Abstract: A wireless communication apparatus, which is configured to receive and transmit data via cells of at least two network cell belonging different networks, selects one of the networks to listen to in case of conflict. The apparatus has a radio transceiver module and a processor. The processor includes a driver of the radio transceiver module to choose one network that the radio transceiver module should listen to, a pattern detector configured to obtain a paging block repetition pattern for each of the networks, and a conflict manager configured to select the network to listen to when paging blocks from different networks collide. The conflict manager selects the network based on the paging block repetition patterns to minimize the probability of loss of a paging message associated to the paging blocks by predicting the next paging block transmissions.

Abstract: A wireless communication apparatus to receive and transmit data via a first cell belonging to a first wireless network and a second cell belonging to a second wireless network comprises: a radio transceiver module; a processor comprising a driver of the radio transceiver module to choose one network that the radio transceiver module should listen to; and a pattern detector to obtain, for each of the first and second networks, a paging block repetition pattern for paging blocks assigned to the apparatus; and a conflict manager to select the network to listen when a paging block of the first network collides with a paging block of the second network. The conflict manager selects the network based on the obtained paging block repetition patterns to minimize the probability of loss of a paging message associated to the paging blocks by predicting the next paging block transmissions.
