[0002] With the development of mobile communication technology, terminals equipped with two SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) cards are becoming more and more popular. At present, the two SIM cards configured in the terminal usually share a set of terminal hardware resources (generally reuse the maximum capacity of a single card). Due to the limitation of radio frequency hardware resources, the probability of conflict between the neighboring area measurement scheduling of one card initiating voice service / data service / signaling process / neighboring area measurement and the neighboring area measurement scheduling of another card is greatly increased.

The resource allocation method proposed in the present disclosure can be executed by a terminal or by a chip or processor of the terminal.

[0045] The data processing method proposed in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] Figure 1 A method flow chart of a resource allocation method proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the method is executed by a terminal, the terminal supports a first communication card and a second communication card, and the method includes the following steps:

[0047] Step 101, when there is a conflict between the initial communication resources of the first communication card and the initial communication resources of the second communication card, determine the priority levels of the first communication card and the second communication card according to a preset rule.

[0048] In some embodiments, the initial communication resources of the first communication card and the initial communication resources of the second communication card may be determined respectively according to the neighboring cell measurement configuration information and the current state.

[0049] In some embodiments, the communication resource may be a frequency domain resource time slice (RF resource time slice). The RF resource time slice is the starting positioning frame of the frequency domain resource.

[0050] In some embodiments, the initial communication resources and step size information of the first communication card are determined based on the neighboring area measurement configuration information of the first communication card and the current state of the first communication card; the initial communication resources and step size information of the second communication card are determined based on the neighboring area measurement configuration information of the second communication card and the current state of the second communication card, and the neighboring area measurement configuration information includes at least one of a neighboring area list, a measurement period, a measurement window, and a measurement gap GAP.

[0051] In some embodiments, the current state includes at least one of an active state and an idle state, wherein the active state indicates that the communication card is making a call or transmitting data; and the idle state indicates that the communication card is not making a call or transmitting data.

[0052] In some embodiments, when the current state is an activated state, determining the initial communication resources and step information based on the neighboring cell measurement configuration information can be based on pre-set parameters such as the measurement period, measurement window, measurement gap GAP in the activated state, and the neighboring cell list in the activated state, and calculating the corresponding communication resources. The step information can be a multiple of the measurement gap period.

[0053] For example, in the activated state / connected state, the measurement interval is 6 ms, and the step size may be 40 ms or 80 ms.

[0054] In some embodiments, when the current state is an idle state, determining the initial communication resources and step information based on the neighboring cell measurement configuration information can be based on a pre-set measurement period in the idle state, calculating the corresponding communication resources, and the step information can be autonomously planned by the terminal between paging cycles.

[0055] For example, the paging cycle is 1.28 s and the paging window is 20 ms, and the step size can be independently planned in the time outside the paging window in the paging cycle.

[0056] In some embodiments, the communication resources may be time slice information of RF (radio frequency) resources used by a communication card for neighboring cell measurements, wherein the time slice may calculate the RF resources required for neighboring cell measurements within a period of time based on a measurement period and a measurement window as well as a current neighboring cell list. The measurement period indicates the time interval for a mobile device to perform neighboring cell signal measurements, which may be configured to be 5ms, 10ms, 20ms, 40ms, 80ms, or 160ms, etc. The measurement window indicates an SSB time window that may be used for measurement, and the measurement window may be set based on the number of SSBs transmitted by the measured cell, and its value may be set to be 1ms, 2ms, 3ms, 4ms, or 5ms, etc.

[0057] In some embodiments, the step size information may be an interval of communication resources for performing neighbor cell measurements.

[0058] For example, the step length information in the activated state can be a multiple of the measurement gap period. For example, if the measurement gap period is 40ms, the step length can be n×40ms, where n is an integer. The step length information in the idle state can be the time period between two paging cycles. For example, if the paging cycle is 1.28s, the step length can be autonomously planned between the two paging cycles.

[0059] For example, the dual cards calculate the time slice information and Step size information of the RF resources used for the respective neighboring cell measurements according to their respective neighboring cell measurement configurations.

[0060] In some embodiments, after the first communication card and the second communication card have determined their respective communication resources and step size information, they perform preemptive registration processing for communication resources, and the communication resources adopt a first-come-first-served mechanism. When there is no conflict between the communication resources of the first communication card and the communication resources of the second communication card, they return success according to their respective applied communication resources, and perform their respective neighboring area measurement frame scheduling. However, if there is a conflict between the communication resources of the first communication card and the communication resources of the second communication card, it is necessary to determine the priority levels of the first communication card and the second communication card according to preset rules.

