本申请实施例中的图2中所示的核心网设备可以为不同通信系统中的核心网设备。例如,5G通信系统中的核心网设备或LTE通信系统中的核心网设备。无线接入网设备包括第一无线接入网设备和第二无线接入网设备)。
具体地,图2中的第一无线接入网设备可以为基站(gNodeB,gNB)或者(ng-eNodeB,ng-eNB);第二无线接入网设备也可以为gNB或者ng-eNB。其中,gNB为终端设备提供NR的用户面和控制面协议和功能,ng-eNB为终端设备提供演进通用陆地无线接入(evolved universal terrestrial radio access,E-UTRA)的用户面和控制面协议和功能。无线接入网设备之间的接口都为Xn接口;无线接入网设备和核心网设备之间的接口称为NG接口。
具体地,gNB或ng-eNB可以包括CU和DU。具体地,一个无线接入网设备中可以包括一个集中单元和一个或多个分布式单元。在图2中,第二无线接入网设备包括第一分布式单元和第二分布式单元)。
其中,CU设备具有(hosting)无线高层协议栈功能。例如,CU具有RRC层,分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层等。甚至CU也能够支持部分核心网功能下沉至接入网,称作边缘计算网络,能够满足未来通信网络的新兴业务(例如,视频,网购,虚拟/增强现实)对于网络时延的更高要求。CU具有无线接入网高层协议栈以及核心网的一部分功能,涉及的主要协议层包括RRC功能、服务发现应用协议(service discovery application protocol,SDAP)、分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)子层功能。DU具有基带处理的物理层以及层2部分功能,具体地,DU实现射频处理功能和无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)、媒质接入控 制(medium access control,MAC)以及物理层(physical layer,PHY)等基带处理功能。CU可以集中式的部署,DU的部署取决实际网络环境,核心城区,话务密度较高,站间距较小,机房资源受限的区域,例如高校,大型演出场馆等,DU也可以集中式部署,而话务较稀疏,站间距较大等区域,例如郊县,山区等区域,DU可以采取分布式的部署方式。

gNB还可以包括有源天线单元(active antenna unit,AAU)。CU实现gNB的部分功能,DU实现gNB的部分功能。由于RRC层的信息最终会变成PHY层的信息,或者,由PHY层的信息转变而来,因而,在这种架构下,高层信令,如RRC层信令,也可以认为是由DU发送的,或者,由DU+AAU发送的。可以理解的是,网络设备可以为包括CU节点、DU节点、AAU节点中一项或多项的设备。在本申请实施例中,用户设备或网络设备包括硬件层、运行在硬件层之上的操作系统层,以及运行在操作系统层上的应用层。该硬件层包括中央处理器(central processing unit,CPU)、内存管理单元(memory management unit,MMU)和内存等硬件。该操作系统可以是任意一种或多种通过进程(process)实现业务处理的计算机操作系统,例如,Linux操作系统、Unix操作系统、Android操作系统、iOS操作系统或windows操作系统等。该应用层包含浏览器、通讯录、文字处理软件、即时通信软件等应用。并且,本申请实施例并未对本申请实施例提供的方法的执行主体的具体结构特别限定,只要能够通过运行记录有本申请实施例的提供的方法的代码的程序,以根据本申请实施例提供的方法进行通信即可,例如,本申请实施例提供的方法的执行主体可以是用户设备或接入网设备,或者,是用户设备或接入网设备中能够调用程序并执行程序的功能模块。

