A terminal equipment arranged to communicate via a wireless interface may be referred to as a "wireless communication terminal", "wireless terminal" or "mobile terminal". Examples of mobile terminals include, but are not limited to, satellite or cellular telephones, Personal Communications System (PCS) terminals combining cellular radiotelephone with data processing, fax and data communication capabilities, wireless telephones, pagers, PDAs with Internet / Intranet access, web browsers, notebooks, calendars and / or Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, and other electronic devices including traditional laptop and / or palmtop receivers or radiotelephone transceivers.

[0037] It should be understood that the terms "system" and "network" are always used interchangeably herein.

[0038] Dual SIM card terminals are a future development trend, however, current terminals generally do not support true dual path capability, where dual path can be understood as dual transmission and dual reception, i.e. transmitting and receiving data simultaneously on two networks, so that a terminal device cannot simultaneously provide uplink (UL) and downlink (UL) data services on two networks through two SIM cards.

[0039] Generally, most of the current terminal devices only support single uplink / downlink (Single UL / DL) or single uplink / dual downlink (Single UL / Dual DL), which means that the terminal device only runs the service on one SIM card at a time. Single UL / DL indicates that the terminal device only runs uplink and downlink services on one SIM card at a time, while Single UL / Dual DL indicates that the terminal device can run services on two SIM cards simultaneously at a time, but can only run the uplink service on one SIM card.

[0040] When a SIM-1 card and a SIM-2 card are installed in a terminal device at the same time, if the terminal device only supports Single UL / DL or Single UL / Dual DL, the following problems will exist:

[0041] In case 1, when the terminal device only supports single UL / DL and the terminal device is in radio resource control (RRC) idle state or RRC unconnected state in both SIM-1 and SIM-2, a paging conflict may occur.

[0042] In case 2, when the terminal device only supports Single UL / DL, and the terminal device is in RRC idle state or disconnected state with SIM-1 and in RRC connected state with SIM-2, it may occur that a low priority service with SIM-1 interrupts a high priority service with SIM-2, or the terminal device cannot receive paging of a service with SIM-1 due to some event.

[0043] Case 3: if the terminal device only supports Single UL / Dual DL, and the terminal device is in RRC idle or disconnected state on SIM-1 and in RRC connected state on SIM-2, the terminal device will interrupt the service on SIM-2 to return paging (e.g., establish an RRC connection) on the SIM-1 card.

[0044] In the above case, as shown in Fig. 2, two SIM cards, namely USIM-1 and USIM-2, are installed in the terminal equipment, the network corresponding to the USIM-1 card of the terminal equipment is network 1, and the network corresponding to the USIM-2 card of the terminal equipment is network 2. Network 1 includes radio access network 1 (RAN-1) and core network 1 (CN-1), and network 2 includes RAN-2 and CN-2.

[0045] In S210, the terminal device is in a connected state with network 2 and in a disconnected state with network 1. The terminal device executes data services on USIM-2 in network 2 (RAN-2+CN-2).

[0046] At S220, due to triggering by a service in the first network, CN-1 sends a paging request to RAN-1, requesting the terminal device to establish a connection with the first network.

[0047] At S230, after receiving the paging request sent by CN-1, RAN-1 sends a paging request to the terminal device.

[0048] After receiving the paging request sent by RAN-1, the terminal device decides whether to switch to USIM-1, for example, if the terminal device is running a service, such as a voice service, in the second network when it receives the paging request, the terminal device needs to decide whether to switch to USIM-1. Therefore, whether the terminal device should stop the service in network 2 and switch to USIM-2, or ignore the paging of network 1, maintain the connection with network 2, and continue the current service is an urgent issue to be solved.

[0049] An embodiment of the present application provides a communication method, and provides a method for determining whether to switch SIM cards for a terminal device that supports multiple SIM cards. As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes steps S310 to S320.

[0050] At S310, the first network sends a first message to the terminal device, the first message including first information, and the first message is used by the terminal device to establish a connection with the first network.

[0051] At S320, the terminal device determines whether to establish a connection with the first network according to the first information.

[0052] The first network may refer to a first network equipment, which may refer to a core network equipment, which may refer to the CN-1 described above, or the first network equipment may refer to an access network equipment, which may refer to the RAN-1 described above.

[0053] The terminal device and the first network are in a non-connected state, for example, the terminal device and the first network are in an RRC idle state, or the terminal device and the first network are in an RRC inactive state.

[0054] The terminal device may be a terminal device that supports multiple SIM cards, and if the SIM cards installed in the terminal device include USIM-1 and USIM-2, USIM-1 corresponds to a first network, USIM-2 corresponds to a second network, and the terminal device is currently in a connected state with the second network and in a disconnected state with the first network.

[0055] When the terminal device is in a connected state with the second network, the terminal device can perform services in USIM-2. The terminal device being in a connected state with the second network includes the terminal device being in an RRC connected state and / or a connection management (CM) connected state with the second network.

[0056] The first message may be a paging message, and when the first network detects a service that needs to trigger paging, the first network can send the paging message to the terminal device, so that the terminal device processes the service. For example, when the first network detects an application data packet or a request message triggered by a third party, the first network can send the paging message to the terminal device.

[0057] The first information may include service information, and the terminal device may determine whether to switch to the first network according to the service information. If the terminal device determines that the service is relatively important or relatively urgent, for example, if the first information includes information such as earthquake and tsunami warning, the terminal device may switch to the first network to process the service, and if the terminal device determines that the service is not important or urgent, for example, if the service is a spam message or an advertisement, the terminal device may ignore the message and continue to stay in the current network.

