[0002] With the development of communication technology, dual SIM card terminals now gradually support DSDA (Dual Sim Dual Active). However, due to certain hardware limitations (such as dual SIM cards do not have independent TX radio frequency paths, and the transceiver does not support simultaneous transmission of two SIM cards, etc.), dual SIM card terminals must share the transmission (TX) time slot to achieve the dual SIM dual-active function. TX time slot sharing is often achieved by averaging the TX time slots, which will result in the high-priority SIM card not being able to obtain sufficient TX resources, resulting in a sharp decline in communication quality and failure to meet the communication needs of dual SIM cards.

[0027] In order to enable ordinary persons in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present disclosure and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. The implementation methods described in the following examples do not represent all implementation methods consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the attached claims.

[0029] It should be noted that the phrase "at least one of the items" in the present disclosure includes three types of parallel situations: "any one of the items", "a combination of any number of the items", and "all of the items". For example, "including at least one of A and B" includes the following three parallel situations: (1) including A; (2) including B; (3) including A and B. Another example is "executing at least one of step 1 and step 2" which means the following three parallel situations: (1) executing step 1; (2) executing step 2; (3) executing step 1 and step 2.

[0030] As described in the background technology, TX time slot sharing is often achieved by averaging the TX time slots to achieve dual SIM card sharing, and the specific sharing scheme is fixed, such as directly averaging the time slots to achieve sharing. Figure 1As shown, assuming that both SIM1 and SIM2 reside in the N28 frequency band, the first and fourth time slots in the TX time slot are occupied by SIM1 to connect to the N28 frequency band, while the second and third time slots are occupied by SIM2 to connect to the N28 frequency band. However, for example, there may be such a scenario in reality: assuming that SIM1 is on a call and SIM2 is performing data services. At this time, due to the movement of the position or other irresistible factors, the channel quality of the dual SIM card terminal deteriorates, and then the uplink block error rate (ULBLER, Uplink Block Error Ratio) of SIM1 becomes higher, which inevitably causes a large number of data packets to be retransmitted. However, excessive retransmissions may result in insufficient time slots allocated to SIM1, ultimately resulting in silent calls or dropped calls. In other words, this will result in the SIM card with a higher priority not being able to obtain sufficient TX resources, resulting in a sharp decline in communication quality, and the communication needs of the dual SIM cards cannot be guaranteed. In this example, the higher priority SIM card is SIM1 that performs communication services.

[0031] In view of this, current dual SIM card terminals often cancel TX time slot sharing and allow the high-priority SIM card to monopolize TX resources to ensure that the high-priority SIM card completes its tasks. However, in this way, the dual SIM card terminal does not work in the dual SIM dual active (DSDA) mode, but only in the dual SIM dual standby (DSDS) mode. Moreover, at this time, the low-priority SIM card (such as some non-urgent and necessary tasks such as ordinary Internet access and network synchronization) is in a suspended state, and its tasks cannot continue to be executed, which gives users a very unfriendly experience.

[0032] To this end, the present disclosure proposes that when the dual SIM card terminal works under the TX time slot sharing mechanism, the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card in the dual SIM cards is monitored, and the TX time slot proportion of the higher priority SIM card is dynamically adjusted according to its communication quality, thereby ensuring the communication needs of the dual SIM cards. Figure 2 Schematic diagram showing TX time slot sharing of dual SIM cards according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 As shown, after detecting that the communication capability of a higher priority SIM card decreases, more time slots may be allocated to it to meet its communication needs.

[0033] Below, refer to Figures 3 to 5 The above concept according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is described. Figure 3 is a flowchart of a communication processing method of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0034] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device may include a first SIM card and a second SIM card, and the first SIM card and the second SIM card share a transmission TX time slot. In other words, the electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is a DSDS device, or the electronic device operates as a dual SIM card terminal in a dual card dual pass mode.

[0035] Reference Figure 3 In step S310, a higher priority SIM card is determined from the first SIM card and the second SIM card.

