[0091] Figure 13 This is a block diagram of an electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0092] 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 this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0093] In related technologies, to ensure service continuity, cell reselection is performed when the primary SIM card of the terminal is at the cell edge of its serving cell, and when the secondary SIM card of the terminal is at the cell edge of its serving cell. For example, RRM (Radio Resource Management) is used to continuously measure the signal strength of the serving cell and neighboring cells, and the serving cell of the primary or secondary SIM card is re-determined based on the measurement results.

[0094] In the above method, when the secondary card enters the cell edge of its serving cell, it will frequently measure the signal strength and switch serving cells, resulting in high terminal power consumption and large power consumption.

[0095] To address the above technical issues, this disclosure provides a serving cell measurement method. In this method, when the secondary SIM card of a terminal is at the edge of a serving cell, if the terminal's mobility status information is less than a preset range and the secondary SIM card's communication is normal, then cell reselection is not performed on the secondary SIM card. This reduces the power consumption caused by the secondary SIM card performing cell reselection and lowers the power consumption of the terminal using this method.

[0096] To facilitate understanding, the application scenario of this disclosure is first described. For multi-SIM terminals, the data traffic channel can only be established on one SIM card. The SIM card that receives data traffic is typically called the primary card, and the SIM card that does not receive data traffic is called the secondary card. For the secondary card, as... Figure 1 As shown, when the secondary SIM card 10 is close to the base station of its serving cell, that is, in the central area of ​​the serving cell, the signal strength is relatively strong, such as... Figure 2 As shown, when the secondary SIM card 10 moves to a distance from the base station of its serving cell, that is, it is in the edge area of ​​the serving cell, and the signal strength is weak at this time.

[0097] This disclosure provides a serving cell measurement method, applied to the serving cell measurement process of a terminal secondary SIM card located at the edge of a serving cell, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0098] S100. Determine the communication status information of the secondary card. The communication status information is used to characterize the paging message reception status of the secondary card.

[0099] In this step, if the secondary card can receive paging messages normally, it means that the secondary card's communication status is normal; if the secondary card cannot receive paging messages normally, it means that the secondary card's communication status is abnormal.

[0100] S200. Determine the mobility status information of the terminal. The mobility status information is used to characterize the range of motion of the terminal relative to the serving cell.

[0101] S300: When the communication status information is in a normal state and the mobility status information is less than the preset range, cell reselection will not be performed on the secondary card.

[0102] In this embodiment, reference Figure 4 As shown, by determining the terminal's mobility status information, it is determined whether the terminal is undergoing large-scale movement. By determining the secondary SIM card's communication status information, it is determined whether the secondary SIM card is currently communicating normally. If the secondary SIM card is currently communicating normally and the terminal is not undergoing large-scale movement, it means that although the secondary SIM card is at the cell edge, it can still maintain relatively stable communication. Therefore, cell reselection is not performed on the secondary SIM card. That is, the terminal will not measure the signal strength of the serving cell and neighboring cells of the secondary SIM card, nor will it re-determine the serving cell, thereby reducing the power consumption caused by cell reselection by the secondary SIM card, and thus reducing the terminal's power consumption. In addition, when users use data services through the primary SIM card, the probability of the secondary SIM card's antenna resources being occupied can be reduced, improving the user's data service experience and reducing data lag and data interruption.

[0103] It is understandable that the movement status information mentioned in step S300 being less than the preset range could mean that the terminal is in a stationary state, i.e., the terminal has not moved, or that the terminal has moved within the preset range, i.e., the terminal has moved but has not exceeded the preset range.

[0104] Since paging message reception has a fixed period, such as 1280ms, the communication status can be determined by whether the secondary card can receive each paging message at the normal reception period within a predetermined time period. If the secondary card receives paging messages continuously and densely with a fixed paging frequency, it means that the secondary card can receive paging messages normally, i.e., the secondary card's communication status is normal. If there are missing paging messages, it means that the secondary card cannot receive paging messages normally, i.e., the secondary card's communication status is abnormal.

