Method and apparatus to support data subscription selection and aggregation in dual ps scenario

An electronic device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, and cause the electronic device to perform:
• determining a primary data subscription and a secondary data subscription for the electronic device;
• processing a request for packet service from an application associated with the electronic device;
• establishing data connections for the application in response to the request for packet service through the primary data subscription and the secondary data subscription based on a data subscription policy;
• and
• aggregating the data connections based on a satisfaction of an aggregation condition, wherein the aggregation condition is based on at least one of:
• user preferences, a threshold data size, a threshold throughput, external data sharing, or capacities associated with the primary data subscription and the secondary data subscription.

A non-transitory storage medium of an electronic device storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of the electronic device, cause the electronic device to perform:

• determining a primary data subscription and a secondary data subscription for an electronic device;
• processing a request for packet service from an application associated with the electronic device;
• establishing a first data connection for the application in response to the request for packet service through the primary data subscription based on a data subscription policy;
• determining a service failure or a service degradation associated with the first data connection;
• switching the first data connection to be through the secondary data subscription;
• recovering the primary data subscription;
• and
• switching the first data connection to be through the primary data subscription.
