It will be appreciated that the data so used may be interchanged under appropriate circumstances such that embodiments of the application are capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein, and that the terms "first," "second," etc. are generally used in a generic sense and do not limit the number of terms, e.g., a first term can be one or more than one. In addition, "and/or" in the specification and claims means at least one of connected objects, a character "/" generally means that a preceding and succeeding related objects are in an "or" relationship.

The service processing method provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart of a service processing method provided in an embodiment of the present application, where the method is applied to a terminal, and the terminal is in an inactive (inactive) state. As shown in fig. 1, the method comprises the steps of:

step 11: and after the terminal reselects the target base station, sending a request message to the target base station.

In this embodiment, the request message is used to request to receive the MBS. For example, a terminal receiving MBS performs cell reselection after entering an inactive state, and after reselecting a target cell, may initiate an active request for receiving MBS at a target base station corresponding to the target cell, that is, send a request message for requesting to receive MBS to the target base station.

Optionally, the request message may be sent through a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Resume (Resume) request message.

In the service processing method of the embodiment of the application, after the terminal in the inactive state reselects the target base station, a request message for requesting to receive the MBS may be sent to the target base station. Therefore, the terminal can be helped to quickly recover the receiving of the MBS, thereby ensuring the continuity of obtaining the MBS and improving the QoS performance of obtaining the MBS.

Optionally, the request message may include at least one of the following:

first indication information for indicating that the terminal desires to receive the MBS; for example, the first indication information may be 1bit information, such as 0 or 1, where when the first indication information is 1, the first indication information may indicate that the terminal desires to receive the MBS, and when the first indication information is 0 or the terminal does not send the first indication information, the first indication information indicates that the terminal does not desire to receive the MBS;

second indication information of MBS which the terminal is interested in;

the reason why the terminal enters the inactive state may include any one of the following: cell congestion, cell load, not to save power to the terminal, not to enter the inactive state in general, or to enter the inactive state in particular.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the MBS in which the terminal is interested may also be referred to as an MBS that the terminal desires to receive, and the like, which is not limited herein.

The reason why the terminal enters the inactive state may be specifically a reason why the terminal enters the inactive state in the source cell. The cell congestion may be a source cell congestion. The cell load may be a source cell load. By means of the reason for the terminal to enter the inactive state, it can be known that the reason for the terminal to enter the inactive state is not for saving power for the terminal, so that the terminal can be pulled back to the connected state to receive the MBS subsequently if the target base station or the target cell is not congested or the load is not heavy, thereby improving the performance of receiving the MBS. The source base station is a base station corresponding to the source cell.

Optionally, the second indication information may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following MBS's that the terminal is interested in: temporary Mobile Group Identity (TMGI), multicast Group Identity, multicast address, multicast context Identity, quality of multicast Service (Quality of Service) flow Identity, etc.

Optionally, after sending the request message to the target base station, the terminal may receive time and/or frequency resource information of an MBS in which the terminal is interested from the target base station, so as to perform MBS reception using the time and/or frequency resource information.

In one embodiment, the terminal may receive time and/or frequency resource information of an MBS in which the terminal is interested through system information broadcast by the target base station.

Optionally, after sending the request message to the target base station, the terminal may receive third indication information from the target base station; and the third indication information is used for indicating the terminal to enter a connected state to receive the interested MBS. For example, if the target base station or the target cell is not congested or not heavily loaded, and/or the QoS requirement of the MBS in which the terminal is interested is high, the target base station or the target cell may instruct the terminal to enter a connected state to receive the MBS in which the terminal is interested, thereby improving the performance of receiving the MBS.

In the embodiment of the application, for the terminal in the inactive state to actively request the MBS to be received at the target base station, the source base station may indicate the terminal or the source base station may agree with the terminal. Wherein, for the case indicated by the source base station, the terminal may receive fourth indication information from the source base station, the fourth indication information indicating that: the terminal is allowed or not allowed to actively request the MBS reception when in the inactive state.

