Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of a Chinese application with application number 202080000565.3, which entered China on April 24, 2022. Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, but is not limited thereto. In particular, it relates to an information transmission method and apparatus, a communication device, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0003] With the development of wireless communication technologies, there are more and more multi-SIM mobile phones on the market. Typical application scenarios of multi-SIM mobile phones include the following two:

[0004] Business users have a personal SIM card and a business SIM card, and place the two SIM cards in the same mobile phone.

[0005] Ordinary users have multiple personal SIM cards and can select which SIM card to use according to the service.

[0006] These SIM cards may be from the same operator or from different operators.

[0007] Currently, the processing methods for multi-SIM mobile phones are mainly based on the implementations of each UE manufacturer, and there is no unified standard for regulation. This has led to many different UE behaviors and processing methods (such as single-SIM single-standby, dual-SIM single-standby single-call, dual-SIM dual-standby dual-call, etc.).

[0008] For multi-SIM UEs, current networks consider different SIMs as different UEs, and each SIM communicates with the network independently without any cooperation with each other. This leads to high power consumption of the UE and phenomena such as resource contention among multiple SIMs within the UE. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Embodiments of this application provide an information transmission method and apparatus, a communication device, and a storage medium.

[0010] In a first aspect of the embodiments of this application, an information transmission method is provided. The method is applied to a user equipment (UE), and includes:

[0011] Sending reporting capability information; where the reporting capability information is used to indicate that the UE supports reporting subscriber identity module (SIM) card information.

[0012] In a second aspect of the embodiments of this application, an information transmission method is provided. The method is applied to a base station, and includes:

[0013] Receiving reporting capability information; where the reporting capability information is used to indicate that a user equipment (UE) supports reporting subscriber identity module (SIM) card information.

[0014] In the third aspect of the embodiments of the present application, an information transmission device is provided, which is applied to a user equipment (UE). The device includes:

[0015] A first sending module, configured to send reporting capability information, where the reporting capability information is used to indicate that the UE supports reporting subscriber identity module (SIM) card information.

[0016] In the fourth aspect of the embodiments of the present application, an information transmission device is provided, which is applied to a base station. The device includes:

[0017] A second receiving module, configured to receive reporting capability information, where the reporting capability information is used to indicate that a user equipment (UE) supports reporting subscriber identity module (SIM) card information.

[0018] In the fifth aspect of the embodiments of the present application, a communication device is provided, including a processor, a transceiver, a memory, and an executable program stored in the memory and capable of running on the processor. When the processor runs the executable program, it executes the information transmission method provided in any of the foregoing first aspect or second aspect of any technical solution.

[0019] In the sixth aspect of the embodiments of the present application, a computer storage medium is provided. The computer storage medium stores an executable program; after the executable program is executed by a processor, it can implement the information transmission method provided in any of the foregoing first aspect or second aspect of any technical solution.

[0020] In the information transmission method provided in the embodiments of the present application, the UE will send reporting capability information to the base station. The reporting capability information can indicate whether the terminal has the ability to report SIM card information, so as to facilitate the base station to control the UE to report its own SIM card information according to the need to obtain SIM card information and the reporting capability of the UE. In this way, the base station can subsequently coordinate and schedule multiple SIMs in the UE, thereby reducing conflicts between multiple SIMs in terms of paging opportunity determination and resource occupation such as antennas in the terminal, and thus reducing the occurrence probability of error events caused by independent scheduling of multiple SIMs, and improving the service quality of the UE.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a schematic structural diagram of a wireless communication system provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. As Figure 1 shown, the wireless communication system is a communication system based on cellular mobile communication technology, and the wireless communication system may include: a plurality of UEs 11 and a plurality of base stations 12.

