A patent for a claimed invention may not be obtained, notwithstanding that the claimed invention is not identically disclosed as set forth in section 102, if the differences between the claimed invention and the prior art are such that the claimed invention as a whole would have been obvious before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the claimed invention pertains. Patentability shall not be negated by the manner in which the invention was made.
Claim 1, 3, 5-6, 13-14, and 18-20 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Susitaival et al. (Susitaival hereinafter) (US 20170181172 A1) in view of Chen et al. (Chen hereinafter) (US 20180368099 A1).
Regarding claim 1 and claim 18, Susitaival teaches, An information reporting method, performed by a terminal device, wherein the terminal device comprises multiple modules (Susitaival; The wireless device 16 also includes multiple radio transceivers 26, Par. 0113), and the method comprises:

The value of a particular bit indicates whether or not there is an IDC problem for the corresponding combination (e.g., “1” indicates an IDC problem and “0” indicates no IDC problem), Par. 0111); or
which modules of the terminal device have no uplink radio frequency that can be used for carrier aggregation (CA) or dual connectivity (DC) or a current module has no uplink radio frequency that can be used for CA or DC (Susitaival; “1” indicates an IDC problem, Par. 0111 [Note that all “1” in bit map indicates no UL band available for CA]).
Although Susitaival teaches multiple radio transceivers, but failed explicitly teach,
multiple subscriber identity modules (SIMs).
However, in the same field of endeavor, Chen teaches
multiple subscriber identity modules (SIMs) (Chen; wireless devices that include two transceivers and two SIM cards, referred to as Dual SIM Dual Active (DSDA), Par. 0064).
Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the invention to incorporate the teachings of Susitaival to include the use of dual SIM as taught by Chen in order to actively transmit or receive at the same time (Chen; Par. 0064).
Specifically for claim 18, Susitaival teaches, A terminal device, comprising: a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein when the computer program is executed by the processor, the following steps are implemented (Susitaival; The UE, Par. 0110).

The one or more actions may be, for example, one or more actions to avoid the IDC problem(s), Par. 0111);
wherein the first information comprises at least one of the following:
a number of available uplink radio frequencies of the terminal device;
a number of available uplink radio frequency links of the terminal device (Susitaival; the at least one indicator is a bit map that includes a separate bit for each combination indicated in the capability information sent to the eNB(s) 14 in step 400. The value of a particular bit indicates whether or not there is an IDC problem for the corresponding combination (e.g., “1” indicates an IDC problem and “0” indicates no IDC problem), Par. 0111); or
which module(s) of the terminal device have no uplink radio frequency that can be used for CA or DC or a current module has no uplink radio frequency that can be used for CA or DC (Susitaival; “1” indicates an IDC problem, Par. 0111 [Note that all “1” in bit map indicates no UL band available for CA]).
Although Susitaival teaches multiple radio transceivers, but failed explicitly teach,
multiple subscriber identity modules (SIMs).
However, in the same field of endeavor, Chen teaches
multiple subscriber identity modules (SIMs) (Chen; wireless devices that include two transceivers and two SIM cards, referred to as Dual SIM Dual Active (DSDA), Par. 0064).
Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the invention to incorporate the teachings of Susitaival to include the use of dual SIM as taught by Chen in order to actively transmit or receive at the same time (Chen; Par. 0064).
Specifically for claim 20, Susitaival teaches, A network device, comprising: a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, where when the computer program is executed by the processor, steps of the method according to claim 13 are implemented (Susitaival; the eNB(s), Par. 0111).

if a second SIM receives a paging message from the network device, reporting, by the first SIM, the first information to the network device;
if a second SIM receives a paging message from the network device, reporting, by the second SIM, the first information to the network device; and
before the first SIM initiates a network connection, reporting, by the second SIM, the first information to the network device.
Regarding claim 6, Susitaival- Chen teaches, The method according to claim 1, wherein the reporting first information to a network device comprises:
sending a radio resource control (RRC) message to the network device, wherein the RRC message carries the first information;
wherein the message comprises at least one of the following:

The preferred access technology, with or without specifying a reason, such as reducing thermal level and/or RF interference ... the UE device can specify the preferred network, e.g., for WLAN, Par. 0048-0049).
Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the invention to incorporate the teachings of Susitaival- Chen to include the use of preference as taught by Plestid in order to prioritize access technology (Plestid; Par. 0050).
Claim 7-8 and 15-17 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Susitaival- Chen and in further view of Takahashi et al. (Takahashi hereinafter) (US 20210092662 A1).
Regarding claim 7, Susitaival- Chen teaches, The method according to claim 1,

multiple SIMs (Chen; wireless devices that include two transceivers and two SIM cards, referred to as Dual SIM Dual Active (DSDA), Par. 0064).
Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the invention to incorporate the teachings of Susitaival to include the use of dual SIM as taught by Chen in order to actively transmit or receive at the same time (Chen; Par. 0064).
Susitaival- Chen failed explicitly teach,
