本申请实施例描述的技术可用于各种通信系统,例如第四代(4 th generation,4G)通信系统,4.5G通信系统,5G通信系统,多种通信系统融合的系统,或者未来演进的通信系统。例如长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统,新空口(new radio,NR)系统,无线保真(wireless-fidelity,WiFi)系统,以及第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)相关的通信系统等,以及其他此类通信系统。
首先,对本申请实施例涉及的术语进行解释说明。
(1)用户识别卡
用户识别卡中的信息可以作为终端在某个通信系统进行通信的身份标识,通信系统可以根据终端的用户识别卡中的信息对终端进行身份识别。用户识别卡还可以存储或生成密钥对通话进行加密,降低通话被窃听的风险。
用户识别卡主要用于终端接入通信网络时的身份认证。本申请实施例对用户识别卡的具体形式不做限定,例如用户识别卡可以是SIM卡、USIM卡,虚拟SIM卡,或 后续演进的身份识别卡等。为描述简单,本申请实施例将SIM卡、USIM卡、虚拟SIM卡等统称为SIM卡。SIM卡中有终端用户的身份识别码和密钥,通信系统可以根据SIM卡中的信息对终端用户进行鉴权。
(2)搜网注册
终端在网络进行注册后可获得网络提供的服务。终端在网络注册之后,网络中可保存终端的相关信息,使得网络可以寻呼到终端,也可以使得终端能够接入网络进行通信。
终端在开机过程或者漫游中,首先要利用用户识别卡进行搜网注册,搜网注册流程可以包括以下几个步骤:
步骤1.初始化
初始化过程用于获取用户识别卡信息。例如,在终端插入用户识别卡后,终端与用户识别卡进行数据交互,终端可以获得用户识别卡中包含的信息,后续可以利用这些信息注册到网络。
可以理解,各运营商可以通过用户识别卡中的信息来控制终端的网络服务。
步骤2.公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile network,PLMN)选择
PLMN选择是终端在RRC idle(空闲)态下进行搜网注册时的步骤。例如,终端根据用户识别卡中存储的PLMN信息,确定各个PLMN的优先级,可以从中选择优先级最高的PLMN。终端选择了PLMN,也就确定了网络服务运营商。
终端选择PLMN后可以获取PLMN ID。可以理解,PLMN的优先级可以根据用户识别卡预置服务、服务信号质量等确定。
步骤3.频率扫描
频率扫描即终端进行扫频,确定用于通信的一个频点。
步骤4.小区选择与驻留
终端选择了PLMN后进行了扫频并确定某个频点后,发起小区搜索过程。然后对搜索到的小区进行判断,如果所选的小区所属的PLMN与步骤2选择的PLMN相同,UE则按照驻留准则驻留到该小区,接收小区的系统信息。如果所选的小区所属的PLMN与步骤2选择的PLMN不同,终端可以重新进行小区搜索直到成功驻留到特定小区(例如所属PLMN与步骤2所选PLMN相同的小区)。
步骤5.PLMN注册
终端驻留小区之后可以发起注册流程,注册到所选择PLMN,以获取需要的服务。终端可以和驻留的小区建立无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)连接,进入RRC connected(连接)态以进行后续的数据传输。
至此,终端就完成了搜网注册的过程,可以与网络进行通信。
可选的,终端可以支持多个用户识别卡,例如,可以支持两个用户识别卡。对于支持多个用户识别卡的终端,终端开机后首先可以注册到一个SIM卡对应的通信系统中。例如,终端支持用户识别卡1和用户识别卡2,当终端开机后,可以根据用户识别卡1中的信息在用户识别卡1对应的通信系统的核心网完成注册,该核心网可以记录终端的相关信息,例如,终端的位置信息、能力信息等。该核心网还可以为终端分配IP地址。根据终端的能力,如双卡双待的终端,该终端还可以注册到第二个用户识 别卡对应的通信系统。
此外,终端支持的多个用户识别卡可以区分主用户识别卡和辅用户识别卡。例如,主用户识别卡可以是用户识别卡1,辅用户识别卡可以是用户识别卡2。或者,主用户识别卡是用户识别卡2,辅用户识别卡是用户识别卡1。
(3)用户识别卡对应的小区
本申请实施例中,根据用户识别卡中的信息进行PLMN选择和/或小区选择而确定的驻留小区或业务传输小区都可以称为该用户识别卡对应的小区。具体包括如下几种可能:
第一、搜网注册过程中与终端建立RRC连接的小区可以称为用户识别卡对应的小区。
例如,终端可以利用用户识别卡中的网络信息,在相应的网络进行注册。在注册过程中可以在某小区上建立RRC连接。其中,与终端建立RRC连接的小区可以称为用户识别卡对应的小区。
第二、与终端进行数据传输的小区或驻留小区可以称为用户识别卡对应的小区。
另外,终端完成注册之后,终端可以根据业务的需求或位置移动的状态,改变进行业务的小区(例如,与终端进行数据传输的小区)或驻留小区。这些小区都可以成为该用户识别卡对应的小区。其中,终端在进行业务时的小区处于RRC connected态,在驻留小区处于RRC idle态。
示例的,假设终端的SIM卡1是上海移动4G的卡,SIM卡2是上海联通3G的卡。SIM卡1里有上海移动4G网络对应的多种PLMN信息。终端可以根据SIM卡1里的信息,进行PLMN选择和小区选择。假设终端的用户在上海金桥地区,则PLMN选择的结果就是移动4G的PLMN,小区选择结果是金桥地区某基站1上的小区1。
终端可以根据SIM卡1中的用户身份信息在小区1上发起注册,注册过程需要在小区1上建立RRC连接,此时小区1可以称为SIM卡1对应的小区。
完成注册后,如果终端没有业务需求则可以断开与小区1的RRC连接,进入RRC idle态,但仍然可驻留在小区1上,监听小区1上发送的系统信息,此时小区1也可以称为SIM卡1对应的小区。
如果完成注册后,终端没有业务需求但所处地理位置发生了改变,例如,用户移动到了陆家嘴地区,此时小区选择/重选的结果是陆家嘴基站2上的小区2。终端可以驻留在小区2上监听该小区的系统信息(此时终端处于RRC idle态),那么小区2也可以称为SIM卡1对应的小区。
若此时终端有业务需求,就会在小区2上建立RRC连接,进入RRC connected态,此时小区2可以称为SIM卡1对应的小区。
(4)无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)状态
LTE通信系统中,终端的RRC状态可以是RRC idle态(空闲态)或RRC connected态(连接态)。5G通信系统中,终端的RRC状态可以是RRC idle态、RRC connected态或RRC inactive(未激活)态。
在5G通信系统中,当终端与网络设备建立了RRC连接,终端可以处于RRC connected态或者RRC inactive态。当终端与网络设备未建立RRC连接,终端则处于 RRC idle态。
