5. The communication method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
notifying the first operator network that the multi-card UE initiating the registration is a multi-card terminal, during the registration of the multi-card UE with the first operator network using the first USIM.
6. Multi-card user equipment (UE), comprising:
a processor; and
a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;
wherein the processor is configured to:
register with a first operator network by the multi-card UE using a first Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM);
in response to receiving a request for obtaining information about a USIM belonging to a non-first operator network used by the multi-card UE, feedback, by the multi-card UE, the information about the USIM belonging to the non-first operator network to the first operator network, wherein the request is initiated by the first operator network; and
receive, by the multi-card UE, configuration information for the non-first operator network sent by the first operator network, wherein the configuration information is configured by the first operator network for the multi-card UE based on the information about the USIM belonging to the non-first operator network; and listen for, by the multi-card UE, the non-first operator network according to the received configuration information; wherein
the configuration information for the non-first operator network comprises at least one of following:
time information of listening for paging belonging to the non-first operator network, measurement time information of listening for the USIM belonging to the non-first operator network, or a reading time of listening for a system message belonging to the non-first operator network.
7. The multi-card UE according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
notify the first operator network that the multi-card UE initiating the registration is a multi-card terminal, during the registration of the multi-card UE with the first operator network using the first USIM.
8. The multi-card UE according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is specifically configured to:
send a registration request signaling to the first operator network during the registration, to notify the first operator network that the multi-card UE initiating the registration is the multi-card terminal.
9. The multi-card UE according to claim 6 , wherein the information about the USIM belonging to the non-first operator network used by the multi-card UE comprises International Mobile Subscriber Identity number (IMSI) of the multi-card UE.
10. A communication method for an operator network device, comprising:
after a registration with the operator network device by user equipment (UE) is completed, in response to the operator network device determining that the UE is a multi-card terminal, requesting, by the operator network device to the UE, obtaining information about a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) belonging to another operator network used by the UE, the another operator network is an operator network other than the operator network device; and
receiving, by the operator network device, the information about the USIM belonging to the another operator network used by the UE, which is fed back by the UE; calculating, based on the received information about the USIM, configuration information for the another operator network, and sending the configuration information to the UE; and notifying the UE to listen for the another operator network according to the configuration information; wherein
the configuration information for the another operator network comprises at least one of following:
time information of listening for paging belonging to the another operator network, measurement time information of listening for the USIM belonging to the another operator network, or a reading time of listening for a system message belonging to the another operator network.
11. The communication method according to claim 10 , wherein the operator network device determining that the UE is the multi-card terminal comprises:
receiving, by the operator network device, a notification sent by the UE that the UE is a multi-card terminal during the registration, and determining, by the operator network device, that the UE is the multi-card terminal according to the notification.
