Claim Text:
1. A wireless communication apparatus configured to receive and transmit data via a first cell belonging to a first wireless network and a second cell belonging to a second wireless network, the apparatus comprising: a radio transceiver module; a first interface for a first subscriber identity card camping on the first cell; a second interface for a second subscriber identity card camping on the second cell; a processor coupled to the radio transceiver module, the first and the second interfaces and including a driver of the radio transceiver module configured to choose the first or the second wireless network to which the radio transceiver module should listen to; a pattern detector configured to obtain, for each of the first and second wireless networks, a paging block repetition pattern for paging blocks assigned to the apparatus; and a conflict manager configured to select the first or the second wireless network to listen to when a paging block of the first wireless network collides with a paging block of the second wireless network, wherein the conflict manager is configured to select the first or the second wireless network based on the paging block repetition patterns to minimize a probability of loss of a paging message associated to the paging blocks by predicting next paging block transmissions, wherein each of the first and second wireless networks is configured to signal a call for the apparatus by applying a pattern assigned to the apparatus on at least two paging blocks, delays between two consecutive paging blocks on which the pattern is applied being predetermined and specific to each of the first and second wireless network and forming a repetition pattern, and wherein the pattern detector is configured to detect, for each of the first and the second network, the predetermined delays, and wherein the apparatus is configured to
