Wearable devices, also known as wearable smart devices, are a general term for devices that utilize wearable technology to intelligently design and develop everyday wearables, such as glasses, gloves, watches, clothing, and shoes. Wearable devices are portable devices that are worn directly on the body or integrated into the user's clothing or accessories. Wearable devices are not merely hardware devices, but also achieve powerful functions through software support, data interaction, and cloud interaction. Broadly speaking, wearable smart devices include those that are feature-rich, large in size, and can achieve complete or partial functions without relying on a smartphone, such as smartwatches or smart glasses, as well as those that focus on a specific type of application function and require the use of other devices such as smartphones, such as various smart bracelets and smart jewelry for vital sign monitoring.

Optionally, the network device may be a satellite or a balloon station. For example, the satellite may be a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite, a medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellite, a geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellite, a high elliptical orbit (HEO) satellite, etc. Optionally, the network device may also be a base station located on land, water, or other similar locations.

[0043] In this embodiment, the network device can provide services to a cell. The terminal device communicates with the network device through the transmission resources (e.g., frequency domain resources, or spectrum resources) used by the cell. The cell can be the cell corresponding to the network device (e.g., a base station). The cell can belong to a macro base station or to a base station corresponding to a small cell. The small cell can include: metro cell, micro cell, pico cell, femto cell, etc. These small cells have the characteristics of small coverage area and low transmission power, and are suitable for providing high-speed data transmission services.

[0044] As exemplified, the communication system 100 used in this application embodiment is shown in FIG1. ​​The communication system 100 may include a network device 110, which may be a device that communicates with a terminal device 120 (or a communication terminal, terminal). The network device 110 can provide communication coverage for a specific geographical area and can communicate with terminal devices located within the coverage area.

[0045] Figure 1 illustrates an exemplary network device and two terminal devices. Optionally, the communication system 100 may include multiple network devices, and each network device may include other numbers of terminal devices within its coverage area. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0046] Optionally, the communication system 100 may also include other network entities such as a network controller and a mobility management entity, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0047] It should be understood that devices with communication functions in the network / system of this application embodiment can be referred to as communication devices. Taking the communication system 100 shown in FIG1 as an example, the communication device may include a network device 110 and a terminal device 120 with communication functions. The network device 110 and the terminal device 120 can be the specific devices described above, which will not be repeated here. The communication device may also include other devices in the communication system 100, such as network controllers, mobility management entities, and other network entities. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0048] It should be understood that the terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably in this document. The term "and / or" in this document merely describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone. Furthermore, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0049] It should be understood that the term "instruction" mentioned in the embodiments of this application can be a direct instruction, an indirect instruction, or an indication of a relationship. For example, A instructing B can mean that A directly instructs B, such as B being able to obtain information through A; it can also mean that A indirectly instructs B, such as A instructing C, so B can obtain information through C; or it can mean that there is a relationship between A and B.

[0050] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the term "correspondence" may indicate that there is a direct or indirect correspondence between two things, or that there is an association between two things, or that there is a relationship of instruction and being instructed, configuration and being configured, etc.

[0051] In this application embodiment, "predefined" can be implemented by pre-storing corresponding codes, tables, or other means that can be used to indicate relevant information in the device (e.g., including terminal devices and network devices). This application does not limit the specific implementation method. For example, predefined can refer to what is defined in the protocol.

[0052] In this application embodiment, the "protocol" may refer to a standard protocol in the field of communication, such as the LTE protocol, the NR protocol, and related protocols applied to future communication systems. This application does not limit this.

[0053] With the development of communication technology, multi-SIM terminals (e.g., dual-SIM terminals) have shown more technological advantages and commercial prospects than traditional single-SIM terminals. Currently, many mobile terminals (such as mobile phones) support multi-SIM (e.g., dual-SIM) reception. As shown in Figure 2, a dual-SIM terminal refers to a terminal device that simultaneously registers two SIM cards, both of which establish connections with network equipment. Optionally, these two SIM cards can correspond to different standards, such as GSM, CDMA, LTE, or NR; that is, the network equipment can be a network device within a GSM, CDMA, LTE, or NR system.

[0054] For example, SIM1 is an LTE standard and SIM2 is an NR standard.

[0055] For example, SIM1 is an LTE standard and SIM2 is a CDMA standard.

[0056] For example, SIM1 is an LTE standard and SIM2 is a GSM standard.

[0057] For example, SIM1 is of NR standard and SIM2 is of GSM standard.

[0058] For example, SIM1 is an NR standard and SIM2 is a CDMA standard.

[0059] For example, SIM1 is a GSM standard and SIM2 is a CDMA standard.

[0060] Dual SIM Dual Standby (DSDS) is a common dual SIM dual standby solution. A DSDS terminal is equipped with only one set of transceiver radios (RF). When the terminal is in standby mode, both SIMs can listen for paging messages in a time-sharing manner. However, because a DSDS terminal only has one RF, it can only achieve dual SIM dual standby, not simultaneous communication. For example, when one SIM uses the RF for data transmission, because that SIM fully occupies the RF hardware, the other SIM will not be able to receive paging requests due to a lack of available RF hardware, thus preventing communication. To achieve simultaneous communication, Dual SIM Dual Active (DSDA) technology has been widely researched and commercially implemented. In one DSDA implementation, the DSDA terminal is equipped with two sets of RFs, meaning each SIM corresponds to an independent RF. Thus, when one SIM uses one RF for voice data transmission, the other SIM can also use the other RF to receive paging messages and communicate. In another implementation of DSDA technology, a set of transceiver radio frequencies is configured in the terminal, and the two SIMs achieve DSDA communication through time-division multiplexing or sharing.

[0061] In some scenarios, traditional Channel State Information (CSI) reporting typically includes three types: Periodic CSI (P-CSI), Semi-persistent CSI (SP-CSI), and Aperiodic CSI (A-CSI). P-CSI is periodically transmitted based on Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration and does not require dynamic triggering after configuration. SP-CSI is triggered by the Media Access Control (MACCE) element or Downlink Control Information (DCI) and is transmitted periodically after triggering. A-CSI is triggered by the DCI (which triggers uplink data PUSCH transmission) and is reported only once on the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) within a specified time slot after triggering.