终端处于inactive态时,终端可以在无线接入网络区域(radio access network based notification area,RNA)内移动,核心网会保持终端的CM(connection management)-connected。可以理解的是,核心网认为终端处于连接状态,会保留终端的RRC配置信息。
可以理解,终端从RRC connected态进入RRC inactive态的时候,基站可以指示一个RNA区域,终端在该RNA区域内的活动不需要知会网络,但是超出该RNA区域就需要做RNA更新(update)。
(5)带宽部分(bandwidth part,BWP)
BWP是载波上一组连续的RB资源,可以为终端配置BWP以用于上行或下行传输。新空口(new radio,NR)Rel-15中一个服务小区最多可以给一个终端配置4个BWP。
其中,用于终端接收数据的BWP称为下行BWP,用于终端发送数据的BWP称为上行BWP。对于一个终端,可选地,同时只能激活一个BWP,终端在激活的BWP上进行数据的收发。

此外,在本申请实施例中,终端还可以是物联网(internet of things,IoT)系统中的终端设备,IoT是未来信息技术发展的重要组成部分,其主要技术特点是将物品通过通信技术与网络连接,从而实现人机互连,物物互连的智能化网络。本申请实施例中的终端设备还可以是机器类型通信(machine type communication,MTC)中的终端设备。本申请的终端设备还可以是作为一个或多个部件或者单元而内置于车辆的车载模块、车载模组、车载部件、车载芯片或者车载单元,车辆通过内置的所述车载模块、车载模组、车载部件、车载芯片或者车载单元可以实施本申请的方法。因此,本申请实施例可以应用于车联网,例如车辆外联(vehicle to everything,V2X)、车间通信长期演进技术(long term evolution-vehicle,LTE-V)、车到车(vehicle-to-vehicle,V2V)等。
图2a~图2c示出了支持两个用户识别卡的终端的结构示意。其中,一个用户识别卡可以对应一套或多套射频电路。射频电路与天线连接。终端可以通过与射频电路连接的天线接收信号,射频电路中的接收部分与相应的天线构成一个接收通道。终端还可以通过与射频电路连接的天线发送信号,射频电路中的发送部分与相应的天线构成一个发送通道。
参考图2a,终端中的SIM卡1和SIM卡2共享一个接收通道,SIM卡1和SIM卡2共享同一个发送通道,这种结构也可以称为单收单发(single Rx/single Tx)结构;参考2b,SIM卡1和SIM卡2可以对应各自独立的接收通道,但SIM卡1和SIM卡2共享一个发送通道,这种结构也可以称为双收单发(dual Rx/single Tx)结构;参考图2c,两个发送通道中一个是SIM卡独立使用的,另一个是各SIM卡共享的。图2c中Tx1和Tx2是各SIM独立的发送通道,Tx1还可以共享给SIM卡2使用。当SIM卡1不使用Tx1时,SIM卡2可以同时使用Tx1和Tx2两个发送通道;当SIM卡1 使用Tx1时,SIM卡2则不能使用Tx1发送。图2c这种结构也可以称为双收双发(dual Rx/dual Tx)结构。
图1所示的通信系统可以支持图3所示的CA场景,CA是将两个或两个以上的单元载波(component carrier,CC)聚合在一起以支持更大的传输带宽,一个CC对应一个小区。如图3所示,网络设备100和终端200通过主小区和/或辅小区进行通信。其中,主小区包括主载波,可以是主下行载波和/或主上行载波。辅小区包括辅载波,可以是辅下行载波和/或辅上行载波。终端200可以位于主小区覆盖范围,向网络设备100发送数据,网络设备100也可以通过主小区下行载波向终端200发送数据。终端200也可以位于辅小区覆盖范围内,通过辅小区上行载波向网络设备发送数据,网络设备100也可以通过辅小区下行载波向终端200发送数据。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例对主小区覆盖范围和辅小区覆盖范围的大小没有限制,为描述方便,将一个小区称为主小区,另一个小区称为辅小区,主小区和辅小区可以互换,主小区和辅小区的名称本身不起限定作用。
图1所示的通信系统还可以支持图4所示的DC场景,即用于聚合的至少两个载波是不同的网络设备提供的载波。
参考图4,在DC场景中,网络设备101可以为终端200提供一个载波(图4所示的载波1),用于终端200与网络设备101之间进行通信。网络设备102可以为终端200提供一个载波(图4所示的载波2),用于终端200与网络设备102之间进行通信。网络设备101可以是主节点,网络设备102可以是辅节点,载波1可以称为主小区组载波(或者可以称为主节点载波),载波2可以称为辅小区组载波(或者可以称为辅节点载波);
或者,网络设备102可以是主节点,网络设备101可以是辅节点,载波2可以称为主小区组载波(或者可以称为主节点载波),载波1可以称为辅小区组载波(或者可以称为辅节点载波)。
本申请实施例中,终端根据不同SIM卡注册在不同的通信系统。其中,终端在一个通信系统进行通信的载波之间支持CA或DC。例如,终端利用第一SIM卡注册在第一通信系统,第一通信系统为终端配置了3.5GHz和2.1GHz两个载波(这两个载波之间可以支持CA或DC),终端可以通过3.5GHz载波和2.1G两个载波在第一通信系统进行收发数据。终端利用第二SIM卡注册在第二通信系统,第二通信系统为终端配置了一个900MHz的载波,终端可以通过900MHz载波在第二通信系统进行数据收发。
支持多SIM卡的终端进行通信所对应的SIM卡发生切换时,可能会对通信系统的性能造成影响。例如,终端根据第一SIM卡中的信息注册在第一通信系统,在第一通信系统中进行通信时,由于终端自身的需求,终端可能会断开与第一通信系统的网络设备之间的连接,突然与第一通信系统断开连接。在终端与第一通信系统断开连接期间,第一通信系统会继续寻呼终端,造成该系统寻呼资源的浪费,进而影响第一通信系统的通信性能,导致该系统的传输效率下降。或者终端自主与第一通信系统断开连接,造成第一通信系统对终端状态的错误理解,从而错误统计系统中的数据,导致通信资源的浪费或通信过程的错误。
为描述简便,本申请实施例以各通信系统包括一个小区为例进行描述。当一个通 信系统包括多个小区时,本申请仍然适用。本申请对一个通信系统包括的小区个数不做限定。
