Abstract

The present disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for sending information, and storage media. The method for sending information includes: in response to determining that a first SIM is in service communication and receiving a paging message for paging a second SIM in an inactive state sent by a target base station through paging signaling, determining whether to perform a paging response, where the target base station is a base station covering an area where the second SIM is currently located; and in response to determining not to perform a paging response, sending target indication information to the target base station by the second SIM, where the target indication information is for informing a network side that the second SIM has received the paging message, but does not perform a paging response.

Claims (27)

1 . A method for sending information, performed by a multi-subscriber identity module (SIM) wireless terminal, the method comprising:

determining that a first SIM is in service communication;

determining that a second SIM is in an inactive state;

receiving a paging message for paging a second SIM in an inactive state sent by a target base station through paging signaling, wherein the target base station is a base station covering an area where the second SIM is currently located;

determining not to perform a paging response; and

in response to determining not to perform a paging response, sending target indication information to the target base station by the second SIM; wherein the target indication information is for informing a core network device through an anchor base station that the second SIM has received the paging message, but does not perform a paging response,

wherein sending the target indication information to the target base station by the second SIM comprises:

sending the target indication information to the target base station by the second SIM through first radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein sending the target indication information to the target base station by the second SIM through the first RRC signaling comprises:

after adding the target indication information to an original first information unit or a newly added second information unit of the first RRC signaling by the second SIM, sending the first RRC signaling added with the target indication information to the target base station by the second SIM.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein sending the target indication information to the target base station by the second SIM comprises:

sending the target indication information to the target base station by the second SIM through second radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein sending the target indication information to the target base station by the second SIM through the second RRC signaling comprises:

after adding the target indication information to an original third information unit or a newly added fourth information unit of the second RRC signaling by the second SIM, sending the second RRC signaling added with the target indication information to the target base station by the second SIM.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the target indication information comprises one of one or more reserved preambles;

wherein sending the target indication information to the target base station by the second SIM comprises:

sending the reserved preamble as the target indication information and identification information of the second SIM to the target base station by the second SIM.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving the one or more reserved preambles configured by the target base station for the second SIM; or

determining the one or more reserved preambles based on predefined settings.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the target indication information is for indicating at least one of:

one or more other SIMs are in service communication on the multi-SIM terminal;

the multi-SIM terminal is performing a service with a higher priority; or the multi-SIM terminal is busy.

8 . An apparatus for sending information, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory configured to store instructions executable by the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to perform the method for sending information according to claim 1 .