[0061] In some embodiments, the preset rules include: the priority level of the communication card corresponding to the current activation state is higher than the priority level of the communication card corresponding to the current idle state; the priority level of the communication card corresponding to the service type of voice service is higher than the priority level of the communication card corresponding to the service type of signaling process; the priority level of the communication card corresponding to the service type of voice service or signaling process is higher than the priority level of the communication card corresponding to the service type of data service.

[0062] In some embodiments, the service type of voice service indicates that the communication card is making a voice call; the service type of signaling process may be a series of signals and instructions when the terminal device interacts with the network through messages; the service type of data service indicates that the communication card is in the process of transmitting messages.

[0063] In some embodiments, according to preset rules, the priority levels of the first communication card and the second communication card can be determined as follows: when the first communication card is in an activated state and the second communication card is in an idle state, the first communication card has a high priority and the second communication card has a low priority; when the service type of the first communication card is a voice service and the second communication card is in a signaling process, the first communication card has a high priority and the second communication card has a low priority; when the service type of the first communication card is a voice service or a signaling process and the second communication card is in a data service, the first communication card has a high priority and the second communication card has a low priority. Otherwise, the first communication card has a low priority and the second communication card has a high priority.

[0064] In the above embodiment, the priority levels of the first communication card and the second communication card are determined according to preset rules, which avoids the irrationality of determining the priority levels based solely on the insertion positions of the communication cards. Instead, the priority levels of the communication cards are determined based on the current status and service type, resulting in a more reasonable result.

[0065] Step 102: Determine the target communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the lower priority level according to the priority levels of the first communication card and the second communication card.

[0066] In some embodiments, according to the priority levels of the first communication card and the second communication card, determining the target communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the low priority can be to determine the communication resource adjustment strategy of the communication card corresponding to the low priority according to the current state of the communication card corresponding to the high priority, and the communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the low priority have been determined.

[0067] In some embodiments, determining the target communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the low priority based on the priority levels of the first communication card and the second communication card can be accomplished by determining the communication resource adjustment strategy of the communication card corresponding to the low priority based on the service type of the communication card corresponding to the high priority to determine the communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the low priority.

[0068] In some embodiments, the communication resource adjustment strategy for the communication card corresponding to the low priority is determined based on the current state. When all communication cards are in idle state, the initial communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the low priority are adjusted according to the neighboring area measurement configuration information to determine the target communication resources.

[0069] In some embodiments, determining the communication resource adjustment strategy of the communication card corresponding to the low priority according to the service type can be to set different adjustment strategies for different service types such as voice service, signaling process, data service, etc. of the communication card to determine the target communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the low priority.

[0070] In some embodiments, when the service type of the communication card corresponding to the high priority is voice service, since the voice service has the highest priority, the normal status of the voice service needs to be guaranteed. Therefore, the adjustment strategy may be to cancel the current service of the communication card corresponding to the low priority, that is, the communication card corresponding to the low priority does not execute the resource scheduling of this service; or it may be to adjust the initial communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the low priority so that it does not conflict with the initial communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the high priority, thereby achieving the service of the high priority communication card without affecting the high priority communication card and achieving the purpose of mobility management of the low priority communication card.

[0071] In some embodiments, when the service type of the communication card corresponding to the high priority is a signaling process, the adjustment strategy can be the same as the adjustment strategy of the voice service, or the same as the adjustment strategy of the data service, or different adjustment strategies can be set. For example, the initial communication resources of the low priority communication card can be adjusted according to a preset moving step so that the target communication resources do not conflict with the initial communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the high priority.

[0072] In some embodiments, when the service type of a high-priority communication card is a data service, the adjustment strategy may be to adjust the initial communication resources of a low-priority communication card according to a pre-set mobility rule so that the target communication resources do not conflict with the initial communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the high priority, thereby avoiding service loss of the high-priority communication card and realizing mobility management of the low-priority communication card.

[0073] In the above embodiment, when there is a conflict in the initial communication resources of the communication cards currently supported by the terminal, the priority level of each communication card is determined based on the preset rules, and the initial communication resources of the low-priority communication card are adjusted according to the current state or service type of the high-priority communication card to determine the target communication resources. This reduces the service loss of the high-priority communication card and ensures the mobility management of the low-priority communication card.