本申请实施例提供一种通信系统切换方法,终端接收来自第一网络设备的第一信息,所述第一信息包括所述终端在第一小区上与所述第一网络设备进行通信的第一参数,所述第一参数指示所述终端在第二小区上进行通信。所述第一小区与所述终端的第一用户识别卡对应,所述第二小区与所述终端的第二用户识别卡对应。所述终端接收第一信息后,可以在第二小区上与第二网络设备进行通信。本申请实施例中,终端使用一个用户识别卡注册到第一通信系统之后,该通信系统中的第一网络设备可以通过第一信息指示终端可以切换到另一个第二用户识别卡所对应的通信系统,即使用第二用户识别卡注册到的第二通信系统,与第二通信系统中的第二网络设备进行通信。其中第一网络设备和第二网络设备可以是相同的网络设备,也可以是不同的网络设备。可见,网络侧、终端侧对终端切换用户识别卡对应通信系统的行为进行了统一,网络侧可以获知终端切换用户识别卡对应通信系统的行为,当终端切换用户识别卡,与第一通信系统断开连接,第一通信系统可以暂停寻呼终端或对该终端的状态统计,避免因此造成的资源浪费。因此,本申请实施例提供的方法可以在一定程度上降低终端切换SIM卡时对通信系统的通信性能造成的影响。
本申请实施例中切换用户识别卡,也可以理解为终端切换用户识别卡对应的通信系统,或者部分终端能力从一个通信系统转移到另一个通信系统。例如,终端首先根据第一用户识别卡中的信息注册到第一网络,与第一小区建立RRC连接。终端还可以根据第二用户识别卡中的信息注册到第二网络,终端切换用户识别卡可以是从第一网络切换到第二网络,在第二网络的小区(例如,第二小区)中进行通信。也可以是部分或全部射频或基带能力从第一网络转移到第二网络。射频或基带资源的切换也可以理解为不同通信系统之间的能力协调。

本申请实施例提供一种通信系统切换方法,如图6所示,所述方法包括以下步骤:
601、第一网络设备向终端发送第一信息,终端接收该第一信息;第一信息包括终端在第一小区上与第一网络设备进行通信的第一参数,第一参数指示所述终端在第二小区上进行通信;第一小区与终端的第一用户识别卡对应,第二小区与终端的第二用户识别卡对应。
本申请实施例中,用户识别卡例如可以是SIM卡,存储有终端进行身份验证的信息。终端可以利用第一用户识别卡中的信息注册到第一通信系统,可以在第一通信系统中进行通信。示例的,在第一网络设备的第一小区上与第一网络设备进行通信,可以是向第一网络设备发送数据,或者,接收第一网络设备发送的数据。可以认为第一小区是与第一用户识别卡对应的小区,即第一小区与终端的第一用户识别卡对应。

602、终端在所述第二小区上与第二网络设备进行通信。
具体实现中,通过第一参数激活第一小区不进行数据收发的BWP,当第一小区不进行数据收发的BWP被激活,终端可以通过第二小区与第二网络设备通信。或者,第一参数可以指示第一小区在哪些时间单元上被激活,也就可以确定哪些时间单元上第一小区没有被激活,终端可以在这些第一小区没有被激活的时间单元上通过第二小区与第二网络设备通信。或者,第一参数可以指示第一小区的BWP在哪些时间单元上被激活,也就可以确定哪些时间单元上第一小区的BWP没有被激活,在这些第一小区的BWP没有被激活的时间单元上终端可以通过第二小区与第二网络设备通信。或者,第一参数指示终端在第一小区上进行通信的收发能力,当终端在第一小区上进行通信的收发能力低于终端最大收发能力,终端通过第一小区与第一网络设备进行通信的同时,还可以通过第二小区与第二网络设备通信。
具体可以通过以下三种方式中的一种或多种配置第一信息中的第一参数:
第一种方式、第一网络设备可以为终端配置第一小区上的BWP,在该BWP上终端不进行数据的接收或发送。该BWP可以是上行BWP或下行BWP,在上行BWP上终端不进行数据的发送,在下行BWP上终端不进行数据的接收。示例的,该BWP可以称为特殊BWP(special BWP)、空闲BWP、暂停BWP,或休眠BWP等,本申请实施例对BWP的名称不作限定。其中,特殊BWP可以为特殊下行BWP或特殊上行BWP,空闲BWP可以为空闲下行BWP或空闲上行BWP,暂停BWP可以为暂停下行BWP或暂停上行BWP,休眠BWP可以为休眠下行BWP或休眠上行BWP。在特殊下行BWP上终端不进行数据的接收;在特殊上行BWP上终端不进行数据的发送。第一网络设备可以通过第一参数激活为第一小区配置的特殊BWP。当为第一小区配置的特殊BWP被激活时,终端在第一小区上不进行数据的接收或发送。
以激活特殊下行BWP为例,当特殊下行BWP被激活时,终端可以将接收通道切换至第二用户识别卡注册的通信系统,与第二通信系统的第二网络设备进行通信,在第二网络设备的小区(即本申请实施例所述的第二小区)进行数据的接收。此外,终端在第一小区上不进行数据接收,例如终端在第一小区上不进行以下一项或多项:监听控物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)、接收物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel,PDSCH)、信道状态信息(channel state information,CSI)测量、接收系统信息。
以激活特殊上行BWP为例,当特殊上行BWP被激活时,终端可以将接收通道切换至第二用户识别卡注册的通信系统,与第二通信系统的第二网络设备进行通信,在第二网络设备的小区(即本申请实施例所述的第二小区)上进行数据发送。此外,终端在第一小区上不进行数据发送,例如终端在第一小区上不进行以下一项或多项:发送物理上行控制信道(physical upwnlink control channel,PUCCH)、发送物理下行共 享信道(physical upwnlink shared channel,PUSCH)。
具体实现中,第一参数可以包括:第一小区上激活的一个或多个第一BWP的信息。其中,第一BWP可以是上述特殊BWP(可以是特殊下行BWP或特殊上行BWP)。终端从第一网络设备接收第一信息后,根据第一信息可以确定第一小区上有激活的第一BWP,还可以确定终端可以切换至第二用户识别卡的通信系统,与第二通信系统的第二网络设备进行通信,在第二网络设备的第二小区上接收第二网络设备发送的数据,或,在第二网络设备的第二小区上向第二网络设备发送数据。
第二种方式、第一网络设备可以指示第二小区在哪些时间单元上被激活,或者,也可以指示第二小区的BWP在哪些时间单元上被激活。当第二小区或第二小区的BWP在某个时间单元上被激活时,终端可以在第二小区或第二小区的BWP上与第二网络设备进行通信。
示例性地,第一参数指示小区激活模式或BWP激活模式;所述小区激活模式用于指示所述第二小区在一个或多个时间单元上被激活;所述BWP激活模式用于指示所述第二小区上配置的BWP在一个或多个时间单元上被激活。
可以理解,第二小区上配置的BWP被激活时,终端可以在BWP上进行正常的数据收发,即当第二小区上配置的这种BWP被激活时,终端可以在该BWP上进行正常的通信,例如,监听PDCCH、接收PDSCH、测量CSI、接收系统信息、发送物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel,PUSCH)等。其中,这种在第二小区上配置的BWP可以称为常规BWP、或正常BWP等,与上述特殊BWP不同,本申请实施例对BWP的名称不做限制。
