In other embodiments of the present application, the electronic device 100 may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or split certain components, or arrange different components. The illustrated components can be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

The processor 110 may include one or more processing units. For example, the processor 110 may include an application processor (AP), a modem processor, a graphics processing unit (GPU), and an image signal processor. (image signal processor, ISP), controller, video codec, digital signal processor (digital signal processor, DSP), baseband processor, and/or neural-network processing unit (NPU), etc. Among them, different processing units may be independent components, or may be integrated in one or more processors. In some embodiments, the electronic device 101 may also include one or more processors 110. Among them, the controller can generate operation control signals according to the instruction operation code and timing signals to complete the control of fetching instructions and executing instructions. In some other embodiments, a memory may be provided in the processor 110 to store instructions and data. Exemplarily, the memory in the processor 110 may be a cache memory. The memory can store instructions or data that have just been used or recycled by the processor 110. If the processor 110 needs to use the instruction or data again, it can be directly called from the memory. In this way, repeated accesses are avoided, the waiting time of the processor 110 is reduced, and the efficiency of the electronic device 101 in processing data or executing instructions is improved.

For example, when the temperature reported by the temperature sensor exceeds a threshold value, the electronic device performs a reduction in the performance of a processor located near the temperature sensor, so as to reduce power consumption and implement thermal protection. In other embodiments, when the temperature is lower than another threshold, the electronic device heats the battery 200B to avoid abnormal shutdown of the electronic device due to low temperature.

Step 402: The first protocol stack notifies the second protocol stack that the second SIM card has an incoming call, and the second protocol stack is the protocol stack of the second SIM card.

Step 403: The second protocol stack performs a first radio frequency switching operation, and the first radio frequency switching operation is used to switch the mobile radio frequency module from the communication connection with the first SIM card to the communication connection with the second SIM card .

Among them, the first SIM card is the main SIM card, and the second SIM card is the secondary SIM card; or, the first SIM card is the secondary SIM card, and the second SIM card is the main SIM card.

Wherein, the second protocol stack performing the first radio frequency switching operation includes: the second protocol stack notifies the processor to perform the radio frequency switching operation through the modem, so that the processor connects to the second SIM card through the electronic switch, and disconnects from the second SIM card through the electronic switch. The connection of a SIM card can switch the mobile radio frequency module from the communication connection with the first SIM card to the communication connection with the second SIM card.

In an implementation manner of the present application, the operators of the first SIM card and the second SIM card are the same.

Wherein, the first SIM card and the second SIM card belong to the same cell.

In an implementation manner of the present application, the first protocol stack supports one of 5G NR protocol, LTE protocol, WSDMA protocol, TD-SCDMA protocol, CDMA protocol, and GSM;

The second protocol stack supports one of 5G NR protocol, LTE protocol, WSDMA protocol, TD-SCDMA protocol, CDMA protocol, and GSM.

In an implementation manner of the present application, before the first protocol stack receives the paging message of the second SIM card, the method further includes:

The second protocol stack notifies the first protocol stack of the temporary mobile subscriber identity (Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity, TMSI) of the second SIM card;

The first protocol stack receiving the paging message of the second SIM card includes: the first protocol stack monitors the paging based on the TMSI of the first SIM card and the TMSI of the second SIM card to receive Paging message to the second SIM card.

Optionally, both the first SIM card and the second SIM card are in an idle state.

Among them, the states of the first SIM card and the second SIM card are recognized by the modem. The specific identification methods are as follows: the modem reads the value of the first state variable associated with the first SIM card and the value of the second state variable associated with the second SIM card; if the value of the first state variable is the set value, it determines the value of the first SIM card The state is connected. If the value of the first state variable is not the set value, it is determined that the state of the first SIM card is idle; if the value of the second state variable is the set value, the state of the second SIM card is determined to be connected If the value of the second state variable is not the set value, it is determined that the state of the second SIM card is the idle state.

Among them, in the LTE protocol, the logical channel (paging control channel, PCCH), the transmission channel (paging channel, PCH) and the physical downlink link shared channel (PDSCH) carrying paging messages are defined, and the paging message It is carried by the PCCH, and the data blocks of the PCH are carried by the PDSCH channel. Since the PDSCH is a downlink shared physical channel, in addition to carrying the PCH, it can also carry the downlink shared channel (DL-SCH) Therefore, before receiving the paging message, the electronic device needs to monitor the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) to determine whether the paging message is sent to itself. In a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, the electronic device can only receive the PDCCH at the time position where the paging moment appears, and then receive the PDSCH as needed, and sleep at other times to achieve power saving Purpose.

Among them, the paging occasion includes the paging frame and the paging moment. In the LTE physical layer protocol, the repetition period of the frame number of the radio frame is 1024, so the value range of each radio frame is 0-1023, and each radio frame It is divided into 10 subframes. The value range of the subframes is 0-9. The electronic device needs to calculate the paging frame in the monitored PDCCH first, and then calculate the paging moment on the paging frame to be accurate Know the specific location of the monitored PDCCH.

Among them, PF=SFN mod T=(T div N)*(UE_ID mod N), PF is the paging frame, SFN is the system frame number (that is, the frame number of the current electronic device), T=min(T1, T2), T1 is the paging cycle set by the core network, and T2 is the paging cycle set by the wireless side (ie, wireless access network, such as base station, etc.). Generally, the paging cycle set by the wireless side is less than the paging cycle set by the core network, so T is equal to the paging cycle set by the wireless side by default. The paging cycle set by the wireless side is read from the system message 2 (SIB2), and T1 is obtained from the paging message of the system message 1 (SIB1). N=min(T, nB), nB is read from SIB2, UE_ID is included in the paging message of SIB1, and is calculated by the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) modulo 1024.

The paging moment is the subframe number corresponding to the position of the paging frame, and the moment is determined by the correspondence relationship between Ns and i-s, Ns=max(1, nB/T). i_s=floor(UE_ID/N) mod Ns. The corresponding relationship is shown in Table 1 and Table 2. Table 1 is the corresponding relationship of the FDD mode, and Table 2 is the corresponding relationship of the TDD mode.