[0062] In some scenarios, the priority calculation for CSI reporting is defined as follows: Pri iCSI (y,k,c,s)=2·N cells ·M s ·y+N cells ·M s ·k+M s ·c+s

[0063] Where y is related to the CSI reporting type: if it is A-CSI, then y = 0; if it is SP-CSI transmitted on PUSCH, then y = 1; if it is SP-CSI transmitted on PUCCH, then y = 2; if it is P-CSI transmitted on the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), then y = 3.

[0064] k is related to the CSI report. If the CSI reports the Layer 1 Reference Signal Receiving Power (L1-RSRP) or the Layer 1 Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (L1-SINR), then k = 0; otherwise, k = 1.

[0065] c is the serving cell index, and Ncells is the maximum number of serving cells.

[0066] s is the reported configuration identifier (ID), M s This is the maximum number of configurations that CSI can report.

[0067] The smaller the value calculated by the above formula, the higher the priority of the CSI report. If there is a time-frequency domain overlap conflict between the resources carrying two CSI reports, the terminal will prioritize the high-priority CSI report, while the low-priority CSI report will be reused or abandoned.

[0068] CSI calculations in terminal devices involve significant matrix operations and have very high computational complexity, requiring a certain amount of CPU resources. In user capability reporting, the terminal reports each component carrier (CC) via parallel CSI (simultaneous CSI - ReportsPerCC) or all component carriers via parallel CSI (simultaneous CSI - ReportsAllCC), supporting a maximum parallel CSI computing capability (or parallel CSI processing capability) N. CPU Reporting to the base station. Assume that each CSI report (n = 0, ..., N-1) uses approximately [number of CPUs]. The terminal device does not need to perform calculations for the relatively low-priority NM CSI reports, where 0 ≤ M ≤ N is satisfied. The maximum value of the constraint condition, where L can be understood as the number of CPUs already used for CSI reporting calculations. The number of CPUs used by the terminal device for CSI reporting calculations varies depending on the CSI measurement configuration type. For example, when the network side is configured to configure the terminal device for time-frequency offset tracking measurements, the terminal device will not use CPUs for CSI reporting calculations, i.e., O(L). CPU =0; however, if this CSI report is used for beam measurement, calculating this CSI report will occupy a single CPU, i.e., O. CPU =1; If the terminal device is configured for fast CSI reporting, calculating this CSI report will consume all CPU resources, O CPU =N CPU If the terminal is configured to report regular, non-beam, non-time-frequency tracking, and non-fast CSI reports, calculating the CSI report will consume K. s CPU(O CPU =K s ), where K sThis indicates the number of non-zero power (NZP) Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) resources associated with the CSI report used for channel measurement.

[0069] However, in multi-SIM terminal application scenarios, how to report the CSI parallel processing capability of terminal devices is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0070] One solution: Report the maximum CSI parallel computing capability supported by the terminal device for each SIM in a multi-SIM setup.

[0071] This approach may result in the network devices simultaneously configuring CSI reporting configurations that exceed the terminal devices' maximum CSI parallel computing capabilities, causing some CSI reports configured by the network devices to fail to receive timely responses. This, to some extent, leads to a waste of configuration or scheduling resources on the network device side.

[0072] Another solution is to report a portion of the maximum CSI parallel computing capacity of the terminal device for each SIM in a multi-SIM setup. That is, a static CPU allocation is used among the multiple SIMs. The drawback is that when the secondary SIM is idle, the number of CSI reports configured on the network device of the primary SIM cannot reach the maximum CSI parallel processing capacity of the terminal device, which to some extent wastes computing resources on the terminal device side.

[0073] Therefore, how to report the appropriate CSI parallel processing capability of multi-SIM terminals in order to balance the utilization of computing resources on the terminal device side and the configuration or scheduling resources of network devices is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0074] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, the technical solutions of this application are described in detail below through specific embodiments. The above-mentioned related technologies are optional solutions and can be arbitrarily combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, all of which fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application. The embodiments of this application include at least some of the following contents.

[0075] Figure 3 is a schematic interactive diagram of a wireless communication method 200 according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 3, the method 200 includes the following:

[0076] S210, the terminal device reports the Channel State Information (CSI) parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM.

[0077] Correspondingly, the network device receives the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM reported by the terminal device.

[0078] It should be understood that in the embodiments of this application, SIM can also be replaced by a Universal Subscriber Identity Module.

[0079] In some embodiments, the terminal device is a multi-SIM device or a multi-SIM UE, or the terminal device has multiple SIMs, and the first SIM may be one of the multiple SIMs.

[0080] In some embodiments, the plurality of SIMs may be two SIMs, or may be more than one SIM.

[0081] In some embodiments, the plurality of SIMs includes a first SIM and a second SIM, or may include more SIMs, such as a third SIM, which is not limited in this application.

[0082] In some embodiments, the first SIM is the primary SIM and the second SIM is the secondary SIM.

[0083] In some embodiments, the second SIM is the primary SIM and the first SIM is the secondary SIM.

[0084] In some embodiments, the primary and secondary SIMs among the plurality of SIMs can be configured through the primary and secondary SIM configuration of the terminal device. Optionally, the primary and secondary SIM configuration can be user-defined, or it can be predefined.

[0085] In some embodiments, the primary SIM is also called the default data subscriber (DDS), and the secondary SIM is also called the non-default data subscriber (nDDS).

[0086] In some embodiments, the terminal device can use multiple SIMs for communication. For example, multiple connections can be established with network devices using multiple SIMs. Optionally, the terminal device can use multiple SIMs to establish multiple connections with different network devices, or it can establish multiple connections with a single network device.

[0087] For example, the first SIM can establish a connection with the first network device, and the second SIM can establish a connection with the second network device. The first network device and the second network device can be different network devices, or they can be the same network device.

[0088] In some embodiments, the plurality of SIMs may correspond to different standards, or different radio access technologies (RATs), or they may correspond to the same standard or RAT.

[0089] Optionally, the standard or RAT corresponding to the plurality of SIMs may include at least one of the following:

[0090] GSM, CDMA, LTE, NR.