[0105] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the communication status information in step S100 can be determined in the following way:

[0106] S110. Obtain the number of paging messages received by the secondary card within a first preset time period;

[0107] S120. If the number of paging messages reaches the preset number, then the communication status information is determined to be in a normal state.

[0108] S130. If the number of paging messages does not reach the preset number, the communication status information is determined to be in an abnormal state.

[0109] In this embodiment, the communication status information of the secondary card is determined by judging whether it can receive all paging messages within a first preset time period. The first preset time period can be an integer multiple of the receiving cycle of the secondary card. The value obtained by dividing the first preset time period by the receiving cycle is the preset number. If the number of received paging messages reaches the preset number, it means that the secondary card has received all paging messages and the communication status information of the secondary card is in a normal state. If the number of received paging messages does not reach the preset number, it means that the secondary card has missed some calls and the communication status information of the secondary card is in an abnormal state.

[0110] In another embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the communication status information in step S100 can also be determined in the following ways:

[0111] S140. Obtain the parsing result information of the paging messages received by the sub-card within the second preset time period;

[0112] S150. If the parsing result indicates that all parsing was successful, then the communication status information is determined to be in a normal state.

[0113] S160. If the parsing result indicates partial parsing failure, then the communication status information is determined to be in an abnormal state.

[0114] In this embodiment, the communication status of the secondary card is determined based on the physical layer's parsing of the received paging messages. If parsing is successful, meaning all received paging messages can be parsed, the communication status of the secondary card is normal. If parsing fails, the communication status of the secondary card is abnormal. Of course, it is understood that in other embodiments, the communication status can be determined simultaneously based on the number of received paging messages and the parsing results. As an example, the communication status information in step S100 is determined as follows:

[0115] S1010. Obtain the number of paging messages received by the secondary card within a first preset time period;

[0116] S1020. Obtain the parsing result information of the paging messages received by the secondary card within the second preset time period;

[0117] S1030. If the number of paging messages reaches the preset number and the parsing result information is that all parsing was successful, then the communication status information is determined to be in a normal state.

[0118] S1040. If the number of paging messages does not reach the preset number, or the parsing result information shows partial parsing failure, then the communication status information is determined to be in an abnormal state.

[0119] In step S200, the terminal's mobility status information can be determined based on the terminal's GPS positioning information. In one embodiment, the mobility status information is determined in the following way:

[0120] Within the third preset time period, the GPS coordinates of the terminal are acquired at regular intervals. The largest circumcircle of all acquired GPS coordinates is calculated, and this largest circumcircle is determined as the terminal's movement status information.

[0121] In this embodiment, when determining whether the movement status information is less than a preset range, it can be determined whether the radius of the largest circumscribed circle obtained by the above method is less than the preset radius. If so, it is determined that the movement status information is less than the preset range, which means that the terminal has not made a large-scale movement. Otherwise, it is determined that the movement status information is greater than or equal to the preset range, which means that the terminal has made a large-scale movement.

[0122] In another embodiment, the terminal's movement status information is determined based on a pedometer and a gyroscope, thereby improving the accuracy of the acquired movement status information. As an example, the movement status information is determined in the following manner:

[0123] Within the fourth preset time period, based on the gyroscope's detection information, it is determined whether the terminal has moved and the direction of its movement.

[0124] The distance traveled by the terminal is determined based on the pedometer;

[0125] Based on the distance the terminal moves as determined by the pedometer and the direction of movement as determined by the gyroscope, the trajectory of the terminal within the fourth preset time period is determined.

[0126] Based on the motion trajectory, the maximum circumcircle of the motion trajectory is determined, and this maximum circumcircle is used to determine the terminal's motion status information.

