Abstract: A communication device, method and computer program product enable increased functionality using multiple subscriber identity modules (SIMs). The communication device is camped on a first network node of a first subset of network nodes of a first public land mobile network (PLMN) as one home PLMN using a first SIM. The communication device is camped on a second network node of a second subset of network nodes of a second PLMN as another home PLMN using a second SIM. The communication device monitors communication performance and level of quality of service available from the second PLMN while connected using the second SIM. In response to determining that the communication performance and/or the level of quality of service would be improved, the communication device triggers a radio frequency (RF) front end of the communication device to scan for, acquire, and register to one of the first subset of network nodes using the second SIM.

Abstract: A method of handling multi-access (MA) Protocol data unit (PDU) session under inter-system change is proposed. An MA PDU session uses one 3GPP access network or one non-3GPP access network at a time, or simultaneously one 3GPP access network and one non-3GPP access network. The UE and network can support Access Traffic Steering Switching and Splitting (ATSSS) functionalities to distribute traffic over 3GPP access and non-3GPP access for the established MA PDU session. Upon intersystem change from 5GS to EPS over the 3GPP access, if interworking with EPS is not supported, the MA PDU session is maintained in 5GS over the non-3GPP access type. Data traffic over of the MA PDU session over the 3GPP access type is transferred to the non-3GPP access type.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling connectivity of a user equipment device (UE). When the UE is connected with an access node in a cell provided by the access node, the access node determines that uplink noise in the cell is threshold high. And responsive to at least determining that uplink noise in the cell is at least threshold high, the access node applies a battery-level-based UE-offloading process to offload the UE from the cell. For instance, the access node could cause the UE to hand over or otherwise transition from being connected in the cell to instead being connected in another cell.
