Abstract
Systems, apparatus and methods for wireless communication are described, and more specifically, to techniques related to managing multiple subscriber identity modules (SIMs). One example method for wireless communication includes selecting, by a wireless device configured with at least a first subscriber identity module (SIM) and a second SIM, a primary SIM, performing a measurement of a reference signal configured for the primary SIM to obtain a primary result associated with the primary SIM, and reporting the primary result. The primary result can then be applied to other SIMs configured on the wireless device.
Claims20
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- selecting, by a wireless device configured with at least a first subscriber identity module (SIM) and a second SIM, a primary SIM;
- performing a measurement of a reference signal configured for the primary SIM to obtain a primary result associated with the primary SIM;
- and
- reporting, by the wireless device, the primary result,
- wherein the method further comprises:
- transmitting a first indication or a second indication,
- wherein the first indication indicates that the primary result applies to a secondary SIM configured with the wireless device, wherein a received control signal indicates not to apply the primary result to the secondary SIM,
- wherein the second indication, which is transmitted prior to the primary result being reported, indicates that a first measurement result associated with the first SIM applies to the second SIM or that a second measurement result associated with the second SIM applies to the first SIM.
A device for wireless communication, comprising:
- at least one processor in a wireless device configured to cause the wireless device to:
- select a primary subscriber identity module (SIM), wherein the wireless device is configured with at least a first SIM and a second SIM;
- perform a measurement of a reference signal configured for the primary SIM to obtain a primary result associated with the primary SIM;
- and
- report the primary result,
- wherein the at least one processor is further configured to cause the wireless device to:
- transmit a first indication or a second indication,
- wherein the first indication indicates that the primary result applies to a secondary SIM configured with the wireless device, wherein a received control signal indicates not to apply the primary result to the secondary SIM,
- wherein the second indication, which is transmitted prior to the primary result being reported, indicates that a first measurement result associated with the first SIM applies to the second SIM or that a second measurement result associated with the second SIM applies to the first SIM.
A method of wireless communication comprising:
- transmitting, by a network device, a reference signal;
- and
- receiving, from a wireless device configured with at least a first subscriber identity module (SIM) and a second SIM, a primary measurement result of the reference signal,
- wherein the primary measurement result is associated a primary SIM of the wireless device,
- wherein the method further comprises:
- receiving, from the wireless device, a first indication or a second indication,
- wherein the first indication indicates that the primary measurement result applies to a secondary SIM configured with the wireless device, wherein a received control signal indicates not to apply the primary measurement result to the secondary SIM,
- wherein the second indication, which is received prior to the primary measurement result being received, indicates that a first measurement result associated with the first SIM applies to the second SIM or that a second measurement result associated with the second SIM applies to the first SIM.
