PAGING PERFORMANCE DURING INTER-FREQUENCY CELL RESELECTION SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK READS

A page reception method for the multi-subscriber identity module (SIM) mobile communication device includes: determining whether one or more upcoming system information block (SIB) system frame numbers (SFNs) will overlap with a PICH occasion on a paging indicator channel (PICH) for a subscription; in response to determining that the one or more upcoming SIB SFNs will overlap with the PICH occasion, identifying a repetition period of the one or more upcoming SIB SFNs; determining whether the repetition period of the one or more upcoming SIB SFNs is not less than a discontinuous reception receive (DRx) cycle for the PICH occasion; and in response to determining that the repetition period of the one or more upcoming SIB SFNs is not less than the discontinuous reception cycle for the PICH occasion, preventing decoding of the one or more upcoming SIB SFNs that overlap with the PICH occasion.
