Abstract
The disclosure relates to supporting multiple logical interfaces over a single physical interface, in particular relating to supporting multiple profiles on eSIMs/eUICCs. Example embodiments include an electronic device comprising: an integrated circuit, IC, card domain configured to store a plurality of SIM profiles; and a communication domain coupled to the IC card domain via a physical interface, wherein the communication domain comprises a communication domain interface configured to receive an application command packet, identify one of the plurality of SIM profiles, encapsulate the application command packet with an interface identifier associated with the one of the plurality of SIM profiles in a transport packet and send the transport packet to the IC card domain over the physical interface, and wherein the IC card domain comprises an operating system configured to receive the transport packet, extract the application command packet, send the application command packet to the identified one of the plurality of SIM profiles, receive a response from the identified SIM profile and send the response to the communication domain over the physical interface.
