It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and, although The logical sequence is shown in the flowchart, but in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than here.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a message processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the method includes the following steps:

Step S102: The network side device sends a paging message to the terminal.

In step S104, the terminal receives the paging message and executes a first action. The first action includes: responding to the network-side entity for the paging message within the first time period.

In this embodiment, the paging message may come from a network-side entity, and the network-side entity may include a core network and a base station. The terminal may receive the above-mentioned paging message and determine whether it needs to respond to the paging message, and the process of determining whether to respond to the paging message by the terminal may last a long time. The terminal of this embodiment may perform the first action. It may include responding to a paging message to the network-side entity within the first time period. Optionally, the terminal of this embodiment introduces a timer (Timer), which can be started when the terminal receives a paging message. If the terminal determines to respond to the paging message within the first time period, it can respond to the network entity For paging messages, if it is still not determined whether the terminal needs to respond to the paging message when the first duration expires, the terminal is immediately triggered to respond to the paging message to the network-side entity, thereby avoiding long waiting for the terminal to determine whether to respond to the paging message , So that the network entity may mistakenly believe that the terminal cannot be paged, which solves the technical problem of low efficiency in determining the response to the paging message, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the efficiency of determining the response to the paging message, and ensuring that the terminal effectively responds to the network side entity.

Step S106, the above step S102 is an optional step. In the case that the terminal has received the paging message, the network side device may not need to send the paging message again.

In this embodiment, when the paging message is sent from the core network to the terminal, it can be received by the AS layer first. The AS layer can send the content of the Paging cause parameter in the paging message to the NAS layer, and the NAS layer forwards the operation The system layer and/or application layer asks whether to respond to the above paging message, and can indicate the content of the Paging cause parameter to the operating system layer and/or application layer. The content of the operating system layer and/or application layer Paging cause parameter determines whether to respond to the paging message. The paging message can reply to the NAS layer whether it responds to the paging message, that is, the operating system layer and/or the application layer indicate whether the NAS layer responds. If the operating system layer and/or application layer instructs the NAS layer to reply, it will be triggered NAS message and trigger the AS layer to establish an RRC connection. If the NAS layer still does not receive a reply from the operating system layer and/or the application layer within the first period of time, the NAS layer immediately responds to the network entity with the paging message.

Optionally, in this embodiment, without the participation of the NAS layer, the AS layer can directly interact with the operating system layer and/or the application layer, and the AS layer can directly indicate the content of the Paging cause parameter after receiving the paging message To the operating system layer and/or application layer, the content of the operating system layer and/or application layer Paging cause parameter determines whether to respond to the paging message, and reply to the AS layer whether to reply to the paging message, if the AS layer is within the first period of time Still not receiving a reply from the operating system layer and/or the application layer, the AS layer immediately responds to the paging message to the network-side entity, thereby ensuring that the terminal effectively replies to the network-side entity.

In this embodiment, the conditions for responding to paging messages can be set in advance, and then it is determined whether the operating system layer and/or application layer of the terminal determine whether the content of the Paging Cause parameter meets the conditions for responding to paging messages. If it is determined that the operating system The layer and/or application layer determines that the content of the PagingCause parameter meets the conditions for responding to the paging message, then determines to respond to the paging message; if it is determined that the operating system layer and/or the application layer determines that the content of the PagingCause parameter does not satisfy the response to the paging message When the conditions are met, it is determined not to respond to paging messages.

As an optional implementation manner, the NAS layer receives the paging message and performs the first action step, which corresponds to the terminal being in the idle connection management state CM-IDLE state; the AS layer receives the paging message and executes the first action step, Corresponds to the RRC-Inactive state of the terminal being in the connection management state.

In this embodiment, the internal processing mode of the terminal may include internal interaction in the CM-IDLE state and internal interaction in the RRC-Inactive state. Among them, when the terminal is in the CM-IDLE state, the connection between the terminal and the base station and the N2 connection between the base station and the core network are both released; when the terminal is in the RRC-Inactive state, the connection between the terminal and the base station Is released, but the N2 connection of the terminal has not been released.

The step of receiving the paging message and executing the first action by the NAS layer in this embodiment may correspond to the internal interaction of the terminal in the CM-IDLE state. Optionally, when the terminal is in the CM-IDLE state and the AS layer receives the paging message, the NAS layer is notified that the paging message is received. If the paging message contains the PagingCause parameter, then the PagingCause parameter is set The content of is also notified to the NAS layer. The NAS layer can ask the operating system layer and/or application layer whether to respond to the paging message, and indicate the content of the PagingCause parameter to the operating system layer and/or application layer, the operating system layer and/or The application layer determines whether to respond to the paging message according to the content of the Paging Cause parameter.

In this embodiment, if the terminal is in the RRC-Inactive state, and the paging message contains the PagingCause parameter, the interaction process can be the same as the foregoing interaction process when the terminal is in the CM-IDLE state, and the paging message does not include In the case of the Paging Cause parameter, the NAS layer does not need to participate, and the AS layer can directly interact with the operating system layer and/or the application layer.

