具体实施方式
下面将结合本公开实施例中的附图，对本公开实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述，显然，所描述的实施例是本公开一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本公开保护的范围。
本公开的说明书和权利要求书中的术语“包括”以及它的任何变形，意图在于覆盖不排他的包含，例如，包含了一系列步骤或单元的过程、方法、系统、产品或设备不必限于清楚地列出的那些步骤或单元，而是可以包括没有清楚地列出的或对于这些过程、方法、产品或设备固有的其它步骤或单元。此外，说明书以及权利要求中使用“和/或”表示所连接对象的至少其中之一，例如A和/或B，表示包含单独A，单独B，以及A和B都存在三种情况。
在本公开实施例中，“示例性的”或者“例如”等词用于表示作例子、例证 或说明。本公开实施例中被描述为“示例性的”或者“例如”的任何实施例或设计方案不应被解释为比其它实施例或设计方案更优选或更具优势。确切而言，使用“示例性的”或者“例如”等词旨在以具体方式呈现相关概念。
本文所描述的技术不限于第五代移动通信(5th-generation，5G)系统以及后续演进通信系统，以及不限于LTE/LTE的演进(LTE-Advanced，LTE-A)系统，并且也可用于各种无线通信系统，诸如码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access，CDMA)、时分多址(Time Division Multiple Access，TDMA)、频分多址(Frequency Division Multiple Access，FDMA)、正交频分多址(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access，OFDMA)、单载波频分多址(Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access，SC-FDMA)和其他系统。
术语“系统”和“网络”常被可互换地使用。CDMA系统可实现诸如CDMA2000、通用地面无线电接入(Universal Terrestrial Radio Access，UTRA)等无线电技术。UTRA包括宽带CDMA(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access，WCDMA)和其他CDMA变体。TDMA系统可实现诸如全球移动通信系统(Global System for Mobile Communication，GSM)之类的无线电技术。OFDMA系统可实现诸如超移动宽带(Ultra Mobile Broadband，UMB)、演进型UTRA(Evolution-UTRA，E-UTRA)、IEEE 802.11(Wi-Fi)、IEEE 802.16(WiMAX)、IEEE 802.20、Flash-OFDM等无线电技术。UTRA和E-UTRA是通用移动电信系统(Universal Mobile Telecommunications System，UMTS)的部分。LTE和更高级的LTE(如LTE-A)是使用E-UTRA的新UMTS版本。UTRA、E-UTRA、UMTS、LTE、LTE-A以及GSM在来自名为“第三代伙伴项目”(3rd Generation Partnership Project，3GPP)的组织的文献中描述。CDMA2000和UMB在来自名为“第三代伙伴项目2”(3GPP2)的组织的文献中描述。本文所描述的技术既可用于以上提及的系统和无线电技术，也可用于其他系统和无线电技术。
为了便于更好地理解本公开实施例，下面先介绍以下技术点。
多卡终端是指一个设备上具有两个或大于两个的SIM卡。所述SIM卡可选为电子SIM卡或实体SIM卡。从网络的角度，同一设备与不同的SIM卡 构成不同的UE。
为了优化多卡终端的用户体验，需解决如下问题：
问题1：多卡终端中的SIM卡可以是属于同一个运营商或不同的运营商。对于同一个运营商的多卡终端，通过网间的协商可以优化终端的体验。但是，目前在运营商的眼中，多卡终端是多个用户终端(User Equipment，UE)。而且，目前的多卡终端中不同的卡槽对应的终端设备标识(如IMEI)也是不同的。因此如何关联一个设备上的多个UE还需要解决。
问题2：同一运营商中的寻呼冲突。或者，如果UE一侧的网络是连接态且进行语音，另一侧是空闲态，UE无法监听另一侧的网络的寻呼。
参考图1，为本公开实施例提供的一种无线通信系统的架构示意图。如图1所示，一个设备上配置有第一UE和第二UE，第二UE可以是一个或多个不同于第一UE的UE。一个设备可以配置有多个SIM卡。第一UE可以是第一SIM卡的UE标识指示的UE，第二UE可以是第二SIM卡的UE标识指示的UE。第一UE连接第一无线接入网(Radio Access Network，RAN)网元、驻留在第一RAN网元下的小区，或者第一RAN网元保存着第一UE的上下文。第二UE连接第二RAN网元、驻留在第二RAN网元下的小区，或者第二RAN网元保存着第二UE的上下文。
第一UE注册第一核心网(Core Network，CN)。第二UE注册第二CN。第一CN与第二CN可以是同一个CN。第一UE注册第一CN网元。第二UE注册第二CN网元。第一CN网元与第二CN可以是同一个CN网元。第一CN网元和第二CN网元可以属于同一个CN或分别属于不同的CN。
第一UE和第二UE所接入的无线通信网络可以相同，也可以不相同。
可选的，获取可以理解为从配置获得、接收、通过请求后接收、通过自学习获取、根据未收到的信息推导获取或者是根据接收的信息处理后获得，具体可根据实际需要确定，本公开实施例对此不作限定。比如当未收到设备发送的某个能力指示信息时可推导出该设备不支持该能力。
可选的，发送可以包含广播，系统消息中广播，响应请求后返回。

(2)另一种实施方式中，第一终端设备标识可以为第一UE的终端设备标识。第二终端设备标识可以为第二UE的终端设备标识。第一UE可以有关联的终端设备标识但没有关联的第二UE。不难理解，比如终端设备上有两个卡槽，第一卡槽插入第一SIM卡，第一SIM卡对应第一UE。第二卡槽没有插入SIM卡。第二卡槽对应的终端设备标识就没有对应的UE。则第一UE存在关联的终端的终端设备标识，但不存在关联的第二UE。

一种实施方式中，所述当第一UE接入网络时，发送第一信息可以包括：当第一UE接入网络时(比如第一UE初始接入网络时)，发送第一UE的设备标识信息。不难理解，本实施例中可以建立第一终端设备标识和第二终端设备标识的关联关系，然后根据第一UE与第一终端设备标识的关联关系，和第二UE与第二终端设备标识的关联关系，可以建立第一UE和第二UE的 关联关系。
或者，本实施例中可以建立第一UE与第一终端设备标识的关联关系，和第一UE与第二终端设备标识的关联关系，然后根据第二UE与第二终端设备标识的关联关系，可以建立第一UE和第二UE的关联关系。
另一种实施方式中，所述当第一UE接入网络时，发送第一信息可以包括：当第一UE接入网络时(比如第一UE初始接入网络时)，发送第二UE的相关信息，即第一UE关联的第二UE的相关信息；不难理解，基于此可以直接建立第一UE和第二UE的关联关系。