类似的,当第二小区被激活,终端在激活的第二小区上可以进行正常的数据收发,例如,监听PDCCH、接收PDSCH、测量CSI、接收系统信息、发送物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel,PUSCH)等。
可选的,上述小区激活模式或BWP激活模式可以通过比特序列进行指示。可选的,第一参数可以包括长度为M的第一比特序列,第一比特序列指示第一小区的激活模式或第一小区的BWP激活模式。当终端工作在两个小区上时,终端可以对第一比特序列取反,得到第二小区对应的比特序列,根据得到的比特序列确定第二小区的BWP激活模式,即第二小区的BWP在哪些时间单元上被激活。或者,第一比特序列指示第一小区的激活模式,当终端工作在两个小区上时,终端可以对第一比特序列取反,得到第二小区对应的比特序列,根据得到的比特序列确定第二小区激活模式,即第二小区在哪些时间单元上被激活。
例如,所述第一比特序列对应N个时间单元,所述第一比特序列中的任意一个比特用于指示所述第一小区上配置的BWP在所述N个时间单元中的一个或多个时间单元上被激活,M小于等于N。假设第一比特序列为01101,其中一个比特对应一个时隙(slot),第一比特序列与时隙1~5一一对应。对第一比特序列取反,得到第二比特序列“10010”,与时隙1~5一一对应。比特为“0”代表对应的时隙上,第二小区或为第二小区配置的BWP未被激活;比特为“1”代表对应的时隙上,第二小区或为第二小区配置的BWP被激活。第二比特序列“10010”表示:在时隙1上,第二小区或为第二小区配置的BWP被激活,终端可以在时隙1上,通过第二小区或为第二小区 配置的BWP与第二网络设备进行通信,在第二小区上进行数据收发。在时隙4上,为第二小区配置的BWP被激活,终端可以在时隙4上,通过第二小区或为第二小区配置的BWP与第二网络设备进行通信,在第二小区上进行数据收发。
可以理解,第一参数还可以是布尔类型的序列,例如,第一序列为false,true,true。其中,False代表不激活,true代表激活。
可选的,第一参数可以包括长度为M的第二比特序列,所述第二比特序列对应所述N个时间单元,所述第二比特序列中的任意一个比特用于指示所述第二小区上配置的BWP在所述N个时间单元中的一个或多个时间单元上被激活。示例的,第二比特序列为“10001”,其中,每个比特对应2个时隙,第二比特序列对应时隙1~10。假设比特为“0”代表对应的时隙上,第二小区未被激活或为第二小区配置的BWP未被激活;比特为“1”代表对应的时隙上,第二小区被激活或为第二小区配置的BWP被激活。第二比特序列“10001”表示:时隙1和时隙2上,第二小区被激活或为第二小区配置的BWP被激活,终端可以在时隙1和时隙2上,通过为第二小区配置的BWP与第二网络设备进行通信,在第二小区上进行数据收发。时隙9和时隙10上,第二小区被激活或为第二小区配置的BWP被激活,终端可以在时隙9和时隙10上,通过为第二小区配置的BWP与第二网络设备进行通信,在第二小区上进行数据收发。
可选的,第一参数包括长度为M的第一比特序列和长度为M的第二比特序列。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例所述的时间单元可以是一个或多个时域符号、一个或多个时隙、一个或多个子帧、或者一个或多个无线帧等。
一种可能的实现方法中,上述第一比特序列和上述第二比特序列的长度不同。可选的,第一比特序列的长度为M1,第一比特序列的比特与时间单元一一对应,例如,第一比特序列与N1个时间单元对应,其中M1=N1。第二比特序列的长度为M2,第二比特序列的一个比特对应多个时间单元,例如,第二比特序列与N2个时间单元对应,其中M2<N2。
示例的,第一比特序列包含4个比特,与4个时间单元一一对应。第二比特序列包含两个比特,其中一个比特对应两个时间单元。
此外,第一比特序列对应的时间单元和第二比特序列对应的时间单元的长度可以不同,例如,时间单元的绝对时间长度不同,示例的,第一比特序列对应的一个时间单元是0.5ms,第二比特序列对应的一个时间单元是1ms。
或者,第一比特序列对应的时间单元的数量与第二比特序列对应的时间单元的数量相同,但由于numerology参数不同导致二者对应的时间单元的绝对时间不同。例如,第一比特序列对应的一个时间单元是一个时隙,第二比特序列对应的一个时间单元也是一个时隙,但是由于第一小区的numerology参数与第二小区的numerology参数不同,导致第一比特序列对应的时隙与第二比特序列对应的时隙的长度不同。例如,第一小区的numerology参数是0,对应的子载波间隔(sub carrier spacing,SCS)为15KHz,当numerology参数为0时,一个时隙对应1ms。第二小区的numerology参数是1,对应的SCS为30KHz,当numerology参数为1时,一个时隙对应0.5ms。此外,numerology参数可以用μ来表示。
第三种方式、第一参数还可以指示终端在第一小区上的收发能力。例如,第一参 数可以包括终端在第一小区上的收发参数。当终端在第一小区上的接收能力低于终端所支持的最大接收能力时,支持终端的第一用户识别卡和第二用户识别卡可以共享终端的接收通道,从而支持终端在第一小区和第二小区上同时接收数据。当终端在第一小区上的发送能力低于终端所支持的最大发送能力时,支持终端的第一用户识别卡和第二用户识别卡可以共享终端的发送通道,从而支持终端在第一小区和第二小区上同时发送数据。
示例的,第一参数包括:所述终端在所述第一小区上进行通信的收发参数;所述收发参数指示所述终端在所述第一小区上的收发能力,所述终端在所述第一小区上的收发能力低于所述终端支持的最大收发能力。
可选的,收发参数可以是终端在第一小区上进行上行发送的发送参数,该发送参数指示终端在第一小区上的发送能力。其中,终端在第一小区上的发送能力可以是终端在第一小区上进行上行发送所使用的发送天线数量,例如,用3Tx表示发送天线数量为3,其中Tx表示发送天线。
示例的,收发参数可以是第一小区的BWP配置参数中,与上行发射天线个数有关的参数,例如,收发参数为PUSCH-Config IE中的参数1、参数2、参数3、参数4中的一个或多个。其中,参数1表示使用基于码本的发送方式,还是使用不基于码本的发送方式,参数1可以是txConfig参数。参数2表示在全部和部分非相干的发送、部分非相干发送或非相干发送中选择一种发送方式,参数2可以是codebookSubset参数。参数3表示发送的最大阶数,参数3可以是maxRank参数。参数4表示MIMO发送的最大层数,参数4可以是PUSCH-ServingCellConfig IE中的maxMIMO-Layers参数。其中,maxMIMO-Layers参数与终端可以使用的最大天线个数有关。
