The present disclosure relates to a communication method and
system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication
system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G)
system with a technology for
Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building,
smart city,
smart car, connected car, health care,
digital education, smart retail, security and safety services.Embodiments herein provide a method for switching between a plurality of SIM networks by a multi SIM UE in a
wireless communication network. The method includes determining, by the multi SIM that the multi SIM UE needs to initiate an
active data session on a second SIM network based on one of a
paging message received by the multi SIM UE from the second SIM network and at least one MO activity which needs to be delivered using the second SIM network. Further, the method includes sending, by the multi SIM UE, a leaving operator message to the first SIM network indicating that the multi SIM UE is leaving the first SIM network; and switching, by the multi SIM UE, from the first SIM network to the second SIM network by triggering procedures to initiate the
active data session on the second SIM network.