[0058] The service information may include a service identifier, and the service identifier may indicate that the first network triggers a service to transmit the first message.

[0059] The service identifier may be embodied by at least one of an Application Identity (ID), a Service ID, an Internet Protocol (IP) address, a Media Access Control (MAC) address, a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) ID, a Data Network Name (DNN), and an Access Point Name (APN).

[0060] The service identifier may also characterize different service types, such as emergency calls, voice services, short message services, IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) services, and so on.

[0061] In addition, the first information may further include a service identifier and a priority corresponding to the service identifier. The first information triggers a service of the first message and its corresponding priority, and the terminal device can determine whether to establish a connection with the first network according to the priority of the service triggering the first message.

[0062] Of course, the first message may include multiple service identifiers and their corresponding priorities, each service identifier having its corresponding priority, and the priorities of different services may be the same or different.

[0063] It can be understood that the first information is not limited to service information, and may also include other information, such as a trigger event, etc. The terminal device determines whether to establish a connection with the first network according to the trigger event.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal equipment autonomously determines whether it needs to switch to the first network according to the content in the first information, such as service information, which provides a network switching strategy for a terminal equipment that supports multiple SIM cards and can reduce the complexity of the terminal equipment.

[0065] The terminal device determines whether to establish a connection with the first network according to the first information and at least one of the following information, which includes the second information and a service that the terminal device is running in the second network:

[0066] The second information may be understood as a strategy, and may include at least one of service priorities, services for which the terminal equipment requires to establish a connection with the first network, and services for which the terminal equipment does not require to establish a connection with the first network.

[0067] The second information corresponds to different information at different times and / or different locations. For example, the second information includes service priorities at different times and / or different locations, and the priorities of the same service may be different at different times and / or different locations. Also, for example, at different times and / or different locations, the services included in the second information that the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network are different.

[0068] The service priority can include different services and their corresponding service priorities. As shown in Table 1, Table 1 shows a scheme for indicating service priority. [Table 1]

[0069] Table 1 shows a total of four services and their corresponding priorities, with Service-1 having a priority of 1, Service-2 having a priority of 3, Service-3 having a priority of 6, and Service-4 having a priority of 4. In Table 1, the smaller the priority number, the higher the degree of finiteness, i.e., Service-1 has the highest priority, Service-3 has the lowest priority, and Service-2 has a higher priority than Service-4.

[0070] The service priority in the embodiments of the present application may include a service priority at a particular time and / or a service priority at a particular location, i.e., the priority of the same service may be different at different times and / or locations, as shown in Tables 2 and 3. [Table 2]

[0071] Table 2 shows the situation of service priorities at two different times for the same service. For service 1, the priority at time 1 is 1 but at time 2 is 3; for service 2, the priority at time 1 is 4 but at time 2 is 2; for service 3, the priority at time 1 is 6 but at time 2 is 7; for service 4, the priority at time 1 is 8 but at time 2 is 5.

[0072] Referring to Table 2, at time 1, the priority of service 1 is higher than the priority of service 2, but at time 2, the priority of service 2 is higher than the priority of service 1. Therefore, when the terminal device determines the priority of the service included in the first information, it can first determine the current time, and then take the priority corresponding to the time as the priority of the service.

[0073] Time 1 and time 2 can represent day and night, respectively, or time 1 and time 2 can represent weekdays and weekends, respectively. Of course, the embodiment of the present application can also divide more time points, such as working hours, off hours, meal times, bedtimes, etc. [Table 3]

[0074] Table 3 shows the priority situation at two different locations for the same service. For service 1, the priority at location 1 is 4 but at location 2 is 2; for service 2, the priority at location 1 is 1 but at location 2 is 6; for service 3, the priority at location 1 is 3 but at location 2 is 5; for service 4, the priority at location 1 is 7 but at location 2 is 8.

[0075] Referring to Table 3, in location 1, the priority of service 1 is lower than the priority of service 2, but in location 2, the priority of service 2 is lower than the priority of service 1. Therefore, when the terminal device determines the priority of the service included in the first information, it can first determine the current location of the terminal device, and then determine the priority corresponding to the location as the priority of the service.

[0076] Location 1 and Location 2 can represent home and work, respectively. Of course, the embodiment of the present application can also divide more locations, such as high-speed trains, airplanes, etc.

[0077] Tables 1, 2 and 3 are only examples, and take the case where the priority is 1-9 as an example, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this, and the priority of the service can be further subdivided, for example, the priority of the service can be divided into a total of 20 levels from 1 to 20.

[0078] It can be understood that the service priority can also include priority at a specific time and a specific location, that is, the service priority is related to both time and location, and the service priority is a two-dimensional priority. In this case, the service priority is the common result of Table 2 and Table 3, where Table 2 can indicate the service priority at a certain time, and Table 3 can indicate the service priority at a certain location.

[0079] For the same service, the time is the same, but the location is different, and the priority may be different. When the terminal device determines the priority of the service included in the first information, it not only needs to determine the current time of the terminal device, but also needs to determine the current location of the terminal device, and determines the priority of the service according to the time and location information of the terminal device.

[0080] The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the division granularity of the service. For example, the service IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and non-IMS based voice services, IMS and non-IMS based Short Message Service (SMS) and unstructured supplementary services data (USSD), IMS services excluding voice and SMS, and It may be divided into at least one other data service not listed above, such as video.

