Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

Fig. 1 is a schematic flowchart showing a method for cell reselection according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The cell reselection method shown in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be applied to a terminal, and the terminal may be based on a multi-card single-standby (for example, dual-card single-standby) mode, or a multi-card multi-standby (for example, dual-card dual-standby) mode, or Multi-card multi-standby multi-pass (for example, dual-card dual-standby dual-pass) mode for communication.

The terminal can be connected to at least two operator networks. For example, the terminal can be used as a user equipment to communicate with a base station in the operator's network, where multiple SIM cards can be set in the terminal, and the SIM cards can be, for example, USIM (Universal Subscriber Identity Module (Global Subscriber Identity Module), multiple SIM cards can be connected to the same operator network, for example, multiple SIM cards are connected to the first operator network, and in addition to multiple SIM cards connected to the first operator network, The terminal may also be provided with a SIM connected to the second operator’s network, where the first operator’s network and the second operator’s network are networks provided by different operators. For example, the first operator’s network may be a mobile network. The second carrier network can be China Unicom or China Telecom.

The following embodiments exemplarily describe the technical solutions of the present disclosure mainly for SIM cards connected to the same operator's network.

As shown in Figure 1, the cell reselection method can be applied to a terminal, the terminal includes multiple user identification SIM cards, the multiple SIM cards are used to connect to the same operator network, the method includes:

In step S1, a target SIM card is determined among the multiple SIM cards;

In step S2, cell reselection is performed through the target SIM card.

In an embodiment, the terminal may determine the target SIM card among multiple SIM cards, and perform cell reselection through the target SIM card. Accordingly, when there are multiple SIM cards connected to the same operator’s network in the terminal, there is no need for different SIM cards to perform cell reselection respectively. Instead, the target SIM card can be used to perform cell reselection, which is beneficial to reduce cell reselection to the terminal. The resulting resource consumption.

Fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart showing another method for cell reselection according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the determining the target SIM card among the multiple SIM cards includes:

In step S11, a target SIM card is determined among the multiple SIM cards according to the priority of the SIM card.

In one embodiment, the priority of the SIM card can be determined, and the priority of the SIM card can be set by the base station, and the terminal can receive the priority information of the SIM card sent by the base station to determine the priority of the SIM card; The priority of the terminal can also be determined by the terminal itself. For example, the communication protocol between the terminal and the base station specifies the priority of each SIM card, and the terminal can determine the priority of the SIM card according to the communication protocol.

Fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart showing another method for cell reselection according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, before determining the target SIM card among the multiple SIM cards according to the priority of the SIM card, the method further includes:

In step S12, the priority of the SIM card is determined according to the information of the SIM card.

In one embodiment, the priority of the SIM card can be determined according to the information of the SIM card,

Taking the use frequency as the information of the SIM card as an example, the priority information of the SIM card corresponding to the use frequency can be determined according to the use frequency from high to low.

As the SIM card is used more frequently, the user has used the SIM card more times in the past period of time. In general, for multiple SIM cards, users will choose a SIM card with better communication quality to use, so the higher the frequency of use of the SIM card, the better the general communication quality.

The cell reselection needs to measure the signal strength of neighboring cells of the current cell where the SIM card is located. The better the communication quality of the SIM card, the more accurate the measurement result. Therefore, the higher priority is determined for the higher frequency SIM card, which can make the terminal tend to choose the higher frequency SIM card for cell reselection, that is, tend to choose the SIM card with better communication quality for cell reselection , Which helps to improve the accuracy of measuring cell signal strength during cell reselection.

Taking the most recent use time (that is, the time of last use of the SIM card) as the information of the SIM card as an example, the priority information of the most recent use time corresponding to the SIM card can be set according to the most recent use time from near to far.

As the SIM card has been used more recently, the more likely it is the SIM card that the user has used under the current network. In general, for multiple SIM cards, the user will choose the SIM card with better communication quality to use in the current network, so the SIM card that the user has used in the current network has average communication quality in the current network better.

The cell reselection needs to measure the signal strength of neighboring cells of the current cell. The better the communication quality of the SIM card, the more accurate the measurement result. Therefore, the higher priority is determined for the SIM card that has been used recently, which can make the terminal tend to select the SIM card that has been used recently for cell reselection, that is, it tends to select the SIM card with better communication quality for the cell. Reselection helps to improve the accuracy of measuring cell signal strength during cell reselection.

Fig. 4 is a schematic flowchart showing another method for cell reselection according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, before determining the target SIM card among the multiple SIM cards according to the priority of the SIM card, the method further includes:

In step S13, the information of the priority set by the base station for each of the multiple SIM cards respectively is received.

In an embodiment, the priority of the SIM card may be set by the base station, and then the base station sends the information of the priority of the SIM card to the terminal. Among them, the base station can set the priority of the SIM card according to the communication protocol with the terminal. For example, the communication protocol stipulates that the priority of SIM card 1 is higher than the priority of SIM card 2, so the base station can set the priority of SIM card higher than SIM card Priority of 2.