[0074] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a process for determining target communication resources according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 The embodiment shown, Figure 2 Step 102 is further defined as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0075] Step 201: When the service type of the communication card corresponding to the high priority is voice service / signaling process, the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority is changed from the current frequency point to the target frequency point.

[0076] In some embodiments, the target frequency and the current frequency are different frequencies.

[0077] In some embodiments, when the service type of the communication card corresponding to the high priority is voice service or signaling process, the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority can be replaced with a frequency that does not conflict with the initial communication resource corresponding to the high priority for neighboring area measurement scheduling.

[0078] For example, if one of the dual cards is for voice services or signaling processes, the other card changes the frequency that does not conflict with the RF resources to perform neighboring area measurement scheduling. After the RF resources for the dual-card neighboring area measurement are successfully applied for according to the adjusted resources, the dual-card neighboring area measurement frame scheduling is performed.

[0079] In some embodiments, when the service type of the communication card corresponding to the high priority is voice service or signaling process, the current service of the communication card corresponding to the low priority can be canceled, that is, no neighboring cell measurement scheduling is performed, and the application for communication resources is abandoned. After the high-priority communication card successfully applies for the initial communication resources, the neighboring cell measurement frame scheduling is performed.

[0080] In the above embodiment, when the service type of the communication card corresponding to the high priority is voice service or signaling process, the communication card corresponding to the low priority can adjust the communication resources by changing the frequency or canceling the current service to complete the determination of the target communication resources, so as to reduce the service loss of the high priority communication card and ensure the purpose of mobility management of the low priority communication card.

[0081] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a process for determining target communication resources according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1-Figure 2 The embodiment shown, Figure 3 right Figure 1 Step 102 in the further definition is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the following steps are also included.

[0082] Step 301: When the service type of the communication card corresponding to the high priority is a data service, determine the first communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority.

[0083] In some embodiments, the scheduling period of the first communication resource is greater than the scheduling period of the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority.

[0084] In some embodiments, when the service type of the communication card corresponding to the high priority is data service, the communication card corresponding to the low priority can be a data service or an idle state. For the communication card corresponding to the low priority, a relaxed measurement scheduling strategy can be used to determine the first communication resource.

[0085] In some embodiments, relaxing the measurement scheduling strategy may be to enlarge the neighboring cell measurement scheduling period, or to reduce the neighboring cell measurement scheduling density in static scenarios / low-speed scenarios, etc., so that the scheduling period of the first communication resource is greater than the scheduling period of the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority.

[0086] In some embodiments, enlarging the neighboring cell measurement scheduling period may be to enlarge the scheduling period of the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority by n times. For example, the scheduling period of the initial communication resource is 4, and the method is n times, n is 2, and the scheduling period of the first communication resource is 8.

[0087] In some embodiments, reducing the scheduling density of neighboring cell measurements can be in a static scenario or a low-speed scenario. Currently, there are ten frequency points, and the initial communication resources are scheduled once at each frequency point. After adjustment, only two frequency points are selected for scheduling, and other frequency points are not scheduled. In this case, the scheduling period of the first communication resource is larger than the scheduling period of the initial communication resource.

[0088] For example, if one of the dual cards is in a data service process, in order to reduce the impact of the neighboring area measurement of the other card on the service of one card, a relaxed measurement scheduling strategy is adopted, such as: method neighboring area measurement scheduling cycle, reducing neighboring area measurement scheduling in static scenarios / low-speed scenarios, etc.

[0089] Step 302: Conflict determination is performed between the first communication resource and the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the high priority.

[0090] In some embodiments, a conflict judgment is made between the first communication resource determined by enlarging the scheduling period and the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the high priority, and it can be determined whether the first communication resource and the initial communication resource overlap to determine whether the communication resource adjustment of the communication card corresponding to the low priority is completed.

[0091] In some embodiments, when the first communication resource conflicts with the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the high priority, the target communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority is determined according to the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority and the first step length information.

[0092] In some embodiments, the conflict may be that the first communication resource application time slice overlaps with the initial communication resource application time slice of the communication card corresponding to the high priority. Figure 7BAs shown in the schematic diagram, the RF resource time slice of card 0 is the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the high priority, and card 1 is the first communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority. If the RF resource time slices of card 0 and card 1 overlap, it is necessary to further adjust the communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the low priority so that they do not conflict with the initial communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the high priority.

[0093] In some embodiments, the first step length information may be step length information of a communication card corresponding to a low priority level, which indicates the step length.

