Abstract: A multi-SIM user equipment (UE) can perform link failure operations associated with a first universal subscriber identity module (USIM) in an active state during a time gap when the UE can perform a network operation on a second USIM in a non-active state.

The UE can transmit a request to a network entity for a time gap to perform a network operation associated with the second USIM, while the first USIM remains in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state during the time gap. The UE can monitor, using a second procedure during the time gap, the failure event associated with the first USIM.
