[0047] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work, fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

These terms are only used to distinguish one type of information from another type of information. For example, without departing from the scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first information can also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information can also be referred to as the first information. Depending on the context, the word “if” as used herein can be interpreted as “when” or “upon” or “in response to determining”.

[0050] For the purpose of brevity and understanding, the terms "greater than" or "less than", "higher than" or "lower than" are used herein to characterize the size relationship. However, it is understood by those skilled in the art that the term "greater than" also covers the meaning of "greater than or equal to", and the term "less than" also covers the meaning of "less than or equal to"; the term "higher than" covers the meaning of "higher than or equal to", and the term "lower than" covers the meaning of "lower than or equal to".

[0051] Figure 1 is a schematic flow chart illustrating an indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The indication method shown in the embodiment can be applied to a core network which can communicate with a first base station, a second base station, a terminal and the like communication devices.

[0052] The second base station and the first base station include but are not limited to base stations in a communication system such as a 4G base station, a 5G base station, a 6G base station and the like. The terminal includes but is not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, a sensor, an Internet of Things device and the like communication devices.

[0053] In one embodiment, the terminal can be a multi-card terminal, and a plurality of SIM cards can be provided in the terminal. Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be mainly described in the case where a first SIM card and a second SIM card are provided in the terminal.

[0054] As shown in Figure 1 The indication method can include the following steps:

[0055] In step S101, first indication information from a communication device is received, wherein the first indication information is used to indicate that a first SIM card in a multi-card terminal does not respond to a paging.

[0056] In one embodiment, the first base station can page the first SIM card in the terminal, for example, send paging signaling to the terminal in a manner of broadcast, unicast, groupcast and the like. The first SIM card in the terminal can respond to the paging after receiving the paging of the first base station, for example, initiate random access to the first base station, or can not respond to the paging.

[0057] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the communication device determines that the first SIM card in the terminal does not respond to the paging, the communication device can inform the core network through the first indication information that the first SIM card in the terminal does not respond to the paging. Thus, the core network can further inform the first base station which pages the first SIM card, so that the first base station determines that the first SIM card does not respond to the paging is not because the paging process has a problem, but because the terminal where the first SIM card is located autonomously decides that the first SIM card does not respond to the paging.

[0058] In an embodiment, the first indication information is further used to indicate that the first SIM card in the multi-card terminal paged by the first base station has received the page from the first base station. Accordingly, the core network can further indicate through the first indication information that the first SIM card in the multi-card terminal paged by the first base station has received the page from the first base station, so that the first base station knows that the first SIM card has received the page from the first base station, but does not respond to the page, rather than not responding to the page because the first SIM card has not received the page from the first base station.

[0059] In an embodiment, the method further comprises: sending second indication information to the first base station, wherein the second indication information is used to indicate that the first SIM card in the multi-card terminal does not respond to the page.

[0060] After determining that the first SIM card in the multi-card terminal does not respond to the page according to the first information, the core network can generate second information and send the second information to the first base station, or transmit the first information as the second information to the first base station, to inform the first base station that the first SIM card does not respond to the page.

[0061] Accordingly, the first base station can determine that the paging process has not gone wrong, and thus can not have to perform unnecessary operations (such as increasing the paging power, changing the paging mode, etc.), which is beneficial to avoid wasting resources. For example, the first base station can suspend paging the first SIM card in the terminal after receiving the second indication information.

[0062] In an embodiment, the method further comprises: suspending paging the first SIM card.

[0063] The paging operation is generally triggered by the core network. For example, when the core network needs to page the first SIM card, the core network can instruct the base station in the tracking area where the first SIM card is located to page the first SIM card.

[0064] In the embodiment, the core network can suspend paging the first SIM card when it is determined according to the first indication information that the first SIM card does not respond to the page, such as delaying the reception of service data from the first SIM card, instructing the first base station to suspend paging the first SIM card, etc.

