Therefore, the application also provides a corresponding multimode multi-card mobile terminal.
In order to solve the technical problem, the application discloses a mobility management method of a multimode multi-card mobile terminal, which comprises the following steps. Step S110: an SIM card is switched from a current cell A to a cell B when the SIM card is switched in a system, or switched between systems, or CCO occurs during the service in a connection state; the SIM card is called a SIM card I. Step S120: when the service of the first SIM card is finished, the first SIM card resides in the current cell B again; after the residence is successful, the SIM card tries to register to the cell B; and then the SIM card enters an idle state, an emergency stay state or an OOS state. Step S130: whether the other SIM cards have the same PLMN information with the SIM card I or not; if yes, go to step S140; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S170. Step S140: the SIM card with the same PLMN information as the SIM card I is called as a SIM card II; whether the SIM card II and the SIM card I are in the same mobile communication network mode or not; if yes, go to step S150; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S160. Step S150: the SIM card II directly resides in the cell B registered by the SIM card I; after successful camping, the second SIM card attempts to register to the cell B. Step S160: the SIM card II changes the mobile communication network mode into the same mode as the SIM card I, and then directly resides in a registered cell B of the SIM card I; after successful camping, the second SIM card attempts to register to the cell B. Step S170: and the rest SIM cards try to search the cells which are resided or stored before first, and if the cells can not be found, the network is searched according to the full frequency band until a proper cell is found to reside, or the SIM cards enter an emergency residence state or an OOS state.
The mobility management method of the multi-mode multi-card mobile terminal is a first embodiment of the application and is used for enabling a second SIM card belonging to the same mobile communication operator to rapidly reside and register in a new cell of the first SIM card without searching a network after the SIM card is switched into the cell.
Further, in step S120, after the SIM card is camped in the cell B, if the location area changes, the SIM card starts updating the location area and informs the mobile communication network. In step S150 and step S160, after the SIM card two resides in the target cell, if the location area changes, the SIM card two starts updating the location area and informs the mobile communication network. This is a preferred implementation.
Further, the steps S110 and S120 are jointly performed by the access stratum and the non-access stratum of the SIM card one. In step S130, the non-access stratum of the remaining SIM cards determines. In step S140, the non-access stratum of the second SIM card is used for judgment. The steps S150 and S160 are executed by the access layer of the SIM card two. The step S170 is performed by the access stratum and the non-access stratum of the remaining SIM cards together.

Detailed Description
In the application, the multi-mode multi-card mobile terminal means that the mobile terminal is provided with more than two SIM cards and shares one physical layer and a radio frequency module; and the SIM card also has the same number of physical adaptation layers (PHY adapter) AS the SIM card, the same number of Non-Access Stratum (NAS) layers AS the SIM card and the same number of Access Stratum (AS) layers AS the SIM card. Each SIM card corresponds to one physical adaptation layer, one non-access layer, and one access layer.
Preferably, at least two of the SIM cards belong to the same mobile communications operator, thereby facilitating sharing of mobility management information of the mobile communications network with each other.
Please refer to fig. 1, which is a first embodiment of a mobility management method of a multi-mode multi-card mobile terminal according to the present application, and is applicable to intra-system handover, inter-system handover, and network update after CCO. An embodiment of the mobility management method includes the following steps.
Step S110: an intra-system handover, or an inter-system handover, or CCO occurs during a Connected service (Connected) by a SIM card (referred to as SIM card one), and a handover is made from a current RAT-X (Radio Access Technology, RAT) cell a to a RAT-X cell B. The RAT-X cell refers to a cell of an unspecified access mode, and may be a serving cell of any one of 2G, 3G, and 4G mobile communication networks.
Step S120: and when the service of the first SIM card is finished, the first SIM card resides in the current RAT-X cell B again. After successful camping, the SIM card attempts to register with the RAT-X cell B. After that, the SIM card enters an Idle state (Idle), an Emergency Camp On (Emergency Camp On) state, or an OOS (Out of Service) state. In this step, camping on the cell is performed by, for example, the access stratum of the SIM card one, and registering the cell is performed by, for example, the non-access stratum of the SIM card one.
Preferably, in this step, after the SIM card is camped in the target cell, if the location area changes, the SIM card starts location area update and informs the mobile communication network.
Step S130: the non-access layer of the other SIM cards determines whether the other SIM cards have the same PLMN (Public land mobile network) information as the SIM card. If so, the process proceeds to step S140. If not, the process proceeds to step S170.
Step S140: if the PLMN information of the two SIM cards is the same, the two SIM cards belong to the same mobile communication operator. At this time, the nas of the SIM card having the same PLMN information as the first SIM card (referred to as the second SIM card) continues to determine whether the second SIM card and the first SIM card are in the same mobile communication network mode. The mobile communication network mode is, for example, GSM, UTMS, LTE, or the like. If so, the process proceeds to step S150. If not, the process proceeds to step S160.
Step S150: the second SIM card directly resides in the registered RAT-X cell B of the first SIM card. After successful camping, the SIM card II tries to register to the target cell. At the moment, the second SIM card does not need to initiate the full-band network scanning again, so that the access of the second SIM card in the mobile communication network is recovered at the highest speed.
Preferably, in this step, after the second SIM card resides in the target cell, if the location area changes, the second SIM card starts location area update and informs the mobile communication network.
Step S160: the second SIM card changes the mobile communication network mode to be the same as the first SIM card, and then directly resides in the first registered RAT-X cell B of the SIM card. After successful camping, the SIM card II tries to register to the target cell. At the moment, the second SIM card does not need to initiate the full-band network scanning again, so that the access of the second SIM card in the mobile communication network is recovered at the highest speed.
Preferably, in this step, after the second SIM card resides in the target cell, if the location area changes, the second SIM card starts location area update and informs the mobile communication network.
Step S170: and the rest SIM cards try to search the cells which are resided or stored before first, and if the cells can not be found, the network is searched according to the full frequency band until a proper cell is found to reside, or the SIM cards enter an emergency residence state or an OOS state.