Optionally, in this embodiment, in the case that the operating system layer and/or the application layer determine to respond to the paging message, if the terminal is in the CM-IDLE state, the NAS layer may trigger the NAS message (for example, Service Request) The AS layer establishes a radio resource control (Radio Resource Connection, referred to as RRC) connection with the base station, and sends the NAS layer NAS message to the core network through the connection when the RRC connection is established; if the terminal is in In the RRC-Inactive state, only the RRC connection can be established.

As an optional implementation manner, responding to the paging message to the network-side entity includes at least one of the following: sending a Service Request message to the network-side entity; sending a radio resource control recovery RRC Connection Resume Request message to the base station; instructing the terminal not to Trigger the RRC Connection Resume process or the Service Request process; indicate the refusal to respond to the paging message; instruct the network entity to stop sending the paging message.

In this embodiment, the terminal receives the paging message and responds to the paging message to the network-side entity within the first time period. The response to the paging message may be that the terminal sends a Service Request message to the network-side entity. The Service Request message It is a type of NAS message that can be used to establish a user plane connection so that the terminal can send and receive user plane data with the network side entity.

The way of responding to the paging message in this embodiment may also establish a connection between the terminal and the base station in advance, and send an RRC Resume Request message to the base station.

The paging response message in this embodiment may also indicate that the terminal has currently received the paging message, but cannot trigger the RRC Connection Resume process to the network-side entity, or does not trigger the Service Request process to the network-side entity, that is, this embodiment The response to the paging message may be to determine that the terminal has received the paging message, but does not trigger the RRC Connection Resume process or the Service Request process. Among them, the RRC Connection Resume process corresponds to that when the terminal is in the RRC-Inactive state, the AS layer of the terminal triggers an RRC connection recovery request to the base station to establish an RRC connection between the AS layer and the base station, and can subsequently establish DRB user data Transmission: The Service Request process corresponds to that when the terminal is in the CM-IDLE state, the NAS layer of the terminal triggers a Service Request request to the core network to establish a user plane connection, which may include DRB user data transmission and establishment of a core network tunnel.

The paging response message of this embodiment can also be used to instruct the terminal to refuse to respond to the paging message, it can be to refuse to perform related processing on the paging response information, and it can send a Reject indication to the network-side entity to display the paging rejection message. , That is, the terminal will not send NAS messages to establish a user plane connection.

The way of responding to the paging message in this embodiment may also be to instruct the network-side entity to stop sending the paging message to the terminal, so that the terminal cannot receive the paging message again next.

It should be noted that the response to the paging message in this embodiment includes, but is not limited to, sending a Service Request message to the network-side entity, and sending an RRC Connection Request message to the base station, indicating that the terminal does not trigger the RRC Connection Resume process or the Service Request process. , Refuse to respond to the paging message and instruct the network entity to stop sending the paging message. The above method of responding to the paging message is only an example of the embodiment of the present invention, and does not mean that the method of responding to the paging message in the embodiment of the present invention is only For the foregoing, any manner of replying to the paging information when the terminal receives the paging message is within the scope of this embodiment, and will not be illustrated one by one here.

As an optional implementation manner, the first duration is obtained in one of the following ways: obtained from the NAS message received by the terminal; obtained from the AS message received by the terminal; configured to the terminal at the operating system layer and/or application layer NAS layer or AS layer.

As an optional example of the foregoing, the first duration is obtained from a NAS message from the core network received by the terminal. The NAS message may be a Registration Request Reply (Registration Accept) message, or a UE Configuration Update Command (UE Configuration Update Command, referred to as UCU) message; the first duration can also be obtained from the AS message received by the terminal from the base station, and the AS message can include the RRC Connection Reconfiguration message; the first duration can also be at the terminal’s operating system layer and/ Or the application layer is configured to the terminal's NAS layer or AS layer.

In this embodiment, the timer and its first duration can be preset for the terminal to use when receiving a paging message. In this embodiment, the first duration may be obtained from the NAS message received by the terminal. Optionally, the first duration may be configured by the core network in the NAS message, and the terminal may obtain the first duration from the received NAS message sent by the core network layer. . Optionally, the first duration of this embodiment may include, but is not limited to, obtaining configuration from UE Configuration Update Command (UE Configuration Update Command, UCU for short), Registration Request Reply (Registration Accept), etc., for example, It is configured through the RRC Setup (RRC Setup) message.

In this embodiment, the first duration may also be obtained from the AS message received by the terminal. Optionally, the first duration may be configured by the base station in the AS message, and the terminal may obtain the first duration from the received AS message sent by the base station.

Optionally, the terminal of this embodiment can also configure the first duration by itself, and the first duration can be configured to the NAS layer or AS layer of the terminal through the operating system layer and/or application layer of the terminal, for example, through the IP multimedia subsystem The (IP Multimedia Subsystem, IMS for short) configures the first duration to the NAS layer or AS layer of the terminal, or it may be pre-configured by the NAS layer or AS layer itself.