[0036] Among them, the UE 11 may be a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user. The UE 11 may communicate with at least one core network via a Radio Access Network (RAN). The UE 11 may be an Internet of Things (IoT) UE, such as a sensor device, a mobile phone (or referred to as a "cellular" phone), and a computer with an IoT UE. For example, it may be a fixed, portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-integrated, or vehicle-mounted device. For example, a Station (STA), a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile, a remote station, an access point, a remote UE, an access terminal, a user terminal, a user agent, a user device, or a user equipment (UE). Or, the UE 11 may also be a device of an unmanned aerial vehicle. Or, the UE 11 may also be a vehicle-mounted device. For example, it may be an in-vehicle computer with wireless communication function, or a wireless communication device external to the in-vehicle computer. Or, the UE 11 may also be a roadside device. For example, it may be a street lamp, a traffic signal, or other roadside devices with wireless communication function.

[0037] The base station 12 may be a network-side device in a wireless communication system. Among them, the wireless communication system may be a fourth-generation mobile communication technology (4G) system, also known as the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system; or, the wireless communication system may also be a 5G system, also known as the new radio (NR) system or 5G NR system. Or, the wireless communication system may also be the next-generation system of the 5G system. Among them, the access network in the 5G system may be called the NG-RAN (New Generation-Radio Access Network). Or, the MTC system.

[0038] Among them, the base station 12 may be an evolved Node B (eNB) adopted in the 4G system. Or, the base station 12 may also be a gNode B (gNB) with a centralized distributed architecture adopted in the 5G system. When the base station 12 adopts a centralized distributed architecture, it usually includes a central unit (CU) and at least two distributed units (DUs). The protocol stacks of the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer, Radio Link Control (RLC) layer, and Media Access Control (MAC) layer are set in the central unit; the Physical (PHY) layer protocol stack is set in the distributed unit. The specific implementation manner of the base station 12 is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0039] A wireless connection may be established between the base station 12 and the UE 11 through a wireless air interface. In different embodiments, the wireless air interface is a wireless air interface based on the fourth-generation mobile communication network technology (4G) standard; or, the wireless air interface is a wireless air interface based on the fifth-generation mobile communication network technology (5G) standard, such as the new radio; or, the wireless air interface may also be a wireless air interface based on the next-generation mobile communication network technology standard of 5G.

[0040] In some embodiments, an E2E (End to End) connection may also be established between UEs 11. For example, in scenarios such as V2V (vehicle to vehicle), V2I (vehicle to Infrastructure), and V2P (vehicle to pedestrian) communications in vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication.

[0041] In some embodiments, the above wireless communication system may further include a network management device 13.

[0042] A plurality of base stations 12 are respectively connected to the network management device 13. Among them, the network management device 13 may be a core network device in the wireless communication system. For example, the network management device 13 may be a Mobility Management Entity (MME) in an Evolved Packet Core (EPC). Alternatively, the network management device may also be other core network devices, such as a Serving GateWay (SGW), a Public Data Network GateWay (PGW), a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), or a Home Subscriber Server (HSS), etc. The implementation form of the network management device 13 is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0043] As Figure 2 shown, this embodiment provides an information transmission method, which is applied to a user equipment UE. The method includes:

[0044] S210: Transmit reporting capability information; where the reporting capability information is used to indicate that the UE supports reporting Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card information.

[0045] In the embodiments of the present application, the UE may be various types of UEs. For example, an enhance Mobile Broad Band (eMBB) UE or a (Reduced capability NR devices) lightweight UE. Specifically, the UE includes: a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or a wearable device, etc.

[0046] For example, the UE may be a multi-SIM UE capable of installing multiple SIMs, or a multi-SIM UE that has already installed multiple SIMs.

[0047] UEs of different types have different software and hardware capabilities. For example, the first type of UE has the ability to report SIM card information, while the second type of UE does not have the ability to report SIM card information. For example, the second type of UE may have fewer antennas than the first type of UE; for another example, the maximum bandwidth supported by the first type of UE is greater than the maximum bandwidth supported by the second type of UE.

