14. A method comprising:
allocating, in an apparatus comprising at least a first subscriber identity module (SIM) associated with a first network and a second SIM associated with the first or a second network, wherein the first SIM is configured to operate in an idle or an inactive mode of a radio resource control protocol (RRC) while the second SIM configured to operate in a connected mode of the RRC and vice versa, a radio transceiver of the apparatus for a communication of the first SIM and the second SIM for alternative active periods, wherein the first SIM is configured to at least monitor paging messages during its active periods and the second SIM is configured to at least perform beam management operations during its active periods;
monitoring a number of scheduled beam management operations of the second SIM actually skipped during the active periods of the radio transceiver allocated for the first SIM;
determining, based on at least data from the performed beam management operations, a threshold value for the skipped beam management operations; and
adjusting, in response to the number of the skipped beam management operations reaching the threshold value, allocation of the active periods of the radio transceiver between the first SIM and the second SIM.