[0091] In some embodiments, the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM may refer to:

[0092] In the case of multiple SIMs coexisting (or, when the terminal device uses multiple SIMs for communication, or, when CSI reporting on multiple SIMs coexists), the terminal device's parallel processing capability for CSI reporting on the first SIM, or the parallel processing capability that the terminal device allocates to CSI reporting on the first SIM.

[0093] In some embodiments, CSI reporting on the first SIM may refer to: reporting CSI to the network device corresponding to the first SIM.

[0094] In the application embodiments, CSI parallel processing capability, or CSI parallel computing capability, can refer to the information related to the processing unit reported by CSI, such as the number of processing units reported by CSI and the length of time occupied by the processing unit.

[0095] In the application embodiments, the processing unit is also called the computing unit, CPU, processing resources, and computing resources.

[0096] In some embodiments of this application, the method 200 further includes:

[0097] The terminal device reports the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the second SIM.

[0098] Correspondingly, the network device receives the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the second SIM reported by the terminal device.

[0099] The following explanation uses the reporting of CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM as an example. The implementation of reporting CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the second SIM is similar, for the sake of simplicity.

[0100] It should be understood that the first SIM can be any one of the multiple SIMs of the terminal device, and this application does not limit it.

[0101] In some embodiments, the terminal device may report the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM, which may include:

[0102] The terminal device reports the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM to the first network device, wherein the first network device is the network device that establishes a connection with the first SIM of the terminal device.

[0103] In some embodiments, the first network device may configure at least one CSI reporting configuration for the terminal device, and further, the terminal device may perform CSI reporting on the first SIM based on the at least one CSI reporting configuration.

[0104] In some embodiments, the CSI reporting configuration includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following configurations:

[0105] CSI resource: At least one CSI resource for channel measurement needs to be configured;

[0106] Reporting type configuration (reportConfigType): Used to indicate the time-domain characteristics of CSI reporting, such as periodic, semi-persistent, or aperiodic.

[0107] Reporting Frequency Configuration (reportFreqConfiguration): Used to indicate the frequency domain characteristics of CSI reporting, such as wideband reporting or narrowband reporting;

[0108] Report Quantity: Used to indicate the content to be reported, such as none, CSI Resource Indicator (CRI) - Rank Indication (RI) - Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI) - Channel Quantity Indicator (CQI) (cri-RI-PNI-CQI), cri-RI-i1, cri-RI-i1-CQI, cri-RI-CQI, cri-Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) - Index-RSRP, and cri-RI-LI-PMI-CQI, etc.

[0109] Codebook Configuration: Used to indicate the type of codebook to be reported, such as Type I and Type II.

[0110] In some embodiments, the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM is reported periodically, or semi-continuously, or non-periodically.

[0111] Optionally, when the CSI reporting configuration on the first SIM is configured for periodic CSI reporting, the terminal device can periodically report the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM. Optionally, the reporting period for the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM is related to the CSI reporting period. For example, the reporting period for the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM is X time units, and the CSI reporting period is Y time units. Optionally, X and Y can be the same, or X can be an integer multiple of Y, which helps ensure timely updates to the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM and facilitates timely adjustments to the CSI reporting configuration on the first SIM by the network device. For example, when the CSI parallel processing capability corresponding to the first SIM decreases, the network device can adjust the CSI reporting configuration accordingly.

[0112] In some embodiments, the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM is reported by the terminal device itself.

[0113] For example, the terminal device reports the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM based on event triggering.

[0114] Optionally, the event may include an event that triggers a change in the CSI parallel processing capability corresponding to the first SIM.

[0115] For example, the connection state between the second SIM and the corresponding network device changes. For instance, the second SIM changes from an active state (or enabled state, power-on state) to a deactivated state (or disabled state, power-off state), or from a deactivated state to an active state. The active state can refer to the establishment of a connection between the SIM and the corresponding network device, and the deactivated state can refer to the disconnection between the SIM and the corresponding network device.

[0116] For example, the primary and secondary SIM configurations of the first SIM may change, such as the first SIM being changed from the primary SIM to the secondary SIM, or vice versa.

[0117] Optionally, changing the second SIM from a deactivated state to an activated state may include:

[0118] The second SIM card is inserted into the terminal device.

[0119] Optionally, changing the second SIM from an active state to a deactivated state may include:

[0120] Remove the SIM card corresponding to the second SIM from the terminal device.

[0121] In some embodiments, the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM is reported based on a trigger from a network device (e.g., a first network device). For example, it may be reported based on a trigger from the network device's MAC CE or DCI.

[0122] Optionally, the network device can trigger the terminal device to semi-persistently report the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM via MAC CE.

[0123] Optionally, the network device can trigger the terminal device to semi-persistently or non-periodically report the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM through DCI.

[0124] In some embodiments, the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM is reported via at least one of the following signaling methods:

[0125] MAC CE, PUCCH, PUSCH.

[0126] For example, for the reporting of semi-persistent CSI parallel processing capability information, the terminal device can report the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM through the MAC CE. That is, the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM can be carried in the MAC CE.

[0127] For example, for the reporting of non-periodic CSI parallel processing capability information, the terminal device can report the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM through PUCCH or PUSCH. That is, the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM can be carried in PUCCH or PUSCH.

[0128] Therefore, in this embodiment of the application, the terminal device reports the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM to the network device in real time through MAC-CE, PUSCH or PUCCH, thereby ensuring that the network device adjusts the CSI reporting configuration in a timely manner, or adjusts the receiving method of CSI reporting, for example, not receiving CSI reports at resource locations where the terminal device discards CSI reports.

[0129] For example, when the CSI parallel processing capability corresponding to the first SIM is reduced (e.g., the second SIM is changed from deactivated to activated, or the first SIM is changed from the primary SIM to the secondary SIM), the network device can reduce the number of CSI reporting configurations, or reduce the number of CSI-RS resources configured in the CSI reporting configuration, avoid configuring reporting types that consume a lot of CPU (such as non-periodic fast CSI reporting, CSI reporting obtained by measurement using a lot of CSI-RS resources, etc.), adjust the trigger time of CSI reporting on multiple SIMs, and avoid resource conflicts in CSI reporting on multiple SIMs.

