Network Slice Matching for Seamless Multi-SIM Card Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional terminal devices with a single radio frequency module cannot seamlessly switch between different network slices on multiple SIM cards, especially when the cards belong to different operators, leading to reduced quality of service during card-transfer switching.
Innovation Solution
A card-transfer slice switching method that involves acquiring a switching signal, obtaining a switchable slice based on a slice database, and performing the switch according to the acquired slice, utilizing a processor and memory to manage the switching process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If direct slice switching is performed between cards of different operators, then card-transfer switching is enabled, but slice service compatibility and quality deteriorate due to different available slice services
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by acquiring slice information from both the current card and target card before switching occurs. The processor compares slice services, determines compatibility, and pre-selects a target slice that matches the application's network usage status. This preliminary preparation ensures that when card switching occurs, the slice service quality is maintained without interruption or incompatibility issues.
Solution Approach 2:
The processor acts as an intermediary between the card switching mechanism and the slice service layer. It mediates the switching process by comparing slice information, determining compatibility between different operator cards, and selecting an appropriate target slice that ensures service continuity. This intermediary function resolves the contradiction by enabling card switching while maintaining slice service quality through intelligent matching.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multi-card multi-standby function is implemented, then card switching capability is improved, but slice switching between cards cannot be realized due to single radio frequency constraint
Solution Approach 1:
Before card switching occurs, the system acquires slice information from both the current card and the target card, and the processor pre-determines a compatible target slice based on the application's network usage status. This preliminary action ensures that even with a single radio frequency, the slice switching functionality is maintained by preparing the appropriate slice configuration in advance, allowing multi-card multi-standby to work seamlessly with slice switching.
3Speed
If card switching is performed without slice matching, then switching speed is improved, but application network usage compatibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs slice information acquisition and compatibility comparison in advance, before the actual card switching occurs. The processor determines the target slice based on the application's network usage status and slice compatibility, so that when switching is triggered, the process can execute quickly without compromising compatibility. This preliminary preparation resolves the contradiction by enabling fast switching while ensuring application network usage compatibility is maintained.