示例性的,终端支持采用最多4个天线进行数据发送,其中终端在第一通信系统的第一小区上最多可以支持采用4个天线进行数据发送(也就是最大的终端能力),其中2个天线的发送能力是来源于与第二通信系统的能力共享,而终端在第二通信系统的第二小区上最多支持采用2个天线进行数据发送。当终端只需要向第一网络设备发送数据时,可以使用4个天线进行数据发送,则maxMIMO-Layers参数可以设置为4;当终端既需要向第一网络设备发送数据,又需要向第二网络设备发送数据时,第一小区可以使用2个天线进行数据发送,则第一小区上maxMIMO-Layers参数可以设置为2,第二小区也可以使用2个天线进行数据发送,则第二小区上maxMIMO-Layers参数可以设置为2。
收发参数也可以是BWP配置参数中,与下行接收天线个数有关的参数,指示终端在第一小区上的接收能力。其中,终端在第一小区上的接收能力可以是终端在第一小区上进行下行接收所使用的接收天线数量,例如可以用3Rx表示接收天线数量的数量为3,其中,Rx表示接收天线。
示例性的,收发参数是PDSCH-Config IE中参数5,其中,参数5表示下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)可以调度的最大码字个数。参数5可以是maxNrofCodeWordsScheduledByDCI参数。其中,当MIMO的发送层数大于一定门限值时,可以支持多个码字的发送。示例性的,当终端支持最大4层的MIMO时,可以允许一个DCI调度2个码字,即参数5可以表示“调度2个码字”。
需要说明的是,第一小区的BWP配置参数用于为第一小区配置BWP,可以是第一网络设备通过RRC消息或MAC CE或下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)配置的。此外,本申请实施例中涉及的BWP可以是下行BWP或上行BWP。
本申请实施例中,对应上述三种配置第一参数的方式,终端也可以通过以下三种方式确定可以在第二小区上与第二网络设备进行通信:
第一种方式、终端从第一网络设备接收第一信息,第一信息中的第一参数指示为第一小区配置的第一BWP被激活。其中,第一BWP可以称为特殊BWP,可以包括特殊的下行BWP或特殊的上行BWP。在特殊的下行BWP上终端不进行数据的接收;在特殊的上行BWP上终端不进行数据的发送。
因此,终端可以确定在第一小区上暂时不进行数据传输,包括上行数据发送和/或下行数据接收。在为第一小区配置的第一BWP激活期间,终端可以切换到第二用户识别卡,在第二用户识别卡对应的第二小区上与第二网络设备进行通信。
第二种方式、终端从第一网络设备接收第一信息,第一信息中第一参数指示了第二小区激活模式或第二小区的BWP激活模式,终端可以根据第二小区的BWP激活模式确定为第二小区配置的BWP在哪些时间单元上被激活。当某个时间单元上,为第二小区配置的BWP被激活,终端可以切换到第二用户识别卡,在第二用户识别卡对应的第二小区上与第二网络设备进行通信。或者,根据第二小区激活模式确定第二小区在哪些时间单元上被激活。当某个时间单元上,第二小区被激活,终端可以切换到第二用户识别卡,在第二用户识别卡对应的第二小区上与第二网络设备进行通信。
示例性的,第一参数为长度为M的第一比特序列,指示了第一小区的激活模式或第一小区的BWP激活模式。假设相同的时间单元上只能激活一个小区的BWP,即一个时间单元上,要么第一小区的BWP被激活,要么第二小区的BWP被激活。或者,相同的时间单元上只能激活一个小区,即一个时间单元上,要么第一小区被激活,要么第二小区被激活。因此,终端可以对第一比特序列取反,获得第二比特序列。第二比特序列指示第二小区的激活模式或第二小区的BWP激活模式,终端可以根据第二小区的激活模式确定第二小区在哪些时间单元上被激活,或者,根据第二小区的BWP激活模式确定为第二小区配置的BWP在哪些时间单元上被激活。例如,在时隙1上,为第二小区配置的BWP被激活,终端可以切换到第二用户识别卡,在第二用户识别卡对应的第二小区上与第二网络设备进行通信。或者,在时隙1上,第二小区被激活,终端可以切换到第二用户识别卡,在第二用户识别卡对应的第二小区上与第二网络设备进行通信。
示例性的,第一参数也可以为上述第二比特序列,终端可以直接根据第二比特序列确定为第二小区配置的BWP在哪些时间单元上被激活,或者,第二小区在哪些时间单元上被激活。
第三种方式、第一参数为终端在第一小区上进行通信的收发参数。当该收发参数所指示的发送能力低于终端所支持的最大发送能力,终端可以确定第一用户识别卡和第二用户识别卡共享终端的发送通道,支持终端在第一小区和第二小区上同时进行上行发送。当该收发参数所指示的接收能力低于终端所支持的最大接收能力,终端可以确定第一用户识别卡和第二用户识别卡共享终端的接收通道,支持终端在第一小区和 第二小区上同时进行下行接收。
示例的,第一参数包括maxMIMO-Layers,指示终端在第一小区上最多支持2Tx上行发送,假设终端最大支持4Tx发送,由于4Tx大于2Tx,即第一参数指示的发送能力低于终端所支持的最大发送能力,终端可以在第一小区和第二小区上同时进行通信。其中,终端使用2Tx在第一小区上进行上行发送,使用其余2Tx在第二小区上进行上行发送。
本申请实施例中,第一网络设备与第二网络设备可以是不同的网络设备,第一小区和第二小区是不同网络设备的小区。例如,第一网络设备是4G基站,第一小区是4G小区,第二网络设备是5G基站,第二小区是5G小区。终端在4G小区进行通信的载波之间支持CA或DC,在5G小区进行通信的载波之间也支持CA或DC。
此外,第一网络设备和第二网络设备也可以是相同的网络设备,第一小区和第二小区是同一网络设备的不同小区。例如,第一网络设备、第二网络设备均指的是某个5G基站,第一小区该5G基站的服务小区1,第二小区是该5G基站的服务小区2。终端在服务小区1上进行通信的载波之间支持CA或DC,在服务小区2上进行通信的载波之间也支持CA或DC。
需要说明的是,终端在第二小区上与第二网络设备的通信包括接收数据或发送数据,终端的RRC状态可以为RRC connected态,RRC inactive态或RRC idle态。
可选的,图6所示的方法还包括:终端向所述第一网络设备发送第二信息;所述第二信息用于指示所述终端支持的最大收发能力和所述终端对应不同用户识别卡的收发共享能力。
其中,所述终端支持的最大收发能力可以是终端支持的最大发射天线数,也可以是终端支持的最大接收天线数。终端对应不同用户识卡的收发共享能力,可以是终端对应第一用户识别卡的收发共享能力、和/或终端对应第二用户识别卡的收发共享能力。例如,终端对应第一用户识别卡的收发共享能力可以指示终端在第一小区上进行通信时是否支持接收通道的共享,或,终端在第一小区上进行通信时是否支持发送通道的共享。终端对应第二用户识别卡的收发共享能力可以指示终端在第二小区上进行通信时是否支持接收通道的共享,或终端在第二小区上进行通信时是否支持发送通道的共享。终端对应第一用户识别卡的收发共享能力还可以指示终端在第一小区进行通信时支持的共享程度,终端对应第二用户识别卡的收发共享能力还可以指示终端在第二小区进行通信时支持的共享程度。