为了便于理解本申请实施例中提供的寻呼的方法,下面简单介绍本申请实施例中涉及到的几个基本概念:
1、非公网络(non-public networks,NPN)。
NPN是3GPP标准中正在讨论的一种网络,区别于传统蜂窝网络,NPN网络允许某些具有特定权限的用户接入。NPN包括两种网络架构,一种网络架构是独立(standalone,SA)组网,另外一种网络架构是非独立(non-standalone,NSA)组网。其中,非独立组网NPN也可以称为(public network integrated NPN,PNI-NPN),为了便于描述下文中独立组网NPN记为SNPN、非独立组网NPN记为PNI-NPN。下面结合图3和图4简单介绍NPN和PLMN的联系和区别。
如图3所示,图3是本申请实施例提供的一种SNPN和PLMN示意图。SNPN和PLMN拥有独立的RAN和核心网,SNPN被视为非3GPP网络,SNPN和PLMN的核心网之间通过非3GPP网间互通功能(non-3GPP inter working function,N3IWF)网元相连,通过N3IWF网元可进行用户面、控制面的互通。SNPN中,由NID和PLMN ID共同来标识一个SNPN。SNPN中的某个小区可以由Cell ID、PLMN ID和NID共同标识。例如,第一小区(Cell ID为第一Cell)同时可以接入第一网络和第二网络(PLMN ID分别为第一PLMN和第二PLMN),第一网络中布置有第一独立私网(NID为第一NID)用户设备需要接入第一独立私网时,需要包括的标识包括第一Cell、第一PLMN和第一NID。
从图3中可以看出,UE的PLMN PDU会话资源承载在:UE、NPN-RAN、NPN-UPF、DN、PLMN-N3IWF、PLMN-UPF、DN;从图3中可以看出,UE的NPN PDU会话资源承载在:UE、NPN-RAN、NPN-UPF、DN。本申请中所涉及的“会话资源承载在”某些设备或网元上可以理解为“会话资源”由该某些设备或网元提供。图中5GC为5G核心网设备。
如图4所示,图4是本申请实施例提供的一种PNI-NPN和PLMN示意图。PNI-NPN和PLMN共用核心网或者接入网。PNI-NPN中将有权限接入PNI-NPN的用户称为属于CAG中的用户,PNI-NPN中的某小区可用PLMN ID、CAG ID和Cell ID共同标识。如图4所示,PLMN和PNI-NPN网络共用核心网(AMF、UPF等),分别部署PLMN-RAN和PNI-NPN-RAN,不同RAN之间可以有Xn接口。
从图4中可以看出,UE的PLMN PDU会话资源承载在:UE、PLMN-RAN、UPF、DN;从图4中可以看出,UE的NPN PDU会话资源承载在:UE、INPN-RAN、UPF、DN。
2、CAG。
如果一个网络设备或者小区是属于PNI-NPN,该网络设备或者小区会广播CAG标识,那么只有是这个封闭接入组的注册终端设备才能够接入这个网络。也就是说,只有 是这个封闭接入组注册的终端设备才能够被该小区服务。不同的CAG对应不同的CAG标识(identify,ID)。
3、共享接入网设备(shared-RAN)。
shared-RAN是指一个RAN下可以配置不同网络的小区,用户设备可以通过一个RAN接入到不同的网络(例如,接入到有不同PLMN ID的网络)。下面结合图5和图6简单介绍shared-RAN场景下NPN和PLMN的联系和区别。
