The configuration method of the information transmission mode provided by the embodiment of the application is described in detail below by means of specific embodiments and application scenes thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.

An embodiment of the present application provides a method for configuring an information transmission manner, and fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for configuring an information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 2, where steps of the method include:

step S202, a first user terminal UE sends first configuration information to network side equipment;

the first configuration information is used for indicating the first UE to send or receive information in a non-3 GPP transmission mode; the transmission scheme of the non-3 GPP refers to a transmission scheme of transmitting or receiving information through a data connection of the second UE.

As can be seen from the above step S202, the first UE may send the first configuration information to the network side device to inform that the information may be sent or received by adopting a non-3 GPP transmission manner, where the non-3 GPP transmission manner refers to a transmission manner of sending or receiving information through a data connection of the second UE, so that when the first UE needs to send or receive information to the network side device, the data connection of the second UE is not interrupted, but the data connection of the second UE is used to send or receive information, thereby solving the problem in the prior art that when the UE in an idle state in the multi-card terminal needs to access the network to send or receive information, the connection of the UE in a connection mode is interrupted.

Alternatively, the first UE and the second UE in the embodiments of the present application may belong to the same multi-card terminal. Further, the first UE may be in an idle state or inactive state, while the second UE is in a connected state. That is, a first UE in an idle state or an inactive state belonging to the same multi-card terminal can transmit or receive information through a second UE data connection in a connected state without breaking the data connection of the second UE in the connected state.

Optionally, the manner in which the first user terminal UE in step S202 in the embodiment of the present application sends the first configuration information to the network side device may further include:

step S202-11, when the first UE has available non-3 GPP communication, the first UE sets the information route indicated by the first configuration information as a transmission mode of non-3 GPP;

step S202-12, the first UE reports the first configuration information through a transmission mode of non-3 GPP or 3 GPP.

It can be seen that, for the first UE, if there is a non-3 GPP communication available, the first configuration information may be reported by a non-3 GPP transmission method to perform configuration, and then the information may be sent or received directly by a non-3 GPP transmission method, or the first configuration information may be reported by a 3GPP transmission method to the network side device. That is, the configuring may be reporting the first configuration information by a transmission manner other than 3GPP or 3 GPP.

For the above steps S202-11 and S202-12, the method steps of the procedure of entering the Non-3GPP information transmission mode in a specific application scenario include:

step S11, the first UE completes the registration process;

step S12, the first UE establishes PDU Session;

step S13, the first UE returns to an idle state or an inactive state;

step S14, the second UE enters a connection mode to establish data connection;

step S15, the first UE determines that the transmission mode is a transmission mode of Non-3GPP (Non-3 GPP);

in step S16, the first UE constructs first information, and sends configuration information, which may be multi-card auxiliary information, to a Non-3GPP interworking function (Non-3GPP Inter Working Function,N3IWF) in the first network through a data connection of the second UE, where the configuration information is used to indicate that the information transmission mode is a Non-3GPP mode, that is, indicates that the network may send or receive Non-Access Stratum (NAS) information or radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) information with the first UE through the N3IWF on an established protocol data unit (Protocol Data Unit, PDU) session.

In step S17, the first UE transmits or receives information in a Non-3GPP manner.

As can be seen from the above steps S11 to S17, the first UE belonging to the same multi-card terminal may send configuration information to the network through the second UE, so as to inform that the information transmission mode is the Non-3GPP transmission mode.

Optionally, after the manner in which the first user terminal UE sends the first configuration information to the network side device in step S202 in the embodiment of the present application, the method in the embodiment of the present application may further include:

in step S204, the first UE sends second configuration information to the network side device, where the second configuration information is used to instruct the first UE to send or receive information in a 3GPP transmission manner.

Further, the manner of sending the second configuration information to the network side device by the first UE in the step S204 may further include:

step S204-11, the first UE sets the information route indicated by the second configuration information as a transmission mode of 3 GPP;

step S204-12, the first UE reports the second configuration information through a transmission mode of non-3GPP or 3 GPP.

As can be seen from the above steps S204-11 and S204-12, if the first UE needs to switch the transmission mode from the transmission mode other than 3GPP to the transmission mode of 3GPP, the second configuration information for indicating that the information route is set to the transmission mode of 3GPP may be reported by the transmission mode other than 3GPP or 3 GPP.

Wherein, the procedure of leaving the Non-3GPP transmission mode through the Non-3GPP connection, that is, after the first UE transmits or receives information through the Non-3GPP manner, the first UE and the network are in the manner of adopting the Non-3GPP transmission, that is, the first UE transmits or receives information through the data connection of the second UE, so that the procedure of leaving the Non-3GPP transmission mode through the Non-3GPP connection thereafter includes the steps of:

Step S21, the first UE knows that the Non-3GPP connection is about to be released;

the specific case where the Non-3GPP connection is to be released may be: the second UE determines to release the data connection and notifies the first UE.