As an example of an application scenario of the above message processing method, when the terminal receives a paging message, it asks the user whether to respond to the paging message. If the user does not confirm the delay, then when the time reaches the first duration , The terminal automatically replies the paging message to the network entity. For example, the NAS layer receives a paging message and starts a timer. Because the NAS layer also asks the operating system and/or application layer whether to reply to the paging message, if there is no response, then when the timer reaches the set time The NAS layer will respond to the paging message to the network-side entity during the first period of time. In addition, when the timer reaches the first set duration, even if the NAS layer receives a reply from the operating system and/or the application layer, since it has already responded to the paging message to the network-side entity, it will no longer be considered. It is beneficial to avoid waiting for a long time for the terminal to determine whether to respond to a paging message, so that the network-side entity may mistakenly believe that the terminal cannot be paged, which improves the efficiency of determining a response to a paging message.

The embodiment of the present invention also provides another message processing method for the interaction between the operating system and/or application layer of the terminal and the NAS layer or AS.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of another message processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 2, the method may include:

Step S202: The operating system layer and/or the application layer of the terminal sends the first information to the non-access stratum NAS layer or the access stratum AS layer of the terminal.

Step S204, the non-access stratum NAS layer or the access stratum AS layer of the terminal determines whether to respond to the paging message according to the first information of the operating system layer and/or application layer of the terminal, where the first information includes at least one of the following: Whether to respond to paging messages, services that need to respond to paging messages, and services that do not need to respond to paging messages.

In this embodiment, the operating system and/or application layer may send first information to the NAS layer or AS layer of the terminal. The first information may be determined by the operating system and/or application layer to respond to paging messages, or It is a service determined by the operating system and/or application layer that needs to respond to paging messages, and it can also be a service determined by the operating system and/or application layer that does not need to respond to paging messages.

The NAS layer or AS layer of the terminal receives the above-mentioned first information, and determines whether to respond to the paging message according to the first information, so this embodiment clarifies the interaction relationship between the NAS layer or AS layer of the terminal and the operating system and/or application layer According to the requirements of the operating system and/or the application layer, whether to respond to the paging message can be determined, thereby solving the technical problem of low efficiency in determining the response to the paging message, and achieving the technical effect of improving the efficiency of determining the response to the paging message.

Step S206, the above step S202 is an optional way. In the case that the NAS layer or AS layer of the terminal has received the first information, the operating system layer and/or application layer may not need to send the NAS layer or AS layer to the terminal. Send the first message.

The above method of this embodiment will be further introduced below.

As an optional implementation manner, the NAS layer or AS layer of the terminal further determines whether to respond to the paging message according to the second information of the operating system and/or application layer of the terminal, where the second information includes at least one of the following: Whether there are ongoing services, whether the terminal is using other global user identity module USIM cards for services, and the types of services.

In this embodiment, the operating system and/or application layer may send second information to the NAS layer or AS layer of the terminal, and the second information may be whether the terminal has ongoing operations determined by the operating system and/or application layer. Service, whether the terminal is using other USIM cards for service, and the type of service. Among them, whether the terminal is using other USIM cards for services can be understood as whether the terminal user is using other USIM cards for services.

The NAS layer or AS layer of the terminal receives the above second information, and determines whether to respond to the paging message according to the second information, so this embodiment clarifies the interaction between the NAS layer or AS layer of the terminal and the operating system and/or application layer According to the requirements of the operating system and/or the application layer, whether to respond to the paging message can be determined, thereby solving the technical problem of low efficiency in determining the response to the paging message, and achieving the technical effect of improving the efficiency of determining the response to the paging message.

As an optional implementation manner, upon receiving the paging message, the NAS layer or the AS layer instructs the operating system layer and/or the application layer to send first information to confirm whether to respond to the paging message, where the operating system layer And/or the application layer indicates whether the NAS layer or the AS layer responds to the paging message.

In this embodiment, the NAS layer of the terminal can receive a paging message, which can be a paging message transmitted by the AS layer. For example, when the AS layer receives a paging message, it can notify the NAS layer to receive the paging message. . When the NAS layer receives the paging message, the NAS layer may instruct the operating system layer and/or the application layer to send the first message to confirm whether to respond to the paging message, and then the operating system layer and/or application layer may indicate whether the NAS layer responds Paging message.

Optionally, this embodiment may also not require the participation of the NAS layer, and only receive the paging message through the AS layer of the access layer. For example, for a terminal in the RRC-Inactive state, when the paging message does not contain the PagingCause parameter, the NAS layer does not need to participate; and when the paging message contains the PagingCause parameter, you can use the terminal in the CM -Interaction process in IDLE state, or the AS layer directly interacts with the terminal's operating system layer and/or application layer without the NAS layer participating. The AS layer instructs the operating system layer and/or when a paging message is received The application layer sends the first information to confirm whether to respond to the paging message, and then the operating system layer and/or the application layer indicate whether the AS layer responds to the paging message.

