Managing Tune-Away Performance During An Ongoing Voice Communication Session

Embodiments include systems and methods for managing a tune-away from a first subscription to a second subscription in a multi-subscription multi-standby communication device during an ongoing voice communication session on the first subscription. A device processor may perform a tune-away from the first subscription to the second subscription. The device processor may determine whether a data transmission over the first subscription was missed during the tune-away. The device processor may calculate a data loss rate in response to determining that a data transmission of the first subscription was missed during the tune-away. The device processor may determine whether the data loss rate is greater than a data loss threshold, and the device processor may block a next tune-away in response to determining that the data loss rate is greater than the data loss threshold. In some embodiments, the first subscription may send a request to create a tune-away gap.
