Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure may relate to a system and method for updating a status information of a first SIM [ 112 A] and a second SIM [ 112 B] of a user equipment [ 110 ] at a network entity [ 140 ]. In a preferred embodiment, the system [ 100 ] comprising: the network entity [ 140 ] configured to receive and/or initiate a first voice call from the first SIM [ 112 A]; and the user equipment [ 110 ] configured to allocate a radio resource to the second SIM [ 112 B] for transmitting the status information to the network entity [ 140 ]; allocate the radio resource to the first SIM [ 112 A] for availing the first voice call; and re-allocate the radio resource to the second SIM [ 112 B] for transmitting the status information (indicating availability of the second SIM [ 112 B]) to the network entity [ 140 ] the user equipment [ 110 ] in an event the voice connection on the first SIM [ 102 A] is disconnected.

Claims (34)

1. A method [ 600 ] for updating a status information of a first SIM [ 112 A] and a second SIM [ 112 B] of a user equipment [ 110 ] at a network entity [ 140 ], the method comprising:

one of receiving and initiating, by the network entity [ 140 ], a first voice call from the first SIM [ 112 A], wherein

the first SIM [ 112 A] and the second SIM [ 112 B] have one of an active data session and a passive data session, and

the first SIM [ 112 A] and the second SIM [ 112 B] are in an ideal state;

suspending, by the user equipment [ 110 ], a data session of the second SIM [ 112 B] in an event the second SIM [ 112 B] is in the active data session;

allocating, by the user equipment [ 110 ], a radio resource to the second SIM [ 112 B] for transmitting the status information to the network entity [ 140 ], wherein the status information indicates unavailability of the second SIM [ 112 B] for receiving a second voice call;

allocating, by the user equipment [ 110 ], the radio resource to the first SIM [ 112 A] for establishing a voice connection for availing the first voice call, wherein the first SIM [ 112 A] is in an active state and the second SIM [ 112 B] is in a passive state; and

allocating, by the user equipment [ 110 ], the radio resource to the second SIM [ 112 B] for transmitting the status information to the network entity [ 10 ], wherein

the radio resource is allocated to the second SIM [ 112 B] in an event the voice connection on the first SIM [ 112 A] is disconnected,

the status information indicates availability of the second SIM [ 112 B] for receiving the second voice call, and

the first SIM [ 112 A] and the second SIM [ 112 B] are in the ideal state.

2. The method [ 600 ] as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising storing and updating the status information of the first SIM [ 112 A] and the second SIM [ 112 B] of the user equipment [ 110 ] at the network entity [ 140 ], the user equipment [ 110 ] and a combination thereof.

3. The method [ 600 ] as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising transmitting an acknowledging status, by the network entity [ 140 ], on receiving the status information from the user equipment [ 110 ], wherein the status information indicates availability of the second SIM [ 112 B] for receiving the second voice call.

4. The method [ 600 ] as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the user equipment [ 110 ] is a dual SIM dual standby communication device.

5. The method [ 600 ] as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the user equipment [ 110 ] receives data packets from the network entity [ 140 ] in the active data session.

6. The method [ 600 ] as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the user equipment [ 110 ] does not receive data packets from the network entity [ 140 ] in the passive data session.

7. The method [ 600 ] as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first SIM [ 112 A] and the second SIM [ 112 B] are capable of receiving one of the first voice call and the second voice call in the ideal state.

8. The method [ 600 ] as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the allocating the radio resource to the second SIM [ 112 B] and the first SIM [ 112 A] is for a pre-defined time period.

9. The method [ 600 ] as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the active state indicates an ongoing voice call.

10. The method [ 600 ] as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the passive state indicates no ongoing voice call and incapability of a SIM to receive any voice call.

11. A system [ 100 ] for updating a status information of a first SIM [ 112 A] and a second SIM [ 112 B] of a user equipment [ 110 ] at a network entity [ 140 ], the system [ 100 ] comprising:

the network entity [ 140 ] configured to one of receive and initiate a first voice call from the first SIM [ 112 A], wherein

the first SIM [ 112 A] and the second SIM [ 112 B] have one of an active data session and a passive data session, and

the first SIM [ 112 A] and the second SIM [ 112 B] are in an ideal state;

the user equipment [ 110 ] configured to:

suspend a data session of the second SIM [ 112 B] in an event the second SIM [ 112 B] is in the active data session;

allocate a radio resource to the second SIM [ 112 B] for transmitting the status information to the network entity [ 140 ], wherein the status information indicates unavailability of the second SIM [ 112 B] for receiving a second voice call;

allocate the radio resource to the first SIM [ 112 A] for establishing a voice connection for availing the first voice call, wherein the first SIM [ 112 A] is in an active state and the second SIM [ 112 B] is in a passive state; and

allocate the radio resource to the second SIM [ 112 B] for transmitting the status information to the network entity [ 140 ], wherein

the radio resource is allocated to the second SIM [ 112 B] in an event the voice connection on the first SIM [ 112 A] is disconnected,

the status information indicates availability of the second SIM [ 112 B] for receiving the second voice call, and

the first SIM [ 112 A] and the second SIM [ 112 B] are in the ideal state.

12. The system [ 100 ] as claimed in claim 11 , wherein at least one of the user equipment [ 110 ] and the network entity [ 140 ] is further configured to for store and update the status information of the first SIM [ 112 A] and the second SIM [ 112 B] of the user equipment [ 110 ].

13. The system [ 100 ] as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the network entity [ 140 ] is further configured to transmit an acknowledging status on receiving the status information from the user equipment [ 110 ], wherein the status information indicates availability of the second SIM [ 112 B] for receiving the second voice call.