[0065] In an embodiment, the communication device comprises at least one of the following: a terminal (such as the multi-card terminal described above), a base station (such as the second base station).

[0066] In the case of the communication device being a terminal, the communication device can be a multi-card terminal in which the first SIM card is located. The multi-card terminal can send (transmitted through a base station) the first indication information to the core network through non-access layer signaling. For example, the multi-card terminal can send the first indication information to the core network through non-access layer signaling by using a second SIM card in the multi-card terminal.

[0067] In the case of the communication device being a base station, the communication device can be a second base station that is in communication with a second SIM card in a multi-card terminal in which the first SIM card is located. The second base station obtains the first indication information from the second SIM card and then sends the first indication to the core network.

[0068] It should be noted that the second SIM card and the first SIM card are not specific to certain SIM cards, but refer to any two different SIM cards in a terminal. The SIM cards in all embodiments of the present disclosure include, but are not limited to, USIM cards, eSIM cards, and the like.

[0069] In one embodiment, the first indication information is also used to indicate the reason why the first SIM card does not respond to the paging.

[0070] In one embodiment, the first indication information can also carry the reason why the first SIM card does not respond to the paging of the first base station. The reason can be a direct reason, such as the terminal being in communication with the second base station using the second SIM card. The reason can also be an indirect reason, such as service information of the second SIM card communicating with the second base station. The service information can be, for example, the type of service, the priority of service, the data volume of service data to be sent, and the like.

[0071] After receiving the first indication information from the core network, the first base station can determine the reason why the first SIM card does not respond to the paging of the first base station, so as to decide the subsequent action accordingly.

[0072] Figure 2 is another schematic flowchart of an indication transceiving method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2 The reason includes at least the second SIM card in the multi-card terminal communicating with the second base station. The method further includes:

[0073] In step S201, the request information sent by the first base station is received. The request information is used to request the core network to indicate the second base station to suspend communication with the second SIM card.

[0074] In one embodiment, in the case that the first base station determines that the reason that the first SIM card does not respond to the first base station paging includes that the terminal communicates with the second base station through the second SIM card, if it is determined according to its own needs that the first SIM card still needs to be paged, the first base station can send request information to the core network to request the core network to instruct the second base station to suspend the communication with the second SIM card, so that the terminal can use the first SIM card to respond to the paging.

[0075] Accordingly, in the case that the first base station still needs to page the first SIM card, the core network can be requested to instruct the second base station to suspend the communication process with the second SIM card, so that the terminal can use the first SIM card to respond to the paging of the first base station.

[0076] It should be noted that in all embodiments of the present disclosure, the communication between the SIM card and the base station can be specifically the communication between the terminal where the SIM card is located and the base station. The terminal can communicate with the base station through the SIM card and the processor and the radio frequency transceiver element in the terminal. The element that directly communicates with the base station can be the radio frequency transceiver element. The information that needs to be sent by the radio frequency transceiver element can come from the SIM card, and the information received by the radio frequency transceiver element can be first transmitted to the SIM card.

[0077] For example, the communication between the second SIM card and the second base station as indicated in the above embodiments means that the terminal where the second SIM card is located communicates with the base station based on the identity of the second SIM card. Similarly, the communication between the first SIM card and the first base station means that the terminal where the first SIM card is located communicates with the base station based on the identity of the first SIM card. For example, the first SIM card receives the paging of the first base station, specifically, the first SIM card in the terminal where the first SIM card is located receives the paging of the first base station.

[0078] In one embodiment, the first indication information can further carry the service information of the communication between the second SIM card and the second base station. The first base station can determine the service information to be performed by paging the first SIM card, and compare the two service information. In the case that the service to be performed by paging the first SIM card is relatively urgent, the request information can be sent to the second base station. In the case that the service of the communication between the second SIM card and the second base station is relatively urgent, the request information does not need to be sent to the second base station.

