaneously operating with a second cellular network as a second, different subscriber. At a network entity of the first cellular network, information on a communication activity pattern for the UE with the second cellular network is received. Operation of the UE with the first cellular network is configured based on the received communication activity pattern.
Claims16
A method for configuring operation of a User Equipment, UE, with a first cellular network as a first subscriber, the UE simultaneously operating with a second cellular network as a second, different subscriber, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a network entity of the first cellular network, information on a communication activity pattern for the UE with the second cellular network, wherein the communication activity pattern is defined for a period of time;
- and
- configuring operation of the UE with the first cellular network based on the received communication activity pattern.
A method for configuring operation of a User Equipment, UE, with a first cellular network as a first subscriber, the UE simultaneously operating with a second cellular network as a second, different subscriber, the method comprising:
- communicating from the UE or from a network entity of the second cellular network to a network entity of the first cellular network, information on a communication activity pattern for the UE with the second cellular network, in order to allow the network entity of the first cellular network to configure operation of the UE with the first cellular network,
- wherein the communication activity pattern is defined for a period of time.
A network entity of a first cellular network, said network entity comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more hardware storage devices that store instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to cause the network entity to:
- receive information on a communication activity pattern for a user equipment (UE) with a second cellular network, wherein the communication activity pattern is defined for a period of time;
- and
- configure operation of the UE with the first cellular network based on the received communication activity pattern.
