Wireless device, method of operating and processing system

摘要

A wireless device has a first SIM and a second SIM. The first SIM and the second SIM share a common radio system. A processing system determines whether to allocate use of the radio system to the second SIM for a time period that occurs when the first SIM is in an active connected mode using the common radio system in order to be able to at least one of transmit data and receive data. The processing system allocates or denies use of the radio system to the second SIM accordingly.

1. A method of operating a wireless device having at least a first subscriber identity module (SIM) and a second SIM which share a common radio system, the method comprising:
a first SIM of the wireless device being in an active connected mode using a common radio system of the wireless device in order to be able to at least one of transmit data and receive data; determining whether to allocate use of the radio system to a second SIM of the wireless device for a time period; and at least one of:
allocating use of the radio system to the second SIM if the determination is that the first SIM is not scheduled to use the radio system to transmit or receive a signal while in the active connected mode during the time period;allocating use of the radio system to the second SIM if the determination is that the first SIM is scheduled to use the radio system to transmit or receive a signal while in the active connected mode during the time period and it is further determined that use of the radio system by the second SIM is to be a higher priority than said scheduled use of the radio system by the first SIM; andinterrupting use of the radio system by the first SIM while in the active connected mode, and allocating use of the radio system to the second SIM to transmit or receive a signal during the time period.