As an optional implementation manner, the NAS layer or the AS layer obtains the first information and/or the second information configured or updated at the operating system layer and/or the application layer; when a paging message is received at the NAS layer or the AS layer Next, the NAS layer or the AS layer determines whether to respond to the paging message according to the first information and/or the second information.

In this embodiment, the above-mentioned first information and/or second information may be configured or updated in the operating system layer and/or application layer in advance, and the original first information and/or second information may be based on the end user's The configuration or update is performed on the operating system layer and/or the application layer.

Among them, since end users may frequently use other USIM cards for services, and the operating system layer and/or application layer need to often inform the NAS layer or AS layer, the frequency of the configuration or update of the second information may be higher than that of the first information. The frequency of configuration or update of a piece of information.

For example, after the NAS layer obtains the first information, the operating system layer and/or the application layer can inform the NAS layer that terminal users are using other USIM cards for services each time, and the NAS layer will start using the first information to determine Whether to perform actions that require replying to paging messages. When the operating system layer and/or the application layer are updated again to inform the NAS layer that the end user is not using other USIM cards for services, the NAS layer can close the above actions.

As an optional implementation manner, the NAS layer or the AS layer obtains the first information configured or updated at the operating system layer and/or the application layer; when the NAS layer or the AS layer receives the paging message, the NAS layer or the AS layer The layer determines whether to respond to the paging message according to the first information.

The first information is configured at the system layer and/or the application layer, and the first information may be configured in advance at the operating system layer and/or the application layer. Optionally, the above-mentioned first information may be priority service information configured or updated on the operating system layer and/or application layer in advance by the terminal user, and the priority service information may be a service that needs to respond to a paging message, thereby determining the terminal Which services trigger paging messages can be received; this embodiment can also pop up a dialog box in real time when a paging message arrives to ask the terminal user whether to respond to it.

Optionally, the above-mentioned first information is information indicating whether the current terminal is in a dual-card or multi-card mode to the NAS layer of the terminal by the operating system layer and/or the application layer of the terminal. If the terminal is in the dual card mode, two or more Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) cards on the terminal all complete the registration process with the network.

Optionally, the above-mentioned first information is information for the operating system layer and/or the application layer to indicate to the NAS layer of the terminal whether the current terminal user is using another USIM card to perform services and/or the types of services performed.

After the first information configured or updated at the operating system layer and/or application layer, when the NAS layer of the terminal is in the CM-IDLE state, and the AS layer of the terminal receives paging information, the AS layer can The paging message is sent to the NAS layer; the NAS layer determines whether to respond to the paging message according to one or more items of first information indicated by the operating system layer and/or the application layer.

When the operating system layer and/or the application layer configure or update the first information, the NAS layer or the AS layer obtains the above first information, so that when the NAS layer or the AS layer receives the paging message, the NAS layer or the AS layer The layer determines whether to respond to the paging message according to the first information, that is, the NAS layer or the AS layer determines whether to respond to the paging message, the service that needs to respond to the paging message, and the service that does not need to respond to the paging message. Whether to respond to paging messages.

A paging message triggered by a data packet. The terminal can determine what service triggered the paging message according to the content of the Paging Cause parameter to determine whether to respond to the paging message.

In this embodiment, the NAS layer may send the content of the Paging Cause parameter to the operating system layer and/or the application layer. Optionally, when the paging message is sent from the core network to the terminal, it can be received by the AS layer first. The AS layer can send the content of the Paging cause parameter in the paging message to the NAS layer, and the NAS layer sends it to the operating system layer. And/or the application layer asks whether to respond to the above paging message, and can send the content of the Paging cause parameter to the operating system layer and/or application layer, the content of the operating system layer and/or application layer Paging cause parameter and/or the user is in progress The service confirms whether to respond to the paging message and confirms whether to respond to the paging message, and can reply to the NAS layer, that is, the operating system layer and/or application layer indicate whether the NAS layer responds, if the operating system layer and/or application layer indicate When the NAS layer replies, it triggers the NAS message and triggers the AS layer to establish an RRC connection.

In this embodiment, the content of the Paging Cause parameter may also be sent to the operating system layer and/or the application layer through the AS layer. Optionally, in the embodiment, without the participation of the NAS layer, the AS layer can directly interact with the operating system layer and/or the application layer. Upon receiving the paging message, the AS layer can directly indicate the content of the Paging cause parameter to The operating system layer and/or application layer, the content of the Paging cause parameter at the operating system layer and/or application layer and/or the user's ongoing service confirms whether to respond to a paging message.

As an optional implementation manner, the NAS layer or the AS layer determines whether to respond to the paging message according to the first information and the content of the Paging Cause parameter, where the Paging Cause parameter is included in the paging message.

