Background

With the development of 5G technology, more and more terminal devices are provided with a 5GDSDA (Dual SIM Dual Active, dual card dual pass) mode. In DSDA mode, the daughter card VONR (high definition call under Voice over New Radio, 5G) of the terminal device switches to VoLTE (voice over long-term evolution, long term evolution, voice bearer).

Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary examples are not representative of all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the accompanying claims.

DSDA technology means that a terminal device can access two networks simultaneously to complete a service, and can achieve seamless handover between two-way phones. The 5G DSDA can simultaneously maintain the connection state of RRC (Radio Resource Control ) when two SIM cards are in wireless access to the network by multiplexing a set of radio frequency system, so that the 5G DSDA can improve user experience and reduce the blocking rate of service, and can provide more flexible application scenes for terminal equipment.

As described in the background art, after the voice call of the sub-card is ended, the network of the sub-card is switched to the non-5G network, so that the DSDA mode of the terminal device is converted into the DSDS mode. In the related art, the sub card of the terminal device does not actively return to the 5G network, resulting in the terminal device maintaining the DSDS mode. In the DSDS mode, the terminal device cannot realize the function in the DSDA mode, for example, the double incoming call function, so that the probability of the terminal device in the DSDA mode is reduced, and the user cannot use the double card 5G, thereby seriously affecting the user's double card use experience for the terminal device.

In some embodiments, the registration of the secondary card to the second cell by the terminal device according to the system information may be a fast return procedure performed.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, when the first measurement result does not have the target first frequency point, namely when the first measurement result does not meet the reporting requirement, the terminal equipment receives the system information sent by the network equipment, performs fast return (fast fallback), and re-registers the auxiliary card to the second cell, and because the second cell is a cell at the second frequency point of the target network, the second cell is a target network cell, such as a 5G cell. Therefore, when the terminal equipment ends the voice call of the auxiliary card, the non-target network where the auxiliary card resides can be quickly converted into the target network, and the probability that the terminal equipment is in the DSDA mode is improved.

If the screen includes a touch panel, the screen may be implemented as a touch screen to receive input signals from a user. The touch panel includes one or more touch sensors to sense touches, swipes, and gestures on the touch panel. The touch sensor may sense not only the boundary of a touch or slide action, but also the duration and pressure associated with the touch or slide operation. In some embodiments, the multimedia component 608 includes a front camera and/or a rear camera. The front camera and/or the rear camera may receive external multimedia data when the apparatus 600 is in an operational mode, such as a photographing mode or a video mode. Each front camera and rear camera may be a fixed optical lens system or have focal length and optical zoom capabilities.

The audio component 610 is configured to output and/or input audio signals. For example, the audio component 610 includes a Microphone (MIC) configured to receive external audio signals when the apparatus 600 is in an operational mode, such as a call mode, a recording mode, and a voice recognition mode. The received audio signals may be further stored in the memory 604 or transmitted via the communication component 616. In some embodiments, audio component 610 further includes a speaker for outputting audio signals.

The input/output interface 612 provides an interface between the processing component 602 and peripheral interface modules, which may be a keyboard, click wheel, buttons, etc. These buttons may include, but are not limited to: homepage button, volume button, start button, and lock button.

The sensor assembly 614 includes one or more sensors for providing status assessment of various aspects of the apparatus 600. For example, the sensor assembly 614 may detect the open/closed state of the device 600, the relative positioning of the components, such as the display and keypad of the device 600, the sensor assembly 614 may also detect a change in position of the device 600 or a component of the device 600, the presence or absence of user contact with the device 600, the orientation or acceleration/deceleration of the device 600, and a change in temperature of the device 600. The sensor assembly 614 may include a proximity sensor configured to detect the presence of nearby objects in the absence of any physical contact. The sensor assembly 614 may also include a light sensor, such as a CMOS or CCD image sensor, for use in imaging applications. In some embodiments, the sensor assembly 614 may also include an acceleration sensor, a gyroscopic sensor, a magnetic sensor, a pressure sensor, or a temperature sensor.

The communication component 616 is configured to facilitate communication between the apparatus 600 and other devices in a wired or wireless manner. The device 600 may access a wireless network based on a communication standard, such as WiFi,4G or 5G, or a combination thereof. In one exemplary embodiment, the communication component 616 receives broadcast signals or broadcast-related information from an external broadcast management system via a broadcast channel. In one exemplary embodiment, the communication component 616 further includes a Near Field Communication (NFC) module to facilitate short range communications. For example, the NFC module may be implemented based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, infrared data association (IrDA) technology, ultra Wideband (UWB) technology, bluetooth (BT) technology, and other technologies.
