Any combination of the following related technologies and the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application belongs to the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.

[0039] UE State

[0040] For the purpose of reducing the air interface signaling and quickly restoring the radio connection and quickly restoring the data service in 5G, a new Radio Resource Control (RRC) state, namely the RRC Inactive (RRC_INACTIVE) state, is defined. This state is different from the RRC Idle (RRC_IDLE) state and the RRC Active (RRC_ACTIVE) state. Among them,

[0041] 1) RRC_IDLE state (abbreviated as idle state): The mobility is based on UE cell selection and reselection. Paging is initiated by the Core Network (CN), and the paging area is configured by the CN. There is no UE context on the base station side, and there is no RRC connection.

[0042] 2) RRC_CONNECTED state (abbreviated as connected state): There is an RRC connection, and there is a UE context on both the base station side and the UE side. The network side knows the location of the UE at the specific cell level. The mobility is network-side controlled mobility. Unicast data can be transmitted between the UE and the base station.

[0043] 3) RRC_INACTIVE state (abbreviated as inactive state): The mobility is based on UE cell selection and reselection. There is a connection between the CN and NR. The UE context exists on a certain base station. Paging is triggered by the RAN, and the RAN-based paging area is managed by the RAN. The network side knows the location of the UE at the RAN-based paging area level.

[0044] Dual-SIM terminal device

[0045] Dual-SIM dual-standby means that a terminal device can hold two subscriber identity modules (SIM cards) simultaneously, and both SIM cards are in the standby state. In the market, dual-SIM dual-standby generally refers to dual-SIM dual-standby of the same network mode, such as GSM network dual-SIM dual-standby or CDMA network dual-SIM dual-standby, etc. Dual-network dual-standby means that a terminal device can insert two subscriber identity modules of different networks simultaneously and keep them both powered on. The user can make, answer, and send and receive text messages without switching networks.

[0046] Currently, the capabilities of terminal devices generally do not support pure dual communication. Dual communication refers to Dual UL / DL, that is, the UE simultaneously transmits uplink data services and downlink data services on two networks through two subscriber identity modules. Generally speaking, most current terminal devices only support Single UL / DL or Single UL / Dual DL, which means that the UE can only perform services on one subscriber identity module at a certain moment.

[0047] In 5G, one of the two SIM cards in a dual-SIM device can camp on an LTE cell, and the other can camp on an NR cell, or both SIM cards can camp on NR cells. On the other hand, the two SIM cards can belong to the same operator or different operators.

[0048] Although current terminal devices do not support dual-communication, achieving dual-communication is a trend in the development of future terminal devices. However, implementing dual-communication in a terminal device will pose problems regarding resource sharing and allocation between two subscriber identity cards, and there will also be coexistence interference within the device due to the simultaneous transmission of uplink signals. Therefore, the following technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are proposed.

[0049] Figure 2 Schematic flow of the resource coordination method provided for the embodiments of this application Figure 1 , as Figure 2 shown, the resource coordination method includes the following steps:

[0050] Step 201: The terminal device sends a first request message to the network device connected to the first subscriber identity card. The first request message is used to request the network device to configure or reserve the first resource. The terminal device has the first subscriber identity card and the second subscriber identity card.

[0051] In the embodiments of this application, the terminal device can be any device capable of communicating with the network, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook, a vehicle-mounted terminal, a wearable device, etc.

[0052] In the embodiments of this application, the terminal device supports dual standby with two SIM cards. Specifically, the terminal device can insert two subscriber identity cards, namely the first subscriber identity card and the second subscriber identity card. Among them, the networks that the first subscriber identity card and the second subscriber identity card can camp on can be of the same type or different types. For example, the first subscriber identity card can camp on an LTE cell, the second subscriber identity card can camp on an NR cell, or both subscriber identity cards can camp on an NR cell.

[0053] In the embodiments of this application, the first subscriber identity card and the second subscriber identity card can both be Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) cards, or both be Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) cards, or one is a SIM card and the other is a USIM card. The embodiments of this application do not limit the types of the first subscriber identity card and the second subscriber identity card.

[0054] It should be noted that the solutions described in the embodiments of this application take dual SIM cards as an example. This application is not limited to this, and the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are also applicable to the case of multiple SIM cards in the future. For example: The terminal device can insert three subscriber identity module (SIM) cards, namely the first SIM card, the second SIM card, and the third SIM card.

[0055] In the embodiments of this application, the terminal device supports the communication ability of dual transmit and dual receive, that is, the first SIM card and the second SIM card can independently transmit uplink and downlink signals.

[0056] In the embodiments of this application, the first SIM card is in a connected state, and the second SIM card is in an idle state or a non-activated state or a connected state.

[0057] For example: There are two Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) cards in the terminal device, namely USIM A and USIM B. Among them, USIM A is in a connected state, and USIM B is in an idle state or a non-activated state or a connected state.

[0058] In the embodiments of this application, the terminal device sends a first request message to the network device connected to the first SIM card, which is specifically implemented in the following way: The terminal device sends the first request message to the base station connected to the first SIM card through the first SIM card. Here, the first request message is used to request the network device to configure or reserve the first resource. The different implementations of the first resource are described below.

[0059] ● The first resource is the first measurement interval

[0060] After the terminal device sends the first request message to the network device connected to the first SIM card, the terminal device receives the configuration information of the first measurement interval mode sent by the network device, and determines the first measurement interval based on the configuration information of the first measurement interval mode. The first measurement interval is used for the terminal device to perform radio resource management (RRM) measurements and paging reception in the cell where the second SIM card is located.

