Patent ID: 10034324

Abstract:
A method of optimizing connection mode procedures for a dual subscriber identity module (SIM) mobile communication device is provided. The method includes receiving, by a base station, a paging message for a first SIM in an idle mode from a core network; determining, by the base station, if a radio resource control (RRC) connection linked with the first SIM is available or not; triggering, by the base station, a second paging type message for the first SIM with a normal cause through the RRC connection linked with the first SIM if the RRC connection of the first SIM is available; determining, by the base station, if a RRC connection linked with a second SIM is available or not if the RRC connection of the first SIM is not available; triggering, by the base station, a second paging type message for the first SIM with a mapped new cause through the RRC connection linked with the second SIM if the second SIM is available; and triggering, by the base station, a first paging type message with a temporary identity and a cause received in the paging message from the core network through a paging channel if the RRC connection linked with the second SIM is not available.
