Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a user, input associated with a call request. The UE may select a first subscription, of at least two subscriptions associated with the UE, based at least in part on at least one parameter associated with a unified access control (UAC) check for the call request. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may display, on a screen of the UE, an indication that the call request is barred based at least in part on the UAC check. Numerous other aspects are described.

Claims (64)

1. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

a memory; and

one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to:

receive, from a user, input associated with a call request; and

select a first subscription, of at least two subscriptions associated with the UE, automatically based at least in part on at least one parameter associated with a unified access control (UAC) check for the call request.

2. The UE of claim 1 , wherein each subscription of the at least two subscriptions is associated with a corresponding subscriber identity module (SIM).

3. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the first subscription is selected based at least in part on corresponding barring factors associated with each subscription of the at least two subscriptions, corresponding barring times associated with each subscription of the at least two subscriptions, or a combination thereof.

4. The UE of claim 3 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

receive, for each subscription of the at least two subscriptions, corresponding barring information that includes the corresponding barring factor and the corresponding barring time.

5. The UE of claim 3 , wherein the first subscription is selected based at least in part on the first subscription being associated with a smallest of the corresponding barring factors or being associated with a smallest of the corresponding barring times.

6. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the first subscription is selected based at least in part on determining that the call request is barred on a cell associated with a second subscription of the at least two subscriptions, and wherein the call request is determined to be barred based at least in part on the UAC check.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

display, on a screen of the UE, an indication that the call request is barred on the cell associated with the second subscription.

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the first subscription is selected automatically in response to determining that the call request is barred on the cell associated with the second subscription.

9. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

transmit, on a cell associated with the first subscription, the call request.

10. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the first subscription is selected automatically in response to determining that expiry of a timer corresponding to the first subscription is earlier than expiry of a timer corresponding to a second subscription.

11. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

a memory; and

one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to:

receive, from a user, input associated with a call request;

display, on a screen of the UE, an indication that the call request is barred based at least in part on a unified access control (UAC) check, wherein the indication further includes an amount of time associated with the call request being barred, and wherein the amount of time is based at least in part on the UAC check; and

prevent input from the user that would trigger the call request while the call request is barred.

12. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

receive corresponding barring information that includes at least one variable associated with the amount of time.

13. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the screen further displays an indication that emergency calls are allowed.

14. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

receive, from the user and after the call request is no longer barred, input that triggers the call request; and

transmit, on a cell associated with the UAC check, the call request.

15. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

receive, from the user, input that triggers the call request; and

select one of at least two subscriptions, associated with the UE, based at least in part on the UAC check.

16. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

perform an additional UAC check; and

transmit, based at least in part on the additional UAC check, the call request.

17. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

receiving, from a user, input associated with a call request; and

selecting a first subscription, of at least two subscriptions associated with the UE, automatically based at least in part on at least on parameter associated with a unified access control (UAC) check for the call request.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the first subscription is selected based at least in part on corresponding barring factors associated with each subscription of the at least two subscriptions, corresponding barring times associated with each subscription of the at least two subscriptions, or a combination thereof.

19. The method of claim 18 , further comprising:

receiving, for each subscription of the at least two subscriptions, corresponding barring information that includes the corresponding barring factor and the corresponding barring time.

20. The method of claim 18 , wherein the first subscription is selected based at least in part on the first subscription being associated with a smallest of the corresponding barring factors or being associated with a smallest of the corresponding barring times.

21. The method of claim 17 , wherein the first subscription is selected based at least in part on determining that the call request is barred on a cell associated with a second subscription of the at least two subscriptions, and wherein the call request is determined to be barred based at least in part on the UAC check.

22. The method of claim 21 , further comprising:

displaying, on a screen of the UE, an indication that the call request is barred on the cell associated with the second subscription.

23. The method of claim 21 , wherein the first subscription is selected automatically in response to determining that the call request is barred on the cell associated with the second subscription.

24. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

transmitting, on a cell associated with the first subscription, the call request.

25. The method of claim 17 , wherein each subscription of the at least two subscriptions is associated with a corresponding subscriber identity module (SIM).

26. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

receiving, from a user, input associated with a call request; and

displaying, on a screen of the UE, an indication that the call request is barred based at least in part on a unified access control (UAC) check, wherein the indication further includes an amount of time associated with the call request being barred, and wherein the amount of time is based at least in part on the UAC check; and

preventing input from the user that would trigger the call request while the call request is barred.

27. The method of claim 26 , further comprising:

receiving corresponding barring information that includes at least one variable associated with the amount of time.

28. The method of claim 26 , further comprising:

receiving, from the user and after the call request is no longer barred, input that triggers the call request; and

transmitting, on a cell associated with the UAC check, the call request.

29. The method of claim 26 , further comprising:

receiving, from the user, input that triggers the call request; and

selecting one of at least two subscriptions, associated with the UE, based at least in part on the UAC check.

30. The method of claim 26 , further comprising:

performing an additional UAC check; and

transmitting, based at least in part on the additional UAC check, the call request.
