Abstract

Claims (50)

1 . A communication method, performed by a multi-card terminal device, comprising:

receiving Minimization of Drive-Test (MDT) configuration information for the multi-card terminal device sent by a first network device; and

in response to the multi-card terminal device entering an idle state from a connected state, performing MDT measurement based on the MDT configuration information, and storing obtained MDT measurement information;

wherein the MDT configuration information comprises at least one of:

an item for MDT measurement, wherein the item comprises at least one of paging collision, paging unresponsiveness, or an unresponsive service type;

an event type that triggers storage of MDT, wherein the event type comprises at least one of paging collision, paging unresponsiveness, or an unresponsive service type;

information to be measured, wherein the information to be measured comprises at least one of a radio access type, frequency, or a cell; or

measurement time, wherein the measurement time comprises at least one of a measurement start time, a measurement end time, a measurement duration, or a measurement time interval.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

sending the MDT measurement information stored in the idle state to a second network device.

3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

receiving communication configuration information sent based on the received MDT measurement information by the second network device; and

performing communication based on the communication configuration information.

4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein sending the MDT measurement information stored in the idle state to the second network device comprises at least one of:

sending first information to the second network device, wherein the first information is configured to indicate that the multi-card terminal device has the MDT measurement information stored thereon in the idle state;

receiving report indication information sent by the second network device for the stored MDT measurement information; and

sending part of or all measurement information of the MDT measurement information stored in the idle state to the second network device based on the report indication information;

or,

in response to the multi-card terminal device entering the connected state from the idle state, sending the MDT measurement information stored in the idle state to the second network device.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein sending the first information to the second network device comprises:

sending the first information to the second network device via a Radio Resource Control RRC signaling.

6 . The method of claim 2 , wherein sending the MDT measurement information stored in the idle state to the second network device comprises:

sending the MDT measurement information stored in the idle state to the second network device via a UEInformationResponse signaling.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the MDT configuration information comprises MDT configuration information corresponding to at least one Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the MDT configuration information is sent by the first network device via a LoggedMeasurementConfiguration signaling.

9 . A communication method, performed by a network device, comprising:

sending Minimization of Drive-Test (MDT) configuration information for a multi-card terminal device to the multi-card terminal device, wherein the MDT configuration information is used by the multi-card terminal device, in response to the multi-card terminal device entering an idle state from a connected state, to perform MDT measurement and store obtained MDT measurement information;

wherein the MDT configuration information comprises at least one of:

an item for MDT measurement, wherein the item comprises at least one of paging collision, paging unresponsiveness, or an unresponsive service type;

an event type that triggers storage of MDT, wherein the event type comprises at least one of paging collision, paging unresponsiveness, or an unresponsive service type;

information to be measured, wherein the information to be measured comprises at least one of a radio access type, frequency, or a cell; or

measurement time, wherein the measurement time comprises at least one of a measurement start time, a measurement end time, a measurement duration, or a measurement time interval.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the MDT configuration information comprises MDT configuration information corresponding to at least one SIM card.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein sending the MDT configuration information for the multi-card terminal device to the multi-card terminal device, comprises:

sending the MDT configuration information for the multi-card terminal device to the multi-card terminal device via a LoggedMeasurementConfiguration signaling.

12 . A communication method, performed by a network device, comprising:

receiving Minimization of Drive-Test (MDT) measurement information sent by a multi-card terminal device and stored in an idle state;

wherein the MDT configuration information comprises at least one of:

an item for MDT measurement, wherein the item comprises at least one of paging collision, paging unresponsiveness, or an unresponsive service type;

an event type that triggers storage of MDT, wherein the event type comprises at least one of paging collision, paging unresponsiveness, or an unresponsive service type;

information to be measured, wherein the information to be measured comprises at least one of a radio access type, frequency, or a cell; or

measurement time, wherein the measurement time comprises at least one of a measurement start time, a measurement end time, a measurement duration, or a measurement time interval.

13 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

sending communication configuration information to the multi-card terminal device based on the MDT measurement information, for the multi-card terminal device to perform communication based on the communication configuration information.

14 . The method of claim 12 , wherein receiving the MDT measurement information stored in the idle state sent by the multi-card terminal device comprises:

receiving first information sent by the multi-card terminal device, wherein the first information is configured to indicate that the multi-card terminal device has the MDT measurement information stored thereon in the idle state; and

sending report indication information for the stored MDT measurement information to the multi-card terminal device, for a multi-card user to send, based on the report indication information, some or all measurement information of the MDT measurement information stored in the idle state.

15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein sending the report indication information for the stored MDT measurement information to the multi-card terminal device comprises:

sending the report indication information for the stored MDT measurement information to the multi-card terminal device via a UEInformationRequest signaling.

16 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the MDT measurement information stored in the idle state is sent by the multi-card terminal device in response to the multi-card device entering a connected state from the idle state.
