Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications and, more particularly, to recovery from a loss of service in wireless networks. An example method generally includes: in response to a loss of service from a cell of a first radio access technology (RAT) associated with a VPLMN, attempting to camp on a first cell, receiving, from the first cell, a rejection of the camping attempt indicating roaming is not allowed, based on receiving the rejection indicating roaming is not allowed, searching at least one of an home public land mobile network (HPLMN) or registered public land mobile network (RPLMN) for one or more second cells of the first RAT, wherein searching includes refraining from searching at least one other RATs of the HPLMN, and if at least one second cell is detected, attempting to camp on the at least one second cell.

Abstract: A multi-subscriber identification module (SIM) wireless communication device with a first SIM and a second SIM associated with a shared radio frequency (RF) resource may determine that timing collisions are predicted between an active period of a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle associated with the first SIM and an active period of a DRX cycle associated with the second SIM. In response, the wireless communication device may determine whether the first SIM is registered with an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) to use Voice-over-wireless local area network (VoWLAN) service over a wireless local area network (WLAN). If the first SIM is registered with the IMS to use VoWLAN service over the WLAN, the wireless communication device may shift the conflicting DRX cycle associated with the first SIM by a time margin, and receive paging messages for mobile terminating calls on the modem stack associated with the first SIM over the WLAN.
