System and method for providing seamless service in a mobile device
The present disclosure relates to a system and method for providing seamless service to a dual SIM enabled user equipment. The seamless service is provided by smoothening the broadcast services which is based on the dual SIM mobile devices with a single radio frequency chain that will require tune-away from one a one type of radio service to another type of radio service when checking for possible incoming calls. Due to the tune away user experience service lag in terms of lag in the video playback which is estimated by the present system and method to perform an appropriate smoothing operation for a disruption free user experience in ailing service.
1. A method of providing seamless service in a dual subscriber identity module (SIM) environment, the method comprising steps of:
availing a first service from a network entity by a user equipment via a mobile WiFi (MiFi) device, wherein the first service is provided through a first SIM configured to operate using a first radio access technology (RAT);
detecting a second service available for the user equipment by the MiFi device, wherein the second service is provided through a second SIM configured to operate using a second radio access technology (RAT);
triggering, by the MiFi device, a tune-away procedure for a tune-away event pursuant to the detection of the second service;
generating, by the MiFi device, at least one parameter for said tune-away event, wherein
the at least one parameter is indicative of an action required for the tune-away event, and
the at least one parameter is an instantaneously generated parameter, a pre-recorded parameter or a combination thereof;
updating a service provider module, the network entity or a combination thereof, with the at least one parameter for performing said action during said tune-away event; and
providing the seamless service based on the at least one parameter by the service provider module, the network entity or a combination thereof.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising storing the at least one parameter at a storage unit.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one parameter comprises periodicity information, time duration of the tune-away procedure, data stalls information, periodicity of the data stalls, buffer status parameter or a combination thereof.
4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one parameter comprises an indication, for the service provider module, to buffer and replay the first service at a lower speed, thereby handling a data stall during the tune-away event.
5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one parameter comprises an indication, for the network entity, to stream the first service at a higher speed, thereby handling said data stall during the tune-away event.
6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said action includes increasing, by the network entity, a data transmission rate of the first service.
7. The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the increasing of the data transmission rate is achieved by increasing the data density in all user equipment for a unicast and a broadcast service.
8. The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein a modification of the buffering and a replaying speed is achieved by utilizing bit error rate (BER) and frame error rate (FER) related to the first service.
9. The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the increasing of the data transmission rate is achieved by packing more data per spectral unit for one of a unicast service and a multicast service.
10. The method as in claim 1 , wherein said action includes modifying, by the service provider module, a buffering and a replaying speed of the first service at the user equipment.
11. A system for providing a seamless service in a dual subscriber identity module (SIM) environment, the system comprises:
a user equipment for availing a first service from a network entity via a mobile WiFi (MiFi) device, wherein the first service is provided through a first SIM configured to operate using a first radio access technology (RAT);
the MiFi device for detecting a second service available for the user equipment, wherein
the MiFi device triggers a tune-away procedure for a tune-away event pursuant to detection of the second service;
the second service is provided through a second SIM configured to operate using a second radio access technology (RAT);
the MiFi device generates at least one parameter associated for said tune-away event;
the at least one parameter is indicative of an action required for the tune-away event;
the at least one parameter is an instantaneously generated parameter, a pre-recorded parameter and combination thereof; or
a service provider module, the network entity or combination thereof configured to:
receive the at least one parameter for performing said action during said tune-away event, and
provide the seamless service by performing said action based on the at least one parameter.
12. The system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the user equipment, the network entity, the MiFi device, and the service provider module are connected through various combination of wired and wireless means.
