Fig. 2 illustrates an execution subject of the method by taking the terminal device as an example. The execution main bodies of the methods for receiving paging messages shown in other figures in the embodiments of the present application are the same, and are not described in detail hereinafter. Wherein:

201. and the terminal equipment acquires the judgment information of the first SIM card and the second SIM card.

In the embodiment of the application, the judgment information includes operator information, a communication system, a frequency point and a cell. The operator information is the operator category corresponding to the SIM card, and the terminal device may determine the operator to which the SIM card belongs according to the operator information. The communication system is a type of network, and may include, for example, a Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) system, a Time Division Duplex (TDD) system, a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system, a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system, and the like. The frequency point is configured for the SIM card by the network equipment, and the terminal equipment can receive the information corresponding to the SIM card through the frequency point. A cell is an area covered by a base station or a part of a base station (sector antenna) in a cellular mobile communication system, in which area a mobile station can reliably communicate with the base station via a radio channel. The determination information may include other information besides the above-described information, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

In the embodiment of the application, the first SIM card is in a connected state, and the second SIM card is in an idle state. The idle state means that the idle state is not connected with network equipment and needs to periodically initiate location updating, cell selection and reselection processes, receive paging and the like; the connection state means that connection is established with the network device, and data transmission can be performed.

In a possible implementation manner, the specific manner of acquiring the determination information of the SIM card by the terminal device may be as follows: when an SIM card slot of the terminal equipment is inserted into an SIM card and started, the terminal equipment can determine operator information and a communication system of the SIM card according to information stored in the SIM card; after the terminal equipment accesses the network through the SIM card, the terminal equipment can acquire the relevant information of the frequency point and the cell through the network equipment. The manner of acquiring the determination information of the SIM card by the terminal device may also be other than the above-described manner, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In one possible implementation, the terminal device is a multi-card multi-standby single-pass device. For example, the terminal device may be a dual-card dual-standby single-pass device, and may also be a three-card three-standby single-pass device, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In one possible implementation, the SIM card may be an embedded SIM card (commonly referred to as a small card), a card-type SIM card (commonly referred to as a large card), and as communication technology evolves, the SIM card may also be an eSIM card, a 5G super SIM card, and so on.

202. And if the judgment information of the first SIM card is the same as that of the second SIM card, the terminal equipment receives the paging message corresponding to the second SIM card through the first SIM card.

In the embodiment of the present application, the judgment information of the first SIM card and the second SIM card is the same, which means: the operator information of the first SIM card is the same as the operator information of the second SIM card, the communication system of the first SIM card is the same as the communication system of the second SIM card, the frequency point corresponding to the first SIM card is the same as the frequency point corresponding to the second SIM card, and the cell corresponding to the first SIM card is the same as the cell corresponding to the second SIM card.

In a possible implementation manner, if the times corresponding to the paging receiving frame numbers of the first SIM card and the second SIM card are the same, the terminal device receives the paging message corresponding to the first SIM card and receives the paging message corresponding to the second SIM card through the first SIM card at the time corresponding to the paging receiving frame number. Based on the implementation mode, the terminal equipment can receive the paging messages of the first SIM card and the second SIM card at the same time, the paging message of any one SIM card does not need to be abandoned, and the communication performance of the terminal equipment is improved.

The paging receiving frame number refers to a subframe number used for receiving a paging message subframe and is used for determining a time domain position of the terminal equipment for receiving the paging message, and the paging receiving frame number can be calculated and determined through a related calculation formula based on information such as a communication system and a paging cycle.