[0127] Similarly, in this embodiment, it is determined whether the radius of the largest circumscribed circle obtained by the above method is less than a preset radius. If it is, it is determined that the movement status information is less than a preset range; otherwise, it is determined that the movement status information is greater than or equal to a preset range.

[0128] The serving cell measurement method provided in one embodiment of this disclosure further includes the following steps:

[0129] S400. When the mobile status information is greater than or equal to the preset range, or when the communication status information is in an abnormal state, cell reselection is performed on the secondary card.

[0130] In this step, if the terminal's mobility status information is greater than or equal to a preset range, it indicates that the terminal has undergone extensive movement. In this case, the secondary SIM card needs to perform cell reselection to avoid affecting its normal communication. If the secondary SIM card's communication status information is in an abnormal state, it means that the secondary SIM card is unable to receive paging messages normally. To avoid affecting the secondary SIM card's normal communication, cell reselection is also required to enable the secondary SIM card to resume normal paging message reception as soon as possible and prevent the secondary SIM card from being used normally.

[0131] Normally, the secondary SIM card enters an idle state, also known as a standby state, when there is no service. In one embodiment, when the secondary SIM card is in the idle state, the serving cell measurement method described in the above embodiments is executed. If the secondary SIM card is in use, for example, during a call, when the secondary SIM card is detected to be at the edge of the serving cell, cell reselection is performed directly on the secondary SIM card to ensure normal communication of the secondary SIM card.

[0132] In some embodiments, the secondary SIM card may not have any neighboring cells configured. If no neighboring cells are configured, the secondary SIM card can only communicate with the current serving cell. Therefore, it is not necessary to determine whether the communication status information is normal or whether the mobility status information is below a preset range. That is, when the secondary SIM card is at the edge of the serving cell, it is first determined whether the secondary SIM card has any neighboring cells configured. If so, the serving cell measurement method described above is executed; otherwise, it is directly determined that no cell reselection will be performed.

[0133] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the method for determining whether the secondary SIM card is at the edge of the serving cell is as follows:

[0134] S10. Obtain the signal strength information of the serving cell of the secondary SIM card;

[0135] S20. If the signal strength information of the secondary card is less than the preset strength, then it is determined that the secondary card is at the edge of the serving cell.

[0136] For example, the signal strength information can be path loss information. If the path loss information is higher than a first preset value, the secondary SIM card is determined to be at the edge of the serving cell; if the path loss information is equal to or lower than the first preset value, the secondary SIM card is determined not to be at the edge of the serving cell. The signal strength information can also be Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP) information. If the reference signal receiving power information is lower than a second preset value, the secondary SIM card is determined to be at the edge of the serving cell; if the reference signal receiving power information is equal to or higher than the second preset value, the secondary SIM card is determined not to be at the edge of the serving cell. Alternatively, both path loss information and reference signal receiving power information can be used to determine whether the secondary SIM card is at the edge of the serving cell. For example, if the path loss information is higher than the first preset value and the reference signal receiving power information is lower than the second preset value, the secondary SIM card is determined to be at the edge of the serving cell; if the path loss information is equal to or lower than the first preset value and the reference signal receiving power information is equal to or higher than the second preset value, the secondary SIM card is determined not to be at the edge of the serving cell.

[0137] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the methods for cell reselection for secondary SIM cards include:

[0138] S310. Obtain the first signal strength information of the serving cell of the secondary SIM card;

[0139] S320: Obtain the second signal strength information of the neighboring cells of the secondary SIM card;

[0140] S330. Compare the first signal strength information and the second signal strength information to obtain the comparison result;

[0141] S340. Based on the comparison results, redetermine the serving cell of the secondary SIM card.

[0142] In this embodiment, both the first signal strength information and the second signal strength information can be path loss information or reference signal received power information. For details, please refer to the above embodiment of the process for determining whether the secondary card is at the edge of the serving cell, which will not be repeated here.