In this embodiment, when determining whether to respond to a paging message, the NAS layer or AS layer not only determines whether to respond to the paging message according to the content of the PagingCause parameter, but also determines whether to respond to the paging message according to the first information, that is, Optionally, the first information pre-configured at the system layer and/or application layer includes voice and video. If the content of the Paging Cause parameter is voice, and the NAS layer is notified that the terminal user is currently using another USIM card to access the Internet During the service, the NAS or AS layer confirms to reply to the paging message; if the content of the Paging Cause parameter is a short message, the NAS or AS layer confirms not to reply to the paging message, or reply to the network entity with a rejection message; or The content of the Paging Cause parameter is sent to the operating system layer and/or the application layer, waiting for the operating system layer and/or the application layer to further determine whether to reply to the paging message.

As an optional implementation manner, the method further includes: the NAS layer or the AS layer receives the first information and sends a first instruction to the network-side entity, where the network-side entity is configured to determine whether it is necessary to log in according to the first instruction. The PagingCause parameter is added to the paging message, where the NAS layer or the AS layer determines whether to respond to the paging message according to the first information and the content of the PagingCause parameter, where the PagingCause parameter is included in the paging message.

In this embodiment, on the basis of the above solution, the terminal can determine in advance whether the network side entity is required to send the Paging Cause parameter. In this case, when the NAS layer or AS layer receives the first information, it can send the Paging Cause parameter to the network side. The entity sends the first instruction, and the network entity can determine whether it is necessary to add the PagingCause parameter to the paging message according to the first instruction, so that the network entity can reduce unnecessary network resource overhead, for example, reduce the overhead of data packet inspection , It also saves the overhead of air interface signaling.

For example, the NAS layer of the terminal of this embodiment may send a NAS message (such as a registration request) containing a first indication, and the core network element may determine whether it is necessary to use the first indication when the terminal is in the CM-IDLE state. The Paging Cause parameter is added to the Paging parameter, or the AS layer of the terminal can send an AS message (such as an RRC message), or the base station determines whether it is necessary to add the Paging Cause parameter to the Paging parameter when the terminal is in the RRC-Inacive state according to the first indication , Which can reduce unnecessary network resource overhead on the network side.

The operating system layer and/or the application layer determine whether to respond to the query result of the paging message based on the message, and then output the query result, clarifying the operating system And/or the role of the application layer in determining whether to respond to the paging message solves the technical problem of low efficiency in determining the response to the paging message, and achieves the technical effect of improving the efficiency of determining the response to the paging message.

As an optional implementation manner, displaying the message in the interactive interface includes: displaying the content of the paging cause parameter in the interactive interface, where the message includes the content of the PagingCause parameter, and the content of the PagingCause is included in the paging News.

In this embodiment, in order for the terminal to effectively determine whether to reply when receiving a paging message, this embodiment can introduce the PagingCause parameter in the paging message to enhance the paging message. The content of the PagingCause parameter can be Displayed on the interactive interface, it can indicate to the terminal what kind of service the downlink data packet triggers the paging message. Optionally, the downlink data in this embodiment is triggered by a downlink IMS voice data packet. When sending a paging message, the network entity can indicate that its content is "IMS Voice" in the Paging Cause parameter in the paging message. ", you can display "IMS Voice" on the interactive interface.

As an optional implementation manner, displaying a message in an interactive interface includes: displaying information about a service in the interactive interface, where the message includes information about the service, and the service is used to trigger a paging message.

In this embodiment, it is not only possible to determine whether to respond to a paging message based on the content of PagingCause, but also to determine whether to respond to a paging message according to the service the user is doing. This embodiment can display service information in the interactive interface. The service information may be the service information that needs to respond to the paging message pre-configured at the operating system layer and/or the application layer of the terminal.

In this embodiment, the network-side device may send a paging message to the terminal, which may include the network-side device in the core network and the base station. The terminal can receive the above-mentioned paging message and determine whether it needs to respond to the paging message.

Step S404: The network side device receives the result of the terminal responding to the paging message within the first time period.

In this embodiment, when receiving the paging message sent by the network side device, the terminal determines whether to respond to the paging message. The process of determining whether to respond to the paging message may last a long time. Optionally, this embodiment introduces a timer to the terminal, which can be started when the terminal receives a paging message. If the terminal determines to respond to the paging message within the first time period, the network-side device can receive the terminal’s first The result of responding to the paging message within the duration. If it is detected that the first duration expires and it is still not determined whether the terminal needs to respond to the paging message, the terminal will directly respond to the paging message to the network side device within the first duration, and the network side device The receiving terminal directly responds to the result of the paging message within the first time length, thereby avoiding long waiting for the terminal to determine whether to respond to the paging message, so that the network entity may mistakenly believe that the terminal cannot be paged, which solves the problem of determining the response to paging. The technical problem of low message efficiency further achieves the technical effect of improving the efficiency of determining the response to the paging message, and ensures that the network side device effectively receives the result that the terminal responds to the paging message within the first time period.

