Wireless system selection factoring RF resource availability in dual access phones

摘要

Methods, devices, and systems embodiments enable management of service preemption of at least one of a plurality of subscriptions that utilize a plurality of radio-frequency (RF) chains on a multi-Subscriber-Identity-Module, multi-active communication device in a manner that can accommodate a variety of different RF hardware components and configurations. Various embodiments provide methods implemented by a processor to manage service preemption. In response to detecting that a service of a second subscription initiated on a first RF chain is or will preempt a service of a first subscription that is also serviced by the first RF chain, the processor may determine whether there is a similar service on a second RF chain that may be used as a substitute for the first subscription's preempted service and, when available, the processor may configure the first subscription to begin utilizing the substitute service until the first RF chain is available.

主权项

1. A method implemented on a multi-Subscriber-Identity-Module (SIM), multi-active communication device for managing services of at least one of a plurality of subscriptions that utilize a plurality of radio-frequency (RF) chains, comprising:
determining whether a service of a second subscription that is associated with a first RF chain is preempting or will preempt a service of a first subscription on the first RF chain; determining whether there is another service on a second RF chain that is available as a substitute for the preempted service of the first subscription in response to determining that a service of the second subscription that is associated with the first RF chain is preempting or will preempt a service of the first subscription on the first RF chain; and configuring the first subscription to acquire the substitute service on the second RF chain in response to determining that there is another service on the second RF chain that is available as a substitute for the preempted service of the first subscription.
