TECHNIQUES FOR ENHANCING PAGE SHARING USING A CHANNEL QUALITY-BASED MERGE CONDITION FOR DUAL-SUBSCRIPTION DEVICES

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE), such as a dual-subscription UE, support a first subscription and a second subscription. The first subscription may be in an active mode with a first cell and the second subscription may be in an idle mode with a second cell, and the UE may determine whether to exit or postpone entrance into a merged state in which the UE may perform idle mode measurements for the second subscription using the first subscription and the first cell based on a channel quality-based merge condition. For example, the UE may measure a channel quality associated with a communication link between the UE and the first cell and, in examples in which the measured channel quality fails to satisfy a threshold channel quality, the UE may exit or postpone entrance into the merged state.
