Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

The terms first, second and the like in the description and in the claims of the present application are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the application described herein are capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the description and in the claims "and/or" means at least one of the connected objects.

The techniques described herein are not limited to Long Term Evolution (LTE)/LTE Evolution (LTE-Advanced) systems, and may also be used for various wireless communication systems, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), and other systems. The terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably. CDMA systems may implement Radio technologies such as CDMA2000, Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA), and so on. UTRA includes Wideband CDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, WCDMA) and other CDMA variants. TDMA systems may implement radio technologies such as Global System for Mobile communications (GSM). The OFDMA system may implement radio technologies such as Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), evolved-UTRA (E-UTRA), IEEE 802.11(Wi-Fi), IEEE 802.16(WiMAX), IEEE 802.20, Flash-OFDM, etc. UTRA and E-UTRA are parts of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS).

The techniques described herein may be used for both the above-mentioned systems and radio technologies, as well as for other systems and radio technologies. However, the following description describes the NR system for purposes of example, and NR terminology is used in much of the description below, although the techniques may also be applied to applications other than NR system applications.

The following description provides examples and does not limit the scope, applicability, or configuration set forth in the claims. Changes may be made in the function and arrangement of elements discussed without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. Various examples may omit, substitute, or add various procedures or components as appropriate. For example, the described methods may be performed in an order different than described, and various steps may be added, omitted, or combined. In addition, features described with reference to certain examples may be combined in other examples.

In order to save the power consumption of the terminal, the network side configures discontinuous reception for the terminal, and fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a DRX cycle, where the terminal does not need to constantly receive the physical downlink control channel, and only needs to wake up to receive the PDCCH during the DRX duration.

In the related art, for a multi-card terminal equipped with cards 1 and 2, the base station does not know whether the terminal is a multi-card terminal or a single-card terminal. From the network side device, the card 1 is one terminal, and the card 2 is the other terminal. Suppose that the base station 1 serves the card 1, the base station 2 serves the card 2, the base station 1 and the base station 2 respectively configure DRX for the card 1 and the card 2, but the base station 1 and the base station 2 cannot interact with the DRX configuration of the terminal.

In addition, for a multi-card terminal equipped with card 1 and card 2, DRX negotiation between the serving cells of card 1 and card 2 is not supported, and it is likely that the on-duration of the DRX configured by base station 1 for card 1 coincides with the on-duration of the DRX configured by base station 2 for card 2. Thus, when monitoring the PDCCH of the on-duration of the card 2, the terminal cannot monitor the PDCCH of the on-duration of the card 1, which may cause the card 1 to miss the PDCCH transmitted from the base station 1 to the card 1, and further may cause the base station 1 to interrupt a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection with the card 1.

For example, for a multi-card terminal equipped with card 1 and card 2, when both card 1 and card 2 are in a connected state, the network side device configures C-DRX for card 1, and at this time, card 2 may also be configured with C-DRX, and the terminal needs to periodically tune a channel to card 1 to receive a downlink control channel of a base station where card 1 is located when card 1 is on duration, and detect whether there is scheduling information of card 1, but this causes a conflict of on duration detection for card 2.

In order to solve the above problem, embodiments of the present invention provide a method and an apparatus for configuring a multi-card terminal, and a communication device, which can avoid an on-duration conflict between two cards of the multi-card terminal.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a configuration method of a multi-card terminal, which is applied to a terminal at least including a first communication module and a second communication module, where the first communication module communicates with a first network-side device, and the second communication module communicates with a second network-side device, as shown in fig. 2, the method includes:

step 101: the first communication module sends first information to a first network side device, the first information being used for notifying the first network side device of the configuration of the second communication module, the first information including at least one of the following: the index number of the configuration parameter, a first configuration request of the first communication module, second configuration information of the second communication module and a request adjustment instruction.

In this embodiment, the first communication module of the terminal may notify the first network side device of the configuration of the second communication module, so that the first network side device may assist in deciding the configuration of the first communication module according to the configuration of the second communication module, and when the configuration of the second communication module is not matched with the on duration configured by the first communication module or the second communication module runs a higher priority or low latency or latency sensitive service, the first communication module and the first network side device may negotiate the configuration of the first communication module, thereby reducing the influence of the first communication module on the second communication module and avoiding an on-duration collision between two cards of the multi-card terminal.

Optionally, the fifth configuration information includes at least one of:

DRX configuration information for configuring DRX of the terminal;

Optionally, the method further comprises:

In a specific embodiment, the terminal may report the index number to the network side device, if the first network side device configures a set of index numbers and corresponding DRX configurations for the terminal, the second network side device also configures a set of index numbers and corresponding DRX configurations for the terminal, and the terminal selects one DRX configuration from the two sets of DRX configurations and reports the DRX configuration to the respective network side device as two non-conflicting DRX configurations selected by the terminal.

Specifically, if the on-duration of two DRX configurations coincide or partially overlap, or the time for monitoring the PDCCH within the on-duration coincides or partially overlaps, the terminal may consider that the two DRX configurations collide.

The terminal may select which communication module's DRX configuration to adjust according to the priority of the traffic or QoS of the first communication module and the second communication module, for example, if the second communication module handles a higher priority traffic than the first communication module, including a low-latency traffic or an online game, the terminal determines that the DRX configuration of the first communication module needs to be adjusted.

In another specific embodiment, a first communication module of the terminal receives DRX sent by a first network side device or receives first parameter configuration information of a downlink control channel, and a second communication module of the terminal receives DRX sent by a second network side device or receives second parameter configuration information of the downlink control channel. The terminal can automatically compare the first parameter configuration information with the second parameter configuration information, and if the configuration of the first parameter configuration information is not matched with the configuration of the second parameter configuration information, the terminal sends a DRX (discontinuous reception) or receives a parameter configuration request of a downlink control channel to the first network side equipment through the first communication module, and requests to modify the DRX configuration applied to the first communication module or receive parameters of the downlink control channel.

In another specific embodiment, a first communication module of a terminal receives DRX or parameter configuration information of a downlink control channel sent by a first network-side device, a second communication module of the terminal is in communication with a second network-side device, if the terminal determines that the parameter configuration of the first network-side device may affect the communication between the second communication module and the second network-side device, the terminal sends a parameter configuration request of the DRX or the downlink control channel to the first network-side device through the first communication module, and requests to modify DRX configuration applied to the first communication module or receive parameters of the downlink control channel.

In another specific embodiment, the second communication module of the terminal receives the DRX or receives the parameter configuration information of the downlink control channel sent by the second network side device. The terminal reports the configuration information received by the second communication module to the first network side equipment through the first communication module, and the first network side equipment sends updated DRX or receives parameter configuration information of a downlink control channel to the terminal. Therefore, the first network side equipment can adjust the DRX configuration of the first communication module of the terminal according to the DRX configuration of the second network side equipment to the second communication module, and the conflict between the DRX configuration of the first communication module and the DRX configuration of the second communication module is avoided.
