Method for multi-card terminal device cooperative communication and electronic device

A method for multiple-card (multi-card) terminal device communication, performed by a terminal device, the terminal device comprising a first subscriber identity module (SIM)-card set and a second SIM-card set, at least one first SIM-card in the first SIM-card set and at least one second SIM-card in the second SIM-card set having a capability related to cooperative paging and/or cooperative operation, the method comprising:

• transmitting, by the at least one first SIM-card in the first SIM-card set to the at least one second SIM-card in the second SIM-card set, paging-related data corresponding to the at least one second SIM-card in the second SIM-card set in response to reception of the paging-related data;
• wherein the method further comprises:
• receiving, by the terminal device, first indication information transmitted by an access network device or a core network device, wherein the first indication information indicates whether the terminal device is allowed to perform a function of cooperative paging and/or cooperative operation;
• and/or
• determining, by the terminal device, whether the function of cooperative paging and/or cooperative operation is supported, according to capability information of the terminal device.
