[0025] In the scheme, the preset network comprises a 5G network.

[0026] According to a second aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a device for preset network registration is provided, and the device comprises:

[0052] In this embodiment, when the UE's second SIM card preempts resources during the B1 event measurement of a preset network using the UE's first SIM card, resources are first transferred to the second SIM card to trigger the resource preemption event. Then, after the second SIM card completes the trigger event, the first SIM card is used to re-perform the B1 event measurement of the preset network. This significantly reduces the probability of interruption during the re-performance of the B1 event measurement, increasing the success rate of the first SIM card performing the B1 event measurement, and consequently improving the success rate of the UE registering to the preset network using the first SIM card.

[0063] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0064] Regarding the apparatus in the above embodiments, the specific manner in which each module performs its operation has been described in detail in the embodiments related to the method, and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for pre-registering on a network is provided, the method comprising the following steps:

[0066] Step S11: In response to the fact that the UE's second SIM card preempts resources when the UE's first user identification SIM card is performing B1 event measurement of a preset network, stop the B1 event measurement of the first SIM card;

[0067] Step S12: Transfer the resources to the second SIM card to trigger a resource preemption event;

[0068] Step S13: After the trigger event is executed using the second SIM card, the B1 event measurement of the preset network is re-performed using the first SIM card.

[0069] The method described in this embodiment is applied to a user equipment; the user equipment may be a mobile phone, computer, server, transceiver, tablet device, medical device, or wearable device, etc.

[0070] The methods described in this disclosure can be applied to various application scenarios where user equipment needs to register with a preset network. For example, when a mobile phone turns airplane mode on and off, the primary SIM card needs to register with the 5G network, while the secondary SIM card competes for resources to update its location. Another example is when the UE capability information of the primary and secondary SIM cards is updated; the primary SIM card changes from supporting NR to not supporting NR, and the secondary SIM card changes from not supporting NR to supporting NR; in this case, the secondary SIM card needs to register with the 5G network.

[0071] The default network here can be a 3G network, a 4G network, a 5G network, or other evolved networks.

[0072] In one embodiment, the preset network is a 5G network. Thus, in this example, the UE can switch to the 5G network using the first SIM card.

[0073] The resources here are radio frequency (RF) resources; for example, the resources described are time-frequency domain resources.

[0074] The first SIM card and the second SIM card here can be one or more.

[0075] In one embodiment, the first SIM card is the primary SIM card of the user equipment, and the second SIM card is the secondary SIM card of the user equipment. In another embodiment, the first SIM card is the secondary SIM card of the user equipment, and the second SIM card is the primary SIM card of the user equipment.

[0076] The B1 event here can be an event where a neighboring cell from a different system is higher than the serving cell.

[0077] In one embodiment, the B1 event is a B1 New Radio (NR) event. Thus, in this example, the B1 NR event can be measured using the UE's first SIM card to determine whether the UE's first SIM card has switched to the corresponding 5G network.

[0078] The triggering events here include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0079] Location update, send attach request and send tracking area update request.

[0080] In some embodiments, the step of transferring the resources to the second SIM card to trigger a resource preemption event includes at least one of the following:

[0081] The resources are then transferred to the second SIM card for location updates.

[0082] Transfer the resources to the second SIM card and send an attach request;

[0083] The resources are transferred to the second SIM card to send a tracking area update request.

[0084] For example, in one application scenario, the UE's first SIM card needs to register with the 5G network and perform B1 event measurements. Simultaneously, the UE's second SIM card preempts resources for location updates, such as sending location update requests to network entities. In this case, the UE will stop the B1 event measurements of the first SIM card and relinquish the resources to the second SIM card for location update operations such as sending location update requests.

[0085] For example, in another application scenario, the UE's first SIM card needs to register with the 5G network and perform B1 event measurement; simultaneously, the UE's second SIM card preempts resources to send an attach request. In this case, the UE will stop the B1 event measurement of the first SIM card and transfer the resources to the second SIM card to send the attach request.

[0086] For example, in another application scenario, the UE's first SIM card needs to register with the 5G network and perform B1 event measurements on the 5G network; simultaneously, the UE's second SIM card preempts resources to send a tracking area update request. In this case, the UE will stop the B1 event measurement of the first SIM card and transfer the resources to the second SIM card to send the tracking area update request.

[0087] In this way, resources are first transferred to the second SIM card to execute the trigger event. After the second SIM card executes the trigger event, the first SIM card will then re-execute the B1 event measurement without being interrupted by the trigger event that preempts the resources executed by the second SIM card.

[0088] In this embodiment, when the UE's second SIM card preempts resources during the B1 event measurement of a preset network using the UE's first SIM card, resources are first transferred to the second SIM card to trigger the resource preemption event. Then, after the second SIM card completes the trigger event, the first SIM card is used to re-perform the B1 event measurement of the preset network. This significantly reduces the probability of interruption during the re-performance of the B1 event measurement, increasing the success rate of the first SIM card performing the B1 event measurement, and consequently improving the success rate of the UE registering to the preset network using the first SIM card.