[0081] For convenience of explanation, hereinafter, a service that requires a terminal device to establish a connection with the first network is referred to as a first service group, and a service that does not require a terminal device to establish a connection with the first network is referred to as a second service group. The second information may include only the first service group, or may include only the second service group, or may include both the first service group and the second service group.

[0082] As an example, the terminal device determines whether to establish a connection with the first network according to the first information and the second information. When the second information includes a service priority and the first information includes service information, the terminal device can determine whether to establish a connection with the first network according to the priority of the service included in the first information and the service priority. When the second information includes a first service group and the service included in the first information belongs to the first service group, the terminal device can establish a connection with the first network. When the second information includes a first service group and the service included in the first information does not belong to the first service group, the terminal device may not establish a connection with the first network. When the second information includes a second service group and the service included in the first information belongs to the second service group, the terminal device may not establish a connection with the first network. When the second information includes a second service group, the terminal device may not establish a connection with the first network. When the second information includes the second service group, the terminal device can establish a connection with the first network.

[0083] The method in which the terminal device determines whether to establish a connection with the first network according to the service group to which the service included in the first information belongs is relatively simple. When the terminal device receives a first message sent by the first network, it can directly determine whether it needs to establish a connection with the first network by simply determining which service group the service included in the first information belongs to.

[0084] There are various ways in which the terminal device determines whether to establish a connection with the first network according to the service priority included in the first information and the service priority.

[0085] For example, the terminal device determines whether to establish a connection with the first network according to the order or rank of the service included in the first information in the service priority level. If the order of the service included in the first information in the service priority level is high, for example, high-middle, the terminal device can establish a connection with the first network, and if the order of the service included in the first information in the service priority level is low, for example, middle-low, the terminal device can not establish a connection with the first network.

[0086] For example, the terminal device can determine whether to establish a connection with the first network according to the service included in the first information and the service the terminal device is running in the second network. After receiving the first message, the terminal device can determine whether the service in the first information or the service running in the second network is more important. If the service in the first information is more important, the terminal device can establish a connection with the first network, and if the service the terminal device is running in the second network is more important, for example, the service running in the second network is a call service but the service in the first information is an advertising short message, the terminal device may not establish a connection with the first network.

[0087] Further, for example, the terminal device may further determine whether to establish a connection with the first network according to the service included in the first information, the service the terminal device is running in the second network, and the service priority. Specifically, the terminal device may determine whether to establish a connection with the first network according to the priority of the service included in the first information and the priority of the service the terminal device is running in the second network. If the priority of the service included in the first information is higher than the priority of the service running in the second network, the terminal device may establish a connection with the first network, if the priority of the service included in the first information is lower than the priority of the service running in the second network, the terminal device may not establish a connection with the first network, if the priority of the service included in the first information is similar to the priority of the service running in the second network, the terminal device may establish a connection with the first network or may not establish a connection with the first network.

[0088] The terminal device can flexibly determine whether to switch SIM cards by comparing the priorities of services in the two SIM cards, and can select and process services that are relatively important or relatively urgent by comparing the services running on USIM-2 and the services requested by USIM-1, allowing the terminal device to flexibly adjust its data processing strategy.

[0089] In an embodiment of the present application, the second information may be transmitted to the terminal device by the first network, may be transmitted to the terminal device by the first network, or may be pre-configured in the terminal device, for example pre-configured in the terminal device when the terminal device is shipped.

[0090] If the second information is sent by the network device to the terminal device, the network device can send the second information to the terminal device during a registration process, a session establishment process, and / or a UE Configuration Update (UCU) process, for example, the second information is carried in at least one of a Registration Accept message, a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) Session Establishment Accept message, a PDU Session Modification Accept message, and a message in a UCU process.

[0091] The UCU process may be a UCU process triggered by an access and mobility management function (AMF), or may be a UCU process triggered by a policy control function (PCF) network element.

[0092] The second information may be sent to the terminal device by a session management function (SMF) network element, or may be sent to the terminal device by a PCF network element. The PCF network element sends the second information to the terminal device, and the PCF network element uses a container to transparently send the second information to the terminal device through an AMF network element.

[0093] The first network may transmit the second information to the terminal equipment via the first message; for example, when the first network transmits a paging message to the terminal equipment, the second information may be carried in the paging message and transmitted to the terminal equipment.

[0094] The terminal device may determine whether it is necessary to establish a connection with the first network by any one of the methods described above. If the terminal device determines that it is necessary to establish a connection with the first network, it may release the connection with the second network or disconnect the connection with the second network. The terminal device may release the RRC connection and / or the CM connection with the second network.

[0095] If the terminal device is currently in an RRC connected state with the second network, and if the terminal device decides to establish a connection with the first network, the RRC connection with the second network can be released.If the terminal device is currently in a CM connected state with the second network, and if the terminal device decides to establish a connection with the first network, the CM connection with the second network can be released.

[0096] When the terminal device determines that a connection with a first network needs to be established, it can send a first request message to the first network, and the first request message is used to request to establish an RRC connection with the first network. Specifically, the terminal device can send the first request message to the first network through SIM-1.

[0097] Of course, if the terminal device supports the ability to simultaneously run data services on two SIM cards, the terminal device will not release the connection to the second network, but can continue to maintain the connection to the second network.

[0098] The terminal equipment establishing a connection with the first network may include the terminal equipment establishing a connection with the first core network and / or the terminal equipment establishing a connection with the first access network.

[0099] The first request message may include an RRC connection establishment request message and / or an RRC connection restoration request message. When the terminal device and the first network are in an RRC idle state, the terminal device may send an RRC connection establishment request message to the first network, and when the terminal device and the first network are in an RRC disconnected state, the terminal device may send an RRC connection restoration request message to the first network.

