Multi-SIM Gap Configuration Through Dynamic Type Negotiation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing Gap allocation mechanisms in mobile communications systems primarily cover measurement tasks but fail to address diversified Gap negotiation and configuration needs of multi-SIM terminals, leading to resource conflicts and potential service interruptions.
Innovation Solution
A method where a network device sends enabling information to UE to indicate the availability of various Gap types, allowing the UE to request and configure specific Gap types, thereby enhancing diversified Gap negotiation and configuration to meet the needs of multi-SIM terminals, optimizing resource use and preventing interruptions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a traditional Gap allocation mechanism is used, then measurement tasks can be performed, but diversified Gap negotiation and configuration needs of multi-SIM terminals cannot be resolved
Solution Approach 1:
The Gap configuration is segmented into multiple Gap types (first Gap, second Gap, third Gap, etc.) where each type serves different purposes. The network device and UE can independently negotiate and configure each Gap type based on specific needs, allowing diversified Gap allocation for multi-SIM terminals while maintaining clear management boundaries for each segment
Solution Approach 2:
The Gap allocation mechanism is made dynamic by allowing the UE to send Gap indication information to request specific Gap types, and the network device to respond with Gap configuration information. This dynamic negotiation process enables the system to adapt to changing service requirements and terminal capabilities in real-time
2Reliability
If Gap allocation is extended to cover diversified needs, then multi-SIM terminal service continuity is improved, but resource waste may occur without proper configuration
Solution Approach 1:
A feedback mechanism is established where the UE sends Gap indication information to the network device to express its Gap needs. The network device receives this feedback and responds with appropriate Gap configuration information. This closed-loop feedback ensures that Gaps are allocated only when and where needed, preventing resource waste while ensuring service continuity
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters by allowing different Gap types to be configured with different parameters (time durations, frequencies, purposes). Each Gap type can be independently optimized for its specific function, ensuring efficient resource utilization while meeting diverse service requirements of multi-SIM terminals

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide a Gap configuration method, LTE, and a network device, and relate to the field of communications technologies. The method includes: receiving first enabling information from a network device, where the first enabling information is used to indicate whether a first need configuration of a first Gap is enabled, the first Gap is a Gap including at least one of N Gap types, and N is a positive number; sending first request information to the network device in a case that the first enabling information indicates that the first need configuration is enabled, where the first request information is used to request a first target Gap, and a Gap type of the first target Gap is at least one of the N Gap types; and receiving first configuration information from the network device, where the first configuration information is used to configure the first target Gap.