[0089] For example, when a phone goes through a process of turning airplane mode on and off, if the phone's primary SIM card is performing a B1 event measurement for the 5G network and the secondary SIM card successfully preempts the resources to perform a location update, the phone will relinquish the resources to the secondary SIM card to perform the location update first. After the secondary SIM card finishes its location update, the phone will remeasure the B1 event using the primary SIM card, thereby enabling the phone to register with the 5G network using the primary SIM card.

[0090] In some embodiments, the priority of the triggering event consuming resources is higher than the priority of the B1 event measuring the resources consumed.

[0091] For example, in some application scenarios, during the initial setup of the UE, the priority of the B1 event measurement resource consumption may be set to be lower than the priority of the trigger event resource consumption.

[0092] In this embodiment, when the first SIM card of the UE performs B1 event measurement on a preset network and its resources are preempted by the second SIM card, the probability that the triggering event can successfully preempt resources is greater than the probability that the B1 event can successfully preempt resources because the priority of the triggering event in occupying resources is higher than that of the B1 event measurement. Therefore, in this embodiment, resources can be first transferred to the triggering event of the second SIM card, and the B1 event measurement can be re-performed after the second SIM card completes its triggering event. This significantly reduces the likelihood of the first SIM card failing to register with the preset network due to the lower success rate of B1 event measurement in preempting resources compared to the triggering event, thus greatly increasing the probability of the first SIM card registering with the preset network.

[0093] Of course, in some embodiments, the priority of the resources occupied by the B1 event measurement can be higher than or equal to the priority of the resources occupied by the triggering event. Thus, in this example, if the second SIM card preempts resources while the first SIM card of the UE is performing B1 event measurement, the probability of the triggering event successfully preempting resources is lower than the probability of the B1 event measurement successfully preempting resources because the priority of the triggering event is lower than or equal to the priority of the B1 event measurement. However, since B1 event measurement is currently in progress, if the priority of the triggering event's resource occupation is the same as the priority of the B1 event's resource occupation, theoretically, the probability of the B1 event measurement successfully occupying resources is greater than the probability of the triggering event successfully preempting resources. In this embodiment, even if the priority of the B1 event measurement resource occupation is higher than or equal to the priority of the triggering event resource occupation, when the UE's first SIM card is performing B1 event measurement on a preset network and the second SIM card preempts the resources, the resources are first transferred to the second SIM card to execute the triggering event that triggers the resource preemption. After the second SIM card completes the triggering event, the resources are then returned to the first SIM card to re-execute the B1 event measurement. This further ensures that the first SIM card can successfully perform B1 event measurement, thereby ensuring that the UE registers with the preset network based on the first SIM card.

[0094] Thus, in this embodiment of the disclosure, it can be ensured that the first SIM card of the UE can re-perform the B1 event measurement without interruption, regardless of whether the priority of the B1 event measurement resource occupancy is greater than or equal to the priority of the triggering event resource occupancy, thereby increasing the probability that the UE can register to the preset network using the first SIM card.

[0095] like Figure 2 In some embodiments, step S13 includes:

[0096] Step S131: After the triggering event is completed using the second SIM card, a tracking area update request carrying the updated UE capability information is sent using the first SIM card;

[0097] Step S132: Receive measurement configuration information for re-measuring the B1 event based on the tracking area update request;

[0098] Step S133: Re-measure the B1 event using the first SIM card based on the measurement configuration information.

[0099] The UE capability information here refers to the UE's radio capability information.

[0100] For example, the UE capability information includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0101] Information on capabilities that support NR or do not support NR;

[0102] Information on whether 4G is supported or not;

[0103] Information on whether 3G capabilities are supported or not;

[0104] Information on whether a network supports a generation higher than 5G or does not support a generation higher than 5G.

[0105] The UE capability updates mentioned here include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0106] The capability was updated from supporting NR to not supporting NR.

[0107] Updated from supporting NR capabilities to supporting NR capabilities;

[0108] The ability to switch from one SIM card supporting NR to another SIM card supporting NR in the UE;

[0109] The capability to support 4G has been updated to the capability to not support 4G.

[0110] It can be updated from having no 4G capability to having 4G capability;

[0111] The capability was changed from supporting 3G to not supporting 3G.

[0112] The capability was updated from not supporting 3G to supporting 3G.

[0113] The capability to support networks one generation higher than 5G has been updated to not support networks one generation higher than 5G.

[0114] The capability to support networks one generation higher than 5G has been updated from not supporting networks one generation higher than 5G to supporting networks one generation higher than 5G.

