Based on this, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below by means of some embodiments and application scenarios thereof in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 2, a flow chart of a method 200 for mobility updating according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is provided, and the method 200 may be, but is not limited to being, executed by a terminal, and in particular may be executed by hardware and/or software installed in the terminal. In this embodiment, the method 200 may at least include the following steps.

S210, the terminal performs a first mobility update operation and cancels a second mobility update operation in case of camping on the first mobile access point.

The first mobile access point may be a vehicle (such as a high-speed rail, a bus, etc.) or a mobile switching device installed in the vehicle, and the terminal may be a user terminal, a camera device, a ticket vending machine, etc. located in the vehicle.

Based on the above, after the terminal camps on the first mobile access point, considering that the terminal moves along with the first mobile access point, that is, the change condition of the registration area or the wireless area of the terminal is consistent with the first mobile access point, in order to avoid frequent mobility updating operation of the terminal, the terminal can execute the first mobility updating operation while camping on the first mobile access point and cancel the second mobility updating operation after the first mobility updating operation, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of high terminal energy consumption caused by frequent mobility updating operation in the moving process of the terminal along with the first mobile access point.

Meanwhile, if a large number of terminals move together with the first mobile access point, the second mobility updating operation is canceled by the terminal, so that the occurrence of signaling storm caused by frequently triggering the mobility updating operation in the moving process when a large number of terminals move out of a registration area or a wireless area can be avoided, and the wireless communication performance is ensured.

Of course, when the terminal moves along with the first mobile access point, the terminal may access the first base station system through the first mobile access point, may also communicate with other terminals through the first mobile access point (understand as a relay), and may also communicate with other terminals without passing through the first mobile access point, which is not limited herein.

In addition, the terminal may be arbitrarily mobile when camping on the first mobile access point, for example, may camp on the first mobile access point from an idle state or may camp on the first mobile access point from an inactive state, which is not limited herein.

In this embodiment, after the terminal resides in the first mobile access point, the first mobility update operation is performed, and other mobility update operations that occur after the first mobility update operation are canceled, so that the number of times of occurrence of the mobility update operation can be reasonably controlled when the terminal moves out of the registration area or the wireless area, thereby reducing the terminal energy consumption, avoiding occurrence of signaling storm, and ensuring the wireless communication performance.

As shown in fig. 3, which is a flow chart illustrating a method 300 for mobility updating according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the method 200 may be, but is not limited to being, performed by a terminal, and in particular may be performed by hardware and/or software installed in the terminal. In this embodiment, the method 300 may at least include the following steps.

S310, the terminal executes a first mobility updating operation and cancels a second mobility updating operation under the condition of residing to a first mobile access point, or sends information to a core network side and cancels the first mobility updating operation; .

Wherein the first mobile access point camps on a first base station system and the second mobility update operation is a mobility update operation that occurs after the first mobility update operation.

It is understood that the implementation procedure of S310 may be implemented by protocol conventions, higher layer configurations, network side configurations, etc. as a possible implementation way, in addition to the relevant description in the method embodiment 200, whether the terminal cancels the second mobility update operation.

For example, after the terminal camps on the first mobile access point, the first mobile access point may send first indication information to the terminal so that the terminal may cancel a second mobility update operation or cancel a first mobility update operation based on the first indication information.

Wherein, the first indication information can be a display indication or an implicit indication. For example, in the implicit indication, if the first indication information indicates to the terminal that the first mobile access point is a mobile access point, the terminal may determine that the second mobility update operation needs to be canceled according to the first indication information. It will be appreciated that since the terminal is arbitrarily mobile, it is not clear to the terminal whether the second mobile access point is a mobile access point when camping from a first mobile access point to a second mobile access point.

Or, the first indication information includes 1bit information for displaying information indicating whether the terminal cancels the second mobility updating operation.

In addition, when the terminal performs the first mobility updating operation, the terminal may acquire a first identifier from the first mobile access point, and further perform the step of performing the first mobility updating operation based on the first identifier, or perform the step of sending information to the core network side based on the first identifier.

Wherein the first identity may comprise at least one of a tracking area identity (Tracking Area Identity, TAI), tracking area code (IMEI Type Allocation Code, TAC), routing Area Identity (RAI), routing Area Code (RAC).

It should be noted that the first indication information and the first identifier may be issued to the terminal by the first mobile access point at the same time, for example, the first mobile access point may send the first indication information and the first identifier to the terminal through one message, or may send the first indication information and the first identifier to the terminal through different messages, which is not limited herein.

In addition, the first indication information and the identification may be transmitted through a system message, a broadcast, a multicast, a radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) message, or the like, without limitation.

Further, the terminal, when performing the first mobility update operation, may include at least one of the following (11) - (12).

(11) Registration (Registration) operation.

(12) Wireless zone update (Radio Area Update) operations.

Further, the terminal may include at least one of the following (13) - (16) when transmitting information to the core network side.

(13) Registration (Registration) information.

(14) Service Request (Service Request) information.