[0036] According to an embodiment, a predefined SIM card in the first SIM card and the second SIM card may be determined as a higher priority SIM card. That is, the higher priority SIM card may be a predefined SIM card in the first SIM card and the second SIM card. For example, any one of the first SIM card and the second SIM card may be set as a higher priority card according to user preference. For another example, a default data card (DDS, Default Data SIM card) in the first SIM card and the second SIM card, or a SIM card for making calls, or a SIM card for playing games, etc. may be predefined as a higher priority card.

[0037] Optionally, the higher priority SIM card may not be predefined, but determined according to the types of tasks performed by the first SIM card and the second SIM card. Therefore, optionally, the higher priority SIM card of the first SIM card and the second SIM card is determined according to the types of tasks performed by the first SIM card and the second SIM card. For example, in step S310, the SIM card that performs the preset task in the first SIM card and the second SIM card may be determined as the higher priority SIM card. For example, when the first SIM card and the second SIM card start a task, the electronic device detects the type of the started task and determines the higher priority SIM card of the first SIM card and the second SIM card according to the type of task. For example, a SIM card that performs tasks such as games, calls, and live broadcasts may be determined as a high priority SIM card, while a SIM card that performs general Internet access tasks (such as browsing web pages, downloading data, watching various news apps, etc.) may be determined as a low priority SIM card.

[0038] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of determining a higher priority SIM card in a dual SIM card according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0039] exist Figure 4 In the example of , when the dual SIM cards start a task, the electronic device determines the higher priority SIM card according to the task type performed by the dual SIM cards, for example, the SIM card that performs the preset task between the first SIM card and the second SIM card is determined as the higher priority SIM card. Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, in step S410, it can be determined whether any of the dual SIM cards is in a call state (i.e., whether any SIM is performing a communication task). If yes, in step S420, the SIM card in the call is set as a higher priority SIM card. If not, in step S430, it can be determined whether there is a SIM card in the dual SIM cards that performs predefined services such as games / HD live broadcasts. If yes, in step S440, the corresponding SIM card is set as a higher priority SIM card. If not, in step S450, the DDS card is set as a higher priority SIM card. After determining the higher priority SIM card, in step S460, wait for a period of time, and then return to step S410 to continue execution. In other words, the higher priority SIM card can be re-determined at intervals, rather than always setting the fixed SIM card as the higher priority SIM card.

[0040] Return to reference Figure 3 After determining the higher priority SIM card, in step S320, specific parameters of the higher priority SIM card are monitored. According to an embodiment, the specific parameters of the higher priority SIM card among the first SIM card and the second SIM card may be monitored in real time, or the specific parameters of the higher priority SIM card among the first SIM card and the second SIM card may be monitored at regular intervals. The above specific parameters may indicate the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card.

[0041] According to an embodiment, step S320 may include monitoring changes in specific parameters that can indicate the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card. For example, after the higher priority SIM card starts to perform a task, the electronic device may determine the quality of the communication by measuring changes in specific parameters that can indicate the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card.

[0042] According to an embodiment, the above-mentioned specific parameters may include at least one of the following parameters: reference signal received power (RSRP, Reference Signal Receiving Power), reference signal received quality (RSRQ, Reference Signal Receiving Quality), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR, Signal To Noise Ratio), uplink block error rate (ULBLER), and transmit power, but are not limited to these.

[0043] For example, UL BLER and transmit power may be specific parameters indicating the uplink transmission quality of the higher priority SIM card, however, the specific parameters indicating the uplink transmission quality of the higher priority SIM card are not limited to UL BLER and transmit power. As an example, RSRP, RSRQ and SNR may be specific parameters indicating the downlink reception quality of the higher priority SIM card, however, the specific parameters indicating the downlink reception quality of the higher priority SIM card are not limited to RSRP, RSRQ and SNR.

[0044] Next, in step S330, based on the specific parameters of the higher priority SIM card, the TX time slot proportion of the higher priority SIM card is adjusted. As described above, step S320 may include monitoring changes in specific parameters that can indicate the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card. Accordingly, step S330 may adjust the TX time slot proportions of the first SIM card and the second SIM card based on changes in specific parameters that can indicate the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card.

