  • Such multi-radio multi- SIM UEs can contemporaneously transmit on multiple frequencies. Thus, fre quency multiplexing is possible.
  • Various techniques are based on the finding that contemporaneous transmitting and/or receiving (communicating) on multiple frequencies can suffer from inter frequency interference. For example, higher-order harmonics of a first frequency may be excited at a significant power spectral density by an analog front end and can then interfere with a second frequency used for communicating with a second network. Further, side lobes of a frequency band can also be excited at a signifi cant power spectral density and may, again, interfere with a second frequency used for communicating with a second network. Then, such inter-frequency inter ference can cause conflicts between the communication towards the first and second networks.
  • Such conflicts due to inter-frequency interference are mitigated by the techniques described herein.
  • the multi-radio multi-SIM UE communicates with a first network on one or more first frequencies
  • conflicts between the communication with the first network and the communication with the second network are mitigated.
  • Such prioritization of the at least one preferred frequency can be implemented by logic that is centric at the multi-radio multi-SIM UE. For example, often multiple communication networks are not aware and cannot control the frequency of an other network. Thus, according to the techniques described herein, if multiple frequencies (or more specifically multiple frequency bands) are available for com municating with the second network, it is possible to prioritize, at the multi-radio multi-SIM UE, the at least one preferred frequency so as to minimize the inter frequency interference between the signals communicated between the multi-ra dio multi-SIM UE and the first network and the second network.

  • the multi radio multi-SIM UE could be in connected mode towards the first network.
  • a data connection may be set up between the UE and the first network and UL data and/or DL data may be communicated along this data connection.
  • the UE may prioritize the at least one preferred frequency from the one or more second frequencies that are in principle available for communication with the second net work.

  • three scenarios are conceivable: In the first scenario, the communication towards the first network is not adapted by prioritizing the at least one further preferred frequency in view of the inter-frequency interference and the prioritizing is with respect to the at least one preferred frequency of the one or more second frequencies for communica tion with the second network, only.
  • a hierarchy between communicating between the multi-radio multi-SIM UE and the first network and the communi cating between the multi-radio multi-SIM UE and the second network exists.
  • the communication between the multi-radio multi-SIM UE and the second network has to adapt to certain constraints imposed by the inter-frequency interference from the one or more first frequencies used for communicating between the multi radio multi-SIM UE and the first network.
  • a second scenario pertains to the in verted situation: here, the prioritization is implemented with respect to the at least one further preferred frequency of the one or more first frequencies, but not with respect to the one or more second frequencies. Also in this second scenario there is a hierarchy between communicating with the first network and the second net work. The third scenario does not rely on such a hierarchy.
  • the communication between the multi-radio multi-SIM UE and, both, the first network, as well as the second network is af fected by the inter-frequency interference mitigation.
  • interfer ence mitigation can be more powerful, because it is possible to adjust two de grees of freedom (i.e. , the communication frequency towards a first network, as well as the communication frequency towards the second network).