[0079] Or the first base station can carry information of the service that the first SIM card is to perform in the request information, the core network determines which of the service in communication with the second SIM card and the service that the first base station pings the first SIM card to perform is more urgent, and in the case that the service that the first base station pings the first SIM card to perform is determined to be more urgent, the second base station can be instructed to suspend communication with the second SIM card, and when the service in communication with the second SIM card is relatively urgent, the second base station does not need to be instructed to suspend communication with the second SIM card.

[0080] Figure 3 is another schematic flowchart of an indication transceiving method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 3 the method further includes:

[0081] In step S301, third indication information is sent to the second base station; wherein the third indication information is used to instruct the second base station to suspend communication with the second SIM card.

[0082] In one embodiment, when the core network determines that the second base station needs to suspend communication with the second SIM card, the third indication information can be sent to the second base station, and the second base station is instructed to suspend communication with the second SIM card through the third indication information.

[0083] The basis for the core network to determine that the second base station needs to suspend communication with the second SIM card includes but is not limited to that the core network receives the request information of the first base station, and the core network determines that the service that the first base station pings the first SIM card to perform is more urgent.

[0084] After receiving the third indication information, the second base station can instruct the second SIM card in the terminal to suspend communication with the second base station, and the terminal can control the second SIM card to suspend communication with the second base station, for example, can remain in a connected state and temporarily stop uplink and downlink communication with the second base station, or can enter a non-connected state (such as an idle state or an inactive state). During the suspension of communication between the second SIM card and the second base station, the terminal can respond to the ping of the first base station through the first SIM card, for example, initiate random access to the first base station through the first SIM card.

[0085] It should be noted that in all embodiments of the present disclosure, the indication to the SIM card is actually to the terminal in which the SIM card is located.

[0086] For example, the second SIM card is instructed to suspend the communication with the second base station in the above embodiment, which can be specifically that the radio frequency transceiver element receives the indication information sent by the second base station, then sends the indication information to the second SIM card, the second SIM card further sends the indication information to the processor of the terminal, the processor of the terminal analyzes and determines the meaning of the indication information, and then controls the second SIM card to suspend the communication with the second base station based on the meaning of the indication information, so that the terminal suspends sending information to the second base station based on the identity of the second SIM card or receiving information of the second base station.

[0087] Figure 4 is another schematic flowchart of an indication transceiving method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 4 , the method further includes:

[0088] In step S401, the related information of the paging sent by the first base station is received; and in response to determining that the second SIM card suspends the communication according to the related information, the third indication information is sent to the second base station. The execution order of step S401 can be adjusted as needed, and it is not necessarily after step S201 as shown in Figure 4 , but also before step S201 or step S102.

[0089] In one embodiment, the first base station can send the related information of the paging sent to the first SIM card to the core network, which includes but is not limited to the information of the service to be performed by the first base station paging the first SIM card, based on which the core network can determine which service of the second base station communicating with the second SIM card and the service to be performed by the first base station paging the first SIM card is more urgent.

[0090] If it is determined that the service to be performed by the first base station paging the first SIM card is more urgent, it is determined that the second base station needs to suspend the communication with the second SIM card, and then the third indication information can be sent to the second base station to instruct the second base station to suspend the communication with the second SIM card. Further, the second base station can send the indication information to the terminal to make the terminal suspend the communication with the second base station through the second SIM card.

[0091] It should be noted that after receiving the indication information from the second base station, the terminal can suspend the communication between the second SIM card and the second base station, and further can choose to respond to the paging of the first base station through the first SIM card, or can choose to perform other actions instead of responding to the paging of the first base station through the first SIM card. If the second base station explicitly instructs through the indication information that the terminal not only needs to suspend the communication between the second SIM card and the second base station, but also needs to respond to the paging of the first base station through the first SIM card, then the terminal needs to respond to the paging of the first base station through the first SIM card after suspending the communication between the second SIM card and the second base station.