示例性的,第二信息可以包括一个比例系数,根据比例系数可以确定终端在第一小区上进行通信时支持的接收通道/发送通道的数量,例如,第二信息中用于指示终端共享能力的比例系数为50%,假设终端在第一小区上最大支持4Tx发送,根据比例系数50%可以确定终端在第一小区上支持2Tx共享,即终端在第一小区上使用2Tx进行发送,同时还可以在在第二小区上使用2Tx进行发送。
示例性的,第二信息可以包括终端在第一小区上进行通信时支持共享的接收通道/发送通道的数量。例如,第二信息中用于指示终端共享能力的参数为1Tx,假设终端在第一小区上最大支持2Tx发送,则终端在第一小区上支持1Tx共享,即终端在第一小区上使用1Tx进行发送,同时还可以在在第二小区上使用1Tx进行发送。
示例性的,第二信息可以包括MaxNumberTx参数、SharedNumberTx参数。其中,MaxNumberTx参数用于指示终端支持的最大收发能力,SharedNumberTx参数用于指示终端的收发共享能力。
示例的,第一用户识别卡(例如,SIM卡1)对应的参数可以包括:MaxRx1、MaxTx1、SharedRx1、SharedTx1。其中,MaxRx1代表第一用户识别卡对应的通信系统支持的最大接收能力。为描述简单,可以将用户识别卡支持的能力简述为用户识别卡的能力。MaxTx1代表第一用户识别卡支持的最大发送能力,SharedRx1代表第一用户识别卡是否支持共享接收天线,SharedTx1代表第一用户识别卡是否支持共享发送天线。例如,SharedRx1、SharedTx1可以是0或1,其中0表示不支持共享,1表示支持共享;或者,SharedRx1、SharedTx1可以是false或true,其中,false表示不支持共享,true表示支持共享。
第二用户识别卡(例如,SIM卡2)对应的参数可以包括:MaxRx2、MaxTx2、SharedRx2、SharedTx2。其中,MaxRx2代表第二用户识别卡支持的最大接收能力,MaxTx2代表第二用户识别卡支持的最大发送能力,SharedRx2代表第二用户识别卡是否支持共享接收天线,SharedTx2代表第二用户识别卡是否支持共享发送天线。参数说明同第一用户识别卡能力说明。
此外,MaxTx和MaxRx表示终端可以支持的最大发送通道和最大的接收通道。MaxTx1+MaxTx2=<MaxTx,MaxRx1+MaxRx2=<MaxRx。
以图2c为例:MaxTx=2;MaxTx1=1;SharedTx1=1(或true);MaxTx2=2;SharedTx2=0(或false);
其中MaxTx2=2中有一个Tx是SIM卡2专享的,另一个是SIM卡1共享的。当SIM卡1不使用时SIM卡2才能使用。
可选的,图6所示的所述方法还包括:所述终端向所述第一网络设备发送第三信息;所述第三信息用于请求所述第一信息。
可以理解的是,终端因为自身的业务需求决定离开第一用户识别卡对应的第一通信系统,即终端断开与第一通信系统的连接,接入第二用户识别卡对应的第二通信系统进行通信。终端可以向第一网络设备发送第三信息,请求与第一通信系统断开连接,并接入第二通信系统,与第二通信系统建立连接。第一网络设备从终端接收第三信息后,可以向终端发送第一信息,指示终端切换到第二通信系统,在第二小区上与第二网络设备进行通信。
可选的,所述第三信息还包括第一时长,所述第一时长为所述终端请求在所述第二小区进行通信的时长。
可选的,图6所示的方法还包括:终端获取第二时长,所述第二时长为所述终端被允许在所述第二小区进行通信的时长。示例性的,终端可以从第一网络设备接收第二时长。示例的,第一网络设备可以将第二时长携带在第一信息中向终端发送。终端在第二小区上进行通信的时长超过所述第二时长时,终端可以回到第一小区,与第一网络设备进行通信。所谓回到第一小区,可以是终端重新与第一网络设备建立RRC连接,在第一小区上与第一网络设备进行通信。或者终端在与第二小区进行通信时仍然维持与第一小区的RRC连接(或者称是RRC连接被挂起),完成与第二小区通信后, 终端直接回到第一小区对应的通信系统,恢复RRC连接,在第一小区上与第一网络设备进行通信。
另示例性的,终端可以从第一网络设备接收第一定时器的信息,第一定时器用于限制终端被允许在所述第二小区进行通信的时长。终端可以根据第一定时器的信息启动第一定时器,当第一定时器超时,终端可以回到第一小区,与第一网络设备进行通信。
可以理解的是,第一时长是终端自身所请求的在第二小区进行通信的时长,第一网络设备最终允许终端在第二小区进行通信的时长与终端所请求的时长可以相同,也可以不相同。即上述第一时长与第二时长可以相同,也可以不同,本申请实施例对此不做限制。
可选的,在配置第一参数的第一种方式中,第一参数还可以包括:第一小区上激活的一个或多个第二BWP的信息。需要说明的,第二BWP是常规的BWP,与上述特殊BWP不同,当为第一小区配置的第二BWP被激活,终端可以在第一小区上通过激活的第二BWP进行正常的通信,例如,监听PDCCH、接收PDSCH、测量CSI、接收系统信息、发送PUSCH等。
可选的,在配置第一参数的第二种方式中,当某个时间单元上,为第一小区配置的第二BWP被激活,终端可以在第一小区上,通过为第一小区配置的第二BWP与第一网络设备进行通信。
可选的,在配置第一参数的第三种方式中,若第一参数指示的终端在第一小区上进行通信的收发能力等于终端所支持的最大收发能力,终端终端在第一小区上进行通信时使用终端的所有接收通道/发送通道。示例的,第一参数中指示支持终端在第一小区上使用2Tx进行上行发送,终端最大支持2Tx发送,终端在第一小区上通信时独享2Tx,使用2Tx在第二小区上进行上行发送。
本申请实时提供的方法中,第一网络设备还可以通过第一信息指示终端切换用户识别卡,终端接收第一信息后可以切换到第二用户识别卡,利用第二用户识别卡接入第二通信系统,与第二通信系统中的第二网络设备进行通信。网络侧可以获知终端切换用户识别卡的行为,当终端切换用户识别卡,与第一通信系统断开连接,第一通信系统可以暂停寻呼终端,避免因此造成的资源浪费;第一通信系统在调度是也可以暂时忽略该终端,避免因此造成调度数据的不准确。因此,本申请实施例提供的方法可以在一定程度上降低终端切换SIM卡时对通信系统的通信性能造成的影响。
本申请实施例还提供一种通信系统切换方法,以双卡双待的终端为例,所述终端包括SIM卡1和SIM卡2两个SIM卡,所述终端可以利用SIM卡1与RAN1进行通信,可以利用SIM卡2与RAN2进行通信。其中,SIM卡1即本申请实施例所述的第一用户识别卡,RAN1即本申请实施例所述的第一通信系统,RAN1的网络设备(例如,基站)即本申请实施例所述的第一网络设备;SIM卡2即本申请实施例所述的第二用户识别卡,RAN2即本申请实施例所述的第二通信系统,RAN2的网络设备(例如,基站)即本申请实施例所述的第二网络设备。如图7所示,所述方法包括以下步骤:
701、终端利用SIM卡1与RAN1进行通信。
具体地,终端与RAN1建立RRC连接,进入RRC connected态。例如,终端可以在第一小区上接收RAN1的网络设备发送的数据,也可以在第一小区上向RAN1的网络设备发送数据。其中,第一小区是RAN1对应的小区,RAN1的网络设备为第一小区提供覆盖服务。
702、终端向RAN1的网络设备发送射频切换请求,该请求中包括终端请求的通信时长ΔT1。
具体地,当终端需要在SIM卡2对应的第二小区进行数据收发时,可以向RAN1的网络设备发送射频切换请求,请求切换至SIM卡2对应的通信系统。需要说明的是,第二小区是RAN2对应的小区,RAN2的网络设备为第二小区提供覆盖服务。
需要说明的是,射频切换请求可以是本申请实施例所述的第三信息,通信时长ΔT1可以是本申请实施例所述的第一时长,即终端请求在第二小区进行通信的时长。
示例性的,该射频切换请求可以承载在RRC消息中。
703、RAN1的网络设备向终端发送切换指示信息,该信息指示终端在第二小区上与RAN2的网络设备进行通信。
具体地,切换指示信息可以是本申请实施例所述的第一信息。RAN1的网络设备可以通过以下三种方式来指示终端从SIM卡1对应的第一小区切换到SIM卡2对应的第二小区上进行通信,具体如下:
第一种方式中,通过BWP的配置和BWP切换指示来指示终端从SIM卡1对应的第一小区切换到SIM卡2对应的第二小区上进行通信。
以下行接收为例,假设SIM卡1对应的第一小区为NR小区(即NR通信系统中5G基站的服务小区),RAN1的网络设备为第一小区至少配置了两个下行BWP,一个为正常BWP(regular BWP,即本申请实施例所述的第一BWP),另一个为特殊BWP(也可称为空闲BWP、暂停BWP,休眠BWP,本申请实施例对该BWP的名称不作限定)。当正常BWP激活时,终端工作在正常BWP上,进行正常的通信,例如,监听PDCCH、接收PDSCH、进行CSI测量、接收系统信息等。当特殊BWP(special BWP)时,不进行数据接收处理,例如,终端不监听PDCCH、不接收PDSCH、不进行CSI测量、不接收系统信息等。其中BWP切换指示可以通过下述中的一种实现:RRC信令指示、DCI指示、基于定时器的BWP切换或基于MAC层流程触发的BWP切换。
在步骤703中,切换指示信息可以包括被激活的特殊BWP的信息,终端接收切换指示信息之后确定为第一小区配置的特殊BWP被激活,终端在第一小区上不进行数据接收处理,可以切换到SIM卡2对应的第二小区上与RAN2的网络设备进行通信。当然,假设切换指示信息包括被激活的正常BWP的信息,终端在第一小区上进行正常的通信。
示例的,参考图8,BWP1为正常BWP,BWP2为特殊BWP。当RAN1的网络设备通过上述切换指示信息激活为第一小区配置的BWP2,终端切换到SIM卡2,在第二小区上与RAN2的网络设备进行通信。如图8所示,在T1时刻之前,BWP1被激活,T1时刻~T2时刻期间,为第一小区配置的BWP2被激活,终端在第二小区上与RAN2的网络设备进行通信,例如,接收RAN2的网络设备的寻呼(paging)。在T1时刻之后,BWP1被激活。
第二种方式中,通过BWP激活模式来指示终端从SIM卡1对应的第一小区切换到SIM卡2对应的第二小区上进行通信。BWP激活模式可以指示为第一小区配置的BWP在哪些时间单元上被激活,还可以指示为第二小区配置的BWP在哪些时间单元上被激活。
一个时间单元上,可以有一个激活的BWP。在某个时间单元上,若为第一小区配置的BWP被激活,终端则在第一小区上与RAN1的网络设备进行通信;若为第二小区配置的BWP被激活,终端则在第二小区上与RAN2的网络设备进行通信。
在步骤703中,切换指示信息指示了一个BWP激活模式,在该BWP激活模式中,第二小区在一个或多个时间单元上被激活。示例的,切换信息指示了BWP的时分复用(time division multiplexing,TDM)模式(pattern)。参考图9,TDM pattern指示周期内第一小区和第二小区上的BWP的激活状态。例如,‘1’表示BWP被激活,‘0’表示BWP去激活,或者,‘0’表示BWP被激活,‘1’表示BWP去激活。
具体实现中,可以用比特序列表示小区的BWP激活模式。假设一个比特序列对应一个时间单元,以4个时隙(slot)为例。切换指示信息包括0011,用于指示第一小区的BWP激活模式。参考图9,在第三个时隙和第四个时隙上,为第一小区配置的BWP被激活,终端在第一小区上与RAN1的网络设备进行通信。
当终端支持Q个SIM卡,SIM卡1、SIM卡2…SIM Q对应的小区依次为小区1、小区2…小区Q。切换指示信息可以指示Q个小区的BWP激活模式,例如,切换指示信息可以包括Q-1个比特序列,这Q-1个比特序列指示了Q-1个小区的BWP激活模式。可以对其他小区的比特序列取反获得最后一个小区的比特序列,从而确定该最后一个小区的BWP激活模式。
示例的,参考表1,终端支持SIM卡1、SIM卡2,SIM卡1对应的小区为第一小区,SIM卡2对应的小区为第二小区。表1示出了第一小区、第二小区在5个时间单元上的激活模式。具体地,第一小区对应的比特序列为“11011”,对“11011”取反可以得到第二小区的比特序列为“00100”。即在第一个时间单元、第二个时间单元、第四个时间单元以及第五个时间单元上,为第一小区配置的BWP被激活;在第三个时间单元上为第三小区配置的BWP被激活。
表1
小区 TDM pattern
第一小区 11011
第二小区 00100
需要说明的是,TDM pattern可以指示的是某个小区上是否有激活的BWP(上述常规BWP),可以根据BWP激活机制指示具体激活的是哪个BWP。例如,网络设备通过RRC消息中的(firstActiveBWP)指示小区上第一个激活的BWP,后续还可以通过RRC配置、DCI、BWP定时器、MAC层的控制进行BWP的切换。
第三种方式中,网络侧可以通过控制终端在不同SIM卡上的收发参数(例如,接收参数或发送参数),指示终端在不同SIM卡对应的小区上进行通信。
在步骤703中,切换指示信息可以包括终端在第一小区上的收发参数,终端可以根据终端在第一小区上的收发参数确定终端在第一小区上的收发能力,对比第一小区 上的收发参数和终端支持的最大收发能力,确定在第一小区上进行通信,或者,在第一小区和第二小区上进行通信。
如图2c所示,终端的SIM卡1和SIM卡2共享2Tx,即终端的两个发送通道是SIM卡1和SIM卡2和共享的。终端可以在步骤703之前向第一网络设备上报所述终端支持的最大收发能力和所述终端在SIM卡1上的收发共享能力。例如,终端在SIM卡1对应的第一小区上通信时支持2Tx,且其中1Tx是与其他系统共享的。即终端仅使用SIM卡1时,在第一小区上最大可以通过两个发送通道发送数据;终端使用SIM卡1和SIM卡2时,在第一小区上通过一个发送通道发送数据,在第二小区上通过另一个发送通道发送数据。