[0048] In some cases, the ability to report SIM card information for reporting SIM card information needs to be subscribed. For example, the UE enables the reporting service in the cellular mobile communication network, so as to have the ability to report SIM card information. The UE will send reporting ability information to the base station, and the reporting ability information will indicate whether it has the ability to report multiple SIM card information.

[0049] Whether the UE has the ability to report multi-SIM card information, that is, whether the UE has the ability to report multi-SIM card information. The UE can inform the base station through the reporting ability information. The reporting ability information includes at least one bit. For example, when the reporting ability information corresponds to one bit, the two bit values "0" and "1" of this bit can be used to indicate that the UE has the ability to report multi-SIM card information and the UE does not have the ability to report multi-SIM card information, respectively, these two ability states. Therefore, in some embodiments, the reporting ability information is at least used to indicate whether the UE supports the reporting of multi-SIM card information.

[0050] The user identification module may be a Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) card that exists in the form of a separate entity or an embedded Subscriber Identification Module (e-SIM) that exists in the UE in an integrated form, etc.

[0051] There can be multiple specific types of the SIM. For example, it includes, but is not limited to: Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM). By reporting the reporting ability information, the UE can inform the base station whether it supports the reporting of multi-SIM card information. The SIM card information includes at least one of the following: card Identity (ID) and / or card status information. The card ID is used to identify the SIM. When the UE reports the card IDs of multiple SIMs, the base station knows how many SIMs are in the UE and knows the card IDs of these SIMs. When paging a multi-card UE, in order to reduce paging collisions, the paging time can be determined according to the card ID.

[0052] The card status information can be used to indicate the status of the corresponding SIM, for example, indicating the on and / or off status of the corresponding SIM, or for another example, indicating whether the corresponding SIM is normal. Some SIMs are in an abnormal state where they cannot communicate due to incorrect insertion positions; some SIM card slots do not have any SIMs inserted into them.

[0053] At this time, after the base station knows whether the UE has the ability to report multiple SIM card information, if the UE supports multiple SIM card information reporting, the base station instructs the UE to report when it needs to know the multiple SIM card information, and then assists the base station in optimizing resource and transmission scheduling. For example, based on the SIM card information reported by the UE, multiple cards in a UE can be coordinated, the effective utilization of resources can be improved, and low power consumption and high communication quality communication of the UE can be achieved.

[0054] For example, the handling method for multi-SIM phones is mainly based on the implementation of each UE manufacturer, and there is no unified standard. This leads to many different UE behaviors and handling methods (for example, dual-SIM single standby, dual-SIM dual standby single pass, dual-SIM dual standby dual pass, etc.), and may cause the following problems:

[0055] When a multi-card UE is in communication with the first system, it needs to detect the second system from time to time, such as monitoring paging, measuring, reading system messages, etc., which may affect the performance of the first system. For example, one SIM is connected to the first system, and the other SIM is idle and used to detect the second system; but the two SIMs share an antenna panel. At this time, the use of the same antenna panel by the two SIMs will cause interference to each other. The first system and the second system here can be communication systems that support different system bandwidths, or communication systems that support different communication protocols. For example, the first system can be 5G, and the second system can be 4G or 3G, etc. If one SIM uses 5G for communication, if the other SIM frequently seizes the shared software and hardware resources in the UE such as the antenna panel to measure the 4G system, it will cause frequent interruptions in 5G data transmission. At this time, when the base station finds the information of the two SIM cards in the UE, it can reduce the measurement activities of the SIM measuring 4G by issuing scheduling instructions, thereby reducing the conflict caused by the seizure of the two SIMs in the internal resources of the UE, realizing the optimal allocation of resources, and reducing the interruption of 5G data transmission.

[0056] In some embodiments, the paging time is calculated based on the UE's identifier, and multi-card UEs may cause systematic paging collisions due to multiple SIM cards. Since the UE reports its own multiple SIM card information, when the base station needs to page multiple SIM cards in a UE at the same time, it can prioritize the SIM cards with high urgency or important SIM cards from high to low according to the priority of the SIM cards to reduce paging collisions.