[0092] In one embodiment, the first indication information is further used to indicate a duration in which the first SIM card does not respond to the paging. The duration in which the first SIM card does not respond to the paging can also be carried in the first indication information, so that the core network can carry the duration in the second indication information sent to the first base station, so that the first base station determines that the terminal does not need to be paged again at least within the duration.

[0093] It should be noted that in addition to carrying the duration in the first indication information, the duration can also be determined by the core network, for example, according to the communication condition of the second base station and the second SIM card, and specifically, the time required for the second base station to complete communication with the second SIM card can be determined as the duration.

[0094] Figure 5 is a schematic flow chart of an indication transceiving method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The indication transceiving method shown in the embodiment can be applied to a first base station, which can communicate with a core network and also communicate with a terminal as a user equipment.

[0095] The first base station includes but is not limited to a base station in a communication system such as a 4G base station, a 5G base station, a 6G base station, etc. The terminal includes but is not limited to a communication device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, a sensor, an Internet of Things device, etc.

[0096] As shown in the embodiment, the indication transceiving method can include the following steps: Figure 5

[0097] In step S501, the second indication information sent by the core network is received.

[0098] In step S502, according to the second indication information, it is determined that the first SIM card in the multi-card terminal does not respond to the paging.

[0099] In one embodiment, the first base station can page the first SIM card in the multi-card terminal, for example, send paging signaling to the multi-card terminal in a manner of broadcast, unicast, multicast, etc. The first SIM card in the multi-card terminal can respond to the paging after receiving the paging of the first base station, for example, initiate random access to the first base station, or can not respond to the paging.

[0100] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the core network determines that the first SIM card in the terminal does not respond to the paging, the first base station can be informed by the second indication information that the first SIM card in the terminal has received the paging of the first base station, but does not respond to the paging.

[0101] ​Accordingly, the first base station can determine that the first SIM card in the terminal does not respond to the paging because the terminal in which the first SIM card is located autonomously decides not to respond to the paging, and the paging process has not gone wrong, so unnecessary operations can not be performed, and resource waste can be avoided. For example, the first base station can suspend paging the terminal after receiving the first indication information.

[0102] In one embodiment, the determining, according to the second indication information, that the first SIM card in the multi-card terminal does not respond to the paging comprises: determining, according to the second indication information, that the first SIM card in the multi-card terminal that the first base station pages receives the paging of the first base station, and the first SIM card does not respond to the paging

[0103] Figure 6 is a schematic flowchart of another indication transceiving method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 6 the method further comprises:

[0104] In step S601, the reason that the first SIM card does not respond to the paging is determined according to the second indication information.

[0105] In one embodiment, the core network can determine the reason that the first SIM card in the terminal does not respond to the paging of the first base station, and send the reason to the first base station in the second indication information, so that the first base station knows the reason that the first SIM card in the terminal does not respond to the paging of the first base station.

[0106] For example, the terminal can send first indication information to the core network, and the first indication information can carry the reason that the first SIM card in the terminal does not respond to the paging of the first base station. The reason can be a direct reason, for example, the terminal is communicating with the second base station using the second SIM card, and the reason can also be an indirect reason, for example, service information of the second SIM card communicating with the second base station, which can be, for example, the type of service, the priority of service, the data volume of service data to be sent, etc.

[0107] After receiving the first indication information, the core network can determine the reason that the first SIM card in the terminal does not respond to the paging of the first base station, and then the core network can carry the reason in the second indication information sent to the first base station, so that the first base station knows the reason that the first SIM card in the terminal does not respond to the paging of the first base station.

[0108] Figure 7 is a schematic flowchart of another indication transceiving method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 7 the method further comprises:

[0109] In step S701, in response to the reason including at least that the second SIM card in the multi-card terminal communicates with the second base station, sending request information to the core network; wherein the request information is used to request the core network to instruct the second base station to suspend the communication with the second SIM card.

[0110] In one embodiment, in the case that the first base station determines that the reason that the first SIM card in the terminal does not respond to the first base station paging includes that the terminal communicates with the second base station through the second SIM card, if it is determined according to its own needs that the first SIM card still needs to be paged, the first base station can send request information to the core network to request the core network to instruct the second base station to suspend the communication with the second SIM card.