如图5所示,图5是本申请实施例提供的一种shared-RAN场景下SNPN和PLMN示意图。在图5中,NPN-RAN是shared-RAN,shared-RAN配置有PLMN和NPN小区,用户设备的PLMN的协议数据单元(protocol data unit,PDU)会话(session)资源可以直接通过shared-RAN建立,UE的PLMN PDU会话资源承载在:UE、shared-RAN、PLMN UPF、DN。UE的NPN PDU会话资源承载在:UE、shared-RAN、NPN UPF、DNshared-RAN和PLMN-RAN之间可能存在Xn接口。
如图6所示,图6是本申请实施例提供的一种shared-RAN场景下PNI-NPN和PLMN示意图。在shared-RAN场景下,对比图5,图6(a)中PNI-NPN和PLMN共用核心网和RAN,图6(b)中PNI-NPN和PLMN共用RAN,核心网分别部署。shared-RAN中配置了PLMN小区和PNI-NPN小区。具体地,从图6(a)中可以看出,PNI-NPN和PLMN共用AMF、UPF和DN,UE的PLMN PDU和NPN PDU会话资源承载在:UE、shared-RAN、UPF、DN;从图6(b)中可以看出,PNI-NPN和PLMN共用RAN和DN,但是PNI-NPN和PLMN各自具有AMF和UPF,UE的PLMN PDU会话资源承载在:UE、shared-RAN、PLMN UPF、DN、UE的NPN PDU会话资源承载在:UE、shared-RAN、NPN UPF、DN。
进一步地,shared-RAN也可以适用于图2所示的CU-DU。在CU-DU架构下,以PNI-NPN和SNPN为例,如图7所示,图7是本申请实施例提供的一种shared-RAN场景下PNI-NPN和SNPN示意图。如图7所示,PLMN和SNPN分别连接各自CU,PNI-NPN-CU和SNPN-CU共享Shared-DU,PNI-NPN-CU和SNPN-CU间可能存在Xn口。同样的,PNI-NPN和SNPN、PNI-NPN和PLMN也有类似衍生场景,Shared-CU也有类似衍生场景,不再一一赘述。
4、寻呼(paging)。
寻呼包括核心网触发的寻呼(CN paging)和RAN侧触发的寻呼(RAN paging)。
对于处于注册管理注册态(registration management registered,RM-Registered)并处于RRC空闲(idle)态的用户设备,当有该用户设备数据到达UPF时,UPF触发SMF、AMF发起CN paging,AMF将paging信息发送给RAN,paging信息中包括所要寻呼的PLMN ID、跟踪区号(tracking area code,TAC)、Cell ID、用户设备的标识(例如,用户设备的5G S-临时移动用户标识(5G S-temporary mobile subscriber identity,5G-S-TMSI))、RAN节点ID等信息。RAN收到CN paging后,发起RAN paging,继续在相应的小区通过Uu口继续寻呼用户设备,Uu口寻呼信息中包括用户设备标识(5G-S-TMSI)。处于RRC-idle态的用户设备收到paging消息后,可能会发起一个建立RRC过程以响应寻呼。
对于处于RM-Registered并处于RRC非激活(inactive)态的用户设备,当有用户设备数据到达UPF时,不用进行CN paging,UPF将数据发送至RAN,RAN触发RAN paging, 在Uu口寻呼用户设备,Uu口寻呼信息中包括用户设备标识(5G-S-TMSI,I-RNTI)等信息。RRC-inactive态的用户设备收到寻呼信息后,在被寻呼所在的小区,发送无线资源控制恢复请求(RRC resume request)信息响应寻呼。
本申请实施例可以适用于上述处于RM-Registered并处于RRC-idle态的用户设备的寻呼,也适用于处于RM-Registered并处于RRC-inactive态的用户设备的寻呼。