[0130] For example, when the CSI parallel processing capability corresponding to the first SIM is improved (e.g., the second SIM changes from active to deactivated, or the first SIM changes from a secondary SIM to a primary SIM), the network device can increase the number of CSI reporting configurations, or increase the number of CSI-RS resources configured in the CSI reporting configuration, and enable reporting types that consume more CPU (such as non-periodic fast CSI reporting, CSI reporting obtained by measurement using more CSI-RS resources, etc.). This helps ensure that the network device obtains more accurate channel quality information and ensures the transmission performance between the first SIM and the network device.

[0131] In some embodiments, the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM may include:

[0132] In the case of multiple SIMs coexisting (or, when the terminal device uses multiple SIMs for communication, or, when CSI reporting on multiple SIMs coexists), the processing unit information used for CSI reporting on the first SIM, or the processing unit information used for CSI reporting on the second SIM.

[0133] For example, the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM includes at least one of the following:

[0134] Available processing unit information reported by the CSI on the first SIM;

[0135] Available processing unit information reported by the CSI on the second SIM.

[0136] In some embodiments, the available processing unit information reported by the CSI on the second SIM can be used by the network device corresponding to the first SIM to adjust the CSI reporting configuration on the first SIM, so as to avoid conflicts between the processing units reported by the CSI on the first SIM and the second SIM, and / or resource conflicts between the CSI reports on the first SIM and the second SIM.

[0137] In some embodiments, the available processing unit information reported by the CSI on the first SIM includes at least one of the following:

[0138] The number of available processing units reported by the CSI on the first SIM is denoted as N. SIM1-CPU ;

[0139] CSI reporting on the first SIM occupies the available processing unit (i.e., the N). SIM1-CPU Time information for each processing unit.

[0140] For example, the time information of the CSI reported by the first SIM for the occupied processing unit includes at least one of the following:

[0141] The first SIM's CSI reporting occupancy processing unit (i.e., the N) SIM1-CPU The start time of each processing unit;

[0142] The first SIM's CSI reporting occupancy processing unit (i.e., the N) SIM1-CPU The time length of each processing unit.

[0143] In some embodiments, the available processing unit information reported by the CSI on the second SIM includes at least one of the following:

[0144] The number of available processing units reported by the CSI on the second SIM is denoted as N. SIM2-CPU ;

[0145] The CSI report on the second SIM occupies the available processing unit (i.e., N). SIM2-CPU Time information for each processing unit.

[0146] For example, the time information of the CSI on the second SIM that occupies the processing unit includes at least one of the following:

[0147] The second SIM's CSI reporting occupancy processing unit (i.e., the N) SIM2-CPU The start time of each processing unit;

[0148] The second SIM's CSI reporting occupancy processing unit (i.e., the N) SIM2-CPU The time length of each processing unit.

[0149] In some embodiments, the reporting of CSI parallel processing capability information is related to the CSI reporting type on multiple SIMs.

[0150] For example, the terminal device can determine whether to report the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM based on the CSI reporting type configured on the first SIM and / or the second SIM.

[0151] In one specific embodiment, when the CSI reporting type configured on the first SIM is non-periodic CSI reporting, the terminal device does not report the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM.

[0152] In another specific embodiment, when the CSI reporting type configured on the first SIM is periodic or semi-continuous CSI reporting, the terminal device further combines the CSI reporting type configured on the second SIM to determine whether to report the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM.

[0153] Scenario 1: The CSI reporting type configured on the second SIM is periodic CSI reporting.

[0154] In this case, the terminal device reports the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM, or when the processing units or resources reported by the CSI on the first SIM and the second SIM frequently conflict, it reports the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM.

[0155] Optionally, when the connection status (e.g., RRC status) between the second SIM and the corresponding network device changes, the terminal device determines whether the processing units reporting CSI on the first SIM and the second SIM frequently experience conflicts.

[0156] Scenario 2: The CSI reporting type configured on the second SIM is semi-persistent CSI reporting.

[0157] In this case, the terminal device reports the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM, or when the processing units or resources reported by the CSI on the first SIM and the second SIM frequently conflict, it reports the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM.

[0158] Optionally, when semi-persistent CSI reporting on the network device corresponding to the second SIM is activated or deactivated (e.g., the network device corresponding to the second SIM activates or deactivates CSI reporting on the second SIM via MAC CE), the terminal device determines whether the processing units of CSI reporting on the first SIM and the second SIM frequently conflict.

[0159] Scenario 3: The CSI reporting type configured on the second SIM is non-periodic CSI reporting.

[0160] In this case, the terminal device does not report the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM.

[0161] Optionally, in this case, if the resources used for CSI reporting on the first SIM and the second SIM frequently conflict within a certain period of time (or in other words, if CSI reporting on the first SIM and the second SIM continuously conflict), the terminal device may send a first request message to request the network device (e.g., the network device corresponding to the first SIM) to adjust the CSI reporting configuration.

[0162] It should be understood that this application does not limit the specific application scenario of the first request information. For example, when there is a relatively serious conflict in the allocation of processing units used for CSI reporting (e.g., the difference between the number of CSI reports on multiple SIMs and the maximum CSI parallel processing capability of the terminal device is greater than a certain threshold), the terminal device may not report the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM, but only report the first request information to apply for adjustment of the CSI reporting configuration. Alternatively, the terminal device may also report the CSI parallel processing capability corresponding to the first SIM and the first request information at the same time.

[0163] In some embodiments, the processing unit conflict reported by the CSI on the first SIM and the second SIM may refer to:

[0164] The number of processing units required for CSI reporting on the first and second SIMs exceeds the maximum CSI parallel processing capability N supported by the terminal device. CPU Alternatively, the number of processing units required for CSI reporting on the first and second SIMs exceeds the maximum number of processing units available to the terminal device.

[0165] In some embodiments, frequent conflicts between the processing units reporting CSI on the first SIM and the second SIM may include:

[0166] The number of times or probability of collisions in the processing units reported by the CSI on the first SIM and the second SIM meets a threshold, such as being greater than or equal to a threshold. Optionally, this threshold may be determined by the terminal device, configured by the network device, or predefined. For example, if the number of times or probability of collisions in the processing units reported by the CSI on the first SIM and the second SIM meets the threshold within a certain period of time, it can be considered that collisions in the processing units reported by the CSI on the first SIM and the second SIM occur frequently.

