Provided is a method for connecting a terminal cooperating with a secure element to a second network, the secure element having a subscription from a first network whilst the secure element is roaming on a third network, the secure element storing the PLMN code of the second network, called second PLMN code, and the PLMN code of the third network, called third PLMN code, the second PLMN code having a higher priority than the third PLMN code in the OPLMN roaming file, the second PLMN having no roaming agreement with the first network nor the third network, and the third network having a coverage that overlaps at least a part of the coverage of the second network, the method comprising, when it is detected that the second network has rejected the attachment request of the terminal.

Method, apparatus, computer program for a user equipment having at least two connections to at least two network nodes, where each connection corresponds to a different user identity, selecting by the user equipment one of the at least two network nodes to communicate exclusively with during one or more time intervals; and sending by the user equipment one or more messages toward the other ones of the at least two network nodes, the one or more messages indicating to the other ones of the at least two network nodes that the user equipment is unavailable for communication during the one or more time intervals.

One disclosure of the present specification provides a method by which a first network node performs communication on the basis of multiple USIMs. The method can comprise: receiving, from UE, a registration request message including MT service configuration information; receiving, from the UE, information informing that the UE leaves a first network including the first network node; receiving, from a second network node, information related to downlink data about the UE; and transmitting a paging message or a failure indication on the basis of the MT service configuration information and the information related to the downlink data.

The present disclosure provides a method in a network device serving a first cell and a second cell. The method includes: determining that a first User Equipment, UE, in the first cell and a second UE in the second cell are associated with one physical terminal device; and enabling, in response to said determining, the terminal device to perform as the first UE, without enabling the terminal device to perform as the second UE, one or more of: measuring a reference signal from the network device, transmitting a reference signal to the network device, or transmitting a measurement report to the network device.

A method for controlling includes activating a virtual subscriber identity module (SIM) card in a terminal such as a mobile phone in response to determining that the terminal is in a lost state; receiving a control instruction through the virtual SIM card; and controlling the terminal based on the control instruction. A mobile phone or an electronic device incorporating the method and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium are also described.

The disclosure relates to 5th generation (5G) and/or 6th generation (6G) communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. A method is provided of operating a user equipment (UE) with multi universal subscriber identity module (M-USIM) capability in a wireless communication system. The method includes performing a registration procedure with respect to a connected telecommunication network if the UE is in a non-allowed area and encounters or receives a trigger for a network access stratum (NAS) procedure related to an M-USIM feature.

The disclosure relates to a fifth generation (5G) or sixth generation (6G) communication system. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes selecting a stand-alone non-public network (SNPN) based on at least one of whether the SNPN supports a public warning system (PWS) or whether the SNPN supports an emergency call, transmitting, to a base station within the selected SNPN, a registration request message including information associated with supporting the PWS, and receiving, from the base station, a registration accept message.

An electronic device includes a communication module, an embedded-subscriber identification module (eSIM) in which at least one profile is stored, and a processor. The processor is configured to, when accessing a server and succeeding in authentication for a first profile among at least one profile stored in the eSIM, receive an authentication token indicating successful authentication for the first profile from the server, when establishing communication with a first electronic device through the communication module, inform the first electronic device that the first profile is transmittable data, and when transmission of the first profile is requested from the first electronic device, transmit, to the first electronic device, the authentication token for downloading a second profile corresponding to the first profile from the server.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for responding to paging by multiple-universal subscription identity module (multi-USIM) devices. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes camping on a first cell associated with a first universal subscriber identity module (USIM), wherein the UE has a first USIM and a second USIM; receiving a paging message from the first cell; and transmitting, in response to the paging message, a first response message indicating that the UE requests to enter an idle or inactive mode on the first cell.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for coordinated tune away for multiple subscriber identity module (SIM) devices. A method by a user equipment includes communicating with a first base station (BS) of a first radio access network (RAN) in a connected mode using a first subscription associated with a first SIM of the UE, wherein the UE: includes a second subscription associated with a second SIM for communicating with a second BS of a second RAN, and operates in an idle mode associated with the second subscription while communicating using the first subscription; determining a tune away associated with the first RAN will occur to allow the UE to perform one or more first actions associated with the second subscription; and transmitting information to the first BS indicating the tune away and a request to suspend one or more second actions associated with the first subscription.
