Downlink Signaling Counter Management for Multiple Subscriber Identity Devices

摘要

A downlink signaling counter management method is disclosed for a communication device adapted to be simultaneously associated with at least two subscriber identities and adapted to simultaneously provide radio receiving capabilities to less than all of the at least two subscriber identities. The method comprises, for each decoding of a paging block for a subscriber identity, determining whether the paging block decoding was correct and determining whether a previous paging block decoding condition is fulfilled. If the paging block decoding is correct, the downlink signaling counter is updated with a first value if the previous paging block decoding condition is fulfilled and with a second value if the previous paging block decoding condition is not fulfilled. If the paging block decoding is not correct and if the paging block decoding was based on a maximum number of paging bursts, the downlink signaling counter is updated with a third value if the previous paging block decoding condition is fulfilled and with a fourth value if the previous paging block decoding condition is not fulfilled. Corresponding computer program product, system and device are also disclosed.

1. A downlink signaling counter management method for a communication device adapted to be simultaneously associated with at least two subscriber identities and adapted to simultaneously provide radio receiving capabilities to less than all of the at least two subscriber identities, the method comprising for each decoding of a paging block for a subscriber identity:
determining whether the paging block decoding was correct; determining whether a previous paging block decoding condition is fulfilled; if the paging block decoding is correct, updating the downlink signaling counter with a first value if the previous paging block decoding condition is fulfilled and updating the downlink signaling counter with a second value if the previous paging block decoding condition is not fulfilled; if the paging block decoding is not correct and if the paging block decoding was based on a maximum number of paging bursts, updating the downlink signaling counter with a third value if the previous paging block decoding condition is fulfilled and updating the downlink signaling counter with a fourth value if the previous paging block decoding condition is not fulfilled.
