Method and UE for identifying optimal number of paths between RFIC and plurality of SIMS

A method for determining a number of paths between a Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC) and a plurality of Subscriber Identity Modules (SIMS) of a User Equipment (UE), the plurality of SIMS including a primary SIM and a secondary SIM, the method including detecting, by the UE, at least one event associated with the secondary SIM, determining, by the UE, a tune away duration associated with the primary SIM based on the at least one event associated with the secondary SIM, determining, by the UE, an amount of resource loss by the primary SIM and a data throughput reduction of the primary SIM based on the tune away duration, and determining, by the UE, the number of paths between the RFIC and the plurality of SIMS based on the amount of resource loss by the primary SIM and the data throughput reduction of the primary SIM.
