1. A method for determining a number of paths between a Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC) and a plurality of Subscriber Identity Modules (SIMS) of a User Equipment (UE), the plurality of SIMS including a primary SIM and at least one secondary SIM, the method comprising:
detecting, by the UE, at least one event associated with the at least one secondary SIM;
determining, by the UE, a tune away duration associated with the primary SIM based on the at least one event associated with the at least one secondary SIM;
determining, by the UE, an amount of resource loss by the primary SIM and a data throughput reduction of the primary SIM based on the tune away duration; and
determining, by the UE, the number of the paths between the RFIC and the plurality of SIMS based on the amount of resource loss by the primary SIM and the data throughput reduction of the primary SIM, the paths being included in a free pool of the RFIC of the UE, each of the paths in the free pool being allocatable to any among the plurality of SIMS.