[0143] In step S330, the first signal strength information and the second signal strength information can be directly compared. If the first signal strength information is greater than or equal to the second signal strength information, the serving cell of the secondary card is not changed. If the first signal strength information is less than the second signal strength information, the neighboring cell with the larger signal strength is determined as the serving cell of the secondary card.

[0144] In another embodiment, when the first signal strength information is less than the second signal strength information and the signal strength difference is greater than a preset difference, the serving cell of the secondary card is switched, thereby avoiding frequent switching of the serving cell and further reducing the power consumption of the terminal.

[0145] In one embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figure 9 As shown, the serving cell measurement methods include:

[0146] S510. Determine the communication status information of the secondary card. The communication status information is used to characterize the paging message reception status of the secondary card.

[0147] S520. Determine the terminal's mobility status information, which is used to characterize the range of motion of the terminal relative to the serving cell.

[0148] S530. Determine the working status information of the terminal's main card. The working status information is used to characterize the data volume requirements of the main card.

[0149] S540: When the mobile status information is less than the preset range, the communication status information is in a normal state, and the primary card's working status information is in a high data demand state, cell reselection is not performed on the secondary card.

[0150] In this embodiment, when the secondary SIM card is at the edge of the serving cell, the primary SIM card's operating status information is also used as one of the factors in determining whether to perform cell reselection. When the primary SIM card's current operating status indicates high data demand, if the secondary SIM card performs cell reselection, it will occupy the channel and affect the primary SIM card's data service. Therefore, cell reselection is not performed on the secondary SIM card while ensuring normal communication. Conversely, when the primary SIM card's current operating status indicates low data demand, cell reselection by the secondary SIM card will not affect the primary SIM card's data service. In this case, cell reselection is performed on the secondary SIM card to further ensure normal communication.

[0151] Steps S510, S520, and S530 are similar to the aforementioned steps S100, S200, and S300, and will not be described again here.

[0152] In one embodiment, such as Figure 10 As shown, the working status information of the master card in step S530 can be determined in the following way:

[0153] S531, Obtain the primary card's data usage information;

[0154] S532. If the traffic information reaches the preset traffic, then the working status information of the main card is determined to be a high data demand state.

[0155] S533. If the traffic information does not reach the preset traffic, the working status information of the main card is determined to be a low data demand state.

[0156] In this embodiment, the working status information of the primary card is determined based on the amount of data traffic. If the primary card's data traffic is high, it is in a high data demand state; if the primary card's data traffic is low, it is in a low data demand state. For example, the terminal counts the current uplink and downlink data volume and defines this current volume as the data traffic information.

[0157] In another embodiment, such as Figure 11 As shown, the working status information of the master card in step S530 can also be determined in the following ways:

[0158] S534. Obtain configuration information. The configuration information is used to characterize the correspondence between the application and the data volume requirements.

[0159] S535, Obtain application information regarding the amount of data used by the primary card;

[0160] S536. Based on configuration information and application information regarding the amount of data used by the main card, determine the working status information of the main card.

[0161] Different applications have varying degrees of data sensitivity; some applications require a large amount of data, such as short video apps, apps requiring real-time data interaction, and live streaming apps, while others require less data, such as e-books. Therefore, the working status information of the primary card can be determined based on the data requirements of the applications currently using it. In this embodiment, a correspondence between applications and data requirements is established. For example, short video apps have high data requirements, live streaming apps have high data requirements, and e-book apps have low data requirements. This allows for easy determination of data requirements based on the application information currently using the primary card. For instance, if the application currently using the primary card's data is a short video app, the working status information of the primary card can be determined to be a high data requirement state by looking up the configuration information; if the application currently using the primary card's data is an e-book app, the working status information of the primary card can be determined to be a low data requirement state by looking up the configuration information.

[0162] Of course, it is understood that in other embodiments, the working status information of the primary card can also be determined based on both the primary card's traffic information and the application information of the primary card's data volume.