终端向第一网络设备上报的参数可以为“MaxNumberTx:2,SharedNumberTx:1”,其中,“MaxNumberTx:2”表示终端在SIM卡1对应的第一小区上通信时支持2Tx,“SharedNumberTx:1”表示终端支持与其他系统共享1Tx。
可选的,终端还可以上报其他能力参数来隐式表示终端在第一小区上的收发能力。例如,终端可以上报指示多输入多输出(multi-input multi-output,MIMO)层数的参数,可以是如下两个参数中的一个或多个:MaxNumberMIMO-LayersCB-PUSCH参数、maxNumberMIMO-LayersNonCB-PUSCH参数,这两个参数可以指示PUSCH支持的最大MIMO层数。例如,这两个参数为“2”,表示终端在第一小区上最大支持2Tx发送。
第一网络设备根据终端上报的参数确定终端在第一小区上的收发能力之后,还可以通过切换指示信息向终端指示第一小区上的收发参数。
具体实现中,第一网络设备还可以通过BWP配置参数携带第一小区上的收发参数,即上述切换指示信息可以是BWP配置参数。具体的,上行BWP的配置参数中有如下参数与上行发射天线个数有关:PUSCH-Config IE中的txConfig、codebookSubset、maxRank参数,或PUSCH-ServingCellConfigIE中的maxMIMO-Layers参数。第一网络设备可以通过这些参数指示终端在第一小区上的发送参数,例如,终端在第一小区上支持2Tx,即终端在第一小区上最大支持使用2个发送通道发送数据。
下行BWP的配置参数中有如下参数与下行接收天线个数有关:PDSCH-Config IE中的maxNrofCodeWordsScheduledByDCI参数。第一网络设备可以通过这些参数指示终端在第一小区上的接收参数,例如,终端在第一小区上支持2Rx,即终端在第一小区上最大支持使用2个接收通道接收数据。
示例的,参考图10,BWP1的配置参数中与发射天线个数有关的参数指示终端支持2Tx发送;BWP2的配置参数中与接收天线个数有关的参数指示终端仅支持1Tx发送。当从BWP1切换到BWP2时,即图10所示的T3时刻~T4时刻,终端可以支持在SIM卡1、SIM卡2上都进行数据发送,即终端在T3时刻~T4时刻,在第一小区与RAN1的网络设备进行通信,同时还可以在第二小区上与RAN2的网络设备进行通信。可见本申请实施例提供的方法,充分利用了终端的能力,提高了系统性能。
可选的,该切换指示信息还可以包括第二时长ΔT2,即终端被允许在第二小区进行通信的时长。第二时长可以认为是终端切换至SIM卡2后,利用SIM卡2进行通信的时长。需要说明的是,本申请实施例对第二时长ΔT2不作限定,例如,第二时长ΔT2 可以大于第一时长ΔT1,也可以小于或等于第一时长ΔT1。
需要说明的是,RAN1的网络设备根据终端通过切换指示信息指示的射频切换持续时长ΔT2与终端请求的ΔT1可以相同,也可以不同,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
704、终端在根据SIM卡2注册的通信系统的第二小区上与RAN2的网络设备进行通信。
具体地,终端可以根据步骤703的切换指示信息,确定可以在第二小区上与RAN2的网络设备进行通信。例如,切换指示信息指示为第一小区配置的特殊BWP被激活,终端则可以在第二小区上与RAN2的网络设备进行通信。或者,切换指示信息指示为第一小区配置的常规BWP未被激活,终端则可以在第二小区上与RAN2的网络设备进行通信。又或者,切换指示信息指示终端在第一小区上的收发能力小区终端支持的最大收发能力,SIM卡1和SIM卡2可以共享发送通道(或接收通道),终端则可以在第二小区上与RAN2的网络设备进行通信,同时在第一小区上与RAN1的网络设备进行通信。
此外,终端还可以进行射频切换,所谓射频切换指的是切换接收通道和/或发送通道。以图2a所示的终端结构为例,步骤701中,终端的SIM卡1与射频电路连接,使用接收通道接收数据,使用发送通道发送数据。步骤704中,终端的SIM卡2与射频电路连接,使用接收通道接收数据,使用发送通道发送数据。
以图2b所示的终端结构为例,终端的SIM卡1和SIM卡2有独立的接收通道,SIM卡1和SIM卡2共享同一个发送通道。步骤701中,终端通过射频电路1、天线1组成的接收通道接收数据,通过射频电路1、天线1组成的发送通道发送数据。在步骤704中,终端通过射频电路2、天线2组成的接收通道接收数据,通过射频电路1、天线1组成的发送通道发送数据。
以图2c所示的终端结构为例,终端的SIM卡1和SIM卡2有独立的接收通道,独立的发送通道。步骤701中,终端通过射频电路1、天线1组成的接收通道接收数据,通过射频电路1、天线1组成的发送通道发送数据。在步骤704中,终端通过射频电路2、天线2组成的接收通道接收数据,通过射频电路2、天线2组成的发送通道发送数据。
需要说明的是,终端进行射频切换后可以在第二小区上进行数据的收发,例如,终端为RRC空闲(RRC idle)态时,可以接收RAN2的网络设备发送的寻呼消息。
705、当第二时长ΔT2满足后,终端回到第一小区,与RAN1的网络设备进行通信。
具体实现中,可以通过以下几种方式来控制第二时长ΔT2:
第一、当第二时长ΔT2满足后,RAN1的网络设备向终端发送BWP切换指示,BWP切换指示包括常规BWP的信息。终端接收所述BWP切换指示后,确定为第一小区配置的常规BWP被激活,从特殊BWP切换到常规BWP上。当为第一小区配置的常规BWP被激活,终端可以在第一小区上进行正常通行,因此终端可以进行射频切换,回到第一小区与RAN1的网络设备进行通信。
第二、终端可以根据从RAN1的网络设备获取到的定时器信息,启动定时器。该定时器用于限制终端被允许在第二小区进行通信的时长,当定时器超时,终端进行射 频切换,回到SIM卡1对应的通信系统。
第三、RAN1的网络设备可以向终端指示第二时长ΔT2。例如,可以在向终端发送的BWP切换指示中增加新的指示域,通过该指示域填充的值来指示第二时长ΔT2,第二时长ΔT2时间单位可以是以符号、时隙、子帧等,本申请实施例对比不做限制。
本申请实施例中,网络侧可以通过切换指示信息(即本申请实施例所述的第一信息)控制多SIM卡终端在不同SIM上的发送行为或接收行为,网络侧可以获知终端切换用户识别卡的行为,当终端切换用户识别卡,与SIM卡1对应的通信系统断开连接,SIM卡1的通信系统可以暂停寻呼终端,避免因此造成的资源浪费;SIM卡1的通信系统在调度是也可以暂时忽略该终端,避免因此造成调度数据的不准确。总之,本申请实施例提供的方法可以在一定程度上降低终端切换SIM卡时对通信系统的通信性能造成的影响。