此外,为了便于理解本申请实施例,做出以下几点说明。
第一,在本申请中,“用于指示”可以包括用于直接指示和用于间接指示。当描述用于指示A时,可以包括该指示信息直接指示A或间接指示A,而并不代表该指示信息中一定包括有A。
用于指示的信息可以称为待指示信息,则具体实现过程中,对待指示信息进行指示的方式有很多种。例如,可以直接指示待指示信息,如待指示信息本身或者该待指示信息的索引等。也可以通过指示其他信息来间接指示待指示信息,其中该其他信息与待指示信息之间存在关联关系。还可以仅仅指示待指示信息的一部分,而待指示信息的其他部分则是已知的或者提前约定的。例如,还可以借助预先约定(例如协议规定)的各个信息的排列顺序来实现对特定信息的指示,从而在一定程度上降低指示开销。同时,还可以识别各个信息的通用部分并统一指示,以降低单独指示同样的信息而带来的指示开销。当需要指示相同类型的多个信息时,可能会出现不同信息的指示方式不相同的情形。具体实现过程中,可以根据具体的需要选择所需的指示方式,本申请实施例对选择的指示方式不做限定,如此一来,本申请实施例涉及的指示方式应理解为涵盖可以使得待指示方获知待指示信息的各种方法。
待指示信息可以作为一个整体一起发送,也可以分成多个子信息分开发送,而且这些子信息的发送周期和/或发送时机可以相同,也可以不同。具体发送方法本申请不进行限定。其中,这些子信息的发送周期和/或发送时机可以是预先定义的,例如根据协议预先定义的,也可以是发射端设备通过向接收端设备发送配置信息来配置的。其中,该配置信息可以例如但不限于包括无线资源控制信令、MAC层信令和物理层信令中的一种或者至少两种的组合。其中,无线资源控制信令例如包括RRC信令;MAC层信令例如包括MAC控制元素(control element,CE);物理层信令例如包括下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)。
第二,在下文示出的实施例中第一、第二以及各种数字编号仅为描述方便进行的区分,并不用来限制本申请实施例的范围。例如,区分不同的预设对应关系等。
第三,在下文示出的实施例中,“预设的”可包括由网络设备信令指示或者预先定义,例如,协议定义。其中,“预先定义”可以通过在设备(例如,包括用户设备和网络设备)中预先保存相应的代码、表格或其他可用于指示相关信息的方式来实现,本申请对于其具体的实现方式不做限定。
第四,本申请实施例中涉及的“保存”,可以是指的保存在一个或者多个存储器中。所述一个或者多个存储器,可以是单独的设置,也可以是集成在编码器、译码器、处理器、或通信装置中。所述一个或者多个存储器,也可以是一部分单独设置,一部分集成在编码器、译码器、处理器、或通信装置中。存储器的类型可以是任意形式的存储介质,本申请并不对此限定。
第五,本申请实施例中涉及的“协议”可以是指通信领域的标准协议,例如可以包括LTE协议、NR协议以及应用于未来的通信系统中的相关协议,本申请对此不做限定。
针对上述处于RM-Registered并处于RRC-idle态的用户设备已有的寻呼机制中,用户设备收到寻呼消息后,会响应寻呼消息接入到相应小区,进而用户设备转为RRC连接(connected)态。此后,用户设备不再监听或者接收其他小区的寻呼信息,而只在已接入的小区接收寻呼信息。而在shared-RAN场景下,一个shared-RAN下可以配置不同网络的小区,当用户设备接入到其下的某个网络的小区而从处于RRC-idle态转变为处于RRC-connected态时,若另一个网络触发shared-RAN在其他相应小区下寻呼用户设备时,用户设备并不会监听和接收到另一个网络的寻呼,则另一个网络一直得不到寻呼相应。另一方面,从用户设备角度,当用户设备注册有多个网络时,在接入某个网络之前需要监听多个网络的寻呼,耗能严重。从网络角度,不同网络要寻呼用户设备时,要分别进行寻呼,耗能严重。