For example, the fourth indication information may be carried in an RRC Release (Release) message that is sent to a terminal, such as a User Equipment (UE), through the source base station, and is used to indicate that the UE is allowed or not allowed to enter an inactive state to actively request receiving of the MBS, for example, after reselecting the target cell, the fourth indication information actively requests receiving of the MBS through an rrcredit request process. For MBS with higher QoS requirement, the network side is allowed, so that the UE can know whether the target base station is broadcasting the MBS or not without waiting for receiving the system information, and the target base station can recover the UE to a connection state for MBS reception in an active request mode under the condition of no heavy load, and because the quality condition of reception can be fed back under the connection state, retransmission and the like, better MBS QoS guarantee can be provided. For MBS with less high QoS requirements, the network side tends to disallow, so that the UE can receive interested MBS according to the indication in the broadcast message. If the reselected target base station does not broadcast the MBS in which the UE is interested, the UE cannot receive the MBS.

Optionally, the terminal may receive, from the source base station, a reason why the terminal enters the inactive state; the reason for the terminal to enter the inactive state may include, but is not limited to, any one of the following: cell congestion, cell load, not to save power to the terminal, not to enter an inactive state in general, to enter an inactive state in particular, and the like. Therefore, the reason that the terminal enters the non-activated state is not power saving for the terminal, and the terminal can be pulled back to the connected state to receive the MBS subsequently if the target base station or the target cell is not congested or the load is not heavy, so that the performance of receiving the MBS is improved.

In one embodiment, the reason for the terminal entering the inactive state may be carried by an RRC release message sent by the source base station to the terminal.

Optionally, the process of sending the request message to the target base station may include any one of the following:

when the terminal receives the fourth indication information from the source base station and the fourth indication information indicates that the terminal is allowed to actively request the receiving of the MBS when the terminal is in the inactive state, the terminal sends a request message to the target base station;

and when the terminal determines to allow the terminal to actively request the MBS to receive when the terminal is in the inactive state according to the protocol agreement, the terminal sends a request message to the target base station.

Therefore, by means of the indication or protocol convention of the source base station, the terminal can determine to allow the terminal to actively request the receiving of the MBS when the terminal is in the inactive state, so that after the terminal reselects the target base station in the inactive state, the terminal can send a request message for requesting the receiving of the MBS to the target base station, thereby helping the terminal to quickly recover the receiving of the MBS, ensuring the continuity of obtaining the MBS and improving the QoS performance of obtaining the MBS.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart of a service processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, where the method is applied to a base station, such as a target base station. As shown in fig. 2, the method comprises the steps of:

step 21: a request message is received from a terminal in an inactive state.

In this embodiment, the request message is used to request to receive the MBS. For example, after entering an inactive state, a terminal receiving MBS performs cell reselection, and after reselecting a target cell, an active request for receiving MBS may be initiated at a target base station corresponding to the target cell, and the target base station receives a request message for requesting to receive MBS.

Optionally, the request message may be sent by an RRC recovery request message.

In the service processing method of the embodiment of the application, the base station may receive a request message from the terminal in the inactive state, where the request message is used to request to receive the MBS. Therefore, the terminal can be helped to quickly recover the receiving of the MBS, thereby ensuring the continuity of obtaining the MBS and improving the QoS performance of obtaining the MBS.

Optionally, the request message may include at least one of the following:

first indication information for indicating that the terminal desires to receive the MBS; for example, the first indication information may be 1-bit information, such as 0 or 1, where when the first indication information is 1, the first indication information may indicate that the terminal desires to receive the MBS, and when the first indication information is 0 or the terminal does not send the first indication information, the first indication information indicates that the terminal does not desire to receive the MBS;

second indication information of MBS which the terminal is interested in;

the reason for the terminal to enter the inactive state may include any one of the following reasons: the method comprises the steps of cell congestion, cell load, power saving for a terminal, non-ordinary entering into an inactive state and special entering into the inactive state.

The reason why the terminal enters the inactive state may be specifically a reason why the terminal enters the inactive state in the source cell. The cell congestion may be a source cell congestion. The cell load may be a source cell load. By means of the reason that the terminal enters the inactive state, it can be known that the reason that the terminal enters the inactive state is not power saving for the terminal, so that the terminal can be pulled back to the connected state to receive the MBS subsequently if the target base station or the target cell is not congested or the load is not heavy, thereby improving the performance of receiving the MBS.

Optionally, the second indication information may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following MBS of interest to the terminal: TMGI, multicast group identification, multicast address, multicast context identification, multicast QoS flow identification, etc.

