Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are presented for acquiring a wireless system by a multi-subscriber identity module (SIM) user equipment (UE). For example, an example method for acquiring a wireless system is presented that includes conducting, by a first subscription corresponding to a first SIM of the UE, a call using a shared radio resource of the UE. In addition, the example method may include predicting, upon completion of the call, a pilot timing error and a frequency error associated with a pilot signal of a network associated with a second subscription corresponding to a second SIM of the UE. In addition, the example method may include attempting to acquire the pilot signal based on the pilot timing error and the frequency error. As such, the example method may allow the multi-SIM UE to more quickly acquire a wireless system relative to legacy methods. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