[0167] In some embodiments, the resource conflict reported by the CSI on the first SIM and the second SIM may refer to:

[0168] The time-frequency resources reported by the CSI on the first SIM and the second SIM overlap, for example, partially overlap, or completely overlap.

[0169] In some embodiments, frequent resource conflicts for CSI reporting on the first SIM and the second SIM within a certain period may include: the number or probability of resource conflicts for CSI reporting on the first SIM and the second SIM within a certain period meeting a threshold, for example, greater than a threshold, or greater than or equal to a threshold. Optionally, this threshold may be determined by the terminal device, configured by the network device, or predefined. Optionally, the length of this period may be predefined, configured by the network device, or determined by the terminal device.

[0170] In some specific embodiments, the reporting of CSI parallel processing capabilities and the CSI reporting type configured on the SIM can have the relationship shown in Table 1.

[0171] Table 1

[0172] It should be understood that the CSI parallel processing capability reporting mechanism corresponding to the first SIM in Table 1 is only an example. In actual applications, the content in the table can be adjusted. For example, Table 1 may only include the reporting mechanism when the CSI reporting type on the first SIM and the second SIM is a combination of periodic or non-persistent (i.e., excluding the last row and last column of the table), or it may only include the reporting mechanism when the CSI reporting type on the first SIM is a combination of periodic or semi-persistent (i.e., excluding the last row of the table), or it may only include the reporting mechanism when the CSI reporting type on the second SIM is a combination of periodic or semi-persistent (i.e., excluding the last column of the table), or it may include the reporting mechanism under all combinations of reporting types (i.e., including the complete table), or it may only include the reporting mechanism under a specific combination of CSI reporting types, which can be a combination of periodic and periodic, a combination of periodic and semi-persistent, a combination of semi-persistent and semi-persistent, a combination of periodic and non-periodic, a combination of semi-persistent and non-periodic, etc.

[0173] It should be noted that periodic or semi-persistent CSI reporting is more prone to persistent resource conflicts or processing unit conflicts than non-periodic CSI reporting, especially in scenarios where CSI reporting across multiple SIMs is periodic. Without introducing parallel CSI processing capabilities, the CSI reporting configuration on the network device side may become persistently invalid. For example, processing units or resources for CSI reporting on multiple SIMs may continuously conflict, leading to a decrease in network-side scheduling resources. In this embodiment, by reporting the parallel CSI processing capabilities corresponding to the SIM, the network device can adjust the CSI reporting configuration on the SIM in a timely manner. Specific adjustment methods are described in the relevant implementations of the foregoing embodiments, and will not be repeated here for simplicity.

[0174] In the above scenario, a change in the RRC status of a SIM or an adjustment by the network device to activate / deactivate CSI reporting on a SIM can be understood as triggering an event that changes the CSI parallel processing capability corresponding to the first SIM. When this event occurs, it leads to a change in the CSI parallel processing capability on the terminal device side. In this case, directly reporting the CSI parallel processing capability or reporting it based on conflicts in CSI reporting across multiple SIMs (e.g., resource conflicts or processing unit conflicts) helps ensure timely adjustments to the CSI reporting configuration on the network side, improving network scheduling efficiency. For the terminal device, this simplifies CSI reporting and reduces power consumption.

[0175] When periodic or semi-persistent CSI reporting frequently conflicts with aperiodic CSI reporting, the terminal device reports the first request information, requesting adjustment of the CSI reporting configuration corresponding to the periodic or semi-persistent CSI reporting, rather than adjusting the aperiodic CSI reporting, because the time distribution characteristics of periodic or semi-persistent CSI reporting are more obvious and regular. This is beneficial to improving the flexibility of adjustment and the efficiency of resolving conflict issues.

[0176] In some embodiments, new signaling may be defined to carry CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the SIM, or existing signaling may be used to carry CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the SIM. This application does not limit the specific carrying method.

[0177] In some embodiments, the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM is carried in the CSI Report.

[0178] For example, CSI reporting includes a reportQuantity Information Element (IE), and the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM is carried in the reportQuantity IE.

[0179] For example, the reportQuantity IE includes an indicator field that carries CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM. This indicator field may include, for example, the number of available processing units reported by the CSI on the first SIM, and the occupancy status of the available processing units, such as occupancy time information. Alternatively, it may also include the number of available processing units reported by the CSI on the second SIM, and the occupancy status of the available processing units, such as occupancy time information.

[0180] For example, the indication field includes at least one of the following fields:

[0181] The first available processing unit digital segment is used to carry the number of available processing units reported by the CSI on the first SIM;

[0182] The second available processing unit digital segment is used to carry the number of available processing units reported by the CSI on the second SIM;

[0183] The first time information field is used to carry the occupancy time information of the available processing units reported by the CSI on the first SIM;

[0184] The second time information field is used to carry the time information of the CSI reporting occupied processing unit on the second SIM.

[0185] Optionally, the first time information field may include a first start time field and / or a first duration field, wherein the first start time field is used to indicate the start time of CSI reporting on the first SIM occupying the available processing unit, and the first duration field is used to indicate the length of time of CSI reporting on the first SIM occupying the available processing unit.

[0186] Optionally, the second time information field may include a second start time field and / or a second duration field, wherein the second start time field is used to indicate the start time of CSI reporting on the second SIM occupying the available processing unit, and the second duration field is used to indicate the length of time of CSI reporting on the second SIM occupying the available processing unit.

[0187] In some embodiments, the reported quantity IE includes a request field, which indicates whether to request the network device to adjust the CSI reporting configuration.

[0188] Optionally, the format of reportQuantity, which carries the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM, can be as follows:

[0189] The CsiAvailCpuStatus field carries the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM. CPU_Downgrade indicates the number of available processing units reported by the CSI on the first SIM (corresponding to the first available processing unit number field), Interf_duration indicates the duration of time the CSI on the second SIM occupies the processing unit (corresponding to the second duration field), and Interf_offset indicates the start time of the CSI on the second SIM occupies the processing unit (corresponding to the second start time field).

[0190] CSI_Report_Config_Adjust_Request can be used to indicate whether to request the network device to adjust the CSI reporting configuration, corresponding to the request field.

