Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for managing acquisitions including, but not limited to, executing a first portion of a first acquisition process for acquiring service for a first subscription of a user equipment (UE); obtaining at least one parameter as a result of executing the first portion of the first acquisition process; and executing a second portion of a second acquisition process for acquiring service for a second subscription of the UE using the at least one parameter.

Abstract: Aspects of managing background public mobile network (BPLMN) searches are described. For example, in an aspect, a user equipment (UE) may determine whether one or more segments of a frequency acquisition from a prior discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle remain to be completed and whether the one or more segments of the frequency acquisition may be performed in a remaining portion of the current DRX cycle. If so, the UE may be configured to perform the one or more segments of the frequency acquisition when the identified remaining portion of the current DRX cycle provides sufficient time.
