Abstract
A communication apparatus has at least one radio transceiver module, a first subscriber identity card and a second subscriber identity card, where the first subscriber identity card corresponds to a first public land mobile network (PLMN), and the second subscriber identity card corresponds to a second PLMN. The communication apparatus includes processor logic determining whether the first PLMN and the second PLMN are the same, and for suspending a measurement procedure and a cell reselection procedure of one of the first subscriber identity card and the second subscriber identity card to reduce battery power consumption. Processor logic further triggers an unsuspended measurement procedure to tune the radio transceiver module to a plurality of corresponding channel frequency/frequencies of the neighbor cells.