[0094] In some embodiments, based on the initial communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the low priority and the first step length information, determining the target communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the low priority can be to adjust the initial communication resources according to the first step length information so that the adjusted target communication resources do not conflict with the initial communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the high priority.

[0095] Step 303: when there is no conflict between the first communication resource and the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the high priority, determine the first communication resource as the target communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority.

[0096] In some embodiments, when there is no conflict between the first communication resource and the communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the high priority, it means that the communication resource adjustment of the communication card corresponding to the low priority is completed, and the communication card corresponding to the high priority and the communication card corresponding to the low priority can each apply for a time slice according to the determined communication resources to perform neighboring area measurement frame scheduling.

[0097] In the above embodiment, when the service type of the high-priority communication card is data service, the initial communication resources of the low-priority communication card can be adjusted according to the relaxed measurement scheduling strategy. When the adjusted communication resources do not conflict with the initial communication resources of the high-priority communication card, the target communication resources are obtained and the allocation of communication resources is completed, thereby avoiding the loss of high-priority services and managing the mobility of low-priority services.

[0098] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a process for determining target communication resources proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1-Figure 2 The embodiment shown, Figure 4 right Figure 1 Step 102 in the further definition is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the following steps are also included.

[0099] Step 401: when the current state of the communication card corresponding to the high priority is an idle state, determine the first communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority according to the measurement cycle.

[0100] In some embodiments, when the current state of the communication card corresponding to the high priority is an idle state, the current state of the communication card corresponding to the low priority is also an idle state. Then, according to the measurement period, the first communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority is determined, wherein the measurement period may be the measurement period configured in the neighboring area measurement configuration information.

[0101] For example, when the service of one of the dual SIM cards is neither a voice service / signaling process nor a data service, but is in an idle state, the neighboring cell measurement is scheduled according to the measurement scheduling period.

[0102] In some embodiments, determining the first communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority according to the measurement cycle may be to postpone the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority to the next measurement cycle for scheduling to determine the first communication resource.

[0103] Step 402: Conflict determination is performed between the first communication resource and the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the high priority.

[0104] In some embodiments, a conflict judgment is performed between the first communication resource determined according to the measurement period and the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the high priority, which can be to determine whether the first communication resource and the initial communication resource overlap to determine whether the communication resource adjustment of the communication card corresponding to the low priority is completed.

[0105] In some embodiments, when the first communication resource conflicts with the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the high priority, the target communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority is determined according to the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority and the first step length information.

[0106] In some embodiments, the conflict may be that the first communication resource application time slice overlaps with the initial communication resource application time slice of the communication card corresponding to the high priority. Figure 7B As shown in the schematic diagram, the RF resource time slice of card 0 is the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the high priority, and card 1 is the first communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority. If the RF resource time slices of card 0 and card 1 overlap, it is necessary to further adjust the communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the low priority so that they do not conflict with the initial communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the high priority.

[0107] In some embodiments, the first step length information may be step length information of a communication card corresponding to a low priority level, which indicates the step length.

[0108] In some embodiments, based on the initial communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the low priority and the first step length information, determining the target communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the low priority can be to adjust the initial communication resources according to the first step length information so that the adjusted target communication resources do not conflict with the initial communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the high priority.

[0109] Step 403, when there is no conflict between the first communication resource and the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the high priority, determine the first communication resource as the target communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority.

[0110] In some embodiments, when there is no conflict between the first communication resource and the communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the high priority, it means that the communication resource adjustment of the communication card corresponding to the low priority is completed, and the communication card corresponding to the high priority and the communication card corresponding to the low priority can each apply for a time slice according to the determined communication resources to perform neighboring area measurement frame scheduling.

[0111] In the above embodiment, when the current state of the high-priority communication card is idle, the initial communication resources of the low-priority communication card can be adjusted according to the measurement cycle. When the adjusted communication resources do not conflict with the initial communication resources of the high-priority communication card, the target communication resources are obtained and the allocation of communication resources is completed, thereby avoiding high-priority service losses and low-priority mobility management.

[0112] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a process for determining target communication resources proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1-Figure 4 The embodiment shown, Figure 5 right Figure 3 Step 302, Figure 4 Step 402 in the further definition is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the following steps are also included.

[0113] Step 501, taking the step size indicated by the first step size information as a unit, the initial communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the low priority are moved backward by a preset number of units to obtain the second communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the low priority.

[0114] In some embodiments, the first step length information is the step length information of the communication card corresponding to the low priority.