The time corresponding to the paging receiving frame number of the first SIM card and the time corresponding to the paging receiving frame number of the second SIM card are the same, wherein the following three conditions are included: the time domain positions corresponding to the paging receiving frame numbers of the first SIM card and the second SIM card are completely the same; overlapping time domain positions corresponding to paging receiving frame numbers of the first SIM card and the second SIM card; and the interval of the time domain positions corresponding to the paging receiving frame numbers of the first SIM card and the second SIM card is smaller than the inter-card conversion interval. The inter-card switching interval refers to a time interval required for the terminal device to switch the radio frequency resource from one SIM card to another SIM card. For example, as shown in fig. 3, the time domain positions are completely the same, which means that the time domain position corresponding to the first SIM card is completely overlapped with the time domain position corresponding to the second SIM card; the time domain position overlapping means that a part of the time domain position corresponding to the first SIM card is overlapped with the time domain position corresponding to the second SIM card; the time domain position interval is smaller than the inter-card conversion interval, which means that the time domain positions of the first SIM card and the second SIM card are not overlapped, but the time interval of the first SIM card and the second SIM card is smaller than the inter-card conversion interval.

In a possible implementation manner, if the times corresponding to the paging receiving frame numbers of the first SIM card and the second SIM card are different, the terminal device receives the paging message corresponding to the second SIM card through the first SIM card at the time corresponding to the paging receiving frame number of the second SIM card. Based on the implementation mode, the terminal equipment receives the paging message of the second SIM card through the first SIM card, the service data transmission of the first SIM card does not need to be interrupted, and the communication performance of the terminal equipment is favorably improved.

The time difference corresponding to the paging receiving frame numbers of the first SIM card and the second SIM card means that the time domain positions corresponding to the paging receiving frame numbers of the first SIM card and the second SIM card are not overlapped, and the time domain position interval of the first SIM card and the second SIM card is larger than or equal to the inter-card conversion interval.

Based on the above possible implementation manner, taking a specific example as an example, as shown in fig. 4, it is assumed that the first SIM card is in a connected state and the second SIM card is in an idle state. The paging cycle of the first SIM card is twice the paging cycle of the second SIM card. And when the terminal equipment is at the first time domain position, the paging receiving frame numbers of the first SIM card and the second SIM card are the same, and the terminal equipment receives the paging messages corresponding to the first SIM card and the second SIM card through the first SIM card. And when the terminal equipment is at the second time domain position, the paging receiving frame numbers of the first SIM card and the second SIM card are different, and the terminal equipment receives the paging message of the second SIM card through the first SIM card without interrupting the service data transmission corresponding to the first SIM card. Based on the implementation mode, the communication performance of the terminal equipment is improved.

In a possible implementation manner, the terminal device sets the timing synchronization information of the second SIM card to be the same as the timing synchronization information of the first SIM card. The timing synchronization information is mainly used for timing synchronization between the terminal device and the network device, so that the terminal device can send data to the network device or receive data from the network device at an accurate time domain position. Based on the implementation mode, the terminal equipment can perform timing synchronization with the network equipment through the second SIM card.

In one possible implementation manner, the terminal device sets the frequency tracking information of the second SIM card to be the same as the frequency tracking information of the first SIM card. The frequency tracking information is mainly used for frequency synchronization between the terminal device and the network device, so that the terminal device can send data to the network device or receive data from the network device on accurate frequency domain resources. Based on the implementation mode, the frequency synchronization of the terminal equipment and the network equipment can be favorably realized through the second SIM card.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for receiving a paging message according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method for receiving a paging message shown in fig. 5 includes the following steps 501 to 508. Step 501 is the same as step 201 in specific implementation, and steps 502 to 505 are a specific implementation of step 202, which can be referred to as corresponding descriptions in fig. 2, and are not described herein again in this embodiment of the present application.

501. And the terminal equipment acquires the judgment information of the first SIM card and the second SIM card.

502. The terminal equipment determines whether the judgment information of the first SIM card and the second SIM card is the same. If the two are the same, step 503 is executed, and if the two are not the same, step 506 is executed.

503. The terminal equipment determines whether the time corresponding to the paging receiving frame numbers of the first SIM card and the second SIM card is the same. If the two are the same, go to step 504, and if not, go to step 505.

504. And the terminal equipment receives the paging message corresponding to the first SIM card and the paging message corresponding to the second SIM card through the first SIM card at the time corresponding to the paging receiving frame number.

505. And the terminal equipment receives the paging message corresponding to the second SIM card through the first SIM card at the time corresponding to the paging receiving frame number of the second SIM card.