Optionally, if the base station is a target base station, the service processing method in this embodiment may further include: the method comprises the steps of sending request information to a source base station, wherein the request information is used for requesting MBS information which is interested by a terminal, receiving indication information of the MBS which is interested by the terminal from the source base station so that a target base station can know the MBS which is interested by the terminal, and sending time and/or frequency resource information and the like of the MBS which is interested by the terminal to the terminal.

For example, after receiving the request message from the terminal in the inactive state, the target base station may send request information for requesting MBS information in which the terminal is interested to the source base station, and receive indication information of the MBS in which the terminal is interested from the source base station, so as to know the MBS in which the terminal is interested.

Optionally, after receiving the request message from the terminal in the inactive state, the base station may further perform the first operation in this embodiment. Wherein the first operation may include at least one of:

when a base station is sending the MBS which the terminal is interested in, sending the time and/or frequency resource information of the MBS which the terminal is interested in to the terminal, thereby leading the terminal to utilize the time and/or frequency resource information to receive the MBS;

when the base station does not send the MBS which the terminal is interested in, the base station initiates a channel, service or session establishment request to the core network equipment, and sends the time and/or frequency resource information of the MBS which the terminal is interested in to the terminal after the channel, service or session of the MBS which the terminal is interested in is established; for example, the core network device may be a User Plane Function (UPF), a Session Management Function (SMF), an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), and the like;

sending third indication information to the terminal; and the third indication information is used for indicating the terminal to enter a connected state to receive the interested MBS. For example, if the base station or the cell is not congested or not heavily loaded, and/or the QoS requirement of the MBS in which the terminal is interested is high, the base station may instruct the terminal to enter a connected state to receive the MBS in which the terminal is interested, thereby improving the performance of receiving the MBS.

As an optional embodiment, if the base station is a target base station, and the request message sent by the terminal includes the second indication information, that is, the request message carries the indication information of the MBS in which the terminal is interested, the target base station may directly perform the first operation after receiving the request message.

As another optional embodiment, if the base station is a target base station, and the request message sent by the terminal includes the first indication information but does not include the second indication information, for example, the request message only includes the first indication information, before the first operation is performed, the target base station further needs to perform the following steps: sending request information to a source base station, wherein the request information is used for requesting MBS information which is interested by a terminal; receiving indication information of the MBS in which the terminal is interested from the source base station so as to perform a first operation after learning the MBS in which the terminal is interested.

Optionally, the indication information of MBS of interest to the terminal may include, but is not limited to, TMGI, multicast group identity, multicast address, multicast context identity, multicast QoS flow identity, etc. When the source base station provides the indication information of the MBS in which the terminal is interested to the target base station, the source base station may not carry some context information of the terminal, such as information related to the terminal itself, such as a key.

Optionally, if the base station is a target base station, the target base station may receive, from the source base station, a reason why the terminal enters the inactive state; the reason for the terminal to enter the inactive state may include, but is not limited to, any one of the following: cell congestion, cell load, not to save power to the terminal, not to enter an inactive state in general, to enter an inactive state in particular, and the like. Therefore, the reason that the terminal enters the non-activated state is not for saving power for the terminal, and the terminal can be pulled back to the connected state to receive the MBS subsequently if the target base station or the target cell is not congested or the load is not heavy, so that the performance of receiving the MBS is improved.

In an embodiment, the source base station may actively send the reason for the terminal to enter the inactive state to the target base station, or may send the reason for the terminal to enter the inactive state to the target base station based on a request of the target base station.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart of an information indication method provided in an embodiment of the present application, where the method is applied to a terminal, and the terminal is in an inactive state, for example. As shown in fig. 3, the method comprises the steps of:

step 31: receiving fourth indication information from the base station.

In this embodiment, the fourth indication information is used to indicate: the terminal is allowed or not allowed to actively request the MBS reception when in the inactive state.