[0115] In some embodiments, the preset number may be a preset number of moving units, which may be 1, 2, 3, etc.

[0116] In some embodiments, when the service type of the communication card corresponding to the high priority is data service, if there is a conflict between the first communication resource obtained according to the relaxed measurement scheduling strategy and the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the high priority, the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority is shifted back a preset number of units using the step size indicated by the first step size information of the communication card corresponding to the low priority as a unit to obtain the second communication resource.

[0117] In some embodiments, when the current state of the communication card corresponding to the high priority is an idle state, if the first communication resources obtained by adjusting the initial communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the low priority according to the measurement period conflict with the initial communication resources of the high priority communication card, the initial communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the low priority are shifted back a preset number of units with the step size indicated by the first step size information as the unit to obtain the second communication resource.

[0118] For example, when card 1 in the dual card is a data service, a relaxed measurement scheduling strategy is used to obtain a new RF resource time slice, or when card 1 is in an idle state, a new RF resource time slice obtained by scheduling according to the measurement scheduling cycle conflicts with the RF resource time slice of card 0. Since the RF resource time slice of the neighboring area measurement of card 0 has been pre-occupied, the RF resources required by the neighboring area resources of card 1 cannot be pre-occupied. Then, the neighboring area measurement of card 1 is based on the first effective frame timing information and Step step length, and the next Step step length is maintained to obtain a new RF resource pre-occupied time slice for card 1, such as Figure 7C Schematic diagram shown.

[0119] Step 502: Conflict determination is performed between the second communication resource and the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the high priority.

[0120] In some embodiments, the conflict determination between the second communication resource and the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the high priority may be to determine whether the time slice corresponding to the second communication resource overlaps with the time slice of the initial communication resource corresponding to the high priority.

[0121] For example, the new RF resource reserved time slice of card 1 determined according to the first effective frame timing information and step information of card 1 is judged to overlap with the RF resource time slice reserved by card 0 again.

[0122] Step 503: when there is no conflict between the second communication resource and the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the high priority, the second communication resource is determined as the target communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority.

[0123] In some embodiments, when there is no conflict between the second communication resource and the initial communication resource corresponding to the high priority, it means that the communication resource adjustment of the communication card corresponding to the low priority is completed, and the second communication resource is the target communication resource. The first communication card and the second communication card can perform neighboring area measurement scheduling according to the allocated communication resources.

[0124] For example, if the new RF resource reserved time slice of card 1 has no overlap / conflict with the RF resource time slice reserved by card 0, the RF resource application for the dual-card neighboring area measurement is successful, and the dual-card neighboring area measurement frame scheduling is performed.

[0125] In the above embodiment, the initial communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the low priority are adjusted according to the step information of the communication card so that the adjusted communication resources do not conflict with the initial communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the high priority, thereby completing the allocation of communication resources and achieving the purpose of reducing the service loss of the high priority communication card and the mobility management of the low priority communication card.

[0126] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of a process for determining target communication resources according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1-5 The embodiment shown, Figure 6 right Figure 5 Step 502 in the further definition is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0127] Step 601, when there is a conflict between the second communication resource and the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the high priority, determine the third communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority according to the second communication resource and the first step length information, until the third communication resource does not conflict with the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the high priority, and determine the third communication resource as the target communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority.

[0128] In some embodiments, the conflict between the second communication resource and the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the high priority may be that the time slice of the second communication resource overlaps with the time slice of the initial communication resource of the high priority communication card, then the third communication resource is determined based on the second communication resource and the first step length information.

[0129] In some embodiments, based on the second communication resource and the first step length information, determining the third communication resource can be accomplished by continuously moving the second communication resource backward by a preset number of units in units of the step length indicated by the first step length information until the obtained third communication resource does not conflict with the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the high priority.

[0130] For example, Fig.7DAs shown in the RF resource schematic diagram, the RF resource time slice of card 1 after moving one step overlaps with the RF resource time slice reserved by card 0, so it continues to move backward by one step to obtain a new RF resource time slice of card 1.

[0131] In some embodiments, the method for determining the third communication resource according to the second communication resource and the first step length information can refer to Figure 5 The specific implementation method in the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0132] In the above embodiment, the initial communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the low priority are continuously adjusted and conflicts are judged according to the corresponding step information, so that the obtained third communication resources do not conflict with the initial communication resources of the high priority communication card, so as to complete the adjustment of the communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the low priority, achieve the purpose of reducing the business loss of the high priority communication card and the mobility management of the low priority communication card.

