Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication. A modem processor of a user equipment (UE) may receive a switch indication directing the modem to utilize a designated SIM and may access identification (ID) information from the SIM, including ID information for a network operator. The modem processor may then retrieve a stored access point name (APN) associated with the network operator and establish a connection to the data network identified by the stored APN. In some cases, the APN may be stored in the modem processor after a successful connection to the data network using the designated SIM. In some cases, the UE may also identify a network priority rule associated with the network operator of the SIM and establish the connection to the data network based on the priority rule.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide methods performed by an modem-assisted-service-classification (MASC) client application operating on a multi-SIM computing device for implementing MASC functionality for two or more subscriptions. In various embodiments, the MASC client may implement MASC functionality by associating MASC policies for one or more access point names (APNs) with a specific subscription and by applying those policies to applications associated with those one or more APNs while that specific subscription is in active communication with its network. Thus, by managing a mapping of subscriptions, APNs/networks, and applications, the MASC client may enable implementation of MASC functionality for a multi-SIM computing device.

Abstract: An informing method and equipment for index parameter of access type/frequency of selection priority are provided. Said method includes that a Mobility Management Entity (MME) receives the voice capabilities and settings reported by User Equipment (UE) (101); the MME generates a Radio access type/Frequency of Selection Priority (RFSP) index according to the subscribed RFSP index, the voice capabilities and settings reported by said UE, and the operator's configuration policies (102); when the MME determines that said generated RFSP index is different from the RFSP index in use, it replaces the RFSP index in use with said generated RFSP index (104); the MME informs the Radio Access Network (RAN) of said generated RFSP index (105). The present invention overcomes the problem that the transmission of the new RFSP index in use can not be finished under the condition that the UE is in an idle state, the UE has no uplink data, and the MME does not receive the notification of the downlink data.
