Abstract
An apparatus, a system and a method of controlling a subscriber identity module (SIM) operation state in a multiple SIMs radio. For example, while operating a first packet switch (PS) service on a first SIM, a multi-SIM radio is configured to receive a PS paging signal indicating on arrival of a second PS service configured to operate on a second SIM. The radio may determine a priority of the first PS service, and a priority of the second PS service. The radio is configured to activate the second SIM, for example, if the priority of the second PS service is higher than the priority of the first PS service operating on the first SIM.
Claims25
A multiple subscriber identity module (SIM)s radio configured to control a SIM operation state, the multiple SIMs radio comprising:
- transmitter circuitry configured to transmit communications of an active packet switch (PS) service;
- receiver circuitry configured to receive communications of an active PS service;
- and
- processor circuitry configured to determine a priority of a first PS service operating on a first SIM and a priority of a second PS service to operate on a second SIM, and to activate the second PS service and suspend the first PS service, if the priority of the second PS service is higher than the priority of the first PS service.
A processor circuitry configured to control a subscriber identity module (SIM) operation state at a multiple SIMs radio, the processor circuitry comprising:
- an application layer logic to include a user application;
- and
- a packet switch (PS) service policy manger logic configured to determine a priority of a first PS service operating on a first SIM and a priority of a second PS service to operate on a second SIM, and to activate the second PS service and suspend the first PS service, if the priority of the second PS service is higher than the priority of the first PS service.
A computer program product comprising one or more tangible computer readable non-transitory storage media comprising computer-executable instructions operable to, when executed by at least one computer processor, enable the at least one computer processor to implement a method in a multiple subscriber identity module (SIMs) radio, the method comprising:
- while operating a first packet switch (PS) service on a first SIM, receiving a second PS service configured to operate on a second SIM;
- determining a priority of the first PS service, and a priority of the second PS service;
- and
- activating the second SIM, if the priority of the second PS service is higher than the priority of the first PS service.