为了解决shared-RAN场景下用户设备寻呼存在的上述问题,本申请实施例提供一种寻呼的方法,以期保障shared-RAN场景下的正常寻呼。
下面将结合附图详细说明本申请实施例提供的寻呼的方法。
本申请实施例提供的方法可以应用于不同的通信系统,例如,图1或图2中所示的通信系统。该通信系统可以包括至少一个网络设备和至少一个用户设备。还下文示出的实施例并未对本申请实施例提供的方法的执行主体的具体结构特别限定,只要能够通过运行记录有本申请实施例的提供的方法的代码的程序,以根据本申请实施例提供的方法进行通信即可,例如,本申请实施例提供的方法的执行主体可以是用户设备或网络设备,或者,是用户设备或网络设备中能够调用程序并执行程序的功能模块或芯片。

图8是本申请实施例提供的一种寻呼的方法示意性流程图。该流程中,执行主体包括第二用户面功能网元、第二核心网设备、接入装置和用户设备,其中,为了区别于用户设备,上述的第二用户面功能网元、第二核心网设备和接入装置可以统称为网络设备。
本申请实施例中的接入装置可以为上述的shared-RAN,或者其他能够支持接入多个网络的接入设备,本申请对于接入装置的具体形式并不限定。
本申请实施例中的核心网设备可以为图1中所示的接入和移动管理功能(access and mobility management function,AMF),还可以是其他能够实现AMF在本申请实施例中所起的作用的核心网设备,本申请对此不限制。

本实施例中,用户设备已经处于第一网络的RRC连接(RRC-connected)态,而处于第二网络的RRC空闲(RRC-idle)态,用户设备需要接入在接入装置下的第二网络中的某一个小区。某一时刻有第二网络的数据到达第二用户面功能网元,第二用户面功能网元触发第二核心网设备进行寻呼。
该寻呼的方法包括以下步骤。
S810,第二核心网设备向接入装置发送第一寻呼消息。接入装置接收来自第二核心网设备的第一寻呼消息。

进一步地,第一寻呼消息中包括的用户设备的第二标识列表可以通知接入装置寻呼的对象为上述的用户设备。例如,第一寻呼消息中包括用户设备在第二网络中的5G-S-TMSI、5G全球唯一临时标识(5G globally unique temporary identity,5G-GUTI)或用户设备的国际移动用户识别码(international mobile subscriber identification number,IMSI)等用户设备的标识中的至少一种。
进一步地,第一寻呼消息中包括的第二小区的标识列表使得接入装置通知用户设备可以接入第二网络中的哪些小区。进一步地,上述第一寻呼消息中还包括第二小区标识列表(cell ID list)、接入网设备标识列表(RAN Node ID list)和第二跟踪区号列表(TAC list)。其中,第二小区标识列表中包括的第二小区标识用于指示供用户设备接入的第二网络中的小区、接入网设备标识列表中包括的接入网设备标识用于指示用户设备能够通过哪些接入网设备接入小区、第二跟踪区号列表中包括的第二TAC用于指示供用户设备接入的小区所属的跟踪区(tracking area,TA)。
可选地,上述第一寻呼消息中还可以包括第二原因值(cause),该第二原因值用于指示第二网络寻呼用户设备的原因。也就是说,当第一寻呼消息中包括第二原因值的情况下,用户设备能够基于该第二原因值获知第二网络发起寻呼的原因。第二原因值可以协助用户设备快速定位寻呼消息发起的原因,分辨出寻呼场景,以便用户设备接下来快速做出合适的策略和动作。
