Abstract

A wireless communication apparatus for a wireless communication system is described in one example comprising a receiver to receive communication signals, one or more processor to determine, based on the communication signals, that at least two SIM cards are located in one and the same wireless communication device of the wireless communication system, and the one or more processor further to coordinate requests for the at least two SIM cards that are located in the wireless communication device. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Claims

1. An apparatus of a wireless communication system, comprising:

a receiver to receive a plurality of measurement reports from a plurality of wireless communication devices of the wireless communication system;

wherein one or more wireless devices comprises a first subscriber identity module (SIM) and a second SIM;

one or more processors; and

a memory to store recorded instructions thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, make the one or more processors;

scan the plurality of measurement reports to identify a first set of reports pertaining to the first SIM that are of a same type; and

check the first set of reports to identify a second set of reports pertaining to the second SIM that are within a time separation less than a pre-defined threshold.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are further made to correlate the second set of reports that are identified to be within the time separation that is less than the pre-defined threshold.

3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the one or more processors are further made to correct the correlation of the second set of reports through monitoring parameters with thresholds.

4. An apparatus for improving performance of wireless communications, comprising:

a receiving circuit to receive a plurality of measurement reports from a plurality of wireless communication devices of a wireless communication system;

a processing circuit configured to;

scan the plurality of measurement reports to identify a first set of reports that are of a same type;

check the first set of reports to identify a second set of reports that are within a time separation less than a pre-defined threshold;

determine validity of correlated measurement reports of the plurality of measurement reports; and

correct one or more correlated measurement reports of the plurality of measurement reports determined to be invalid.

5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the processing circuit further to monitor parameters with thresholds to determine whether the correlated measurement reports of the plurality of measurement reports are valid.

6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the parameters include packet errors.

7. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the parameters include handover failures.

8. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the correlated measurement reports comprise location update reports, channel station information reports, or radio resource control reports.

9. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the processing circuit further to update information of the correlated measurement reports that is stored on a memory of the apparatus with the corrected correlated measurement reports.