[0191] It should be understood that the above reportQuantity is only an example. reportQuantity may also include some of the fields in this example, or it may include more fields, such as the aforementioned first start time field, first duration field, second available processing unit number field, etc.

[0192] In some embodiments of this application, if the terminal device does not update the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM, the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM can be considered still valid. In other embodiments, the terminal device can simultaneously report the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM and the validity period information of the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM, such as the start time and / or duration of the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM taking effect. Optionally, if no start time of effectiveness is reported, it can be considered that the parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM takes effect upon receipt. In this case, CsiAvailCpuStatus may optionally further include an effectiveness time field ku, used to indicate the validity period of the content indicated by other fields in CsiAvailCpuStatus.

[0193] In some embodiments of this application, the method 200 further includes:

[0194] The terminal device can report the allocation of available processing units for the CSI on the first SIM (that is, determine the parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM).

[0195] For example, the terminal device may allocate available processing units for CSI reporting on the first SIM based on first information, the first information including at least one of the following:

[0196] The maximum CSI parallel processing capability of the terminal device (i.e., N) CPU );

[0197] The length of time occupied by CSI reporting on multiple SIMs of the terminal device;

[0198] The priority of CSI reporting on multiple SIMs of the terminal device.

[0199] For example, more available processing units can be allocated to high-priority CSI reports, while fewer available processing units can be allocated to low-priority CSI devices, or none at all.

[0200] In some embodiments, the total number of available processing units allocated for CSI reporting on the plurality of SIMs is less than or equal to the maximum CSI parallel processing capability N of the terminal device. CPU .

[0201] In some embodiments, the duration of CSI reporting on the first SIM is determined based on the interval between the first symbol of the earliest CSI-RS resource configured on the first SIM and the last symbol of the PUCCH or PUSCH carrying the CSI report. This is denoted as Mode 1.

[0202] In some embodiments, the time length occupied by CSI reporting on the first SIM is determined based on the time required for the terminal device to process the CSI reporting and the number of CSI-RS resources configured on the first SIM. This is referred to as Mode 2.

[0203] In some embodiments, the terminal device uses either method 1 or method 2 to determine the time length occupied by CSI reporting on the first SIM. Alternatively, the network device (e.g., the first network device) can be configured to determine which method is used to determine the time length occupied by CSI reporting on the first SIM. Or, the terminal device can decide which method is used to determine the time length occupied by CSI reporting on the first SIM. For example, the terminal device can select a target method to determine the time length occupied by CSI reporting on the first SIM, wherein the target method is the method with the shorter time length determined in method 1 and method 2, or the method with the longer time length.

[0204] The specific implementation of the priority of CSI reporting on multiple SIMs of the terminal device is described in the relevant instructions in method 300. For the sake of brevity, it will not be repeated here.

[0205] Referring to the specific example shown in Figure 4, in this example, the maximum CSI parallel processing capability N of the terminal device... CPU =5, Based on the CSI reporting configuration on the first SIM, potential CSI reports are determined to include CSI report #11, CSI report #12, CSI report #13 and CSI report #14, and based on the CSI reporting configuration on the second SIM, potential CSI reports are determined to include CSI report #21, CSI report #22 and CSI report #23.

[0206] Based on method 300, the priority order (from high to low) of CSI reporting on the first SIM and the second SIM is determined as follows: CSI reporting #11, CSI reporting #23, CSI reporting #13, CSI reporting #21, CSI reporting #12, CSI reporting #14, and CSI reporting #22.

[0207] Based on the terminal device's maximum CSI parallel processing capability and the priority of CSI reporting, the CSI reporting to be executed can be determined as follows:

[0208] CSI reported #11, CSI reported #23, CSI reported #13, CSI reported #21, and CSI reported #12.

[0209] The CSI reports that are retained or discarded are: CSI report #14 and CSI report #22.

[0210] Then, the number of available processing units (N) of the first SIM reported by the terminal device. SIM1-CPU The number of available processing units (N) for the second SIM is 3. SIM2-CPU The value is 2.

[0211] Correspondingly, network devices can also determine the priority order of CSI reports on the first SIM and the second SIM in a similar manner to terminal devices. Furthermore, when the network device corresponding to the first SIM receives the parallel processing capability of CSI reports for the first SIM from the terminal device, it can determine that it can only receive the three highest priority CSI reports, namely CSI report #11, CSI report #13, and CSI report #12. Similarly, when the network device corresponding to the second SIM receives the parallel processing capability of CSI reports for the second SIM from the terminal device, it can determine that it can only receive the two highest priority CSI reports: CSI report #23 and CSI report #21. This avoids the reception of unnecessary CSI reports.

[0212] In summary, in this embodiment, the terminal device can allocate available processing units for CSI reporting on multiple SIMs, and further report the parallel processing capability information corresponding to the SIM to the network device. This information is used to indicate the available processing units allocated for CSI reporting on the SIM. As a result, the network device can adjust the CSI reporting configuration or adjust the expected reception of CSI reporting according to the CSI parallel processing capability corresponding to each SIM, thereby avoiding unnecessary CSI reporting reception and improving the scheduling efficiency of the network device for CSI reporting.

[0213] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of a wireless communication method 300 according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 5, the method 300 includes the following:

[0214] S310, based on the second information, determine the priority of CSI reporting on multiple SIMs of the terminal device;

[0215] The second information includes at least one of the following:

[0216] The coefficient (denoted as k) related to the content reported by CSI;

[0217] Parameters related to multi-SIM mode (denoted as MODE) MUSIM );

[0218] Parameters related to the primary and secondary SIM configuration (denoted as l).

[0219] It should be understood that the specific implementation of the terminal device, multiple SIMs, and CSI reporting on the SIMs in method 300 refers to the relevant implementation in method 200, and will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity.

[0220] It should be understood that the lower the priority value of CSI reporting, the higher the priority of CSI reporting.

[0221] In some embodiments, the multi-SIM mode includes whether the multiple SIMs share the transmitting radio frequency hardware, that is, whether they share the dual uplink transmitting resource.

