Method to reduce recovery time from out-of-service event in dual receive (dr) or dual sim dual access (dsda) capable user equipment

A user equipment (UE) within a wireless communication network, comprising:

• a first transceiver;
• a second transceiver;
• a memory;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the first and second transceivers and the memory, wherein the processor and the memory are configured to:
• generate a first set of frequencies to scan for signals from at least one candidate cell from which the UE may receive wireless service with respect to a first subscriber identity module (SIM);
• generate a second set of frequencies to scan for signals from the at least one candidate cell from which the UE may receive wireless service with respect to the first SIM;
• scan for one or more signals from the at least one candidate cell including tuning the first transceiver configured to operate in accordance with the first SIM to one or more of the first set of frequencies;
• and
• scan for one or more signals from the at least one candidate cell including tuning the second transceiver configured to operate in accordance with a second SIM to one or more of the second set of frequencies.

A user equipment (UE) within a wireless communication network, comprising:

• means for generating a first set of frequencies to scan for signals from at least one candidate cell from which the UE may receive wireless service with respect to a first subscriber identity module (SIM);
• means for generating a second set of frequencies to scan for signals from the at least one candidate cell from which the UE may receive wireless service with respect to the first SIM;
• means for scanning for one or more signals from the at least one candidate cell including means for tuning a first transceiver configured to operate in accordance with the first SIM to one or more of the first set of frequencies;
• and
• means for scanning for one or more signals from the at least one candidate cell including means for tuning a second transceiver configured to operate in accordance with a second SIM to one or more of the second set of frequencies.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code, comprising code for causing a computer in a user equipment (UE) to:

• generate a first set of frequencies to scan for signals from at least one candidate cell from which the UE may receive wireless service with respect to a first subscriber identity module (SIM);
• generate a second set of frequencies to scan for signals from the at least one candidate cell from which the UE may receive wireless service with respect to the first SIM;
• scan for one or more signals from the at least one candidate cell including tuning a first transceiver configured to operate in accordance with the first SIM to one or more of the first set of frequencies;
• and
• scan for one or more signals from the at least one candidate cell including tuning a second transceiver configured to operate in accordance with a second SIM to one or more of the second set of frequencies.