The result of the network side device receiving the terminal directly responding to the paging message within the first time duration in this embodiment may include at least one of the following: the network side entity receives the Service Request message sent by the terminal; the base station receives the RRC Connection Resume Request message sent by the terminal; The network-side device receives the result that the terminal does not trigger the RRC Connection Resume process or the Service Request process; the network-side device receives the result that the terminal refuses to respond to paging messages; the network-side device receives the result that the terminal stops sending paging messages.

It should be noted that the result of the network-side device receiving terminal directly responding to the paging message within the first period of time in this embodiment includes but is not limited to the above method. The above method is only an example of the embodiment of the present invention and does not represent the present invention. The result of the network-side device receiving the terminal's response to the paging message in the embodiment of the invention is only the above. Any way that the terminal can respond to the paging message when the terminal receives the paging message so that the network-side device receives the corresponding result is all Within the scope of this embodiment, no further examples are given here.

Example 2

The technical solution in Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be further exemplified below in conjunction with preferred embodiments.

The paging process is used when the terminal is in the CM-IDLE state or the RRC-Inactive state, when downlink user plane data arrives at the network-side entity, the network-side entity sends a paging message to find the terminal, and the terminal receives the paging message and initiates a NAS message (such as , Service Request) or AS messages (for example, RRC Resume) to establish a user plane connection to transmit data.

Fig. 5 is an interactive schematic diagram of a paging process when a terminal is in a CM-IDLE state according to related technologies. As shown in Figure 5, the method includes the following steps:

Step S501: The core network sends a paging message to a radio access network (Radio Access Network, RAN for short).

Step S502: The radio access network transmits the paging message to the terminal.

In step S503, the terminal confirms to reply to the paging message.

Step S504: The terminal establishes an RRC connection with the radio access network.

Step S505: The terminal sends a service request to the core network.

Fig. 6 is an interactive schematic diagram of a paging process in which a terminal is in an RRC-Inactive state according to related technologies. As shown in Figure 6, the method includes the following steps:

Step S601: The core network sends downlink user plane data to the RAN.

Step S602: The RAN sends a paging message to the terminal based on the downlink user plane data.

In step S603, the terminal confirms to reply to the paging message.

Step S604, the terminal establishes an RRC connection with the RAN.

In order to enable the terminal to respond to the paging message more effectively, the PagingCause parameter can be added to Paging. The PagingCause parameter is used to indicate what kind of service downlink data packets have reached the network, and the paging message is triggered, and the terminal can follow the Paging The Cause parameter determines what service triggered the paging message to determine whether to respond.

Fig. 7 is an interactive schematic diagram of a paging process carrying a Paging Cause parameter when a terminal is in a CM-IDLE state according to related technologies. As shown in Figure 7, the method includes the following steps:

Step S701: The core network sends a paging message carrying the Paging Cause parameter to the RAN.

Step S702: The RAN transmits the paging message carrying the Paging Cause parameter to the terminal.

Step S703: The terminal confirms whether to reply to the paging message according to the content of the Paging Cause parameter.

In step S704, the terminal establishes an RRC connection with the RAN.

Step S705: The terminal sends a service request to the core network.

Fig. 8 is an interactive schematic diagram of a paging process in which a terminal is in an RRC-Inactive state according to related technologies. As shown in Figure 8, the method includes the following steps:

Step S801: The core network sends downlink user plane data carrying the Paging Cause parameter and other parameters to the RAN.

The aforementioned downlink user plane data may carry the Paging Cause parameter, and may also carry other parameters. If the downlink user plane data carries other parameters, the PagingCause parameter can be further derived at the base station according to the other parameters. Optionally, other parameters may be the content included in the Type of Service (TOS) field in the IP data packet header.

Step S802: The RAN sends a paging message carrying the Paging Cause parameter to the terminal based on the downlink user plane data.

Step S803: The terminal confirms whether to reply to the paging message according to the content of the Paging Cause parameter.

Step S804, the terminal establishes an RRC connection with the RAN.

Fig. 9 is a schematic flowchart of a method for processing a paging message in the related art. As shown in Figure 9, the method includes:

Step S901: After the terminal is in the CM-IDLE state and receives the paging message, the AS layer sends the paging message to the NAS layer.

Step S902, the NAS layer triggers a reply message.

The AS layer receives an instruction from the NAS layer, first establishes an RRC connection with the base station, and then sends the NAS message to the core network.

The above method does not have a protection mechanism to allow the terminal to reply to the paging message on the network side within a certain time limit, so that the network side will mistakenly believe that the terminal cannot be paged; in addition, when the PagingCause parameter is introduced, it does not Be clear about how the terminal uses the PagingCause parameter after receiving it, the protocol stack interaction within the terminal, especially how the interaction between the operating system layer and/or application layer and the NAS layer or AS layer is carried out, and there is a certain response to paging Technical problem of low message efficiency.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a timer is introduced in the terminal to protect the paging information process (that is, the paging message must be returned after the timer expires); after the terminal receives the PagingCause parameter, the terminal Internal processing methods (including internal interactions in the two states of CM-IDLE and RRC-Inactive); the terminal can send instructions to enable the PagingCause parameter addition behavior of the network-side entity.