[0100] When the terminal device sends a first request message to the first network, a cause value may be carried in the first request message, which is used to indicate the reason why the terminal device requests to establish or restore an RRC connection.

[0101] The cause value may include, for example, a SIM card switch and / or a specific service identifier, where the SIM card switch indicates that the terminal equipment initiates an RRC connection using a current SIM card and may disconnect a network connection corresponding to the previous SIM card, and the specific service identifier may include an identifier of a service included in the first information and may indicate an RRC connection made by the terminal equipment due to the arrival of the specific service.

[0102] The terminal device may also send a non-access stratum (NAS) message to the first network to establish a NAS connection with the first network, thereby causing the terminal device to enter a CM-connected state.

[0103] After the terminal device enters the CM connected state, normal data service can be performed, that is, the terminal device can process data service on SIM-1.

[0104] Hereinafter, a wireless communication method according to an embodiment of the present application will be described in detail in combination with Fig. 4. As shown in Fig. 4, the method includes steps S410 to S480. For the corresponding technical features in Fig. 4, reference can be made to the above description.

[0105] In S410, SIM-1 of the terminal device completes registration or attachment in a first network, and SIM-2 of the terminal device completes registration or attachment in a second network. The terminal device is currently in a CM-connected state with the second network and in a disconnected state with the first network.

[0106] The first network may include RAN-1 and CN-1, and the second network may include RAN-2 and CN-2.

[0107] In S420, when CN-1 detects a service that needs to trigger a paging message, CN-1 can send a paging message to RAN-1. There are two ways to trigger a paging message: 1. application data packet; 2. request message triggered by a third-party server.

[0108] The paging message may carry service information, and the terminal device may determine whether to establish a connection with the first network according to the service information. The service information may include a service type and / or a service identifier.

[0109] At S430, after RAN-1 receives the paging message sent by CN-1, it can send a paging message to the terminal device.

[0110] In S440, after receiving the paging message, the terminal device can determine whether to establish a connection with the first network according to the service information included in the paging message and the second information.

[0111] The second information may include at least one of service priority, services for which the terminal device requires establishing a connection with the first network, and services for which the terminal device does not require establishing a connection with the first network.

[0112] If the terminal device determines that it needs to establish a connection with the first network, it may disconnect from the second network and connect to the first network using USIM-1.

[0113] At S450, the terminal device sends a first request message to RAN-1, where the first request message may be an RRC connection establishment request message, or the first message may be an RRC recovery request message.

[0114] When the terminal device and RAN-1 are in an RRC idle state, the terminal device can send an RRC connection establishment request message to RAN-1, and when the terminal device and RAN-1 are in an RRC inactive state, the terminal device can send an RRC recovery request message to RAN-1.

[0115] When the terminal device sends the first request message, a cause value may be carried in the first request message to indicate the cause of the terminal device sending the first request message. The cause value may include an identifier of a SIM card switching and / or a specific service.

[0116] At S460, after receiving an RRC connection establishment request message sent by the terminal equipment, RAN-1 can send an RRC establishment (setup) message to the terminal equipment, and after receiving an RRC recovery request message sent by the terminal equipment, RAN-1 can send an RRC recovery (resume) message to the terminal equipment.

[0117] At S470, after the terminal equipment receives the RRC setup message, it can send an RRC establishment complete message to RAN-1, and after the terminal equipment receives the RRC Resume message sent by RAN-1, it can send an RRC recovery complete message to RAN-1.

[0118] At S480, the terminal device initiates a NAS message to CN-1, for example, the terminal device may send a service request message or a registration request message to CN-1, causing it to enter a CM-connected state.

[0119] The embodiment of the present application further provides another wireless communication method, which provides a method for determining whether to switch SIM cards for a terminal device that supports multiple SIM cards. As shown in FIG 5, the method includes steps S510 to S530.

[0120] The difference with the method as shown in Figure 3 is that the method as shown in Figure 5 judges whether to perform SIM card switching by the network side, and the terminal equipment then establishes or does not establish a connection with the first network according to the decision of the network side, so as to minimize the complexity of the terminal equipment. For the corresponding technical features in the method as shown in Figure 5, please refer to the description of Figure 3, and will not be repeated here for brevity.

[0121] At S510, the first network sends a first message to the terminal device.

[0122] The first network may refer to a first network device, which may refer to a core network device or an access network device.

[0123] The terminal device may be a terminal device that supports multiple SIM cards, and the terminal device is currently in a disconnected state with a first network, which may be a network corresponding to one SIM card of the multiple SIM cards.

[0124] For example, a terminal device can support USIM-1 and USIM-2, where USIM-1 corresponds to a first network and USIM-2 corresponds to a second network, and the terminal device is currently in a disconnected state with the first network but in a connected state with the second network, that is, the terminal device performs data services related to USIM-2 in the second network but cannot perform data services related to USIM-1 in the first network.

[0125] After receiving the first message, the terminal device can execute step S520 or step S530, which step the terminal device specifically executes is determined according to a switching strategy of the network side.

[0126] The first message may be, for example, a paging message, although embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto, and upon a triggered service, the first network may send other messages to the terminal device.

[0127] If there is a triggered service, the first network can send a paging message to the terminal equipment, so as to request the terminal equipment to establish a connection with the first network. The first network sending a paging message to the terminal equipment refers to sending a paging message to the terminal equipment if the first network determines that the terminal equipment needs to establish a connection with the first network, or sending a paging message to the terminal equipment regardless of whether the terminal equipment needs to establish a connection with the first network.