[0115] In one embodiment, the tracking area update request is a tracking area update request (MSg) signaling.

[0116] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the updated UE capability information can be carried in a specific field in the tracking area update request signaling or in the DCNR field. The specific field can be a field determined based on the communication protocol or a field that has not yet been assigned specific indication content.

[0117] The measurement configuration information here refers to the configuration information required for performing B1 event measurements; for example, the measurement configuration information includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: the preset network for measurement, the cell list, and the reporting method.

[0118] In one embodiment, sending a tracking area update request carrying updated UE capability information using the first SIM card includes:

[0119] The first SIM card is used to send a tracking area update request carrying updated UE capability information to the network-side entity.

[0120] Step S132 includes:

[0121] Receive the measurement configuration information returned by the network-side entity based on the tracking area update request for re-measuring the B1 event.

[0122] The network-side entity here can be an access network entity or a core network entity. For example, the network-side entity can be a mobility management entity in a packet-switched network, or the network-side entity can be a base station or access point equipment, etc. The network-side entity here can be a physical entity or a logical entity.

[0123] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after the UE completes the trigger event using the second SIM card, it can send a tracking area update request carrying updated UE capability information to obtain measurement configuration information for re-measuring the B1 event based on the tracking area update request. This allows the UE to re-execute the B1 event measurement after the second SIM card completes the trigger event, thereby improving the success rate of the UE registering to the preset network using the first SIM card.

[0124] like Figure 3 As shown, in some other embodiments, step S13 includes:

[0125] Step S134: After the triggering event is completed using the second SIM card, an attach request carrying updated UE capability information is sent using the first SIM card;

[0126] Step S135: Receive measurement configuration information for re-measuring the B1 event based on the attachment request;

[0127] Step S136: Re-measure the B1 event using the first SIM card based on the measurement configuration information.

[0128] One of the attached requests is sent as an attached request signaling message (Attach request Msg).

[0129] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the updated UE capability information can be carried in a specific field in the attach request signaling or in the DCNR field, wherein the specific field can be a field determined based on the communication protocol or a field that has not yet been assigned specific indication content.

[0130] In one embodiment, sending an attach request carrying updated UE capability information using the first SIM card includes:

[0131] The first SIM card is used to send an attach request carrying updated UE capability information to the network-side entity.

[0132] Step S135 includes:

[0133] Receive measurement configuration information from the network-side entity to remeasure the B1 event based on the attach request.

[0134] Thus, embodiments of this disclosure can request the network-side entity to remeasure the measurement configuration information of the B1 event based on the attachment request.

[0135] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after the UE completes the trigger event using the second SIM card, it can send an attach request carrying updated UE capability information to obtain measurement configuration information for re-measuring the B1 event based on the attach request. This allows the UE to re-execute the B1 event measurement after the second SIM card completes the trigger event, thereby improving the success rate of the UE registering to the preset network using the first SIM card.

[0136] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, when the measurement configuration information cannot be received because the updated UE capability information is reported based on the tracking area update request, the updated UE capability information can be reported in the form of an attach request to obtain the measurement configuration information for re-measuring the B1 event. This also shortens the waiting time and speeds up the UE's connection to the preset network using the first SIM card.

[0137] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0138] Before sending the attach request, perform the detach operation.

[0139] In this embodiment of the disclosure, a detach request can be sent to the network-side entity before sending an attach request; and an attach request can be sent to the network-side entity after detaching. The detach request here can be a detach request message (Detachrequest Msg).

[0140] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the UE can disconnect from the originally connected network by performing a detach operation; and can reconnect to the preset network by submitting an attach request.

[0141] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0142] If the second SIM card has not completed the triggering event within the predetermined time threshold range, the execution of the triggering event of the second SIM card will stop after the predetermined time threshold is reached, and the B1 event measurement of the preset network will be re-performed using the first SIM card.

[0143] In this embodiment, a predetermined time threshold can be set for the second SIM card to execute the trigger event; within the predetermined time threshold, the second SIM card executes the trigger event; if the predetermined time threshold is reached and the second SIM card has not yet completed executing the trigger event, the UE stops executing the trigger event of the second SIM card, and the UE uses the first SIM card to re-perform the B1 event measurement of the preset network. The cessation of executing the trigger event of the second SIM card can be achieved by the UE prohibiting the transfer of resources to the second SIM card, etc.

[0144] In some application scenarios, a timer can be set in the UE, and the timer's timing period is a predetermined time threshold. During the timing period of the timer, resources are transferred to the second SIM card to execute the trigger time. When the timing period ends, resources are prevented from being transferred to the second SIM card and are transferred to the first SIM card, so that the first SIM card can re-perform the B1 event measurement.

[0145] The predetermined time threshold here can be less than or equal to the first time threshold. For example, the predetermined time threshold can be 3 seconds, 5 seconds, or 6 seconds, etc.

