1. A method, comprising:
at a base station of a first network:
receiving, from a multiple subscriber identity module (MUSIM) device, a registration request, wherein the registration request includes a list of identities associated with the MUSIM device including at least a first identity associated with a first subscriber identity module (SIM) and a second identity associated with a second SIM;
transmitting, to the MUSIM device, an indication of an offset limit to a paging occasion of the first SIM;
receiving, from the MUSIM device, a coordination request to avoid a collision, wherein the coordination request includes a requested offset to the paging occasion of the first SIM, wherein the requested offset is less than the offset limit; and
communicating, with the MUSIM device, according to the coordination request, wherein said communicating avoids the collision.