[0057] When a multi-SIM UE receives a paging message on the second system, it needs to decide whether to respond to the paging, and this is based on the paging response rule. Because when the multi-SIM UE decides to respond to the paging message of the second system, it needs to stop the work currently being carried out on the first system. If there is a lack of a suspension mechanism for the current activity, the UE will automatically disconnect the RRC connection with the first system and leave. And when the UE leaves, the first system will continuously page the UE, resulting in a waste of paging resources. Therefore, the UE reports multi-SIM card information to facilitate the base station to send the paging response rule to respond to the paging message. The paging response rule can also be configured by the UE according to user instructions and can be reported by the UE to the base station. If it is found that the paging message of the second system is not responded to in time, the base station can determine the reason for the non-response in time according to the paging response rule, or determine the appropriate paging message to be sent to the SIM of the second system according to the paging response configured by the UE and the multi-SIM card information in the UE.

[0058] In some embodiments, the UE supports reporting multi-SIM card information, that is, has the ability to report multi-SIM card information, then the base station can send a reporting configuration to the UE, and the reporting configuration can be used to indicate whether the UE is allowed to report multi-SIM card information and / or how to report multi-SIM card information.

[0059] In other embodiments, regardless of whether the UE supports reporting multi-SIM card information, that is, regardless of whether the UE has the ability to report multi-SIM card information, the base station will send a reporting configuration to the UE based on the received reporting ability information. If the UE does not support reporting multi-SIM card information, the reporting configuration indicates that the UE is prohibited from reporting multi-SIM card information or the UE does not need to report multi-SIM card information. If the UE supports reporting multi-SIM card information, the reporting configuration can be the configuration information sent by the base station according to whether the UE needs to report and the SIM card information that needs to be reported by the UE.

[0060] The SIM card information includes: one or more pieces of information describing the SIM card, for example, including but not limited to the card identifier and / or card status information of the SIM card.

[0061] As Figure 3 shown, the method further includes:

[0062] S220: Receive the reporting configuration sent based on the reporting ability information; wherein, the reporting configuration is at least used for the UE to determine whether to report the SIM card information.

[0063] In some embodiments, the reporting configuration may include at least one bit. For example, one bit in the reporting configuration is dedicated to indicating whether the UE is allowed to report multi-SIM card information.

[0064] In some other embodiments, the reporting configuration further includes: other configurations for instructing the UE to report multi-SIM card information, for example, time-frequency resources for reporting multi-SIM card information, etc. At this time, the reporting configuration may not specifically carry a bit indicating that the UE is allowed to report multi-SIM card information. Instead, when the reporting configuration carries configuration information for controlling how the UE reports multi-SIM card information, it can be defaulted that the UE is allowed to report multi-SIM card information. If multiple indication bits of the reporting configuration are preset sequence values, it can be considered that the reporting configuration does not carry configuration information for controlling how the UE reports SIM card information. At this time, it can be considered that the base station does not allow the UE to report multi-SIM card information.

[0065] In some embodiments, S220 may include: receiving the reporting configuration sent by the base station when it determines that the UE has the multi-SIM card information reporting capability according to the reporting capability information. If the UE does not indicate multi-SIM card information reporting, the base station may not send the reporting configuration, further reducing the signaling overhead of the base station.

[0066] In some embodiments, the reporting configuration includes at least one of the following:

[0067] Reporting permission information, used to indicate whether the UE is allowed to report the SIM card information;

[0068] Reporting time limit information, used to indicate the reporting time limit of the SIM card information;

[0069] Reporting condition information, used to indicate the reporting conditions of the SIM card information;

[0070] Reporting content information, used to indicate the reporting content of the SIM card information;

[0071] Reporting format information, used to indicate the information format of the SIM card information.