[0061] For example: The terminal device sends a first request message to the base station connected to USIM A. The first request message is used to request the base station to configure the first measurement interval mode. The configuration information of the first measurement interval mode includes at least one of the following: the period of the first measurement interval, the duration of the first measurement interval, and the offset of the first measurement interval. The terminal device can perform RRM measurements and paging reception in the cell where USIM B is located within the first measurement interval.

[0062] ● The first resource is at least one frequency band or frequency band group

[0063] Here, the first request message carries first indication information for indicating the at least one frequency band or frequency band group.

[0064] Further, optionally, when the network device uses the at least one frequency band or frequency band group, the terminal device receives an RRC reconfiguration message sent by the network device, and the RRC reconfiguration message is used for the terminal device to release the use of the at least one frequency band or frequency band group.

[0065] For example: The terminal device sends a first request message to the base station connected to USIM A, and the first request message carries first indication information for indicating at least one frequency band or frequency band group. After receiving the first indication information, it means that this base station can no longer use the at least one frequency band or frequency band group. If the base station is using the at least one frequency band or frequency band group, the base station needs to configure the terminal device through an RRC reconfiguration message to release the use of the at least one frequency band or frequency band group.

[0066] It should be noted that the network device refers to the base station connected to the first user identity card, and the first resource negotiated by the terminal device and the base station is for the second user identity card.

[0067] In an alternative embodiment, when the cell where the first user identity card is located is switched from the first cell to the second cell, the terminal device sends the first request message to the first cell, and the first request message is forwarded by the first cell to the second cell.

[0068] For example: If the cell where USIM A is located undergoes a handover (i.e., a change), the original cell of the handover (i.e., the first cell) sends the first request message of the terminal device to the target cell of the handover (i.e., the second cell), and the target cell configures or reserves the first resource according to the first request message.

[0069] In an alternative embodiment, when the cell where the second user identity card is located is switched from the first cell to the second cell, the terminal device re - sends the first request message to the network device connected to the first user identity card.

[0070] For example: If the cell where USIM B is located undergoes a handover (i.e., a change), it triggers the terminal device to re - initiate the resource request process (i.e., the terminal device sends a first request message to the base station connected to USIM A).

[0071] Further, in an optional embodiment, if the terminal device does not receive the first response message sent by the network device for the first request message before the first time, the terminal device uses the first resource for the second subscriber identity module. Here, the first time can be determined in any of the following ways:

[0072] Way 1: The first time is determined based on a first timer

[0073] After the terminal device sends a first request message to the network device connected to the first subscriber identity module, the first timer is started; if the terminal device does not receive the first response message sent by the network device for the first request message before the first timer times out, the terminal device uses the first resource for the second subscriber identity module.

[0074] Way 2: The first time is determined based on first time information, and the first time information is used to indicate at least one of the following: radio frame number, subframe number, time slot number

[0075] If the terminal device does not receive the first response message sent by the network device for the first request message before the first time determined by the first time information, the terminal device uses the first resource for the second subscriber identity module.

[0076] Figure 3 Schematic flow of the resource coordination method provided by the embodiments of the present application Figure 2 , such as Figure 3 shown, the resource coordination method includes the following steps:

[0077] Step 301: The terminal device sends a second request message to the network device connected to the first subscriber identity module, and the second request message is used to request the network device to reduce the terminal device capabilities for the terminal device.

[0078] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device may be any device capable of communicating with the network, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook, a vehicle-mounted terminal device, a wearable device, etc.

[0079] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device supports dual SIM dual standby. Specifically, the terminal device can insert two subscriber identity modules, namely the first subscriber identity module and the second subscriber identity module. Among them, the networks that the first subscriber identity module and the second subscriber identity module can camp on can be the same type of network or different types of networks. For example, the first subscriber identity module can camp on an LTE cell, the second subscriber identity module can camp on an NR cell, or both subscriber identity modules can camp on an NR cell.

[0080] In the embodiments of the present application, the first user identity card and the second user identity card may both be SIM cards, or both be USIM cards, or one is a SIM card and the other is a USIM card. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the types of the first user identity card and the second user identity card.

[0081] It should be noted that the solutions described in the embodiments of the present application take the dual-card as an example, and the present application is not limited thereto. The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are also applicable to the future multi-card situation. For example: The terminal device may insert three user identity cards, namely the first user identity card, the second user identity card, and the third user identity card.

[0082] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device supports the communication ability of dual transmission and dual reception, that is, the first user identity card and the second user identity card can independently transmit uplink and downlink signals.

[0083] In the embodiments of the present application, the first user identity card is in a connected state, and the second user identity card is in an idle state or a non-activated state or a connected state.

[0084] For example: There are two USIM cards in the terminal device, namely USIM A and USIM B. Among them, USIM A is in a connected state, and USIM B is in an idle state or a non-activated state or a connected state.

[0085] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device hopes that the base station connected to the first user identity card reduces the terminal device capability, and sends a second request message to the base station, where the second request message carries second indication information, and the second indication information is used to indicate the terminal device capability information after the reduction of the terminal device or the maximum terminal device capability information of the terminal device under the network device.

[0086] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device can report the second indication information to the network device in any of the following ways.

[0087] Method 1: The terminal device sends third indication information to the network device, and the third indication information is used to trigger the network device to initiate a terminal device capability request process; the terminal device receives a third request message sent by the network device, and the third request message is used to request the terminal device to report terminal device capability information; the terminal device sends the reduced terminal device capability information or the maximum terminal device capability information of the terminal device under the network device to the network device in the second indication information.

[0088] Method 2: The terminal device sends the reduced terminal device capability information or the maximum terminal device capability information of the terminal device under the network device to the network device in the second indication information.