[0111] Accordingly, in the case that the first base station still needs to page the first SIM card, the terminal can use the first SIM card to respond to the paging of the first base station by requesting the core network to instruct the second base station to suspend the communication process of the second SIM card.

[0112] In one embodiment, the first indication information can further carry the service information of the communication between the second SIM card and the second base station, the first base station can determine the service information to be performed by paging the first SIM card, and compare the two service information, in the case that the service to be performed by paging the first SIM card is determined to be relatively urgent, the first base station can send the request information to the core network.

[0113] Or the first base station can carry the information of the service to be performed by paging the first SIM card in the request information, and the core network determines which of the service of the communication between the second SIM card and the second base station and the service to be performed by paging the first SIM card is more urgent, in the case that the service to be performed by paging the first SIM card is determined to be more urgent, the core network can select to instruct the second base station to suspend the communication with the second SIM card of the terminal.

[0114] In one embodiment, in response to determining that the second base station suspends the communication with the second SIM card according to the response information of the core network, continuing to page the first SIM card.

[0115] In one embodiment, after instructing the second base station to suspend the communication with the second SIM card, the core network can send response information to the first base station to inform the first base station that the second base station has been instructed to suspend the communication with the second SIM card, so that the first SIM card can continue to page the first SIM card, for example, continue to page the first SIM card in the terminal.

[0116] In one embodiment, the method further comprises: suspending paging the first SIM card. The first base station can suspend paging the first SIM card in the case that it determines that the first SIM card does not respond to the paging, for example, the first base station can automatically suspend paging the first SIM card after receiving the second indication information, or can suspend paging the first SIM card after receiving an indication from the core network that explicitly instructs to suspend paging the first SIM card, thereby helping to avoid resource waste of the first SIM card.

[0117] Figure 8 is another schematic flowchart illustrating a method of indicating according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 8 The suspending paging the first SIM card comprises:

[0118] In step S801, determining a time length during which the first SIM card does not respond to the paging according to the second indication information;

[0119] In step S802, suspending paging the terminal during the time length.

[0120] In one embodiment, the core network can determine a time length during which the first SIM card in the terminal does not respond to the paging of the first base station, and send the time length to the first base station in the first indication information, so that the first base station learns the time length during which the first SIM card in the terminal does not respond to the paging of the first base station.

[0121] For example, the time length during which the first SIM card in the terminal does not respond to the paging of the first base station can be carried in the first indication information sent by the terminal to the core network, so that the core network can send the time length to the first base station in the second indication information. The first base station can suspend paging the terminal at least during the time length after determining the time length, thereby avoiding resource waste caused by the first base station continuing to page the terminal during the time length.

[0122] Figure 9 is a schematic flowchart illustrating a method of indicating according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method of indicating shown in this embodiment can be applied to a second base station, which can communicate with a core network and can also communicate with a terminal as a user equipment.

[0123] The second base station includes but is not limited to a base station in a communication system such as a 4G base station, a 5G base station, a 6G base station, etc. The terminal includes but is not limited to a communication device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, a sensor, an Internet of Things device, etc.

[0124] As shown in Figure 9 The method of indicating can comprise the following steps:

[0125] In step S901, first indication information is sent to the core network, wherein the first indication information is used to indicate that the first SIM card in the multi-card terminal does not respond to the paging.

[0126] In one embodiment, the first indication information is also used to indicate that the first SIM card in the multi-card terminal paged by the first base station has received the paging of the first base station. Accordingly, the core network can also indicate through second indication information that the first SIM card in the multi-card terminal paged by the first base station has received the paging of the first base station, so that the first base station knows that the first SIM card in the multi-card terminal has received the paging of the first base station but does not respond to the paging, instead of not responding to the paging because the first SIM card has not received the paging of the first base station.

