ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING TRANSMISSION PATH AND RECEPTION PATH AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18465398 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING TRANSMISSION PATH AND RECEPTION PATH AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device with multiple radio frequency front ends (RFFEs) and antennas, controlled by a communication processor to receive and process paging signals for voice calls from a second communication network. The device selects an RF path related to a specific subscriber identity module (SIM) and performs a random access procedure to connect to the second network through that path.

Original Abstract Submitted

An example electronic device may include a radio frequency (RF) circuit including a plurality of radio frequency front ends (RFFEs) and a plurality of antennas connected to the plurality of RFFEs, and at least one communication processor operatively connected to the RF circuit. The at least one communication processor may be configured to control the RF circuit to receive a paging signal from a second communication network in a radio resource control (RRC) idle (RRC_IDLE) state; identify whether the paging signal is a paging signal for a voice call; based on the paging signal being the paging signal for the voice call, select at least one RF path related to a second subscriber identity module (SIM) which satisfies a first condition among a plurality of RF paths supportable by the electronic device; and control the RF circuit to perform a random access procedure to the second communication network through the selected at least one RF path. The second SIM may be for accessing the second communication network, and a first SIM may be for accessing a first communication network.