[0072] If the reporting permission information indicates that the UE has the reporting permission, it means that the UE is allowed to report multi-SIM card information; if the reporting permission information indicates that the UE does not have the reporting permission, it means that the UE is prohibited from reporting multi-SIM card information. For example, the reporting permission information can be indicated by different bit values carried by at least one bit.

[0073] Reporting time limit information is used to limit the time requirements that the UE needs to meet when reporting multi-SIM card information, reducing phenomena such as large interference in the wireless environment caused by unnecessary reporting of the UE and a large amount of information that the base station needs to decode.

[0074] For example, the reporting time limit information may include: time information indicating that the UE is allowed to report; and / or time information indicating that the UE is prohibited from reporting. If the reporting time limit information contains the time information allowing the UE to report, when the UE is allowed to report the multi-SIM card information, the multi-SIM card information is reported within the time period indicated by the time information. If the reporting implementation information contains the time information prohibiting the UE from reporting, when the UE is allowed to report the multi-SIM card information, the multi-SIM card information is reported at other reporting opportunities outside the time period indicated by the time information.

[0075] There is at least one SIM in the UE. When reporting the SIM card information, it is not necessary to report all the SIM card information. For example, some SIMs are in the off state, and there is no SIM inserted in some SIM slots, and the information of these SIM cards cannot be reported or does not need to be reported.

[0076] At this time, the base station can indicate the reporting conditions of the SIM card information required to be reported to the UE through the reporting condition information.

[0077] The reporting content information can be used to indicate to the UE what to report. For example, only the card identifier or card status information needs to be reported, or both the card identifier and card status information need to be reported.

[0078] The reporting format information indicates the format used for the SIM card information. In this way, the SIM card information encoded according to this reporting format is convenient for the base station to decode.

[0079] For example, the reporting time limit information includes:

[0080] Blocking timer information, including: timing information of the blocking timer that prohibits the reporting of the SIM card information;

[0081] and / or

[0082] Trigger timer information, including: timing information of the trigger timer that allows the reporting of the SIM card information.

[0083] The blocking timer information is used to trigger the UE to set a blocking timer. During the timing time of the blocking timer, the UE is prohibited from reporting the SIM card information.

[0084] The trigger timer information is used to trigger the UE to set a trigger timer. During the timing time of the trigger timer, if the UE needs to report the SIM card information, it can report the SIM card information.

[0085] In some embodiments, the start timing time of the blocking timer and / or the trigger timer starts timing after receiving the reporting configuration, and in other embodiments, it can also start at the start time indicated by the reporting configuration.

[0086] Both the blocking timer and / or the triggering timer can work periodically. For example, in the time domain, time is divided into multiple reporting periods. There is one blocking timer and / or one triggering timer within one reporting period, and the starting timing time of both the blocking timer and / or the triggering timer can be determined in advance according to protocol agreements or through negotiation with the base station. It can also be that the starting time of its blocking timer or triggering timer is the starting time of a reporting period.

[0087] If the reporting time limit information includes both blocking timer information and triggering timer information simultaneously, the timing periods of the blocking timer and the triggering timer are different.

[0088] When the base station issues a reporting configuration, if the UE starts the blocking timer and / or the triggering timer according to the reporting configuration, the base station can also start the timing of the blocking timer and / or the triggering timer according to its own configured reporting configuration, so as to know when to receive the SIM card information reported by the UE.

[0089] The timing duration of the blocking timer and the timing information of the triggering timer and / or the timing information of the triggering timer can include at least one of the following:

[0090] Indication information of the starting time;

[0091] Indication information of the timing duration;

[0092] Indication information for terminating the timing;

[0093] Indication information on whether to perform periodic timing.

[0094] In some embodiments, the reporting condition information includes:

[0095] First condition information, used to indicate the subscriber identity module (SIM) card information for which reporting is enabled;

[0096] Or

[0097] Second condition information, used to indicate the SIM card information for which reporting is disabled;

[0098] Or

[0099] Third condition information, used to indicate the SIM cards for which reporting is enabled and disabled.