[0222] Optionally, when multiple SIMs share the same transmit radio frequency hardware (e.g., a DSDS terminal), the parameter related to the multi-SIM mode takes a first value; when multiple SIMs do not share the same transmit radio frequency hardware (e.g., a DSDA terminal), the parameter related to the multi-SIM mode takes a second value, where the first value is greater than the second value. The value of the parameter related to the multi-SIM mode is negatively correlated with the priority of CSI reporting. That is, the larger the value of the parameter related to the multi-SIM mode, the lower the priority of CSI reporting; conversely, the smaller the value of the parameter related to the multi-SIM mode, the higher the priority of CSI reporting.

[0223] For example, for a DSDA terminal with two sets of transmit radio frequency hardware, there is no priority allocation issue among multiple SIMs, MODE MUSIM It can be equal to 0, that is, the second value is 0; however, for DSDS terminals with only one set of transmit radio frequency hardware, there is a priority allocation issue among multiple SIMs, so a non-zero value can be used, such as MODE. MUSIM =1, meaning the first value is 1.

[0224] In some embodiments, the primary / secondary SIM configuration includes whether the SIM is a primary SIM or a secondary SIM.

[0225] For example, when the SIM is the primary SIM (or DDS), the parameter related to the primary / secondary SIM configuration takes the third value; when the SIM is the secondary SIM (or nDDS), the parameter takes the fourth value. The third value is less than the fourth value. The value of the parameter related to the primary / secondary SIM configuration is negatively correlated with the priority of CSI reporting. That is, the larger the value of the parameter related to the primary / secondary SIM configuration, the lower the priority of CSI reporting; the smaller the value of the parameter related to the primary / secondary SIM configuration, the higher the priority of CSI reporting.

[0226] In other words, the priority of CSI reporting on the primary SIM is higher than that of CSI reporting on the secondary SIM.

[0227] Optionally, the third value can be 0, and the fourth value can be a non-zero value, such as 1.

[0228] In some embodiments, when the CSI report content is the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the SIM, the coefficient related to the CSI report content is taken as the fifth value.

[0229] When the CSI report content is channel quality information, the coefficient related to the CSI report content takes the sixth value;

[0230] When the CSI report content is not channel quality information, the coefficient related to the CSI report content takes the seventh value;

[0231] Wherein, the fifth value is not equal to the sixth value, and / or, the fifth value is not equal to the seventh value.

[0232] In other words, the priority of CSI parallel processing capability information reporting corresponding to SIM is not equal to the priority of channel quality information reporting, and / or, is not equal to the priority of non-channel quality information reporting.

[0233] In some embodiments, the non-channel quality information may refer to reported information other than channel quality information and the CSI parallel processing capability corresponding to the SIM.

[0234] In some embodiments, channel quality information may include, but is not limited to, L1-RSRP and L1-SINR.

[0235] In some embodiments, the fifth value is greater than the sixth value.

[0236] In other words, the priority of reporting CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to SIM is lower than the priority of reporting channel quality information.

[0237] In some embodiments, the fifth value is less than the seventh value.

[0238] In other words, the priority of reporting CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to SIM is higher than the priority of reporting non-channel quality information.

[0239] In some embodiments, the fifth value is greater than the sixth value and the fifth value is less than the seventh value.

[0240] In other words, the priority of reporting CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to SIM is lower than the priority of reporting channel quality information, but higher than the priority of reporting non-channel quality information.

[0241] In some embodiments, the priority of CSI reporting is determined according to the following formula: Pri iCSI (y,k,c,s,MODE MUSIM ,l)=2·N cells ·M s ·y+N cells ·M s ·k+ 0.5·N cells ·M s ·MODE MUSIM ·l+M s ·c+s

[0242] Optionally, the CSI report carries channel quality information, k=0; the CSI report carries CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the SIM, k=1; the CSI report carries non-channel quality information, k=2.

[0243] Optionally, for DSDA mode or DSDA terminal, MODE MUSIM =0, for DSDA mode or DSDA terminal, MODE MUSIM =1.

[0244] Optionally, for DDS, l = 0, and for nDDS, l = 1.

[0245] Therefore, the calculation of CSI reporting priority provided in this application embodiment can take into account both the traditional CSI reporting priority calculation and factors such as multi-SIM mode and primary / secondary SIM configuration, making the quantification of CSI priority more accurate, thereby improving the scheduling efficiency of scheduling resources corresponding to CSI reporting configuration.

[0246] In some embodiments, the priority of CSI reporting on the plurality of SIMs can be used to determine the available processing unit information allocated to CSI reporting on the plurality of SIMs. That is, to determine the parallel processing capability information corresponding to each of the plurality of SIMs.

[0247] In some embodiments, the priority of CSI reporting on the plurality of SIMs can be used to determine which CSI reports to retain or discard, or which CSI reports to execute, when time-frequency resources for CSI reporting on the plurality of SIMs conflict. For example, it can be determined that high-priority CSI reports are executed, while low-priority CSI reports are retained or discarded.

[0248] In summary, in the embodiments of this application, the terminal device can determine the priority of CSI reporting on a SIM based on at least one of the following: CSI reporting content, multi-SIM mode, and primary / secondary SIM configuration. Furthermore, it can allocate processing units for CSI reporting based on this priority, which helps ensure reasonable allocation of processing units for CSI reporting across multiple SIMs and guarantees efficient utilization of the terminal device's processing resources. Alternatively, when resource conflicts occur in CSI reporting across multiple SIMs, the priority of the CSI reporting can also be used to determine the CSI reporting to be executed, ensuring the execution of high-priority CSI reporting.

[0249] Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of a wireless communication method 400 according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 6, the method 400 includes the following:

[0250] S410, the terminal device sends a first indication information to the network device. The first indication information is used to indicate the reporting method (or update method) of the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM.

[0251] It should be understood that the specific implementation of the parallel processing capability information of the first SIM in this terminal device is described in the relevant instructions in method 200, and will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity.

[0252] In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0253] The reporting type of CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM;

[0254] The reporting cycle of CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM;

[0255] The reporting carrier for the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM.

[0256] In some embodiments, the reporting carrier includes MAC CE and / or physical uplink channel.

[0257] In some embodiments, the reporting method of the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM indicated by the first indication information can be considered as the reporting method expected (or preferred) by the terminal device.