可选地,上述第一寻呼消息中还可以包括第二时长(timer),该第二时长用于标识在第二时长内用户设备需要接入上述的第二网络中的小区。也就是说,当第一寻呼消息中包括第二时长的情况下,用户设备能够基于该第二时长获知第二网络期望用户设备响应寻呼的时间。第二时长为网络和终端侧接入网络提供时间门限参考值,例如,若终端设备收到寻呼消息时正在接收其他网络的业务,终端设备可以在时间门限内继续接收其他网络的业务,待临近时间门限时再接入寻呼网络,保证用户业务的连续性。
上述的第二原因值包括以下几种可能的形式:

第二核心网设备获知用户设备寻呼成功之后,第一网络中的第二用户面功能网元需要为用户设备配置会话资源,即图8所示的方法流程中还包括S840,接入装置和第二用户面功能网元为用户设备配置资源。
具体地,接入装置和第一用户面功能网元为用户设备配置会话资源之后,用户设备和接入装置通过用户设备已经接入的小区中的信令无线承载配置用户设备选择接入的第三小区需要的资源和/或参数。

所述第四参数和第五参数,可以由所述第二网络配置,例如,由所述第三小区配置,第三小区将配置参数传输给第一网络,第一网络经第一小区再传输给用户设备;也可以直接由所述第一网络配置,例如,由所述第一小区配置,第一小区将已有的用户上下文参数、安全和完整性保护信息的参数发送给用户设备,即所述第二网络复用所述第一网络中用户的上下文参数、安全和完整性保护信息的参数。
第一参数包括RACH,PRACH,preamble等指示随机接入第二网络中的第三小区的参数。

上述的第二消息中能够包括的参数只是举例,对本申请的保护范围并不构成任何限定,例如,第二消息中还可以包括用户设备在第二网络中其他相关的信息,这里不再一一举例说明。
一种可能的实现方式,接入装置通过第一消息为用户设备提供接入小区所需的信息,或者,通过第一消息通知第一网络中可以用于传输第二网络的数据的资源,例如:

一种可能的实现方式,用户设备接收到的寻呼消息是接入装置基于上述第一寻呼消息向用户设备发送的第四寻呼消息,该第四寻呼消息中包括的信息与第一寻呼消息中包括的类似,这里不再赘述。
另一种可能的实现方式,用户设备接收到的寻呼消息是接入装置基于上述第二寻呼消息向用户设备发送的第五寻呼消息,该第五寻呼消息中的信息与第二寻呼消息中包括的类似,这里不再赘述。

本申请实施例中对于第二核心网设备和接入装置之间传输上述第四小区的信息方式并不限制,可以是复用现有的信令,在现有的信令中增加第四小区的信息,还可以是在第二核心网设备和接入装置之间新增用于传输第四小区的信息的信令。
第二核心网设备获知用户设备寻呼成功之后,按照现有标准流程为用户设备配置接入第四小区的承载资源,这里不再赘述。
进一步地,当用户设备在第一网络中处于RRC-connected态之后,处理第二网络的寻呼可以参考图8所示的方法流程,接入装置利用已经建立的第一网络的SRB通过RRC消息帮助第二网络继续寻呼并为用户设备预配置SRB、DRB和PDU会话资源,这里不再详细说明。
图9所示的方法流程,考虑接入装置接收到不同的寻呼消息能够确定不同的寻呼消息寻呼同一个用户设备,在一些可能的情况下,接入装置接收到不同的寻呼消息之后,并不能判断该不同的寻呼消息寻呼同一个用户设备,下面结合图10详细说明,当接入装置接收到不同的寻呼消息不判断或无法判断该不同的寻呼消息寻呼同一个用户设备的情况。
图10是本申请实施例提供的又一种寻呼的方法示意性流程图。该流程中,执行主体包括第一用户面功能网元、第一核心网设备、第二用户面功能网元、第二核心网设备、接入装置和用户设备,其中,为了区别于用户设备,上述的第一用户面功能网元、第一核心网设备和接入装置可以统称为网络设备,上述的第二用户面功能网元、第二核心网设备和接入装置也可以统称为网络设备。