The method of introducing a timer in the terminal to realize the protection of the paging information process of this embodiment will be described below with an example.

In this embodiment, a timer is introduced in the terminal, and the terminal starts after receiving the paging message.

Since the process of the terminal confirming whether to respond to the paging message may last a long time, and if it is not determined for a long time, the network-side entity may mistakenly believe that the terminal cannot be paged. Therefore, this embodiment introduces a timer, and the terminal must respond to the paging message Paging when the first time period is equal to or longer than the first time period after receiving the paging message.

Fig. 10 is an interactive schematic diagram of a method for replying to a paging message after introducing a timer according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 10, the method may include the following steps:

Step S1001: The core network sends downlink user plane data carrying the Paging Cause parameter or other parameters to the RAN, or sends a paging message.

In this embodiment, the downlink user plane data can carry the PagingCause parameter, and can also carry other parameters. If the downlink user plane data carries other parameters, the PagingCause parameter can be further derived at the base station according to the other parameters. Optionally, other parameters may be the content contained in the TOS field of the IP data packet header.

Step S1002: The RAN sends a paging message carrying the Paging Cause parameter to the terminal based on the downlink user plane data or the paging message.

Step S1003: The terminal determines whether to reply to the paging message within the first time period corresponding to the timer according to the content of the Paging Cause parameter.

Step S1004, the terminal responds to the paging message to the RAN.

Step S1005: The terminal responds to the core network with a paging message.

In this embodiment, for the terminal in the CM-IDLE state, after the NAS layer receives the paging message sent by the AS layer, the NAS layer starts a timer, if the timer expires (that is, greater than or equal to the first time) , The NAS layer needs to reply to the Paging message immediately. The paging response message includes at least one of the following:

In response to a paging message, a NAS message is sent to the network-side entity, for example, a Service Request message is sent. The Service Request message is used to establish a user-plane connection so that the terminal can send and receive user-plane data with the network-side entity;

In response to the paging message, it sends an RRC Connection Resume message to the base station;

Indicate to the network side device that the terminal currently receives a paging message, but cannot trigger the RRC Connection Resume process or the Service Request process;

Indicate the rejection of the paging message, send a Reject instruction to the network side device, and display the rejection message, that is, no NAS message will be sent to establish a user plane connection.

This embodiment also includes implicitly rejecting the paging message, that is, not replying to any message, even if the subsequent operating system layer and/or application layer informs the NAS that it needs to reply to the paging message).

Fig. 11 is a schematic flowchart of a method for processing a paging message according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 11, the method may include the following steps:

In step S1101, the NAS layer receives the paging message sent by the AS layer.

In step S1102, the NAS layer starts a timer and asks the operating system and/or the application layer whether to respond to the paging message.

In step S1103, if the timer expires (that is, greater than or equal to the first time), the NAS layer needs to immediately reply to the paging message and respond to the network entity.

In this embodiment, for the terminal in the CM-IDLE state, after the NAS layer receives the paging message sent by the AS layer, the NAS layer starts a timer. If the timer expires (that is, greater than or equal to the first time), the NAS layer starts a timer. The layer needs to reply to the Paging message immediately.

Similarly, in this embodiment, for the terminal in the RRC-Inactive state, when the AS layer receives the paging message, it starts the timer and executes related actions.

In this embodiment, the method for setting the first duration corresponding to the timer may be as follows: the core network layer sends the set first duration to the terminal through a NAS message or an AS message for the terminal to use when subsequently receiving paging messages; The terminal configures itself (for example, the first duration is pre-configured at the NAS layer, or configured to the NAS layer at the operating system and/or application layer (IMS layer)); the first duration is configured through NAS messages or AS messages, which can be through The registration request reply message, the UE configuration update command, or the RRC setup message configures the first duration.

This embodiment introduces a timer through the above method. When the terminal receives a paging message, it must respond to the paging message within the first time period, which is beneficial to avoid waiting for a long time for the terminal to determine whether to respond to the paging message, so that the network side The entity may mistakenly think that the terminal cannot be paged, which improves the efficiency of determining the response to the paging message.

It should be noted that this embodiment introduces a timer mechanism, which is not only suitable for processing after receiving a paging message, but also for other processing carried in a paging message.

The method of the internal interaction behavior of the terminal of this embodiment is described below with an example.

In this embodiment, the Paging cause parameter is added to the paging message, that is, to indicate which service triggers the paging message of the terminal. For example, if a downlink message is triggered by a downlink IMS voice data packet, when the network entity sends a paging message, it indicates that its content is "IMS voice" in the Paging Cause parameter in the Paging message.