Step S22, the first UE determines that the transmission mode is the transmission mode of 3 GPP;

in step S23, the first UE constructs first information, and sends configuration information, such as multi-card auxiliary information, to the first network N3IWF through the data connection of the second UE, where the information transmission mode is a transmission mode of 3 GPP. I.e. instructs the network to send or receive information with the first UE over the 3GPP air interface.

In step S24, the first UE sends or receives information through a transmission mode of 3 GPP.

As can be seen from the above steps S21 and S24, after the first UE informs the network that the transmission mode is the transmission mode of the Non-3GPP through the configuration information and the first UE establishes the transmission mode of the Non-3GPP with the network, the first UE may also switch back to the transmission mode of the 3GPP when knowing that the Non-3GPP connection is about to be released.

For the specific procedures of the above steps S204-11 and S204-12, the method steps of leaving the Non-3GPP transmission mode through the 3GPP connection may include:

in step S31, the first UE and the network are in a Non-3GPP transmission mode.

Wherein, the first UE and the network being in the Non-3GPP transmission mode means that the first UE sends or receives information through the data connection of the second UE.

In step S32, the first UE knows that the Non-3GPP connection does not exist, such as the second UE data connection is released or fails, or the second UE leaves the connected mode.

Step S33, the first UE determines that the transmission mode is the transmission mode of 3 GPP;

in step S34, the first UE constructs first information, initiates a connection establishment procedure, and sends configuration information, such as multi-card auxiliary information, to the network, indicating that the information transmission mode is a 3GPP transmission mode.

In step S35, the first UE sends or receives information through a transmission mode of 3 GPP.

As can be seen from the above steps S31 and S35, the UE may leave the Non-3GPP transmission mode through the 3GPP connection, that is, if the UE knows that the Non-3GPP connection does not exist, the UE sends configuration information to the network for the transmission mode of the 3GPP, so that the UE may send or receive information through the transmission mode of the 3 GPP.

Optionally, the first configuration information and the second configuration information in the embodiments of the present application include at least one of the following: information routing configuration, non-3GPP transmission indication, non-3GPP transmission status, non-3GPP transmission enable.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the first configuration information and the second configuration information may refer to the same configuration information.

Optionally, in an optional implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, method steps of the embodiment of the present application may further include: step S206, after the non-3 GPP transmission connection is established, the first UE sends first paging auxiliary information to the network side equipment through a non-3 GPP transmission mode;

wherein the first paging assistance information includes at least one of: paging filter configuration, paging tendency, phone whitelist, phone blacklist.

It should be noted that, the paging filtering configuration (Paging Filtering Configuration) refers to filtering service types that do not need to send a page, such as MT Data Call (called Data service); the paging tendency (Paging Preference) refers to only the type of paging service allowed, such as Voice Call, voLTE (Voice over Long-Term Evolution, lte), voNR (Voice over New Radio, voice Call under new air interface), etc.

Optionally, in an optional implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, method steps of the embodiment of the present application may further include: step S208, the first UE sends second paging auxiliary information to the network side equipment through a non-3 GPP transmission mode or a 3GPP transmission mode;

Wherein the second paging assistance information may include part or all of the content in the first paging assistance information. That is, the sending of the second paging assistance information to the network side device via the non-3 GPP transmission manner or the 3GPP transmission manner may be a change of sending the first paging assistance information to the network side device via the non-3 GPP transmission manner only, for example, the first paging assistance information includes a paging filtering configuration and a phone white list, and then the second paging assistance information may include only the paging filtering configuration or the phone white list, or the second paging assistance information may include a phone black list in addition to the paging filtering configuration and the phone white list. Of course, the foregoing is merely exemplary, and it is within the scope of the embodiments of the present application as long as the second paging assistance information may include some or all of the content of the first paging assistance information.

Optionally, in an optional implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, method steps of the embodiment of the present application may further include: in step S210, the first UE sends third paging auxiliary information to the network side device, where the third paging auxiliary information is applicable when the information is sent or received by the transmission mode of the non-3 GPP.

It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present application, there is also a paging assistance information that is only suitable for transmitting or receiving by a non-3 GPP transmission mode. However, before informing the network side device of the third paging assistance information, the third paging assistance information may be sent to the network side device by a transmission mode of 3GPP or non-3 GPP.

In addition, the third paging auxiliary information in the embodiment of the present application is also applicable to returning to the non-3 GPP transmission mode again after the first UE leaves the non-3 GPP transmission mode. I.e. if the current non-3 GPP connection has been disconnected, the third paging message is still valid in case the next non-3 GPP connection is established again, without the network side device being informed of the third paging assistance information by the first UE.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the first configuration information, the second configuration information, the first paging auxiliary information, the second paging auxiliary information, and the third paging auxiliary information are carried by a message of at least one of the following:

Non-Access Stratum (NAS) message, cell (Information Element, IE) in NAS message, radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) message, cell IE of RRC message.

