Abstract

A wireless communication method includes sending indication information to at least one target network side device. The target network side device is a network side device that has established an RRC with the terminal device or that is establishing or resuming an RRC connection with the terminal device, and the indication information is used to indicate that the terminal device does not expect to receive a dual connectivity configuration, and/or the indication information is used to indicate a carrier that the terminal device does not expect to configure.

Claims (26)

1. A wireless communication method, applied to a terminal device equipped with multiple subscriber identity module (SIM) cards, wherein the method comprises:

determining that all downlink receiving channels of the terminal device have downlink receptions; and

sending indication information to at least one target network side device, in response to a determination that all downlink receiving channels of the terminal device have downlink receptions;

wherein the target network side device is a network side device corresponding to one of the multiple SIM cards, the target network side device has established a radio resource control (RRC) connection with the terminal device, or is establishing or resuming an RRC connection with the terminal device, and the indication information is used to indicate that the terminal device does not expect to receive a dual connectivity (DC) configuration, and/or a carrier that the terminal device does not expect to configure.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sending indication information to at least one target network side device comprises:

sending the indication information to a network side device corresponding to any SIM card; wherein

the network side device corresponding to any SIM card is a network side device that has established an RRC connection with the SIM card or a network side device that is establishing or resuming an RRC connection with the SIM card.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sending indication information to at least one target network side device comprises:

in a case where at least one first SIM card of the terminal device has established an RRC connection with the target network side device or is establishing or resuming an RRC connection with the target network side device, and at least one second SIM card of the terminal device is in an idle state, sending the indication information to at least one target network side device corresponding to the at least one first SIM card.

4. A terminal device equipped with multiple subscriber identity module (SIM) cards, comprising: a processor, a memory, and a computer program that is stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the computer program, when executed by the processor, causes the terminal device to perform:

determining that all downlink receiving channels of the terminal device have downlink receptions; and

sending indication information to at least one target network side device, in response to a determination that all downlink receiving channels of the terminal device have downlink receptions; wherein

the target network side device is a network side device corresponding to one of the multiple SIM cards, and the target network side device has established a radio resource control (RRC) connection with the terminal device or is establishing or resuming an RRC connection with the terminal device; and

the indication information is used to indicate that the terminal device does not expect to receive a dual connectivity (DC) configuration, and/or a carrier that the terminal device does not expect to configure.

5. The terminal device according to claim 4 , wherein the computer program, when executed by the processor, causes the terminal device to perform:

sending the indication information to a network side device corresponding to any SIM card; wherein

the network side device corresponding to any SIM card is a network side device that has established an RRC connection with the SIM card or a network side device that is establishing or resuming an RRC connection with the SIM card.

6. The terminal device according to claim 4 , wherein the sending indication information to at least one target network side device comprises:

in a case where at least one first SIM card of the terminal device has established an RRC connection with the target network side device or is establishing or resuming an RRC connection with the target network side device, and at least one second SIM card of the terminal device is in an idle state, sending the indication information to at least one target network side device corresponding to the at least one first SIM card.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program, and the computer program, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform steps of the wireless communication method according to claim 1 .

8. A wireless communication method, applied to a network side device, wherein the method comprises:

receiving indication information sent by a terminal device equipped with multiple subscriber identity module (SIM) cards, wherein the indication information is used to indicate that the terminal device does not expect to receive a dual connectivity (DC) configuration and/or a carrier that the terminal device does not expect to configure; and the network side device is a network side device corresponding to one of the multiple SIM cards, and the network side device has established a radio resource control (RRC) connection with the terminal device or is establishing or resuming an RRC connection with the terminal device; and

in response to that the indication information is used to indicate that the terminal device does not expect to receive a DC configuration, skipping configuring DC for the terminal device in a case where a first condition is satisfied and a second condition is not satisfied; wherein the first condition is a condition under which the network side device configures DC for the terminal device in a case where the indication information is not received; and/or

in response to that the indication information is used to indicate a carrier that the terminal device does not expect to configure, skipping configuring the indicated carrier for the terminal device in a case where a third condition is satisfied and a fourth condition is not satisfied; wherein the third condition is a condition under which the network side device configures the carrier indicated by the identifier for the terminal device in a case where the indication information is not received.

9. A network side device equipped with multiple subscriber identity module (SIM) cards, comprising: a processor, a memory, and a computer program that is stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the computer program, when executed by the processor, causes the network side device to perform the step of the wireless communication method according to claim 8 .

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program, and the computer program, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform the step of the wireless communication method according to claim 8 .