[0146] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the UE can transfer resources to the second SIM card to execute the trigger event within a time threshold. This allows the second SIM card to stop executing the trigger event if it fails to complete the trigger event within the predetermined time threshold. As a result, the first SIM card can quickly utilize resources to re-perform the B1 event measurement, thereby shortening the time it takes for the UE to register with the preset network using the first SIM card.

[0147] In other embodiments, a preset network registration method may further include: in response to the first SIM card preempting resources during B1 event measurement of a preset network by the second SIM card of the UE, stopping the B1 event measurement of the first SIM card; within a predetermined time threshold after the first SIM card stops B1 event measurement, transferring the resources to the second SIM card to execute a trigger event that triggers resource preemption; and after the predetermined time threshold is reached, transferring the resources to the first SIM card to re-perform the B1 event measurement of the preset network. Thus, in this embodiment, the UE can re-perform the B1 event using the first SIM card, improving the success rate of the UE registering to the preset network using the first SIM card, and also shortening the time it takes for the UE to register to the preset network using the first SIM card.

[0148] The following two specific examples are provided in conjunction with any of the above embodiments:

[0149] Example 1

[0150] like Figure 4 An exemplary embodiment is provided to illustrate a method for pre-registering a network; such as Figure 4 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0151] Step S21: In response to the first SIM card of the UE being preempted by the second SIM card of the UE when performing a B1 event of a preset network, stop the measurement of the B1 event of the first SIM card;

[0152] In an optional embodiment, the UE stops measuring the B1 event of the first SIM card when the resources of the second SIM card of the UE are preempted by the first SIM card of the UE performing a B1 event of a preset network.

[0153] Step S22: Transfer the resources to the second SIM card to trigger a resource preemption event;

[0154] In an optional embodiment, the UE transfers the resources to the second SIM card to trigger a resource preemption event; wherein the trigger event includes one of the following: location update, sending an attach request, and sending a tracking area update request.

[0155] Step S23: After the second SIM card completes the triggering event, the attach request is resent using the first SIM card; wherein the attach request carries the updated UE capability information;

[0156] In an optional embodiment, after the second SIM card completes the triggering event, the UE uses the first SIM card to resend the attach request to the network-side entity, wherein the attach request carries updated UE capability information.

[0157] In another alternative embodiment, before retransmitting the attach request using the first SIM card, the method further includes: sending a detach request to the network-side entity using the first SIM card. This allows the UE's first SIM card to disconnect from the network to which it is connected, and then reconnect to the preset network based on the retransmitted attach request from the first SIM card.

[0158] Step S24: Receive measurement configuration information based on the remeasurement B1 event returned by the attachment request;

[0159] In an optional embodiment, the UE receives the measurement configuration information of re-measuring B1 time returned by the network-side entity based on the attach request.

[0160] Step S25: Re-measure the B1 event using the first SIM card based on the measurement configuration information.

[0161] In an optional embodiment, the UE uses the first SIM card to re-perform the B1 event measurement of the preset network based on the measurement configuration information.

[0162] In this embodiment, when the UE's resources are preempted by the second SIM card during a B1 event on the first SIM card in a preset network, the UE first transfers the resources to the second SIM card to execute a trigger event that initiates the resource preemption. Then, after the UE completes the trigger event using the second SIM card, it sends a tracking area update request carrying updated UE capability information to obtain measurement configuration information for re-measuring the B1 event based on the tracking area update request. Thus, this embodiment can re-obtain the measurement configuration information for the B1 event measurement and re-execute the B1 event measurement based on this information, thereby improving the success rate of the UE registering to the preset network using the first SIM card.

[0163] Example 2

[0164] like Figure 5 An exemplary embodiment is provided to illustrate a method for pre-registering a network; such as Figure 5 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0165] Step S31: In response to the first SIM card of the UE preempting resources by the second SIM card of the UE when performing a B1 event of a preset network, stop the B1 event measurement of the first SIM card;

[0166] Step S32: Transfer the resources to the second SIM card to trigger the resource preemption event;

[0167] Steps S31 and S32 in this example are the same as steps S21 and S22 in Example 1 above.

[0168] Step S33: After the second SIM card completes the trigger event, the tracking area update request is resent using the first SIM card; wherein the tracking area update request carries the updated UE capability information;

[0169] In an optional embodiment, after the second SIM card completes the triggering event, the UE uses the first SIM card to resend the tracking area update request to the network-side entity, wherein the tracking area update request carries the updated UE capability information.

[0170] Step S34: Receive measurement configuration information based on the remeasurement B1 event returned by the tracking area update request;

[0171] In an optional embodiment, the UE receives the measurement configuration information of the remeasurement of B1 time returned by the network-side entity based on the tracking area update request.