506. The terminal equipment determines whether the time corresponding to the paging receiving frame numbers of the first SIM card and the second SIM card is the same. If the two are the same, go to step 507, and if the two are not the same, go to step 508.

The manner of determining whether the time corresponding to the paging frame number is the same may be referred to the description in step 202.

507. And the terminal equipment receives the paging message corresponding to the first SIM card or the second SIM card at the time corresponding to the paging receiving frame number.

In this embodiment, the terminal device receiving the paging message corresponding to the first SIM card or the second SIM card at the time corresponding to the paging receiving frame number means that the terminal device receives the paging message corresponding to the first SIM card through the first SIM card at the time corresponding to the paging receiving frame number, or the terminal device receives the paging message corresponding to the second SIM card through the second SIM card at the time corresponding to the paging receiving frame number.

In a possible implementation manner, the terminal device randomly receives the paging message of one of the two SIM cards at the time corresponding to the paging receiving frame number.

Optionally, the terminal device may receive the paging messages of the first SIM card or the second SIM card sequentially according to the order. For example, as shown in fig. 6, when the terminal device receives the paging message corresponding to the first SIM card, abandons the paging of the second SIM card, and then pages the time corresponding to the receiving frame number at the next time, the terminal device will select to receive the paging message corresponding to the second SIM card, and abandons the paging message corresponding to the first SIM card. And when the terminal equipment receives the paging message corresponding to the second SIM card, abandons the paging of the first SIM card and pages the time corresponding to the received frame number at the next time, the terminal equipment selects to receive the paging message corresponding to the first SIM card and abandons the paging message corresponding to the second SIM card. Based on the implementation mode, the paging message between the first SIM card and the second SIM card can be received alternately, and the situation that the paging message of only one SIM card is received for a long time is avoided.

In a possible implementation manner, the specific implementation manner of step 507 may be: the terminal equipment determines the priority of the first SIM card and the priority of the second SIM card based on the signal quality corresponding to the first SIM card and the second SIM card; and the terminal equipment receives the paging message corresponding to the first SIM card or the second SIM card based on the priority of the first SIM card and the second SIM card at the time corresponding to the paging receiving frame number. The poorer the signal quality corresponding to the SIM card is, the higher the priority of the SIM card is; the better the signal quality corresponding to the SIM card, the lower the priority of the SIM card. And the terminal equipment preferentially receives the paging message of the SIM card with high priority according to the priority of the two SIM cards.

Optionally, the terminal device may plan the number and order of receiving the SIM cards according to the priority levels of the two cards, and receive the paging message corresponding to the SIM card according to the planned number and order. For example, if the signal quality of the second SIM card is poor, the signal quality of the first SIM card is good, and therefore the priority of the second SIM card is higher than that of the first SIM card. And the terminal equipment receives the paging message corresponding to the second SIM card twice and receives the paging message corresponding to the first SIM card once in a period according to the priority planning. The terminal equipment plans to receive the paging message corresponding to the first SIM card once and continuously receive the paging message corresponding to the second SIM card twice. As shown in fig. 7, after the terminal device receives the paging message corresponding to the first SIM card once, the terminal device will continuously receive the paging message corresponding to the second SIM card twice. When the signal quality corresponding to the SIM card is poor, it may cause the terminal device to fail to receive the paging message through the SIM card. Therefore, the terminal equipment improves the priority of the SIM card with poor signal quality, preferentially receives the paging message of the SIM card with poor signal quality, and is favorable for avoiding that the terminal equipment cannot page through the SIM card with poor signal quality in a longer time.

508. And the terminal equipment interrupts the service data reception of the first SIM card at the time corresponding to the paging reception frame number of the second SIM card, and receives the paging message corresponding to the second SIM card through the second SIM card.

In the embodiment of the present application, the requirement of the service data of the first SIM card on the time delay is relatively lower than the requirement of the paging of the second SIM card on the time delay. Therefore, the terminal equipment preferentially uses the radio frequency resource for the terminal equipment to receive the paging message corresponding to the second SIM card through the second SIM card, and the communication performance of the terminal equipment is favorably improved.