For the procedure related to the first UE sending paging auxiliary information in the embodiment of the present application, in a specific application scenario, the method steps may include:

in step S41, the first UE camps on the first network to complete the registration procedure.

In step S42, the first UE establishes PDU Session.

In step S43, the first UE returns to the idle state or inactive state.

In step S44, the second UE enters a connection mode to establish a data connection.

Step S45, the first UE determines that the transmission mode is the transmission mode of Non-3 GPP;

step S46, the first UE constructs the first information, and sends configuration information, such as multi-card auxiliary information and paging auxiliary information, to the network N3IWF through the data connection of the second UE;

the multi-card auxiliary information is used for indicating that the information transmission mode is a transmission mode of Non-3GPP, namely, is used for indicating that the network can send or receive NAS or RRC information with the first UE on the established PDU session through N3 IWF.

In addition, the paging assistance information includes at least a paging filtering configuration or a paging tendency; the paging auxiliary information is used for indicating paging auxiliary information applicable to a Non-3GPP transmission mode;

in step S47, the network side device receives the multi-card auxiliary information and the paging auxiliary information.

Step S48, the network side equipment filters the paging service type according to the paging filtering configuration or transmits the allowed paging service type according to the paging tendency;

in step S49, the first UE alters the paging assistance information.

Step S50, the first UE knows that the Non-3GPP connection is about to be released, if the second UE determines to release the data connection and notifies the first UE;

step S52, the first UE determines that the transmission mode is the transmission mode of 3 GPP;

in step S53, the first UE constructs first information, sends configuration information, such as multi-card auxiliary information,

the configuration information is used for indicating that the transmission mode is a 3GPP transmission mode, that is, indicating that the network sends or receives information with the first UE through a 3GPP air interface.

The paging assistance information after modification may include some or all of the paging assistance information before modification, and for example, the paging assistance information before modification may include: including paging filter configuration and telephone whitelist; the modified paging assistance information may include only the paging filter configuration or the phone whitelist, or the modified paging assistance information may include the phone blacklist in addition to the paging filter configuration and the phone whitelist. This is merely illustrative.

The paging assistance information after the change may be paging assistance information applicable to the Non-3GPP transmission scheme or paging assistance information applicable to the 3GPP transmission scheme;

in step S54, the first UE receives a page over the 3GPP air interface in the first network.

The foregoing describes the present application from the first UE side, and the following describes the present application with reference to the network side;

an embodiment of the present application provides a method for configuring an information transmission manner, and fig. 3 is a flowchart of a second configuration manner of the information transmission manner in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 3, where steps of the method include:

step S302, network side equipment receives first configuration information sent by first UE;

the first configuration information is used for indicating the first UE to send or receive information in a non-3GPP transmission mode; the transmission scheme of the non-3GPP refers to a transmission scheme of transmitting or receiving information through a data connection of the second UE.

Further, after receiving the first configuration information sent by the first UE, the method steps in the embodiments of the present application may further include: in step S304, the network side device sends or receives the information of the first UE in a transmission mode other than 3GPP according to the first configuration information. That is, after the transmission mode of the non-3GPP between the first UE and the network side device is established through the first configuration information, the first UE and the network side device send or receive information through the transmission mode of the non-3 GPP.

In the case that the transmission mode of the non-3 GPP needs to be switched to the transmission mode of the 3GPP, the method of the embodiment of the present application may further include:

Through the steps S306 and S308, the network side device may configure the information route to be a transmission mode of 3GPP through the second configuration information, and may further send or receive the information of the first UE through the transmission mode of 3 GPP.

Optionally, the method steps in the embodiments of the present application may further include:

in step S310, the network side device receives paging auxiliary information reported by the first UE through a non-3 GPP or a 3GPP transmission mode.

Further, the step S310 includes at least one of:

step S310-11, when the network side equipment uses the transmission mode of the non-3 GPP to transmit information, paging auxiliary information applicable to the transmission mode of the non-3 GPP is received;

step S310-12, the network side equipment receives paging auxiliary information applicable to the transmission mode transmission information of non-3 GPP through the 3GPP air interface mode;

In step S310-13, the network side device receives the paging auxiliary information applicable to the transmission information of the transmission mode of the 3GPP through the transmission mode of the non-3 GPP.

After receiving the first configuration information sent by the first UE, the network side device according to the embodiment of the present application may implement information sending or receiving between the first UE and the network side device in a non-3 GPP transmission manner. Therefore, when the first UE needs to transmit information to the network side equipment, the data connection of the second UE is not interrupted, and the data connection of the second UE is utilized to transmit or receive information, so that the problem that the connection of the UE in a connection mode is interrupted when the UE in an idle state needs to access the network to transmit or receive information in the multi-card terminal in the prior art is solved.