[0128] The first network may determine whether the terminal equipment needs to establish a connection with the first network according to a first strategy, and the first strategy may include at least one of service priority, services that require the first indication to be added to a paging message, and services that do not require the first indication to be added to a paging message.

[0129] In one implementation form, the first network can determine whether the terminal equipment needs to establish a connection with the first network according to the first strategy and the service to be transmitted, where the service to be transmitted can be understood as a service that triggers the first network equipment to send a paging message.

[0130] The first network can determine whether the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network according to the priority of the service to be transmitted, or the first network can determine whether the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network according to whether the service to be transmitted belongs to the service that adds the first indication to the paging message.

[0131] Optionally, the service priority in an embodiment of the present application may be used to identify services that require the terminal equipment to be connected to the first network and / or services that do not require the terminal equipment to be connected to the first network.

[0132] For example, the service priority can be used to indicate a first service group, which is a service that the terminal device needs to connect to the first network (e.g., the terminal needs to recover from an idle state or an RRC-Inactive state to a connected state), and if the service to be transmitted belongs to the first service group, the first network can determine that the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network, and if the service to be transmitted does not belong to the first service group, the first network can determine that the terminal device does not need to establish a connection with the first network. Also, for example, the service priority can be used to indicate a second service group, which is a service that the terminal device does not need to connect to the first network, and if the service to be transmitted belongs to the second service group, the first network can determine that the terminal device does not need to establish a connection with the first network, and if the service to be transmitted belongs to the first service group, the first network can determine that the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network. Further, for example, the service priority can be used to indicate a first service group and a second service group, the first service group being services that require the terminal equipment to be connected to the first network and the second service group being services that do not require the terminal equipment to be connected to the first network, and if the service to be transmitted belongs to the first service group, the first network can determine that the terminal equipment needs to establish a connection with the first network, and if the service to be transmitted belongs to the second service group, the first network can determine that the terminal equipment does not need to establish a connection with the first network.

[0133] The first strategy corresponds to different information at different times and / or different locations, for example, the first strategy includes service priorities at different times and / or different locations, and the priorities of the same service may be different at different times and / or different locations, and for example, the services included in the second information that the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network at different times and / or different locations are different.

[0134] The service priority may include a service priority at a particular location and / or a service priority at a particular time, see specifically above.

[0135] A service in an embodiment of the present application may be represented by a service identifier.

[0136] In an embodiment of the present application, the first network can determine the service to be transmitted according to the service identifier in the user plane data packet.

[0137] The service identifier can be added to the differentiated services code point (DSCP) field of the header of an IPv4 / IPv6 user plane data packet.

[0138] When the service identifier in the user plane data packet matches the service identifier of the first strategy, the first network can use the strategy corresponding to the service identifier to determine whether the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network. For example, when the first strategy includes a plurality of service identifiers and their corresponding priorities, the first network can determine whether the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network according to the corresponding priorities in the first strategy of the service identifiers in the user plane data packet.

[0139] The embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit the manner in which the first network obtains the first strategy, and all or part of the information of the first strategy is obtained from at least one of a terminal device, a signature information and strategy, and a policy charging control (PCC) strategy.

[0140] As an example, the terminal device can transmit some or all of the information in the first strategy to the network device. The terminal device can transmit some or all of the information in the first strategy to the first network by a NAS message, for example, the terminal device can transmit or update some or all of the information in the first strategy to the first network during a registration process and / or a PDU session establishment process and / or a PDU session modification process.

[0141] As another example, a unified data management (UDM) network element can send signature information to the first network, and the signature information can carry some or all of the information in the first strategy. The UDM network element can send or update some or all of the information in the first strategy to the first network during the terminal device registration process and / or the PDU session establishment process and / or the PDU session modification process.

[0142] As a further example, a policy control function (PCF) network element can send a PCC policy to the first network, and the PCC policy can carry some or all of the information in the first policy. The PCF network element can send or update some or all of the information in the first policy to the first network during a terminal device registration process and / or a PDU session establishment process and / or a PDU session modification process.

[0143] At S520, in response to the first message, the terminal device establishes a connection with the first network.

[0144] In this case, the first network sends the first message to the terminal device only if it determines that the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network, otherwise the first network does not send the first message to the terminal device.

[0145] At S530, the terminal device determines whether to establish a connection with the first network according to the first message.

[0146] The first message may include indication information, which is used to indicate whether the terminal equipment needs to establish a connection with the first network, and the terminal equipment may establish or not establish a connection with the first network according to the indication information.

[0147] For example, if the instruction information indicates that the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network, then after the terminal device receives the instruction information, it establishes a connection with the first network; if the instruction information indicates that the terminal device does not need to establish a connection with the first network, then after the terminal device receives the instruction information, it does not establish a connection with the first network, and the terminal device can continue to remain in the network in its current connected state.

[0148] The indication information can be indicated by a bit, for example, one bit can indicate the indication information, where a value of the bit is 0 indicates that the terminal device does not need to establish a connection with the first network, and a value of the bit is 1 indicates that the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network.

[0149] Also, for example, the terminal device can determine whether to establish a connection with the first network according to whether a first instruction is carried in the first message, the first instruction carried in the first message indicates that the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network, and the first instruction not carried in the first message indicates that the terminal device does not need to establish a connection with the first network, the first instruction being sent when the first network determines that the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network.