In addition, after the paging message of this embodiment is sent to the terminal, it can be received by the AS layer of the terminal, and the content of the Paging cause parameter in the paging message is sent to the NAS layer, and the NAS layer then asks the operating system layer and /Or the application layer determines whether to reply to the Paging message, and if it does, it triggers the NAS message and triggers the establishment of an RRC connection between the AS layer and the base station.

In this embodiment, for the terminal in the RRC-Inactive state, if the Paging Cause parameter is not included, the NAS layer does not need to participate. In the case of including PagingCause, the interaction process of the terminal in the CM-IDLE state can also be used, or the AS layer can directly interact with the operating system layer and/or the application layer without the participation of the NAS layer.

Fig. 12 is an interactive schematic diagram of a paging process when a terminal is in a CM-IDLE state according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 12, the method may include the following steps:

Step S1201: When the terminal is in the CM-IDLE state, after receiving the Paging message, the AS layer notifies the NAS layer that the paging message is received. If the paging message contains the Paging Cause parameter, then the content of the Paging Cause parameter is also notified to NAS layer.

In step S1202, the NAS layer inquires whether the operating system layer and/or the application layer respond to the paging message, and can indicate the content of the PagingCause parameter to the operating system layer and/or the application layer.

In step S1203, the operating system layer and/or the application layer determines whether to respond to the paging message.

The operating system layer and/or application layer can determine whether to respond to the paging message based on the configuration of the end user. For example, the user configures in advance which services trigger paging messages to receive, or when a paging message arrives, a real-time dialog box will pop up Ask the user whether to respond.

Optionally, the operating system layer and/or application layer of this embodiment is not only based on the content of the PagingCause parameter, but also can determine whether to respond to the paging message according to the service currently being performed by the terminal.

Step S1204: When the terminal is in the CM-IDLE state, the NAS layer triggers the sending of a NAS message (for example, Service Request).

The AS layer establishes an RRC connection with the base station, and after the RRC connection is established, sends the NAS message of the NAS layer to the core network through the connection.

In this embodiment, if the terminal is in the RRC-Inactive state, only the RRC connection between the AS layer and the base station can be established.

Fig. 13 is an interactive schematic diagram of another paging process when a terminal is in a CM-IDLE state according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 13, the method may include the following steps:

Step S1301 occurs before the subsequent steps S1302-S1303, and is used to complete at least one of the following:

1) The operating system layer and/or the application layer have configured the NAS layer with priority service information in advance, and the priority service information is a service that needs to respond to paging messages.

2) The operating system layer and/or the application layer indicate to the NAS layer of the terminal whether the current terminal is in a dual-card or multi-card mode. If the terminal is in the dual card mode, the two or more USIM cards on the terminal complete the registration process with the network.

3) The operating system layer and/or the application layer indicate to the NAS layer of the terminal whether the current terminal user is using other USIM cards to perform services and/or types of services performed.

Step S1302: When the NAS layer of the terminal is in the CM-IDLE state, and the AS layer of the terminal receives the paging information, the AS layer sends the paging message to the NAS layer, and the paging message can carry Paging Cause The content of the parameter.

In step S1303, the NAS layer determines whether to respond to the paging message according to one or more items indicated by the operating system layer and/or the application layer in step S1301.

For example, priority service information may include voice and video. When the content of the Paging Cause parameter is voice, and the NAS layer is notified that the terminal user is currently using another USIM card for Internet access, the NAS layer replies to the paging message. If the content of the PagingCause parameter is a short message, the NAS layer does not reply to the paging message, or reply to the network side rejection message; or sends the content of the PagingCause parameter to the operating system layer and/or application layer, and waits for the operating system layer And/or the application layer determines whether to reply to the paging message.

The method in which the terminal of this embodiment can send indication information to enable the PagingCause parameter addition behavior of the network-side entity will be further described below.

In this embodiment, the terminal can determine in advance whether the network side needs to send the PagingCause parameter. For example, in the method shown in FIG. 13, the NAS layer of the terminal can send a NAS message (such as a registration request) containing the first indication, The network element of the core network determines according to the first indication whether it is necessary to add the PagingCause parameter to the Paging parameter when the terminal is in the CM-IDLE state, or the AS layer of the terminal can send an AS message (such as an RRC message), and the base station can send an AS message (such as an RRC message) according to the The first instruction determines whether it is necessary to add the Paging Cause parameter to the Paging parameter when the terminal is in the RRC-Inacive state. In this way, unnecessary network resource overhead on the network side can be reduced, for example, including the overhead of data packet inspection, while also saving the overhead of air interface signaling.

It should be noted that this embodiment can be applied to 4G and 5G networks. Among them, for the 4G network, only the mechanism that the terminal is in CM-IDLE is used; this embodiment can be applied to dual-card terminals that do not support dual-pass, which helps the dual-card terminal to select a suitable USIM card to perform services.