用户设备在接入装置支持接入的两个网络中均处于RRC-idle态。有第一网络的数据到达第一用户面功能网元和第二网络的数据到达第二用户面功能网元,具体地,第一用户面功能网元和第二用户面功能网元分别触发第一核心网设备和第二核心网设备进行寻呼。接入装置并不能识别来自不同网络的两个寻呼是在寻呼同一个用户设备,用户设备接收到第一网络和第二网络的寻呼后,先接入第一网络进入RRC-connected态,再将第二网络对用户设备的寻呼信息通知给接入装置,由先接入第一网络中的小区协助用户设备接入第二网络。
该寻呼的方法包括以下步骤。
S1010,第二核心网设备向接入装置发送第一寻呼消息。接入装置接收来自第二核心网设备的第一寻呼消息。

S1020,第一核心网设备向接入装置发送第二寻呼消息。接入装置接收来自第一核心网设备的第二寻呼消息。
第二寻呼消息与图9中S920中的第二寻呼消息类似,这里不再赘述。
上述的用户设备的第一标识和用户设备的第二标识可能不同,但是本实施例中,接入装置不知道用户设备的第一标识和用户设备的第二标识均标识同一个用户设备。
第一核心网设备向接入装置发送第二寻呼消息的原因可以是第二用户面功能网元接收到用户设备的数据,即图10所示的方法流程中还包括S1011,第二用户面功能网元接收第一数据。
同理,第二核心网设备向接入装置发送第一寻呼消息的原因可以是第一用户面功能网元接收到用户设备的数据,即图10所示的方法流程中还包括S1021,第一用户面功能网元接收第二数据。
当第一网络和第二网络共享核心网的情况下,上述的第一寻呼消息和第二寻呼消息为同一个核心网设备发送的寻呼消息,可以统称为第一寻呼消息。
进一步地,接入装置接收到上述的第一寻呼消息和第二寻呼消息之后需要寻呼用户设备,即图10所示的方法流程中还包括S1030:接入装置向用户设备发送第四寻呼消息。用户设备接收来自接入装置的第四寻呼消息。S1040:接入装置向用户设备发送第五寻呼消息。用户设备接收来自接入装置的第五寻呼消息。其中,第四寻呼消息与图9中所示的第四寻呼消息类似,第五寻呼消息与图9中所示的第五寻呼消息类似,这里不再赘述。
当第一网络和第二网络共享核心网的情况下,上述的第四寻呼消息和第五寻呼消息为同一个核心网设备发送的寻呼消息,可以统称为第一消息。
具体地,接入装置无法提前获知第一寻呼消息和第二寻呼消息需要寻呼的用户设备为同一个用户设备,则接入装置会在第一网络中的小区和第二网络中的小区中同时寻呼用户设备。
例如,上述第一寻呼消息中包括的用户设备的标识为第一5G-S-TMSI,第二寻呼消息中包括的用户设备的标识为第二5G-S-TMSI,接入装置在第二网络中的小区中发送第四寻呼消息,寻呼标识为第一5G-S-TMSI的用户设备;在第一网络中的小区中发送第五寻呼消息寻呼标识为第二5G-S-TMSI的用户设备。
进一步地,在接入装置分别在第一网络中的小区和第二网络中的小区中同时寻呼用户设备时,用户设备能够分别接收到来自第一网络中的小区和第二网络中的小区的寻呼(可以理解为该用户设备支持双无线(dual radio)或者用户设备可以通过不同SIM卡接入到不同的网络),用户设备接收到第四寻呼消息和第五寻呼消息。
进一步地,用户设备响应上述的第四寻呼消息或第五寻呼消息,接入对应的小区中。
一种可能的实现方式,用户设备接收到上述的第四寻呼消息和第五寻呼消息,确定首先响应第四寻呼消息。
另一种可能的实现方式,用户设备接收到上述的第四寻呼消息和第五寻呼消息,确定首先响应第五寻呼消息。
可选地,当用户设备响应第五寻呼消息在第一网络中处于RRC-connected态之后,处理第二网络的寻呼可以参考图8所示的方法流程。
上述的用户设备可以设置有多个SIM,例如,包括第一SIM卡和第二SIM卡。
