Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 17:
18. A method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) having a first subscriber identity module (SIM), a second SIM, and a baseband processor, comprising:
decoding, at the baseband processor, a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message received from a first network and corresponding to the first SIM;
decoding, at the baseband processor, a communication received from a second network and corresponding to the second SIM while the baseband processor is processing the received RRC reconfiguration message;
determining that the communication received from the second network comprises a higher priority than the RRC reconfiguration procedure of the first SIM;
in response to determining that the communication received from the second network comprises a higher priority, processing a context of the RRC reconfiguration procedure of the first SIM;
based on processing the context:
completing the RRC reconfiguration corresponding to the first SIM when the context corresponds to a handover procedure, completing the RRC reconfiguration including informing the first network of coordinated leaving; and
aborting the RRC reconfiguration corresponding to the first SIM when the context corresponds to anything other than a handover procedure, aborting the RRC reconfiguration including informing the first network of coordinated leaving;

transitioning the first SIM to an idle mode; and
encoding, at the baseband processor, an RRC request corresponding to the second SIM for transmission to the second network.
