Techniques discussed herein can reduce RRC signaling messages, and various aspects can employ one or more of these sets of techniques. A first set of techniques can be employed to reduce RACH (Random Access Channel) requests from an RRC Idle State SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) of a UE in DSDS (Dual SIM Dual Standby) mode. A second set of techniques can be employed to reduce the number of RACH attempts to obtain NotBroadcasted (e.g., On Demand) SI(s) (System Information(s)) by a UE in response to a page message indicating SI modification.