[0150] When the first network has a service that triggers the terminal device to send a first message, the first network can determine whether the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network. When the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network, the first network carries a first instruction in the first message, and when the terminal device does not need to establish a connection with the first network, the first network does not carry the first instruction in the first message. After receiving the first message sent by the first network, the terminal device first determines whether to carry the first instruction in the first message, and if the first message carries the first instruction, the terminal device establishes a connection with the first network, and if the first message does not carry the first instruction, the terminal device does not establish a connection with the first network.

[0151] Optionally, as shown in Fig. 8, the terminal device can send a second instruction to the network device, which is used to instruct the first network to determine whether the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network according to the first strategy and / or the service to be transmitted. After receiving the second instruction sent by the terminal device, the first network determines whether the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network according to the above-described manner. For example, when the terminal is in a CM-IDLE state or an RRC-Inactive state, the first network will detect a data packet sent to the terminal equipment, and if there is a data packet of a specific service in the downlink that triggers paging (for example, determined according to the service priority), the first network will determine to send a paging message to the terminal equipment according to the specific service (as shown in S603-1 of FIG. 6), or carry a first instruction in the paging message (as shown in S603-2 of FIG. 6), or carry service information in the paging message (as shown in S420 of FIG. 4), and when the UE is in an RRC-Inactive state, the first network will perform a combination of the methods shown in FIG. 7.

[0152] If the first network does not receive the second instruction sent by the terminal equipment, the first network will not detect a data packet sent to the terminal equipment and will send the paging message to the terminal equipment as long as there is a service that triggers paging.

[0153] The second instruction may be one that is sent to the first network, for example when the terminal device decides to leave the first network or decides to disconnect from the first network.

[0154] As an example, take the process in which the terminal equipment first connects to a first network, then switches to a second network, and then switches from the second network to the first network as an example. The terminal equipment first connects to the first network using USIM-1, and then needs to connect to the second network using USIM-2 to perform service-1 (e.g., voice service), and the terminal equipment needs to disconnect from the first network because the terminal has limited capability (send and receive data from only one network). In this case, the terminal equipment can send a second instruction to the first network. In this case, the first network can judge according to the second instruction using the method described above, and if there is a service that needs to be transmitted in the first network, the first network can judge according to the method described above and determine whether the terminal equipment needs to establish a connection with the first network. If the first network does not receive the second instruction sent by the terminal equipment, the first network does not need to execute the method described above, and can directly send a paging message to the terminal equipment without judgment.

[0155] When the terminal device switches from USIM-2 back to USIM-1 after completing service-1, i.e. disconnecting the connection between USIM-2 and the second network and establishing a connection (e.g., RRC connection) with the first network through USIM-1, the terminal can send a third instruction (as shown in FIG. 9 ) to the first network, which can be used to instruct the first network to stop determining whether the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network according to the first strategy and / or the service to be transmitted. If the first network receives the third instruction, it can stop the method described above according to the third instruction.

[0156] Optionally, the second instruction or the third instruction in the embodiment of the present application may be transmitted by the terminal device to the first network through a NAS message or an RRC message. If the RRC message is transmitted, the RAN node can transmit the "second instruction" or the "third instruction" to a core network node (e.g., AMF, SMF) after receiving the "second instruction" or the "third instruction".

[0157] Hereinafter, the wireless communication method according to the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail by taking the case where the first message is a paging message as an example in combination with Figure 6. The method as shown in Figure 6 includes steps S601 to S610.

[0158] In S601, the USIM-1 of the terminal device completes registration or attachment in a first network, and the USIM-2 of the terminal device completes registration or attachment in a second network. The terminal device is currently in a CM-connected state with the second network and in a disconnected state with the first network.

[0159] The first network may include RAN-1 and CN-1, and the second network includes RAN-2 and CN-2.

[0160] In S602, CN-1 detects a service that needs to trigger a paging message. There are two ways to trigger a paging message: 1. application data packet; 2. request message triggered by a third-party server.

[0161] CN-1 can determine which service the service that triggers the paging message belongs to, for example, CN-1 determines that the service that triggers the paging message is service-1.

[0162] If the paging message is triggered by an application data packet, CN-1 executes a flow detection function to determine that the data packet corresponds to service-1. This process can be performed by a user plane network element in CN-1.

[0163] If the paging message is triggered by a third-party server, the process may be that the third-party server sends a request message to a control plane network element via the control plane, triggering CN-1 to send a paging message to the terminal equipment, and the control plane network element may be, for example, a PCF network element.

[0164] CN-1 can determine according to the service information whether the terminal equipment needs to establish a connection with the first network.

[0165] With reference to the above description, CN-1 can determine, according to the service information and the second information, whether the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network.

[0166] The second information may be understood as a strategy, and may include at least one of service priorities, services for which the terminal equipment requires to establish a connection with the first network, and services for which the terminal equipment does not require to establish a connection with the first network.

[0167] The manner in which CN-1 determines whether the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network according to the service information and the second information is similar to the manner in which the terminal device determines whether it needs to establish a connection with the first network according to the first information and the second information as shown in FIG. 3, and will not be repeated here.

[0168] In the embodiment of the present application, the manner in which CN-1 instructs the terminal device whether it needs to establish a connection with the first network is the manner described in steps S603-1 and S603-2 respectively.

[0169] In S603-1, CN-1 determines whether to send a paging message to the terminal device according to the judgment result. If CN-1 determines that the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network, CN-1 can send a paging message to the terminal device, and if CN-1 determines that the terminal device does not need to establish a connection with the first network, CN-1 does not need to send a paging message to the terminal device.

