Background

According to the existing third generation partnership project (3 rd Generation Partnership Project; abbreviated as 3 GPP) protocol, when a terminal has no traffic flow for a maximum IDLE interval, the core network deletes its radio connection and sets the session state to an IDLE state (i.e., IDLE).

Fig. 5 is a flow chart of a processing method for terminal wake-up provided in a fourth embodiment of the present application, where, based on the foregoing embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, the method further includes:

s501, the TM module inserts a time stamp in the ICMP echo request message.

In this embodiment, the timestamp inserted in the ICMP echo request message may be a time of ICMP echo request message and written into ICMP echo request message.

S503, a TM module obtains a time stamp in the ICMP echo reply message, and compares the time stamp with the current time corresponding to the time when the ICMP echo reply message is received, so as to obtain the average time delay of the terminal to be awakened, wherein the time stamp in the ICMP echo reply message is consistent with the time stamp inserted in the ICMP echo request message.

In this embodiment, the ICMP echo reply message may refer to a reply message corresponding to the ICMP echo request message, and part of the content in the ICMP echo reply message is from the corresponding ICMP echo request message, that is, part of the content in the ICMP echo reply message is consistent with the corresponding ICMP echo request message, for example, the timestamp in the ICMP echo reply message is the timestamp inserted in the ICMP echo request message; the average time delay of the terminal to be awakened can be obtained by comparing the time stamp with the current time corresponding to the time when the ICMP echo reply message is received, wherein the network delay degree of the terminal can be judged through the average time delay. The mean time delay is calculated as follows:

average delay= (current time-timestamp)/2

For example, if the timestamp in the ICMP echo request message is 1700730000S (i.e., 2023/11/23:00:00), the current time is 2023/11/23:17: 00:02, the average time delay is 1S.

In this embodiment, for example, if there is a running timer in the terminal 1, the timer is deleted, a timer with a wake-up period of 6S is established, and steps of sending and receiving a message are performed, so that the session state of the terminal 1 is in a connection state.

S608, if the preset wake-up configuration information corresponding to the terminal is not set, and the terminal has no service data in the maximum idle interval, the session state of the terminal is set to be an idle state.

In this embodiment, for example, if the terminal 2 does not set the preset wake-up configuration information corresponding to the terminal 2 and there is no service data in 10S, the session state of the terminal 2 is set to be the idle state.
