Abstract
The invention relates to a communication method and a communication system. A multiple SIM multi-standby communication device comprises a single radio resource unit shared by a plurality of virtual modems (VMs). A first VM in an active state monitors its own associated cells and cells associated with remaining VMs in a suspended state. The active VM measures signal strength on available cells to track cell information such as cell quality and cell timing information for associated cells for the first active VM and for the remaining suspended VMs. When the suspended VMs are resumed, the single radio resource unit is synchronized to corresponding serving cells in an order determined based on the tracked cell timing information. With a synchronized serving cell, a suspended VM may bypass cell selection or reselection and directly camp on its serving cell. Otherwise, the suspended VM performs a cell selection or reselection selectively based on tracked cell information for a cell to camp on.