[0045] For example, step S330 may include: determining that the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card meets the first predetermined condition based on the change of the specific parameter; increasing the TX time slot proportion of the higher priority SIM card from the first proportion to the second proportion; in response to determining that the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card does not meet the second predetermined condition when the TX time slot proportion is the second proportion, continuing to increase the TX time slot proportion of the higher priority SIM card until the maximum preset TX time slot proportion is reached. In other words, if it is determined that the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card meets the first predetermined condition based on the change of the specific parameter, the TX time slot proportion of the higher priority SIM card is increased from the first proportion to the second proportion; if the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card does not meet the second predetermined condition when the TX time slot proportion of the higher priority SIM card is increased to the second proportion, continuing to increase the TX time slot proportion of the higher priority SIM card until the maximum preset TX time slot proportion is reached. According to an embodiment, the maximum preset TX time slot proportion may be the maximum TX time slot proportion that can be allocated to the higher priority SIM card in consideration of reserving a certain time slot for the low priority SIM to ensure that its task is completed.

[0046] According to the embodiment, when adjusting the TX time slot proportions of the first SIM card and the second SIM card in step S330, the adjustment can be made according to predefined adjustable levels. For example, the predefined adjustable levels are 10% / 20% .. / 80% / 90%. If it is determined that the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card meets the first predetermined condition, the TX time slot proportion of the higher priority SIM card is adjusted from level 1 (50%) to level 2 (60%). If the communication quality has not been improved after the adjustment, the time slot proportion is continued to be increased until the highest level is reached, but a certain time slot proportion needs to be reserved for the low priority SIM to ensure that its task is completed.

[0047] According to an embodiment, the first predetermined condition may be that the current communication quality of the higher priority SIM card is reduced compared to the previous communication quality of the higher priority SIM card or the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card does not meet the predetermined communication quality requirement within a predetermined time length. Here, the predetermined time length may be set in advance as required, for example, it may be several minutes, several tens of minutes, etc. For example, the first predetermined condition may be that the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card is monitored to be reduced or poor for a long time when the task of the higher priority card is being performed.

[0048] For example, the above-mentioned determining that the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card meets the first predetermined condition based on the change of the specific parameter may include: if the uplink block error rate of the higher priority SIM card increases by more than a first threshold value in a first time period, determining that the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card meets the first predetermined condition; if the uplink block error rate of the higher priority SIM card is higher than a second threshold value in a second time period, determining that the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card meets the first predetermined condition; if the transmission power of the higher priority SIM card is greater than a third threshold value in a third time period, determining that the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card meets the first predetermined condition; if at least one of the reference signal reception power, the reference signal reception quality and the signal-to-noise ratio of the higher priority SIM card decreases by more than a fourth threshold value in a fourth time period, determining that the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card meets the first predetermined condition.

[0049] For example, if the UL BLER of the higher priority SIM card increases by more than a certain threshold value 1 in a short period of time: for example, the UL BLER increases from 10% to 50% within 2 seconds, it is determined that the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card meets the first predetermined condition; or, if the UL BLER of the higher priority SIM card is higher than a certain threshold value 2 for a long period of time: for example, the UL BLER is higher than 70% within 30 seconds, it is determined that the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card meets the first predetermined condition; or, if the RSRP / RSRQ / SNR of the higher priority SIM card drops by more than a threshold value 3 in a short period of time: for example, the RSRP drops by more than 15db within 2 seconds, it is determined that the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card meets the first predetermined condition; or, if the transmission power of the higher priority SIM card is greater than a threshold value 4 for a long time: for example, the transmission power is greater than 20dbm within 30 seconds, it is determined that the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card meets the first predetermined condition.

