Paging collision processing method and related apparatus

A paging collision processing method comprising:

• receiving, by a first network device, first information of a terminal device, wherein the first information comprises a first paging parameter;
• sending, by the first network device, second information, wherein the second information comprises a second paging parameter, which is determined based on the first paging parameter, and is used to determine a second paging occasion of a first identity module card of the terminal device in a first camped cell,
• wherein the second paging occasion does not overlap a third paging occasion of a second identity module card of the terminal device in a second camped cell in terms of time;
• and
• sending, by the first network device, a paging message on the second paging occasion.

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory memory coupled to the processor and having computer-executable instructions stored thereon, which are executed by the processor and cause the apparatus to implement a paging collision processing method comprising:
• sending first information to a network device, wherein the first information comprises a first paging parameter;
• receiving second information from the network device, wherein the second information comprises a second paging parameter, which is determined based on the first paging parameter, and is used to determine a second paging occasion of a first identity module card of the apparatus in a first camped cell,
• wherein the second paging occasion does not overlap a third paging occasion of a second identity module card of the apparatus in a second camped cell in terms of time;
• and
• monitoring, a paging message in the first camped cell on the second paging occasion.