For example, the terminal may receive the fourth indication information from the source base station. The fourth indication information may be carried in an RRC release message sent by the source base station to the UE, and is used to indicate that the UE is allowed or not allowed to enter an inactive state to actively request for receiving the MBS, for example, after the target base station is reselected, the MBS is actively requested to be received through an rrcredit request process. For MBS with higher QoS requirement, the network side is allowed, so that the UE can know whether the target base station is broadcasting the MBS or not without waiting for receiving the system information, and the target base station or the target cell can recover the UE to a connection state for receiving the MBS in an active request mode under the condition of no heavy load, and because the quality condition of the receiving can be fed back under the connection state, the retransmission and the like, better QoS guarantee of the MBS can be provided. For MBS with less high QoS requirements, the network side tends to disallow, so that the UE can receive interested MBS according to the indication in the broadcast message. If the reselected target base station does not broadcast the MBS which the UE is interested in, the UE cannot receive the MBS.

In the information indication method of the embodiment of the application, by receiving the fourth indication information from the base station, when the fourth indication information indicates that the terminal is allowed to actively request the receiving of the MBS when the terminal is in the inactive state, the terminal sends the request message for requesting the receiving of the MBS to the target base station after reselecting the target base station when the terminal is in the inactive state, so that the terminal can be helped to quickly recover the receiving of the MBS, the continuity of obtaining the MBS is ensured, and the QoS performance of obtaining the MBS is improved.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flowchart of an information indication method provided in an embodiment of the present application, where the method is applied to a base station, such as a source base station. As shown in fig. 4, the method includes the steps of:

step 41: and sending the fourth indication information to the terminal.

For example, the fourth indication information may be carried in an RRC release message sent by the source base station to the UE, and is used to indicate that the UE is allowed or not allowed to enter an inactive state to actively request the MBS to be received, for example, after the target base station is reselected, the MBS is actively requested to be received through an rrcredit request process. For MBS with higher QoS requirement, the network side is allowed, so that UE can know whether the target base station is broadcasting MBS or not without waiting for receiving system information, and the target base station or cell can recover the UE to a connection state for MBS reception in an active request mode under the condition of no heavy load, and because the quality condition of reception can be fed back under the connection state, retransmission and the like, better MBS QoS guarantee can be provided. For MBS with less high QoS requirements, the network side tends to disallow, so that the UE can receive interested MBS according to the indication in the broadcast message. If the reselected target base station does not broadcast the MBS which the UE is interested in, the UE cannot receive the MBS.

In the information indication method of the embodiment of the application, by sending the fourth indication information to the terminal, when the fourth indication information indicates that the terminal is allowed to actively request the receiving of the MBS when the terminal is in the inactive state, the terminal sends the request message for requesting the receiving of the MBS to the target base station after reselecting the target base station when the terminal is in the inactive state, so that the terminal can be helped to quickly recover the receiving of the MBS, the continuity of obtaining the MBS is ensured, and the QoS performance of obtaining the MBS is improved.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a flowchart of an information indication method provided in an embodiment of the present application, where the method is applied to a terminal or a target base station, and the terminal is in an inactive state, for example. As shown in fig. 5, the method includes the steps of:

step 51: the reason for the terminal to enter the inactive state is received from the source base station.

In this embodiment, the reason why the terminal enters the inactive state may include, but is not limited to, any one of the following: cell congestion, cell load, not to save power to the terminal, not to enter an inactive state in general, to enter an inactive state in particular, etc. For example, the reason why the terminal enters the inactive state may be specifically the reason why the terminal enters the inactive state in the source cell, and correspondingly, the cell congestion is the source cell congestion, and the cell load is the source cell load.

In one embodiment, the source base station may actively send the reason for the terminal to enter the inactive state to the target base station, or may send the reason for the terminal to enter the inactive state to the target base station based on a request from the target base station.

In one embodiment, the terminal may receive the reason for the terminal to enter the inactive state from the source base station through an RRC release message.

Therefore, the reason that the terminal enters the non-activated state is not power saving for the terminal, and the terminal can be pulled back to the connected state to receive the MBS subsequently if the target base station or the target cell is not congested or the load is not heavy, so that the performance of receiving the MBS is improved.

In this embodiment, the reason why the terminal enters the inactive state may include, but is not limited to, any one of the following: cell congestion, cell load, not to save power to the terminal, not to enter an inactive state in general, to enter an inactive state in particular, and the like. For example, the reason why the terminal enters the inactive state may be specifically the reason why the terminal enters the inactive state in the source cell, and correspondingly, the cell congestion is the source cell congestion, and the cell load is the source cell load.

In one embodiment, the source base station may send the reason for the terminal to enter the inactive state to the terminal through an RRC release message.