[0170] Similarly, when CN-1 uses a paging message to directly indicate whether the terminal equipment needs to establish a connection with the first network, as long as the terminal equipment receives the paging message, it will establish a connection with the first network; if the terminal equipment does not receive the paging message, the terminal equipment will not establish a connection with the first network.

[0171] In S603-2, CN-1 determines whether a first instruction needs to be added to the paging message according to the judgment result, in which case, regardless of whether the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network, CN-1 sends a paging message to the terminal device, but indicates the judgment result to the terminal device through the first instruction.

[0172] When CN-1 determines that the terminal equipment needs to establish a connection with the first network, CN-1 may add a first instruction to the paging message, and when CN-1 determines that the terminal equipment does not need to establish a connection with the first network, CN-1 may not need to add the first instruction to the paging message.

[0173] Similarly, when CN-1 indicates whether the terminal equipment needs to establish a connection with the first network through the manner of the first instruction, after the terminal equipment receives the paging message, it can determine whether to establish a connection with the first network according to whether the paging message carries the first instruction: if the paging message contains the first instruction, the terminal equipment establishes a connection with the first network, and if the paging message does not carry the first instruction, the terminal equipment does not establish a connection with the first network.

[0174] In the embodiment of the present application, CN-1 sending a paging message to a terminal device can refer to CN-1 sending a paging message to the terminal device through RAN-1, that is, CN-1 can send a paging message to RAN-1, and RAN-1 sends a paging message to the terminal device according to the paging message sent by CN-1.

[0175] In S604, CN-1 sends a paging message to RAN-1 according to S603-1 or the judgment result of S603-1, or carries a first instruction in the paging message.

[0176] In S605, after receiving the paging message sent by CN-1, RAN-1 sends a paging message to the terminal device.

[0177] RAN-1 can transparently transmit the paging message sent by CN-1 to the terminal equipment.

[0178] In S606, after the terminal equipment receives the paging message sent by RAN-1, it establishes or does not establish a connection with the first network according to the instruction of the paging message.

[0179] When the terminal equipment is connected to the second network, it still monitors the paging request message of SIM-1 at the specified time point, ie, monitors whether RAN-1 has sent a paging message to the terminal equipment.

[0180] If the paging message is sent according to the strategy of step S603-1, after the terminal device receives the paging message, it can establish a connection with the first network.

[0181] If the paging message is sent according to the strategy of step S603-2, after the terminal device receives the paging message, it can first determine whether the paging message carries a first indication, if the paging message carries the first indication, the terminal device establishes a connection with the first network, if the paging message does not carry the first indication, the terminal device does not establish a connection with the first network.

[0182] When the terminal device determines that a connection with the first network needs to be established, the terminal device may perform step S670.

[0183] In S607, the terminal device sends a first request message to RAN-1, where the first request message may be an RRC connection establishment request message, or the first message may be an RRC recovery request message.

[0184] When the terminal device and RAN-1 are in the RRC idle state, the terminal device can send an RRC connection establishment request message to RAN-1, and when the terminal device and RAN-1 are in the RRC inactive state, the terminal device can send an RRC recovery request message to RAN-1.

[0185] When the terminal device sends the first request message, the first request message may carry a cause value, indicating the cause of the terminal device sending the first request message. The cause value may include an identifier of a SIM card switching and / or a specific service.

[0186] In S608, after receiving an RRC connection establishment request message sent by the terminal equipment, RAN-1 can send an RRC establishment (setup) message to the terminal equipment, and after receiving an RRC recovery request message sent by the terminal equipment, RAN-1 can send an RRC recovery (resume) message to the terminal equipment.

[0187] In S609, after the terminal equipment receives the RRC setup message, it can send an RRC establishment complete message to RAN-1, and after the terminal equipment receives the RRC Resume message sent by RAN-1, it can send an RRC recovery complete message to RAN-1.

[0188] At S610, the terminal device initiates a NAS message to CN-1, for example, the terminal device sends a service request message or a registration request message to CN-1 to enter a CM-connected state.

[0189] The manner in which the first network determines whether the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network is similar to the manner in which the terminal device determines whether it needs to establish a connection with the first network described above.

[0190] The first network can determine whether the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network according to the service information. The first network device can determine whether the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network according to the importance of the service information.

[0191] For example, the first network can determine whether the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network according to the service information and the second information, where the second information can include at least one of service priority, a service that the terminal device needs to establish a connection with the first network, and a service that the terminal device does not need to establish a connection with the first network.

[0192] For the sake of brevity, it will not be repeated here.

[0193] As described above, when the first network receives an application data packet or a request message triggered by a third-party server, the first network can send a paging message to the terminal device.

[0194] The paging message may have been sent to the terminal equipment by an access network equipment, for example the access network equipment may send the paging message to the terminal equipment over the air interface.

[0195] The access network equipment can send a paging message to the terminal equipment according to the third message, and the third message may be obtained from a core network control plane equipment or a user plane equipment, that is, the core network equipment can send the third message to the access network equipment via the user plane equipment or the control plane equipment.

[0196] The third message may include the first indication and / or the service identifier.

[0197] As an example, when the decision is performed by the terminal equipment, when there is a service that triggers the core network equipment to send a third message, the core network equipment can send the third message directly to the access network equipment and add a service identifier to the third message.

[0198] As another example, when the decision is performed by a network equipment, when there is a service that triggers the core network equipment to send a third message, the core network equipment can determine whether the terminal equipment needs to establish a connection with the first network according to the service and the first strategy, and when the terminal equipment needs to establish a connection with the first network, the core network equipment can add a first instruction to the third message, and send the third message with the first instruction added to the access network equipment.