Fig. 5 is a schematic flowchart showing yet another cell reselection method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, before receiving that the base station sets a priority for each of the multiple SIM cards, the method further includes:

In step S3, the information of the multiple SIM cards is sent to the base station;

In step S131, it is received that the base station sets a priority for each SIM card of the multiple SIM cards according to the information of the multiple SIM cards.

In one embodiment, the base station can set the priority of the SIM card according to the information of the SIM card. Before setting the priority of the SIM card, the terminal can first send the information of the SIM card to the base station. The terminal can use RRC (Radio Resource Control) , Refers to radio resource control signaling (for example, UE Capability Information signaling) to send SIM card information to the base station.

In one embodiment, the terminal can directly determine the target SIM card among multiple SIM cards based on the information of the SIM card, without determining the priority, which is beneficial to simplify the steps of determining the target SIM card, and how to do it according to the information of the SIM card The selection can be pre-set rules, and the rules can be agreed upon between the terminal and the base station, or issued by the base station to the terminal.

Frequency of use, time of last use.

In one embodiment, taking the frequency of use as an example, when the priority of the SIM card is determined according to the information of the SIM card, the higher the frequency of use of the SIM card is, the higher the priority is; When determining the target SIM card in, the SIM card with the highest use frequency can be determined as the target SIM card, or the SIM card with the use frequency equal to the preset frequency can be determined as the target SIM card.

In one embodiment, taking the time of most recent use as an example, when determining the priority of the SIM card based on the information of the SIM card, the SIM card with the more recently used time has a higher priority; When determining the target SIM card in the SIM card, the SIM card with the most recent use time can be determined as the target SIM card, or the SIM card with the most recent use time equal to the preset time can be determined as the target SIM card.

Fig. 6 is a schematic flowchart showing yet another cell reselection method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 6, the method further includes:

In step S4, the adjusted priority information of the target SIM card sent by the base station is received.

In one embodiment, the base station can adjust the priority of the SIM card, for example, to adjust the priority of the target SIM card, then the adjusted priority information of the target SIM card can be sent to the terminal, and the terminal can determine as needed Whether to re-determine the priority of the target SIM card based on the adjusted priority information of the target SIM card, so as to realize the update of the priority information of the SIM card.

Fig. 7 is a schematic flowchart showing yet another cell reselection method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 7, the determining the target SIM card among the multiple SIM cards includes:

In step S14, an idle SIM card is determined among the multiple SIM cards;

In step S15, the target SIM card is determined among the idle SIM cards.

In one embodiment, there may be an idle SIM card (for example, a SIM card that is not connected to the base station of the current cell) and a non-idle SIM card (for example, a SIM card that is connected to the base station of the current cell). SIM card). Wherein, the connection may be an RRC connection.

For a non-idle SIM card, there is a connection between it and the base station, and for cell reselection, the SIM card is required to detect the signal strength of the neighboring cells of the current cell, which will affect the communication between the SIM card and the base station, thereby affecting The communication quality of the terminal.

In this embodiment, an idle SIM card can be determined among multiple SIM cards, and then a target SIM card is determined among the idle SIM cards, so that subsequent cell reselection is performed through the target SIM card, and the target SIM card is also determined from the idle SIM card. For cell reselection, since the idle SIM card has not established a connection with the base station, detecting the signal strength of the neighboring cells of the current cell through the idle SIM card will not affect the communication quality of the terminal.

Fig. 8 is a schematic flowchart showing another method for cell reselection according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 8, the method further includes:

In step S5, the information of the reselected cell is sent to the other SIM cards of the multiple SIMs through the target SIM card.

In one embodiment, after the target SIM card performs cell reselection, the information of the reselected cell can be determined, such as the identity of the cell, signal strength, etc., and then the cell information can be sent to other SIM cards among multiple SIMs , So that other SIM cards can determine the reselected cell according to the information of the reselected cell, so as to access the reselected cell.

It should be noted that after receiving the information of the reselected cell, other SIM cards can access the reselected cell or not, for example, the information of the reselected cell includes the signal Strength, and the current cell where other SIM cards are located is different from the current cell where the target SIM card is located, then other SIM cards can compare the signal strength of the reselected cell with the signal strength of the current cell where other SIM cards are located. The comparison result determines whether to access the reselected cell.

For example, the current cell where other SIM cards are located is cell A, the current cell where the target SIM card is located is cell B, and the cell after reselection is cell C. The target SIM card compares the signal strength of cell B and cell C to determine the signal of cell C The strength is higher than the signal strength of cell B, so that cell C is determined as the reselected cell, but for other SIM cards, the signal strength of cell C is not necessarily greater than the signal strength of cell A, so you can compare the signal of cell C Strength and the signal strength of cell A. If the signal strength of cell C is greater than the signal strength of cell A, you can access cell C. If the signal strength of cell C is less than or equal to the signal strength of cell A, don’t access cell C and continue Stay in cell A.
