1. An apparatus comprising:
processing circuitry; and
memory storing instructions that when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to perform operations comprising:
determining a first identifier associated with a first universal subscriber identity module (USIM) of a user equipment (UE) for use on a first wireless communications network;
determining, based on the first identifier, one or more first time slots for monitoring the first wireless communication network for first data directed to the UE;
determining a second identifier associated with a second USIM of the UE for use on a second wireless communications network, wherein one of the first wireless communications network or the second wireless communications network comprises an Evolved Packet System (EPS) and another one of the first wireless communications network or the second wireless communications network comprises a Fifth Generation System (5GS);
determining, based on the second identifier, one or more second time slots for monitoring the second wireless communication network for second data directed to the UE;
determining that the one or more first time slots at least partially overlap the one or more second time slots; and
responsive to determining that the one or more first time slots at least partially overlap the one or more second time slots, generating, for transmission via the second wireless communications network,
a request for a third identifier to be assigned to the UE for use on the second wireless communications network, wherein the third identifier is different from the second identifier.
