Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) to perform methods for enhancement of multi-SIM devices, such as UE 106. A network may increase paging retries for known MU-SIM devices, e.g., based on an indication of capabilities from a MU-SIM device. The indication may be via a NAS registration request, an RRC capability procedure, and/or an RRC UE assistance procedure. Additionally, a network may include an indication of a paging priority to the UE. The UE may then determine a response to the page based, at least in part, on the indicated priority. Further, the UE may indicate a tune-away to the network. The indication of the tune-away may include a cause and/or duration for the tune-away and may be provided at an RRC level or a network access stratum (NAS) level.

A system and method is disclosed for allowing a Third-Party (TP) User Equipment (UE) to use a base station/access point (BS/AP), such as a 4G eNodeB (eNB) or a 5G gNodeB (gNB) of a private network, such as an enterprise network to access components of a network core, such as an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) in the TP network while also having access to features provided by or through components of an EPC within the private network.

A method for sharing a radio frequency (RF) resource among multi-subscriber identification module (SIM) stacks in a multi-SIM device, includes: receiving two paging requests from the multi-SIM stacks for performing communication with a network entity via the RF resource; transmitting the two paging received requests to the network entity via the RF resource; detecting a page sharing conflict between the two paging requests of the multi-SIM stacks; determining, based on the detection of the page sharing conflict, a connection status of a connection between each stack of the multi-SIM stacks and the network entity. The connection status indicates a communication medium via which each stack of the multi-SIM stacks is connected with the network entity. The method includes prioritizing, based on the determined connection status, a grant of the RF resource to a stack of the multi-SIM stacks whose connection status indicates a cellular connection as the communication medium.

A user equipment according to an aspect of the present disclosure, which communicates with a plurality of mobile networks using a plurality of subscriber identity modules, includes: a memory storing a program; and one or more processors configured to execute the program to: receive a paging message from a first mobile network; transmit in response to the paging message, to an AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function), a SERVICE REQUEST message including a first information element indicating that the user equipment does not prefer to receive the paging message from the first mobile network and a second information element indicating that the paging message is not transmitted except for a voice service in a case where the user equipment determines to not prefer to receive the paging message from the first network; and receive the paging message only for the voice service in a case where the first information element and the second information element is transmitted.

A wireless communication device and a wireless communication method are provided. When a master mode is set in a mode memory, a mode setting notification is transmitted to a different wireless communication device. When a mode setting permission notification for the mode setting notification is received from the different wireless communication device, the master mode is settled as a communication mode, and the master mode is set in the mode memory. When a slave mode is set in the mode memory and when a mode setting notification is received from the different wireless communication device, the slave mode is settled as the communication mode, the slave mode is set in the mode memory, and a mode setting permission notification is transmitted to the different wireless communication device. Thus, the communication mode can be automatically set in a pair of wireless communication devices.