[0199] As shown in Figure 7, the network equipment corresponding to SIM-1 includes RAN-1 and CN-1, and the network equipment corresponding to SIM-2 includes RAN-2 and CN-2. A terminal equipment can communicate with RAN-1 and / or CN-1 through SIM-1, and a terminal equipment can communicate with RAN-2 and / or CN-2 through SIM-2.

[0200] The method as shown in FIG. 7 includes steps S710 and S720.

[0201] At S710, CN-1 sends a third message to the access network device. When there is a service arriving in the first network, CN-1 can send a third message to the access network device.

[0202] At S720, after RAN-1 receives the third message sent by CN-1, it can send a paging message to the terminal device, which can refer to the first message described above.

[0203] The third message may be a paging message or a GPRS tunnelling protocol (GTP-U) message. For example, the third message sent from the core network control plane equipment to the access network equipment may be a paging message. For example, the third message sent from the user plane equipment to the access network equipment may be a GTP-U message.

[0204] When the terminal device and the first network are in a CM-idle state, in this case, when both the air interface between the terminal device and the access network device and the N2 interface between the access network device and the core network device are in a released state, the third message sent from the core network to the access network is a paging message, and the first message sent from the access network device to the terminal device is a paging message. When sending the paging message from the core network device to the access network device, it can be sent via a control plane device.

[0205] When the terminal device and the first network are in an RRC-inactive state, in this case, the air interface between the terminal device and the access network device is released, but the N2 interface between the access network device and the core network device is not released, which does not trigger the core network device to send a paging message to the access network device. When there is a service arriving, the core network device can send a GTP-U message to the access network device through the user plane device, and the access network device sends a paging message to the terminal device after receiving the user plane data.

[0206] Whether the third message sent from the core network equipment to the access network equipment is a paging message or a GTP-U message, both of the paging message and the GTP-U message can include the first information, and the terminal equipment determines whether to establish a connection with the first network according to the first information.

[0207] The first information and / or the first instruction included in the paging message is transmitted with a granularity of the UE ID.

[0208] One UE ID may correspond to one USIM, for example one UE ID may correspond to one Subscription Permanent Identifier (SUPI) or Globally Unique Temporary UE Identity (GUTI).

[0209] Take the case where the first message includes a paging message as an example, and each paging message has a corresponding service information. After receiving the paging message, the terminal equipment can find the service information corresponding to its UE ID, and then determine whether to establish a connection with the first network according to the service information.

[0210] For example, the positions where the first information and the first instruction are added to a two-stage paging message as shown in Fig. 7 will be described. The above description can be referred to for the meanings of the first information and the first instruction. The first information and the first instruction may be indicated by reusing a field in a conventional paging message, or may be indicated by re-adding one field to the conventional paging message.

[0211] For the paging message in S710, the format of the paging message sent from CN-1 to RAN-1 is shown in Table 4. [Table 4]

[0212] TAI stands for tracking area identity of the UE, and IE stands for information element.

[0213] The first information can be added to a field of Assistance Data for Paging, e.g., Option 1 as shown in Table 4, and the first information can also be added to one new parameter, Option 2 as shown in Table 4, which is used to indicate the first information by adding one new field in the paging message as shown in Table 4.

[0214] The first indication can be added to the Paging Priority field, e.g., option 1 as shown in Table 4, and the first indication can also be added to one new parameter, e.g., option 2 as shown in Table 4, which is used to indicate the first information by adding one new field in the paging message as shown in Table 4.

[0215] The paging message sent from CN-1 to RAN-1 may be of UE ID granularity, and one paging message can be used to page multiple terminal devices simultaneously. When CN-1 carries the first information and / or the first instruction through the paging message, it can identify the first information and / or the first instruction sent to different terminal devices through the UE ID.

[0216] For the paging message in S720, the format of the paging message sent from RAN-1 to the terminal equipment is shown below. Paging::= SEQUENCE { pagingRecordList PagingRecordListOPTIONAL,--Need N lateNonCriticalExtension OCTET STRING OPTIONAL, nonCriticalExtension SEQUENCE{} OPTIONAL } PagingRecordList::= SEQUENCE(SIZE(1..maxNrofPageRec)) OF PagingRecord PagingRecord::= SEQUENCE { ue-Identity PagingUE-Identity, accessType ENUMERATED {non3GPP} OPTIONAL, -- Need N "Service Information" or "First Instructions" ... } PagingUE-Identity::= CHOICE { ng-5G-S-TMSI NG-5G-S-TMSI, fullI-RNTI I-RNTI-Value, ... } -- TAG-PAGING-STOP -- ASN1STOP

[0217] The first information can be added to a field of a paging record, the paging record includes the first information of multiple terminal devices, and the first information of different terminal devices can be distinguished by UE-ID, and each UE-ID has one corresponding first information.

[0218] The first instruction can be added to a field in the "Paging Record" and realized by a new possible value in the Paging Record, or the first instruction can be indicated by re-adding a parameter to the paging message.

[0219] The paging message sent from RAN-1 to the terminal device can be used to page multiple terminal devices simultaneously, so that the first information and the first instruction are sent with the granularity of UE-ID, and thus, after the terminal device receives the paging message, it determines whether to establish a connection with the first network according to the service identifier corresponding to its UE-ID and / or the first instruction.

[0220] Embodiments of the present application can further reduce overall system complexity by reusing conventional processes to transmit the second information to the terminal equipment and reusing fields in conventional paging messages to transmit the first information and / or the first indication.