[0127] In one embodiment, the second base station communicates with the second SIM card in the multi-card terminal, and before the first indication information is sent to the core network, the method further comprises: receiving busy indication information sent by the second SIM card, and determining that the first SIM card does not respond to the paging according to the busy indication information.

[0128] In one embodiment, during the communication between the terminal and the second base station through the second SIM card, if the first SIM card is paged by the first base station, since responding to the paging through the first SIM card will affect the communication between the second SIM card and the second base station, the terminal can determine whether to respond to the paging through the first SIM card according to needs, for example, according to service information of the communication between the second SIM card and the second base station and service information corresponding to the paging received by the first SIM card, and specific determination manners are described in subsequent embodiments.

[0129] In the case where the terminal determines not to respond to the paging through the first SIM card, busy indication information can be sent to the second base station through the second SIM card that is communicating with the second base station, to inform the second base station that the first SIM card in the terminal does not respond to the paging. Further, the second base station can send the first indication information to the core network, to inform the core network through the first indication information that the first SIM card in the multi-card terminal paged by the first base station does not respond to the paging.

[0130] According to the present embodiment, in the case where the second base station determines that the first SIM card in the multi-card terminal does not respond to the paging, the first indication information can be sent to the core network, so that the core network knows that the first SIM card does not respond to the paging, so that the core network further sends second indication information to the first base station, so that the first base station determines that the paged first SIM card does not respond to the paging, which is the decision of the terminal where the first SIM card is located according to its own needs, and not that there is a problem in the paging process, thereby avoiding resource waste caused by unnecessary operations of the first base station.

[0131] In an embodiment, the first indication information is further used to indicate at least one of: information of the first SIM card; information of the first base station; a reason for not responding to the paging; a time length for not responding to the paging.

[0132] For example, the information of the first SIM card can be an identifier of the first SIM card, and the service corresponding to the paging received by the first SIM card.

[0133] According to the information of the first SIM card and the information of the first base station, the core network can determine that the first indication information needs to be sent to the first base station, and inform the first base station through the first indication information that the first SIM card has received the paging and not responded to the paging, so that the first base station suspends paging the first SIM card, without suspending paging other SIM cards.

[0134] Of course, if the first indication information does not include the information of the first SIM card or the information of the first base station, the second base station can determine that the first indication information needs to be sent to the first base station through other ways, for example, according to the historical communication record of the terminal.

[0135] In an embodiment, the first indication information is further used to indicate a reason for not responding to the paging by the first SIM card.

[0136] In an embodiment, the second base station can determine the reason for not responding to the paging by the first SIM card in the terminal, and send the reason to the core network in the first indication information, and send the reason to the first base station by the core network, so that the core network and the first base station know the reason for not responding to the paging by the first SIM card in the terminal.

[0137] For example, the terminal can send busy indication information to the second base station, and the busy indication information can carry the reason for not responding to the paging by the first SIM card in the terminal, and the second base station can send the reason to the core network in the first indication information. The reason can be a direct reason, for example, the terminal is communicating with the second base station using the second SIM card, and the reason can also be an indirect reason, for example, service information of the second SIM card communicating with the second base station, which can be, for example, a type of service, a priority of service, a data volume of service data to be sent, etc.

[0138] After receiving the first indication information, the core network can determine the reason for not responding to the paging by the first SIM card in the terminal, and then the core network can carry the reason in the second indication information sent to the first base station, so that the first base station knows the reason for not responding to the paging by the first SIM card in the terminal.

[0139] Figure 10is a schematic flowchart of another indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 10 The cause at least includes that the second SIM card in the multi-card terminal communicates with the second base station, and the method further includes:

[0140] In step S1001, third indication information of the core network is received, where the third indication information is used to indicate that the second base station suspends communication with the second SIM card.

[0141] In step S1002, communication with the second SIM card is suspended.

