Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to sharing system information (SI) updates on a wireless device that supports multiple subscriber identity modules (SIMs) and/or electronic SIMs (eSIMs). The wireless device connects to a cell of a radio access network shared between two different 5G NR cellular wireless networks managed for two different mobile network operators. The wireless device receives an SI change indication in a first broadcast control channel (BCCH) modification cycle via a first SIM or eSIM and subsequently receives updated SI values, using either the first SIM or eSIM or a second SIM or eSIM depending on connectivity states of the wireless device to the cell. Updated SI values are received via broadcast messages and/or in response to SI request messages on demand and stored in a memory shared by both the first SIM or eSIM and the second SIM or eSIM.

Abstract: A wireless network may include a PCELL base station, an SCELL base station, and user equipment (UE) that communicate using standalone carrier aggregation. The UE may receive PCELL signals during first measurement periods, may perform first measurements on the PCELL signals, may receive SCELL signals during second measurement periods, and may perform second measurements on the SCELL signals. When a scheduled reporting time approaches, the UE may compare a duration between a most recent of the second measurement periods and the reporting time to a threshold. If the duration is less than the threshold, the UE may include the most recent second measurement in a measurement report transmitted at the scheduled reporting time. When the duration exceeds the threshold, the receiver may perform a third measurement on the SCELL signals during an unscheduled period prior to the reporting time and may include the third measurement in the measurement report.
