Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. According to various embodiments of the present invention, provided are a method and a device for performing a paging operation in a plurality of SIMs in a next generation mobile communication system.

Claims (30)

1 . A method performed by a terminal supporting a multi subscriber identity module (multi-SIM) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a first base station corresponding to a first SIM of the multi-SIM, a radio resource control (RRC) message including configuration information to report information for releasing an RRC connected mode;

receiving, from a second base station corresponding to a second SIM of the multi-SIM, a paging message including a paging record with a paging cause, wherein the paging cause indicates that the paging message is related to a voice service; and

transmitting, to the first base station, a user equipment (UE) assistance information message including preference information on a preferred RRC state.

2 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the preference information indicates one of an idle, an inactive, and an out of connected.

3 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the paging record with the paging cause is included in a paging record list, the paging record list being included in the paging message.

4 . A method performed by a first base station corresponding to a first subscriber identity module (SIM) of a multi-SIM in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a terminal, capability information associated with the multi-SIM;

transmitting, to the terminal supporting the multi-SIM, a radio resource control (RRC) message including configuration information to report information for releasing an RRC connected mode; and

receiving, from the terminal, a user equipment (UE) assistance information message including preference information on a preferred RRC state.

5 . A terminal supporting a multi-subscriber identity module (multi-SIM) in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor configured to:

receive, from a first base station corresponding to a first SIM of the multi-SIM, a radio resource control (RRC) message including configuration information to report information for releasing an RRC connected mode,

receive, from a second base station corresponding to a second SIM of the multi-SIM via the transceiver, a paging message including a paging record with a paging cause, wherein the paging cause indicates that the paging message is related to a voice service, and

transmit, to the first base station via the transceiver, a user equipment (UE) assistance information message including preference information on a preferred RRC state.

6 . The terminal of claim 5 ,

wherein the preference information indicates one of an idle, an inactive, and an out of connected.

7 . The terminal of claim 5 ,

wherein the paging record with the paging cause is included in a paging record list, the paging record list being included in the paging message.

8 . A first base station corresponding to a first subscriber identity module (SIM) of a multi-SIM in a wireless communication system, the first base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor configured to:

receive, from a terminal via the transceiver, capability information associated with the multi-SIM,

transmit, to the terminal supporting the multi-SIM via the transceiver, a radio resource control (RRC) message including configuration information to report information for releasing an RRC connected mode, and

receive, from the terminal via the transceiver, a user equipment (UE) assistance information message including preference information on a preferred RRC state.

9 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the preference information indicates one of an idle, an inactive, and an out of connected.

10 . The first base station of claim 8 , wherein the preference information indicates one of an idle, an inactive, and an out of connected.