[0100] In some cases, the base station only wants to know the SIM card information of the SIMs that are currently in the enabled state within the UE. At this time, the reporting configuration information can carry the first condition information, which indicates that when the UE reports the SIM card information, it only reports the SIM card information of the enabled SIMs. The information of the enabled SIM card: is the information of the SIM card in the enabled state.

[0101] The second conditional information indicates the SIM card information reported by the UE as being turned off. In this way, the base station knows which SIMs in the UE are currently in the off state. The SIMs in the off state may not compete with the SIMs in the on state for the hardware resources within the UE. The information on the SIM card in the off state is: the information of the SIM card in the off state.

[0102] The third conditional information instructs the UE to report information on each of its SIM cards, regardless of whether each SIM is currently in the on state or the off state, so as to facilitate the base station to comprehensively understand the card states of each SIM within the UE.

[0103] In some embodiments, the reported content information is used to indicate the reported card identifier and / or card state information.

[0104] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0105] In response to the reporting configuration allowing the UE to report the SIM card information, at least one SIM card information within the UE is reported according to the reporting configuration.

[0106] When it is determined according to the reporting permission information in the reporting configuration that the UE is allowed to report the SIM card information, at least one SIM card information within the UE will be reported according to the reporting configuration. For example, according to the reporting time limit information in the reporting configuration, within the timing period of the triggered timer or outside the timing period of the blocked timer, at least one SIM card information determined according to the reporting conditions is reported. The specific content included in the SIM card information can be determined according to the reported content information. The information format adopted by the SIM card information can be determined according to the reporting format, that is, the format with the least reported format information is adopted.

[0107] In some embodiments, S220 includes:

[0108] Report at least one SIM card information within the UE by using Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.

[0109] In the embodiments of the present application, the UE reports at least one SIM card information within the UE by using RRC signaling. For example, specifically, the User Equipment Assistance Information signaling in the RRC signaling can be used.

[0110] Using RRC signaling for SIM card information reporting has the characteristic of strong flexibility in RRC signaling transmission.

[0111] In some other embodiments, the UE may also report the SIM card information according to the reporting configuration, using uplink control information (UCI) or MAC layer signaling; it is not limited to reporting via RRC signaling. Reporting via RRC signaling is equivalent to modifying the UCI at the physical layer or the MAC layer signaling of the MAC, which has the characteristics of low signaling modification difficulty and strong compatibility with related technologies.

[0112] In some embodiments, the UE using radio resource control (RRC) signaling to report at least one SIM card information within the UE includes:

[0113] Reporting at least one SIM card information within the UE using (UE Assistance Information) in the RRC signaling.

[0114] For example, the UE may newly add a multi-subscriber identity module information (MUSIM Information) information element in the user equipment assistance information signaling and carry at least one SIM card information within the UE therein.

[0115] After the card status of the multi-card terminal changes, the multi-card terminal can send the latest multi-SIM card information to the base station via the user equipment assistance information (UE Assistance Information) signaling when meeting the reporting configuration configured by the base station.

[0116] In some embodiments, the S210 may include:

[0117] Reporting the reporting capability information using the user equipment evolved universal terrestrial radio access capability (UE-EUTRA-Capability) signaling;

[0118] Or,

[0119] Reporting the reporting capability information using the user equipment new radio capability (UE-NR-Capability) signaling.

[0120] If the network accessed by the UE is a 4G network, the UE-EUTRA-Capability signaling is used to send the reporting capability information. If the network accessed by the UE is a 5G network, the UE-NR-Capability signaling is used to send the reporting capability information.

[0121] In this way, regardless of whether the UE is accessing a 4G network or a 5G network, the existing RRC signaling in related technologies can be reused to send the reporting capability information, rather than rewriting and designing a new RRC signaling, thus having the characteristics of strong compatibility with related technologies and simple implementation.

