Method and apparatus for improving reception availability on multi-subscriber identity module devices

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
• the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
• determine network access information for one or more applications resident on a device having two or more subscriber identity modules, wherein the network access information specifies, at least in part, one or more network access schedules, which of the two or more subscriber identity modules to use for establishing one or more network connections for the one or more applications, or a combination thereof;
• process and/or facilitate a processing of the network access information to determine a coordinated network access schedule for the one or more applications;
• and
• determine to use the coordinated network access schedule in place of the one or more network schedules to cause, at least in part, an establishment of the one or more network connections.

A computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to at least perform the following steps:

• determining network access information for one or more applications resident on a device having two or more subscriber identity modules, wherein the network access information specifies, at least in part, one or more network access schedules, which of the two or more subscriber identity modules to use for establishing one or more network connections for the one or more applications, or a combination thereof;
• processing and/or facilitating a processing of the network access information to determine a coordinated network access schedule for the one or more applications;
• and
• determining to use the coordinated network access schedule in place of the one or more network schedules to cause, at least in part, an establishment of the one or more network connections.