[0258] Alternatively, the physical uplink channel can be PUSCH, or it can also be PUSCH.

[0259] In some embodiments, the reporting type of the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM includes at least one of the following: periodic reporting, semi-persistent reporting, and non-periodic reporting.

[0260] It should be understood that this application does not limit the unit of the reporting period for the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM. For example, it can be an absolute time length such as milliseconds or seconds, or a relative time length such as time slots or symbols. This application does not limit this.

[0261] In some embodiments, the first indication information can be sent via at least one of the following signaling methods:

[0262] RRC, MAC CE, PUSCH, PUCCH.

[0263] In some embodiments, the reporting carrier of the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM may be related to the multi-SIM connection status, primary and secondary SIM configuration, channel quality conditions, etc. of the terminal device.

[0264] Optionally, the multi-SIM connection status may include, but is not limited to, whether all multiple SIMs are in a connected state, or the number of SIMs that are active among the multiple SIMs.

[0265] For example, when the channel quality between the first SIM and the network device is good, the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM is reported periodically through MAC CE; or when the channel quality between the first SIM and the network device is poor, the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM is reported dynamically and in real time through PUSCH or PUCCH.

[0266] For example, when the first SIM is the primary SIM, the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM is reported through the MAC CE; or when the first SIM is the secondary SIM, the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM is reported through the PUSCH or PUCCH.

[0267] In some embodiments, the reporting period of the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM may be related to the multi-SIM connection status, primary and secondary SIM configuration, channel quality conditions, etc. of the terminal device.

[0268] For example, if the first SIM is a secondary SIM, then during non-emergency services (such as paging) on ​​the first SIM, it is not necessary to frequently report the channel status to the network device. In this case, the terminal device can request a longer reporting period from the network device.

[0269] For example, when the channel state between the first SIM and the network device is relatively stable, the terminal device can request a longer reporting period from the network device.

[0270] In summary, terminal devices can report CSI parallel processing capability information to network devices in a specific way. In this way, network devices can receive CSI parallel processing capability information according to this reporting method and further trigger subsequent CSI reporting based on the reported CSI parallel processing capability information.

[0271] It should be understood that methods 200, 300 and 400 described above can be implemented individually or in combination.

[0272] For example, the terminal device may first execute method 400, that is, report first indication information to the network device to indicate the reporting method of the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM. Further, it may execute method 200, for example, the terminal device may report the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM based on the reporting method.

[0273] For example, the terminal device can determine the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM according to method 300, such as the number of available processing units allocated for the CSI on the first SIM, and further execute method 200, that is, report the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM to the network device.

[0274] For example, the terminal device can first execute method 400, that is, report first indication information to the network device to indicate the reporting method of CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM. Further, according to method 300, the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM is determined, such as the number of available processing units allocated for CSI reporting on the first SIM. Then, method 200 is executed, that is, the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM is reported to the network device.

[0277] For example, the terminal device reports first indication information to the first network device.

[0279] For example, the terminal device reports second indication information to the second network device. The second indication information is used to indicate the reporting method of the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the second SIM. The specific implementation of the second indication information refers to the relevant description of the first indication information in method 400. For the sake of brevity, it will not be repeated here.

[0280] Optionally, the first network device and the second network device can be the same network device, or they can be different network devices.

[0281] S511, the first network device sends at least one CSI reporting configuration to the terminal device.

[0282] S512, the second network device sends at least one CSI reporting configuration to the terminal device.

[0283] S513, the terminal device determines the priority of CSI reporting on the first SIM and the second SIM based on the second information.

[0284] For specific implementation details, please refer to the relevant description in method 300. For the sake of brevity, these details will not be repeated here.

[0285] In some embodiments, the priority of the CSI reporting can be used to allocate appropriate processing units for CSI reporting on the first SIM and the second SIM.

[0286] S514, the terminal device determines, according to the priority of CSI reporting determined in S513, to allocate available processing units for CSI reporting triggered by the at least one CSI reporting configuration, that is, to determine the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM and the second SIM respectively.

[0287] S521, the terminal device reports the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM to the first network device.

[0288] Optionally, for periodic reporting of CSI parallel processing capability information, the terminal device can report the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM via MAC CE.

[0294] Optionally, the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the second SIM can be carried in the reporting quantity IE in the CSI reporting.

[0295] S531, the first network device can adjust the CSI reporting configuration on the first SIM or adjust the CSI receiving method on the first SIM based on the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the first SIM. For specific implementation details, refer to the specific implementation in method 200.

[0296] S532, the second network device can adjust the CSI reporting configuration or the CSI receiving method on the second SIM based on the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the second SIM. Refer to the specific implementation in method 200 for details.

[0297] In some embodiments, the priority of the CSI reporting can be used to determine which CSI reporting to discard or retain when there is a conflict between the resources for CSI reporting on the first SIM and the second SIM.

[0298] S541, the terminal device determines that resource conflicts have occurred in CSI reporting on multiple SIMs.

[0299] S542, the terminal device selects the CSI with higher priority to report according to the CSI reporting priority determined in S513.

[0300] Furthermore, high-priority CSI reporting is performed in S551 and S552.

[0301] It should be understood that the sequence of steps in Figure 7 is merely an example, and this application is not limited to it. For example, adjustments can be made in practical applications, or some steps may be omitted. For instance, the order of CSI parallel processing information corresponding to the first SIM and the second SIM can be adjusted, or only the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to one SIM can be reported. As another example, both the first and second network devices can adjust their CSI reporting configurations, or only the first network device or only the second network device can adjust their CSI reporting configurations. Furthermore, the order of reporting the CSI reporting configuration and the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the SIM can also be adjusted.

[0302] In summary, the embodiments of this application provide a reporting scheme for CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to a SIM. The terminal device can dynamically report the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the SIM, which helps to ensure that the network device adjusts the CSI reporting configuration in a timely manner according to the CSI parallel processing capability information corresponding to the SIM.

[0303] This application also provides a method for determining the priority of CSI reporting, which comprehensively considers factors such as multi-SIM mode and primary / secondary SIM related factors to sort the priorities. Furthermore, when allocating processing units based on the priority of CSI reporting, it is beneficial to ensure the reasonable allocation of processing resources of terminal equipment.