[0133] Fig. 7A The flowchart corresponding to the resource allocation method is shown in the figure, which is executed by the RF resource time slice management module and includes the following steps:

[0134] Step 1: The two SIM cards calculate the time slice information and step length information of the RF resources used for the neighboring cell measurement according to their respective neighboring cell measurement configurations;

[0135] Step 2: The dual SIM cards complete the time slice preemption registration process through the RF resource time slice management module, and the time slice adopts the first-come-first-served mechanism;

[0136] Step 2.1: If the dual-card RF resources do not conflict, the dual-cards return success according to their respective RF resources and jump to Step 3. Otherwise, jump to Step 2.2 and enter the RF resource time slice management module;

[0137] Step 2.2: If one of the dual SIM cards is in the voice service or signaling process, the other SIM card changes the frequency point that does not conflict with the RF resources to perform neighboring cell measurement scheduling and jumps to Step 3. Otherwise, jump to Step 2.3.

[0138] Step 2.3: If it is a data service process, in order to reduce the impact of the neighboring cell measurement of another card on the service of one card, a relaxed measurement scheduling strategy is adopted, such as: enlarging the neighboring cell measurement scheduling period, reducing the neighboring cell measurement scheduling density in static scenarios / low-speed scenarios, etc.;

[0139] Step 2.4: If the RF resource application time slices of the two cards overlap, such as Figure 7B The RF resource schematic diagram shown in the figure determines that the dual-card RF resource time slices conflict;

[0140] Step 2.5: In Step 2.4, since the RF resource time slice of the neighboring cell measurement of one card (card 0) has been pre-occupied, the RF resources required by the neighboring cell resources of another card (card 1) cannot be pre-occupied. In this case, the neighboring cell measurement of card 1 is based on the first effective frame timing information, as well as the Step step length and other information, and the next Step step length is maintained to obtain the new RF resource pre-occupied time slice of card 1.

[0141] Steep2.6: Based on the adjusted RF resource reserved time slice in Step 2.5, re-compare it with the RF resource time slice reserved by card 0. If there is no conflict between card 0 and card 1, such as Figure 7C If the RF resource diagram shown in the figure is correct, then jump to Step 3 and return to the current card 1 RF resource pre-occupancy time slice. Otherwise, Fig.7D If the RF resource diagram is shown, jump to Step 2.4;

[0142] Step 3: The RF resource application for the dual-SIM neighboring cell measurement is successful, and the dual-SIM neighboring cell measurement frame scheduling is performed.

[0143] In summary, when the dual-card RF hardware resources are limited, this solution combines the business conditions of the dual-cards to adjust the neighboring area measurement scheduling strategy of the dual-cards according to the priority, which can not only avoid the collision of the dual-card neighboring area measurement scheduling causing the service performance to decline, but also take into account the timing of the dual-card neighboring area measurement polling scheduling; it not only ensures the fairness of the dual-card neighboring area measurement scheduling, but also improves the dual-card mobility management performance and user experience.

[0145] A determination module 810, configured to determine the priority level of the first communication card and the second communication card according to a preset rule when there is a conflict between the initial communication resources of the first communication card of the terminal and the initial communication resources of the second communication card of the terminal;

[0152] In some embodiments, the allocation module is also used to determine the target communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the low priority based on the initial communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the low priority and the first step length information when there is a conflict between the first communication resources and the initial communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the high priority.

[0153] In some embodiments, the allocation module is also used to move the initial communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the low priority backward by a preset number of units, taking the step size indicated by the first step size information as a unit, to obtain the second communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the low priority; to perform conflict judgment on the second communication resources and the initial communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the high priority; and to determine the second communication resource as the target communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority when there is no conflict between the second communication resource and the initial communication resources of the communication card corresponding to the high priority.

[0154] In some embodiments, the allocation module is also used to determine the third communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority based on the second communication resource and the first step length information when there is a conflict between the second communication resource and the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the high priority, until the third communication resource does not conflict with the initial communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the high priority, and the third communication resource is determined as the target communication resource of the communication card corresponding to the low priority.

[0155] In summary, the resource allocation device proposed in the present invention judges the priority of the communication cards supported by the terminal, and determines the adjustment strategy of the communication resources of the communication cards corresponding to the low priority according to different priority levels, so as to achieve non-conflict of communication resources between high priority and low priority communication cards, reduce the business loss of high priority communication cards, and ensure the mobility management of low priority communication cards.
