1. A method comprising:
aligning, by a communication device, a plurality of paging occasions across at least two identities of the communication device, wherein the at least two identities are subscription identities, wherein the aligning is performed via at least one of the following:
requesting and receiving, by the communication device, from a communication network a paging occasion for the communication device with at least two identities using at least one of the identities, the method further comprising in response to receiving an indication of unavailability of the paging occasion from the communication network, requesting and receiving the paging occasion using a different one of the at least two identities; or
requesting and receiving, by the communication device, from the communication network a reallocation of a paging offset using at least one of the identities;
determining, by the communication device, a target level of alignment of the paging occasions; and
if a current level of alignment fails to meet the target level of alignment, requesting a new paging occasion for the communication device.