[0142] In an embodiment, when the core network determines that the second base station needs to suspend communication with the second SIM card, the third indication information can be sent to the second base station, and the second base station is instructed to suspend communication with the second SIM card through the third indication information.

[0143] The basis for the core network to determine that the second base station needs to suspend communication with the second SIM card includes but is not limited to that the core network receives the request information of the first base station and determines that the service to be performed by the first base station to page the first SIM card is more urgent.

[0144] In an embodiment, after receiving the third indication information, the second base station can instruct the second SIM card in the terminal to suspend communication with the second base station, and the terminal can control the second SIM card to suspend communication with the second base station, for example, can remain in a connected state and temporarily stop uplink and downlink communication with the second base station, or can enter a non-connected state (for example, an idle state or an inactive state). During the suspension of communication between the second SIM card and the second base station, the terminal can respond to the paging of the first base station through the first SIM card, for example, can initiate random access to the first base station through the first SIM card.

[0145] In an embodiment, the first indication information is further used to indicate a time length during which the first SIM card does not respond to the paging.

[0146] In an embodiment, the second base station can determine the time length during which the first SIM card in the terminal does not respond to the paging of the first base station, and send the time length in the first indication information to the core network, and then send the time length to the first base station by the core network, so that the core network and the first base station know the time length during which the first SIM card in the terminal does not respond to the paging of the first base station.

[0147] For example, the terminal can carry the duration that the first SIM card in the terminal does not respond to the paging of the first base station in the busy indication information sent to the second base station, so that the second base station can carry the duration in the first indication information sent to the core network, and sent to the first base station by the core network. After determining the duration, the first base station can suspend paging the terminal for at least the duration, avoiding resource waste caused by the first base station continuing to page the terminal within the duration.

[0148] Figure 11 is a schematic flow chart of an indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The indication method shown in the embodiment can be applied to a terminal, and the terminal can be a multi-card terminal, and the terminal can be provided with multiple SIM cards, including at least a second SIM card and a first SIM card.

[0149] The terminal can communicate with the second base station, and can also communicate with the first base station, and can also communicate with the core network, for example, the terminal can communicate with the second base station through the second SIM card therein, and communicate with the first base station through the first SIM card therein.

[0150] The second base station and the first base station include but are not limited to base stations in communication systems such as 4G base stations, 5G base stations, 6G base stations, etc. The terminal includes but is not limited to communication devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, wearable devices, sensors, Internet of Things devices, etc.

[0151] As shown in Figure 11 The indication method can include the following steps:

[0152] In step S1101, first indication information is sent to the core network; wherein the first indication information is used to indicate that the first SIM card does not respond to paging.

[0153] In one embodiment, the terminal can communicate with the second base station through the second SIM card, and communicate with the first base station through the first SIM card.

[0154] During the process that the terminal communicates with the second base station through the second SIM card, if the first base station pages the first SIM card, since responding to the paging through the first SIM card will affect the communication between the second SIM card and the second base station, the terminal can determine whether to respond to the paging through the first SIM card according to the need, for example, according to the service information of the communication between the second SIM card and the second base station, and the service information corresponding to the paging received by the first SIM card.

[0155] In a case where the terminal determines not to respond to the paging through the first SIM card, the first indication information can be sent to the core network to inform the core network that the first SIM card in the terminal does not respond to the paging. For example, it can be specifically indicated that the first SIM card receives the paging of the first base station, and the first SIM card does not respond to the paging. Accordingly, the core network can also indicate through the second indication information that the first SIM card in the multi-card terminal that is paged by the first base station receives the paging of the first base station, so that the first base station knows that the multi-card SIM card receives the paging of the first base station, but does not respond to the paging, instead of not responding to the paging because the first SIM card does not receive the paging of the first base station.

[0156] According to the embodiment, in a case where the first SIM card does not respond to the paging, the terminal can send the first indication information to the core network, and then the core network sends the second indication information to the first base station, so that the core network and the first base station know that the first SIM card in the multi-card terminal does not respond to the paging, and it is ensured that the first base station will not mistakenly think that no response of the first SIM card is because the paging process goes wrong, and resource waste caused by further execution of unnecessary operations is avoided.