[0050] According to an embodiment, the second predetermined condition may be that the improvement in the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card after increasing the TX timeslot occupation of the higher priority SIM card satisfies a predetermined improvement requirement. For example, the above-mentioned determination that the communication quality when the TX time slot proportion of the higher priority SIM card is the second proportion does not meet the second predetermined condition may include: if, when the TX time slot proportion of the higher priority SIM card is increased to the second proportion, the improvement of the uplink block error rate of the higher priority SIM card after the fifth time period does not exceed the fifth threshold, then determining that the communication quality when the TX time slot proportion of the higher priority SIM card is the second proportion does not meet the second predetermined condition; if, when the TX time slot proportion of the higher priority SIM card is increased to the second proportion, the uplink block error rate of the higher priority SIM card is not lower than the sixth threshold in the sixth time period, then determining that the communication quality when the TX time slot proportion of the higher priority SIM card is the second proportion does not meet the second predetermined condition; if, when the TX time slot proportion of the higher priority SIM card is increased to the second proportion, the transmit power of the higher priority SIM card is reduced by no more than the seventh threshold in the seventh time period, then determining that the communication quality when the TX time slot proportion of the higher priority SIM card is the second proportion does not meet the second predetermined condition.

[0051] For example, if the UL BLER of the higher priority SIM card improves by more than a threshold value 5: for example, the UL BLER drops from 50% to 20% within 2s, then it is determined that the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card meets the second predetermined condition, otherwise it is determined that the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card does not meet the second predetermined condition; or, if the UL BLER of the higher priority SIM card is lower than a certain threshold value 6 for a long time: for example, the UL BLER is higher than 30% within 30s, then it is determined that the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card meets the second predetermined condition, otherwise it is determined that the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card does not meet the second predetermined condition; or, if the transmit power of the higher priority SIM card decreases by more than a threshold value 7 in a short time: for example, the transmit power drops from 20dbm to 15dbm within 2s, then it is determined that the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card meets the second predetermined condition, otherwise it is determined that the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card does not meet the second predetermined condition.

[0052] It should be noted that the specific values ​​of the above-mentioned first to seventh thresholds and the first to seventh time periods can be set according to actual business needs, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit their specific values.

[0053] In order to better understand the above method, it is further described below with reference to examples. Figure 5 According to the embodiment of the present disclosure Figure 3 A schematic diagram of an example of a communication processing method shown.

[0054] like Figure 5As shown, during the task startup, the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card can be monitored in step S510. According to an embodiment, as described above, the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card can be monitored by monitoring specific parameters of the higher priority SIM card. For example, the UL BLER, the transmit power or the received signal quality can be monitored to determine the quality of the communication. For example, whether the received signal has deteriorated can be determined by monitoring at least one of the reference signal received power RSRP, the reference signal received quality RSRQ and the signal-to-noise ratio SNR. If it is determined in step S520 that any one of the following conditions is met: the UL BLER is higher than the threshold for a period of time; the transmit power is higher than the threshold for a period of time; or the signal deterioration is higher than the threshold in a short time, it is considered that the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card is not good, and in step S530, the TX manager can be required to increase the TX time slot proportion of the higher priority SIM card. In step S540, the TX manager can adjust the TX time slot proportion of the dual SIM cards. Otherwise, if one of the above conditions is not met, in step S550, the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card can be continued to be monitored after waiting for a period of time. Here, continuing to monitor after waiting for a period of time can prevent frequent switching, that is, prevent frequent adjustment of the time slot share. In addition, after increasing the TX time slot share of the higher priority SIM card in step S530, the communication quality of the higher priority SIM card can also be continued to be monitored after waiting for a period of time in step S550. Here, the TX manager can be a separate hardware or software module set in the electronic device, or it can be integrated in the existing hardware or software module of the electronic device. For example, the TX manager can be a processor or controller in the electronic device.

[0055] The above has been referred to Figures 2 to 5 A method performed by an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is described. According to the method performed by the electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, by monitoring specific parameters of a higher priority SIM card in the first SIM card and the second SIM card, and adjusting the TX time slot proportion of the higher priority SIM card based on the specific parameters of the higher priority SIM card, the communication quality can be improved, thereby ensuring the communication requirements of the dual SIM cards.