[0122] The UE-EUTRA-Capability signaling and UE-NR-Capability signaling can both be signaling in related technologies for a terminal to report other capabilities of the terminal. In the embodiments of this application, the reserved sequence of idle bits or occupied bits in any one of these two signaling is reused to carry the SIM card information, thereby making better use of the existing RRC signaling. For example, the UE-EUTRA-Capability signaling and UE-NR-Capability signaling can be used to report various capabilities of the terminal, such as whether the terminal supports multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and whether it supports beam transmission. In the embodiments of this application, one or both of the UE-EUTRA-Capability signaling and UE-NR-Capability signaling are also used to send a capability report indicating whether the terminal supports SIM card information reporting.

[0123] In some embodiments, the S220 may include:

[0124] Receiving an RRC reconfiguration signaling carrying the reporting configuration and sent based on the reported capability information;

[0125] Or,

[0223] A specific example is provided below in combination with any one of the above embodiments:

[0224] Example 1:

[0225] This example proposes a method for providing UE information and status. First, a multi-SIM UE needs to report to the base station via RRC signaling whether it supports the reporting capability information for reporting SIM card information within the multi-SIM UE.

[0226] For example, for a 4G network, the RRC signaling can be a UE-EUTRA-Capability signaling, and the reporting capability information can be carried in the OtherParameters information element in the UE-EUTRA-Capability signaling.

[0227] For a 5G network, the RRC signaling can be a UE-NR-Capability signaling, so the reporting capability information can be carried in the UE-NR-Capability signaling.

[0228] After the base station obtains the reporting capability information sent by the multi-SIM UE, it performs a reporting configuration for the multi-SIM UE to report SIM card information via RRC signaling. The reporting configuration includes at least one of the following:

[0229] Reporting permission information indicating whether the UE is allowed to report SIM card information;

[0230] Indication information on the requirements for reporting SIM card information and status within the multi-SIM UE (such as the duration of the multi-SIM card information and status reporting blocking timer), and this indication information is the reporting time limit information;

[0231] Conditions for reporting SIM card information and status within the multi-SIM UE (such as only reporting when the SIM is on, or only reporting when the SIM is off, or reporting when the SIM is on or off);

[0232] Indication information on the reporting content of SIM card information within the multi-SIM UE, that is, the aforementioned reporting content information;

[0233] Indicator information for the reporting format of SIM card information in a multi-SIM UE, i.e., the aforementioned reporting format information.

[0234] For a 4G network, this RRC signaling can be the RRC Connection Reconfiguration signaling. For example, the reporting configuration can be carried in the Other Config information element in the RRC Connection Reconfiguration signaling.

[0235] For a 5G network, this RRC signaling can be the RRC Reconfiguration signaling. For example, the reporting configuration can be carried in the Other Config information element in the RRC Reconfiguration signaling.

[0236] After a multi-SIM UE supporting the ability to report multi-SIM card information and status receives the reporting configuration, if the base station allows it to report SIM card information, the multi-SIM UE can report its SIM card information to the base station via RRC signaling after obtaining the SIM card information.

[0237] This RRC signaling can be the UE Assistance Information signaling. Specifically, a new MUSIM Information information element can be added to the UE Assistance Information signaling to carry the SIM card information.

[0238] After the multi-SIM card information and status of a multi-SIM UE change, the multi-SIM UE can update the SIM card information with status via the UE Assistance Information signaling when it meets the reporting configuration configured by the base station.

[0239] The base station can know that a certain multi-SIM UE includes multiple SIMs, can know the information of multiple SIM cards as needed, and can further configure the multi-SIM UE using the information of multiple cards to reduce the occurrence of the above error events. Moreover, the base station can also know the latest information and status of the multi-SIM UE and can configure the UE accordingly based on the latest information and status of the multi-SIM UE.
