Cell reselection methods and apparatuses
A method is applicable to a terminal supporting a plurality of subscriber identification module (SIM) cards. The method includes that the terminal performs a cell reselection through a first SIM card among a plurality of SIM cards to obtain a cell reselection result. Additionally, the terminal sends the cell reselection result from the first SIM card to a second SIM card among the plurality of SIM cards. Furthermore, the terminal takes a cell indicated by the cell reselection result as a new cell in which the second SIM card is to reside.
1. A cell reselection method, comprising:
performing, by a terminal supporting a plurality of subscriber identification module (SIM) cards, a cell reselection through a first SIM card among the plurality of SIM cards to obtain a cell reselection result, wherein the first SIM card and a second SIM card belong to one operator and are both idle, and wherein the first SIM card is a SIM card which belongs to a preset SIM card among the plurality of SIM cards; and
the second SIM card is at least one SIM card that does not belong to the preset SIM card among the plurality of SIM cards;
sending a notification message that the first SIM card is undergoing the cell reselection to the second SIM card;
keeping, based on the notification message, the second SIM card to wait for the cell reselection result sent from the first SIM card;
sending, by the terminal, the cell reselection result from the first SIM card to a second SIM card among the plurality of SIM cards; and
taking, by the terminal, a cell indicated by the cell reselection result as a new cell in which the second SIM card is to reside;
wherein the first SIM card belonging to the preset SIM card is determined among the plurality of SIM cards, which comprises:
outputting an identifier list comprising SIM card identifiers corresponding respectively to the plurality of SIM cards; and
taking a SIM card, which is indicated by the SIM card identifier selected by a user from the identifier list, as the first SIM card belonging to the preset SIM card.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first SIM card belonging to the preset SIM card is determined among the plurality of SIM cards, which comprises:
taking a SIM card among the plurality of SIM cards, which is set in a pre-designated card slot, as the first SIM card belonging to the preset SIM card.
3. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored, wherein the computer program is configured to execute the cell reselection method according to claim 1 .
4. A cell reselection apparatus, being applicable to a terminal supporting a plurality of subscriber identification module (SIM) cards, comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory for storing instructions executable by the one or more processors;
wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
perform a cell reselection through a first SIM card among the plurality of SIM cards to obtain a cell reselection result, wherein the first SIM card and a second SIM card belong to one operator and are both idle, and wherein the first SIM card is a SIM card which belongs to a preset SIM card among the plurality of SIM cards; and
the second SIM card is at least one SIM card that does not belong to the preset SIM card among the plurality of SIM cards;
send a notification message that the first SIM card is undergoing the cell reselection to the second SIM card;
keep, based on the notification message, the second SIM card to wait for the cell reselection result sent from the first SIM card;
send the cell reselection result from the first SIM card to a second SIM card among the plurality of SIM cards; and take a cell indicated by the cell reselection result as a new cell in which the second SIM card is to reside;
wherein the one or more processors are further configured to determine the first SIM card belonging to the preset SIM card range among the plurality of SIM cards, which comprises that the one or more processors are configured to:
output an identifier list comprising SIM card identifiers corresponding respectively to the plurality of SIM cards; and
take a SIM card, which is indicated by the SIM card identifier selected by a user from the identifier list, as the first SIM card belonging to the preset SIM card.
5. The apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to determine the first SIM card belonging to the preset SIM card range among the plurality of SIM cards, which comprises that the one or more processors are configured to:
take a SIM card among the plurality of SIM cards, which is set in a pre-designated card slot, as the first SIM card belonging to the preset SIM card.
