Paging Recovery for Multi-SIM UEs
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Multi-SIM user equipment (UE) experiences performance issues when communicating with one system while monitoring another, leading to inefficient use of signaling resources and potential errors due to unresponsive paging messages.
Innovation Solution
A processing method and device that allow a network device or UE to determine and communicate the time for re-paging a SIM that has rejected a paging message, reducing unnecessary signaling and resource waste by synchronizing paging operations with the SIM's idle state.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multi-SIM UE monitors paging in the second system while communicating with the first system, then the service establishment capability of the second system is maintained, but the performance of the first system is degraded
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic time division for paging monitoring by determining specific first time and second time periods. During the first time period, the UE monitors paging messages in the second system, while during the second time period, the UE communicates with the first system. This dynamic scheduling resolves the contradiction by making the monitoring behavior adaptive rather than continuous, thus maintaining service establishment capability while preserving communication performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs periodic paging monitoring by defining specific time periods for monitoring paging messages in the second system. Instead of continuous monitoring, the UE periodically wakes up to check paging messages during predetermined time windows, then returns to communication with the first system. This periodic approach ensures service establishment capability is maintained at critical moments while minimizing interference with ongoing communications.
2Reliability
If multi-SIM UE continuously pages the terminal after paging rejection, then the network ensures service delivery, but signaling resources are wasted and error statistics are triggered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by determining and storing the time period for re-paging before actually sending paging messages. When the UE sends a service request, the network device calculates and records the appropriate re-paging time based on this request, rather than immediately re-paging. This preliminary determination of timing prevents unnecessary immediate paging attempts and reduces signaling resource waste while ensuring service delivery at appropriate intervals.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the network device receives service requests from the UE and uses this feedback to dynamically determine re-paging timing. The service request acts as feedback indicating the UE's current state and needs, allowing the network to adjust its paging strategy accordingly. This feedback-driven approach ensures service delivery while avoiding wasteful repetitive paging of already-active UEs.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a paging recovery processing method and apparatus, a communications device, and a storage medium. The paging recovery processing method is performed by a network device, and includes: receiving first information of a first SIM; and in response to the first information indicating the first SIM rejects the paging, determining time for re-paging the first SIM.