(15) Message data unit Session (PDU Session) information.

(16) Non-access stratum (NAS) information.

S320, the terminal performs the second mobility update operation or performs the first mobility update operation in case of camping on a second mobile access point or a second base station system.

Optionally, the second mobility update operation includes at least one of the following (21) - (22).

(21) Registration operation.

(22) Wireless zone update operations.

Alternatively, the terminal may acquire from the second base station system or the second mobile access point before performing the second mobility update operation, and perform the second mobility update operation or perform the first mobility update operation based on the second identifier.

Wherein, similar to the first identifier, the second identifier may also include at least one of a tracking area identifier, a tracking area code, a routing area identifier, and a routing area code.

Of course, please refer to fig. 1b again, in the mobility update procedure, it is assumed that the terminal resides in the first mobile access point, and the terminal may send, to the network side, relevant information of the terminal through the first mobile access point, where the relevant information of the terminal is used in at least one of the following (31) - (33).

(31) Associating the terminal with the first mobile access point.

The process of associating the terminal with the first mobile access point may be that the terminal instructs (or requests) the network side to associate the terminal with the first mobile access point by sending related information of the terminal to the network side, or the network side performs association of the terminal with the first mobile access point according to own communication requirements after receiving the related information of the terminal, so that the network side may implement signaling transmission between the two based on the association relationship, determination of a terminal position, and the like.

It can be understood that, assuming that the terminal is a terminal moving together with the first mobile access point or the terminal accesses the first mobile access point, when the network side needs the location information of the terminal or needs to perform signaling interaction with the terminal, the network side can obtain the location information of the terminal or perform signaling interaction with the terminal by acquiring the location information or signaling sending information of the first mobile access point associated with the terminal, thereby reducing signaling overhead and improving the efficiency of the communication process.

(32) And sending first information to the terminal based on the related information of the first mobile access point.

The first information may be information that the terminal requests the network side (such as the first base station system, the first core network function, the second core network function, etc.) to send, or may be information that the network side needs to send to the terminal, where the type and content of the first information are not limited in this application, for example, the first information may be user plane signaling, control plane signaling, etc. Correspondingly, the first information is received through a signaling plane or a data plane and is sent through the signaling plane or the data plane.

That is, in the present application, the terminal may perform signaling interaction with the terminal based on the related information of the first mobile access point through reporting the related information of the terminal, so that signaling overhead may be reduced while signaling transmission between the network side and the terminal is ensured.

(33) And determining the position of the terminal based on the related information of the first mobile access point.

The terminal may request the network side to determine the location of the terminal based on the relevant information of the first mobile access point after receiving the relevant information of the terminal, or may determine the location of the terminal according to the relevant information of the terminal and the relevant information of the first mobile access point when the network side determines the location of the terminal according to the actual communication requirement, that is, the relevant information of the terminal is used by the network side to determine the location of the terminal.

Further, as a possible implementation manner, the related information of the terminal may include at least one of the following (41) - (43).

(41) Attribute information of the terminal; the attribute information of the terminal may include, but is not limited to, identification information of the terminal, address (e.g., physical address or logical address) information of the terminal, connection identification of the terminal, type information of the terminal, and the like.

(42) The connection information of the terminal and the first mobile access point, for example, whether the terminal and the first mobile access point are connected through a Uu port or a PC5 port, etc., is not limited herein.

(43) Information of a network side, the network side serving the terminal. The information on the network side includes information of the first base station system, information of the first core network function, information of the second core network function, and the like.

Accordingly, the related information of the first mobile access point may at least include: attribute information of the first mobile access point. The attribute information of the first mobile access point may include a type of the first mobile access point, identification information of the first mobile access point, address information of the first node, and the like.

Corresponding to the terminal side, the first mobile access point may report the relevant information of the terminal to a network side, or after the first base station system on the network side acquires the relevant information of the terminal, the relevant information of the terminal and the relevant information of the first mobile access point may also be reported to a core network function (such as a first core network function and a second core network function), so that the first base station system and/or the core network function execute at least one of the foregoing (31) - (33).

Of course, as an implementation manner, besides the foregoing information reporting, the related information of the terminal and the related information of the first mobile access point may be configured in the first base station system and the core network function through protocol convention, high-level configuration or network side configuration, so as to implement signaling interaction with the terminal and determination of a terminal position based on the related information of the first mobile access point, which is not limited herein.

That is, the network side may implement signaling interaction with the terminal, determination of the terminal position, etc. based on the related information of the first mobile access point associated with the terminal, so that the problem that the related information of communication of the terminal needs to be acquired in the related technology to implement signaling interaction with the terminal can be avoided, signaling overhead is reduced, and reliability of wireless communication is ensured.

In addition, if the first mobile access point is handed over from a first base station system to a second base station system, the first base station system can also send the relevant information of the terminal and the relevant information of the first mobile access point to the second base station system through a core network function, so that the core network function and the second base station system can realize signaling interaction with the terminal through the first mobile access point, and the continuity of a communication process is ensured.
