Power Reduction Techniques for Dual-SIM Devices

摘要

Techniques are disclosed relating to reducing power consumption in dual-SIM devices. In some embodiments, a UE includes at least two SIMs, including a home SIM and a configurable SIM. In this embodiment, the UE is configured to register, using a first protocol stack, the configurable SIM with a local network. In these embodiments, the UE is configured to determine if the local network is an available network for the home SIM. In these embodiments, the UE is configured to register, using the first protocol stack, the home SIM with the local network in response to determining that the local network is an available network for the home SIM. In these embodiments, the UE is configured to monitor, using the first protocol stack, for pages for each of the home SIM using the identifier of the home SIM and the configurable SIM using the identifier of the configurable SIM.

1. An apparatus, comprising:
one or more processing elements for operating in conjunction with at least two subscriber identity modules (SIMs) comprising a home SIM and a configurable SIM, wherein the one or more processing elements are configured to:
register, using a first protocol stack, the configurable SIM with a local network using an identifier of the configurable SIM;determine if the local network is an available network for the home SIM;register, using the first protocol stack, the home SIM with the local network in response to determining that the local network is an available network for the home SIM, wherein registering the home SIM uses the identifier of the home SIM; andmonitor, using the first protocol stack, for pages for each of the home SIM using the identifier of the home SIM and the configurable SIM using the identifier of the configurable SIM.
