Managing paging restrictions in a multi-SIM user equipment in a wireless network

A multi-subscriber identity module (SIM) user equipment (UE) for managing paging restrictions in a wireless network, the UE comprising:

• memory storing instructions;
• and
• at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry, operably coupled to the memory,
• wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually of collectively, cause the UE to:
• detect whether a first SIM of the UE is configured for a dedicated data subscription;
• detect an occurrence of a trigger condition in connection with at least one of the first SIM and at least one second SIM of the UE and determining, by the UE, that a paging is not restricted on the at least one second SIM;
• enable a paging restriction to the at least one second SIM based on the occurrence of the trigger condition and the determination of the paging being not restricted on the at least one second SIM;
• and
• indicate, to a network entity connected to the at least one second SIM, paging restriction information for the paging restriction to the at least one second SIM.
