Abstract
A method, device, and system provide efficient way for handling LTE cells for suspending data suspending data in a carrier aggregation plus multiSIM scenario. The technique includes receiving communications corresponding to the first subscription at a user equipment over a primary cell and a secondary cell; calculating, prior to a tune away period, a first data throughput rate of the primary cell and a second data throughput rate of a secondary cell; sending at least one event measurement report if the second data throughput rate is higher than the first data throughput rate; receiving a handover command from a network node to interchange the primary cell and the secondary cell; and switching, in response to receiving the handover command, the primary cell and the secondary cell such that the primary cell becomes the secondary cell and the secondary cell becomes the primary cell for first subscription traffic.