其中,上述的用户设备的第一标识可以是用户设备的第一SIM卡在第二网络中的标识,用户设备的第二标识可以是用户设备的第二SIM卡在第一网络中的标识;或者,用户设备的第一标识可以是用户设备的第二SIM卡在第二网络中的标识,用户设备的第二标识可以是用户设备的第一SIM卡在第一网络中的标识;或者,用户设备的第一标识可以是用户设备的第一SIM卡在第二网络中的标识,用户设备的第二标识可以是用户设备的第一SIM卡在第一网络中的标识;或者,用户设备的第一标识可以是用户设备的第二SIM卡在第二网络中的标识,用户设备的第二标识可以是用户设备的第二SIM卡在第一网络中的标识。
对于一个用户设备拥有多SIM卡的情况下,用户设备可以是通过第一SIM卡连接在第一网络,通过第二SIM卡连接在第二网络,在该情况下,第一网络和第二网络可以相同,例如,第一SIM卡已经处于连接态之后,第一SIM卡协助第二SIM卡响应网络的寻呼。
具体地,第一网络通过S1020中所示的第二寻呼消息寻呼用户设备的第一SIM卡,第二网络通过S1010中所示的第一寻呼消息寻呼用户设备的第二SIM卡。
接入装置通过S1030中所示的第四寻呼消息告知用户设备第一网络在寻呼用户设备的第一SIM卡,接入装置通过S1040中所示的第五寻呼消息告知用户设备第二网络在寻呼用户设备的第二SIM卡。
一种可能的实现方式是:
用户设备响应上述的第五寻呼消息,使得用户设备通过第一SIM卡连接在第一网络。即图10所示的方法流程还包括S1050:用户设备响应第五寻呼消息。
当用户设备通过第一SIM卡连接在第一网络之后,第一SIM可以通过第一网络协助第二SIM连接在第二网络,包括以下几种可能:
可能一:用户设备的第二SIM卡随机接入第二网络的第三小区。即图10所示的方法流程还包括S1060:用户设备发起随机接入。
可能二:用户设备向接入装置发送第一响应消息,告知接入装置用户设备通过第一SIM卡连接在第一网络,接入装置通过第一网络向用户设备发送第二消息,在第二消息中第一网络通过用户设备的第一SIM卡将用户设备的第二SIM在第二网络中的第一参数、第二参数、第三参数、第四参数或第五参数发送给用户设备,用户设备将相应参数传输给第二SIM卡,第二SIM按照相应参数配置资源。
具体地,第二消息与上述第二消息类似,这里不再赘述。即图10所示的方法流程还包括S1070:用户设备向接入装置发送第一响应消息、S1080:接入装置通过第一网络向用户设备发送第二消息。用户设备通过第一网络接收来自接入装置的第二消息。
可能三:上述的第五寻呼消息中包括用户设备的第二SIM在第二网络中的第六参数、第七参数、第八参数、第九参数、或第十参数。
具体地,第五寻呼消息中包括的相应参数与图8中情况三所示的第一消息中包括的类似,这里不再赘述。
应当理解,本申请实施例中第一网络可以为PLMN、PNI-NPN、或SNPN中的任意一种网络,第二网络可以为PLMN、PNI-NPN、或SNPN任意一种网络。另外,在多SIM场景下,第一网络和第二网络可以为同一个PLMN、PNI-NPN、或SNPN网络,例 如,第一网络和第二网络为同一个PLMN网络寻呼同一终端设备的不同SIM卡。

在接入装置为包括DU和两个CU的情况下,DU和两个CU之间需要交互各自支持接入的网络。如图11和图12所示,这里不再赘述。下面结合图13举例说明当图8-图10中的接入装置包括CU和DU,并且CU和DU之间进行如图11和图12中所示的信令交互,获知对方能够支持接入的网络的情况下,如何实现用户设备响应不同的网络寻呼。
图13是本申请实施例提供的又一种寻呼的方法示意性流程图。该流程中,执行主体包括第一用户面功能网元、第一核心网设备、第二用户面功能网元、第二核心网设备、第一CU、第二CU、DU和用户设备,其中,为了区别于用户设备,上述的第一用户面功能网元、第一核心网设备、第一CU和DU可以统称为网络设备,上述的第二用户面功能网元、第二核心网设备、第二CU和DU也可以统称为网络设备。
用户设备在第一网络和第二网络中处于RRC-idle态,DU被第一CU和第二CU共用,DU配置有第一网络中的小区和第二网络中的小区。
