A method comprising: receiving a first set of requests to access a signal processing resource of a device during a first time period, wherein the device supports a first subscription and a second subscription, wherein at least one of the first set of requests is related to the first subscription and at least one of the first set of requests is related to the second subscription; granting access to the signal processing resource to the first subscription during the first time period and denying access to the signal processing resource to the second subscription during the first time period; receiving a second set of requests to access the signal processing resource of the device during a second time period, wherein at least one of the second set of requests is related to the first subscription and at least one of the second set of requests is related to the second subscription; determining, based on a remedial action policy and based on historical information related to subscription access to the signal processing resource, whether to grant access to the signal processing resource to the second subscription during the second time period and to deny access to the signal processing resource to the first subscription during the second time period, wherein the remedial action policy defines a threshold number of access denials before the second subscription is granted access to the signal processing resource during the second time period; and granting access to the signal processing resource during the second time period based on the determination.
