Abstract: Methods and devices for resolving paging collisions in a communication device (105-1) are described. The method includes detecting a probable paging collision between two subscriber identity modules (SIMs) (115) of the communication device (105-1) and determining whether at least one SIM of the communication device (105-1) has a non-serving cell in a corresponding broadcast control channel (BCCH) allocation list (BA-list). Further, the method includes ascertaining, based on one or more selection parameters, whether the at least one SIM can be selected for forced cell reselection and indicating, based on the ascertaining, exclusion of a currently serving cell of a SIM selected for the forced cell reselection from normal cell reselection procedure. Further, the forced cell reselection is initiated for the selected SIM.

Abstract: A communication terminal is described including a transceiver, a plurality of subscriber identity modules, wherein the transceiver is configured to receive a signal for each of the subscriber identity modules, a determiner configured to determine, for each subscriber identity module, a rating of the received signal and a controller configured to select a subscriber identity module from the plurality of subscriber identity modules for a communication service based on the ratings and configured to control the transceiver to use the communication service by means of the selected subscriber identity module.

Abstract: A communication device is described comprising a receiver configured to receive a radio signal from another communication device via a communication channel; a detector configured to detect the presence of an impairment of the communication channel; a determiner configured to determine a type of the impairment of the communication channel; and a transmitter configured to transmit an indication of the type of the impairment of the communication channel to the other communication device.
