Problems solved by technology

Despite the simplicity of this internal architecture, independent operation of parallel UICC / SIM (and associated hardware / software) in wireless communication devices can lead to inefficiencies, as each parallel internal system may reuse various functions for network connection management

Abstract

Apparatus and methods to reuse wireless circuitry to communicate with multiple wireless networks to support multiple subscriber identities in a wireless communication device are disclosed. A representative method includes receiving signaling messages for a second subscriber identity from a second wireless network while connected to a first wireless network for a first subscriber identity. A portion of radio frequency wireless circuitry is reconfigured to communicate with the second wireless network to establish a signaling channel and respond to signaling messages received from the second wireless network. The portion of radio frequency wireless circuitry is reconfigured between the first and second wireless networks to maintain a connection with the first wireless network while also receiving from the second wireless network limited information that can be provided to a user. Representative information includes an indication of an originator of a mobile terminated connection request and short message service data.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments described herein relate generally to wireless communications and, more particularly, to methods and apparatus for reusing wireless circuits to support simultaneous communication of multiple user identities in a wireless communication device. Background technique [0002] Fourth-generation (4G) cellular networks employ newer radio access technology systems that implement the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) standards, and network operators worldwide are They are rapidly developed and deployed in parallel with traditional second-generation (2G) and third-generation (3G) wireless networks. A wireless communication device may include the ability to connect to different types of wireless networks, for example, different types of wireless networks based on what wireless networks are available in a particular location, based on the capabilities of available wireless networks, based on t...