[0157] In an embodiment, the first indication information is also used to indicate at least one of the following: information of the first SIM card; information of the first base station; a reason why the first SIM card does not respond to the paging; a duration for which the first SIM card does not respond to the paging.

[0158] For example, the information of the first SIM card can be an identifier of the first SIM card, and the service corresponding to the paging received by the first SIM card; and the information of the first base station can be an identifier of the first base station.

[0159] According to the information of the first SIM card and the information of the first base station, the core network can determine that the first indication information needs to be sent to the first base station, and inform the first base station through the first indication information that the first SIM card receives the paging and does not respond to the paging, so that the first base station suspends paging the first SIM card, but does not suspend paging other SIM cards.

[0160] Of course, if the first indication information does not include the information of the first SIM card or the information of the first base station, the second base station can also determine that the first indication information needs to be sent to the first base station through other ways, for example, according to historical communication records of the terminal.

[0161] In an embodiment, the first SIM card does not respond to the paging according to at least one of the following: service information of the second SIM card in the multi-card terminal and the second base station; and service information corresponding to the paging.

[0162] In one embodiment, the basis for the first SIM card to determine not to respond to the paging of the first base station can be configured by the core network, for example, configured to the terminal through non-access layer signaling, can be configured by the base station, for example, configured to the terminal through radio control access layer signaling, and can also be determined by the terminal according to its own implementation.

[0163] It should be noted that the basis includes but is not limited to the above two cases, and the specific service information can also be various, for example, the priority of the service, the identity of the service, the quality of service, etc.

[0164] For example, the service information includes the priority of the service, the terminal can compare the priorities of the two services, and when the priority of the service in which the second SIM card communicates with the second base station is higher, it can be determined that the first SIM card does not respond to the paging.

[0165] For example, the service information includes the identity of the service, the terminal can determine whether the service in which the second SIM card communicates with the second base station is a specific service according to the identity of the service, and in the case of a specific service, it can be determined that the first SIM card does not respond to the paging.

[0166] Figure 12 is another indication method according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 12 The method further includes:

[0167] In step S1201, the suspension indication information sent by the second base station is received.

[0168] In step S1202, the communication between the second SIM card and the second base station is suspended.

[0169] In step S1203, the paging is responded through the first SIM card.

[0170] In one embodiment, the reason for the first base station to determine that the first SIM card in the terminal does not respond to the paging of the first base station includes the case that the terminal communicates with the second base station through the second SIM card. If it is determined according to its own needs that the first SIM card still needs to be paged, the core network can be sent request information to request the core network to instruct the second base station to suspend the communication with the second SIM card.

[0171] The core network can determine whether to suspend the communication between the second base station and the second SIM card according to the needs. If it is determined that the communication between the second base station and the second SIM card needs to be suspended, the second base station can be sent third indication information to instruct the second base station to suspend the communication with the second SIM card.

[0172] After receiving the third indication information, the second base station can further send a suspension indication information to the terminal, so as to instruct the terminal to suspend the communication between the second SIM card and the second base station, and then the terminal can suspend the communication between the second SIM card and the second base station and respond to the paging through the first SIM card.

[0173] In one embodiment, after suspending the communication between the second SIM card and the second base station, if the terminal receives a paging from the first base station through the first SIM card, the terminal can respond to the paging through the first SIM card. If no paging from the first base station is received, the terminal can choose not to respond to the previously received paging.

[0174] It should be noted that the steps performed by the second base station and the first base station in the above embodiments are applicable to both base stations. For example, during the communication between the first base station and the first SIM card, the second base station pages the second SIM card, and the terminal decides not to respond to the paging of the second base station. Then, the second base station can perform the steps of the first base station, and the first base station can perform the steps of the second base station. Correspondingly, the second SIM card and the first SIM card are also switched.
