GAP REQUEST METHOD AND APPARATUS, REQUEST RECEIVING METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240349036 titled 'GAP REQUEST METHOD AND APPARATUS, REQUEST RECEIVING METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND STORAGE MEDIUM
The present disclosure describes a method for requesting a network side device to configure a gap for performing multi-SIM card connection switching for a terminal.
- The method involves sending a request to the network side device to configure the gap for the terminal.
- The configured gap allows the terminal to switch between SIM cards for communication.
- During the gap, one SIM card stops communicating with the network side device while the other SIM card takes over for communication.
- This innovation enables seamless multi-SIM card connection switching for the terminal.
Potential Applications:
- Mobile devices with multiple SIM card slots.
- IoT devices that require switching between different network connections.
Problems Solved:
- Simplifies the process of switching between multiple SIM cards.
- Ensures uninterrupted communication during SIM card switching.
Benefits:
- Improved efficiency in managing multiple SIM cards.
- Enhanced connectivity for devices with dual SIM capabilities.
Commercial Applications:
- Mobile phone manufacturers.
- IoT device manufacturers.
- Telecommunication companies.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve user experience when using devices with multiple SIM cards? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology on a large scale?
Frequently Updated Research: Research on optimizing the gap configuration for faster SIM card switching.
Original Abstract Submitted
the present disclosure relates to a gap request method. the method can include sending a request to a network side device, so as to request that the network side device configures, for a terminal, a gap for performing multi-sim card connection switching. according to the present disclosure, a terminal may send a request to a network side device, so as to request that the network side device configures, for the terminal, a gap for performing multi-sim card connection switching, such that when subsequently performing multi-sim card connection switching, the terminal may perform multi-sim card connection switching on the basis of the configured gap, for example, during the gap, a first sim card stops communicating with the network side device, and is switched to a second sim card for communication.
