Paging block rate control in dual-SIM-dual-standby (DSDS) handsets

摘要

The various embodiments include methods for managing how a DSDS mobile communication device that is accessing an arbitrary combination of any two mobile telephony networks processes paging collisions. The embodiment methods promote the control of the paging block rates for two distinct subscriptions, in which a subscription's paging block rate is the long-term percentage of its blocked paging messages over its total number of received paging messages. In the various embodiments, a mobile communication device may use a paging blocking bias to achieve a particular paging blocking rate. The paging blocking bias may be set or adjusted through various means to cause a first subscription to have a paging blocking rate that is less than, equal to, or greater than a paging blocking rate for a second subscription.

主权项

1. A method of resolving a paging collision between a first subscription and a second subscription on a wireless communication device, comprising:
initializing a biased selection with a first probability of selecting the first subscription and a second probability of selecting the second subscription in response to the wireless communication device attaching to two mobile networks, wherein each of the first probability and the second probability is calculated based on cycle lengths of respective discontinuous reception periods for the first subscription and the second subscription; applying the biased selection to select one of the first subscription and the second subscription in response to detecting the paging collision; and completing a paging communication for one of the first subscription and the second subscription based on a result of the biased selection.
