通常，在通信系统中，对于非激活态终端设备，其对应的寻呼分组信息可以由接入网设备分配，对于空闲态终端设备，其对应的寻呼分组信息可以由核心网设备分配。若处于非激活态的终端设备上下文在网络侧丢失，则接入网设备可能误认为终端设备处于空闲态，从而可能会按照核心网设备分配的寻呼分组信息进行寻呼，而终端设备此时可能还在利用接入网设备分配的寻呼分组信息进行监听，从而不仅会造成寻呼失败，而且会增加终端设备的功耗。由此，如何降低寻呼失败的概率及终端的功耗，是目前亟待解决的问题。

从而，本公开实施例中，核心网设备通过基于接入网设备发送的寻呼辅助信息确定终端设备在空闲态时的第一寻呼分组信息，从而使得网络侧在丢失了终端设备的上下文信息的情况下，也可以基于终端设备的第一寻呼分组信息及寻呼辅助信息，准确确定出终端设 备在非激活态时的第二寻呼分组信息，并对终端设备进行准确寻呼，从而不仅提高了寻呼的成功率，而且降低了寻呼过程中终端的功耗。
通过实施本公开实施例，接入网设备向核心网设备发送终端设备对应的寻呼辅助信息，寻呼辅助信息用于辅助核心网设备确定终端设备在空闲态时的第一寻呼分组信息。由此，保证了无论终端设备处于非激活态还是空闲态，核心网设备和接入网设备对终端设备的寻呼信息的理解一致，从而降低了寻呼失败的概率，降低了终端设备的功耗。

通过实施本公开实施例，接入网设备响应于未接收到核心网设备发送的第一指示信息，确定终端设备在非激活态时的第二寻呼分组信息，之后根据第二寻呼分组信息，确定寻呼辅助信息，最后可以向核心网设备发送包括终端设备对应的寻呼辅助信息的第二指示信息。由此，保证了无论终端设备处于非激活态还是空闲态，核心网设备和接入网设备对终端设备的寻呼信息的理解一致，从而降低了寻呼失败的概率，降低了终端设备的功耗。
请参见图6，图6是本公开实施例提供的另一种寻呼方法的流程示意图。该方法被配置为由接入网设备执行。如图6所示，该方法可以包括但不限于如下步骤：
步骤61，向核心网设备发送终端设备对应的寻呼辅助信息，其中，寻呼辅助信息用于辅助所述核心网设备确定终端设备在空闲态时的第一寻呼分组信息。
其中，上述步骤61的具体实现过程及方法，可以参照本公开任一实施例的详细描述，此处不再赘述。
步骤62，响应于终端设备由激活态进入空闲态，更新终端设备在空闲态对应的第一寻呼分组信息。
由于非激活态时及空闲态时，对终端设备的寻呼概率及寻呼周期等可能不同，从而导致非激活态时及空闲态时，寻呼过程消耗的终端设备的功率也不同。本公开中，终端设备在非激活态时，核心网设备根据其在非激活态时的第二寻呼分组信息，确定其在空闲态时的第一寻呼分组信息，从而使得网络侧丢失了终端设备的上下文信息的情况下，也不会出现对终端设备的寻呼失败的情况。
为了尽量降低寻呼过程中的终端设备的功耗，若接入网设备在确定终端设备已由激活态进入空闲态时，若仍采用非激活态时的第二寻呼分组信息，对终端设备进行寻呼，则可 能带来额外的功率损耗，从而接入网设备即可更新终端设备在空闲态时对应的第一寻呼分组信息，以使接入网设备采用新的第一寻呼分组信息向处于空闲态的终端设备发送寻呼消息，从而降低寻呼过程中终端设备的功耗。
可选的，接入网设备可以根据核心网设备发送的寻呼消息，更新终端设备在空闲态对应的第一寻呼分组信息。
即，终端设备在空闲态对应的第一寻呼分组信息，由核心网设备确定和更新，之后核心网设备在基于更新后的第一寻呼分组信息对终端设备进行寻呼时，接入网设备即可基于该寻呼消息，确定更新后的第一寻呼分组信息。
可选的，接入网设备还可以根据协议约定，更新终端设备在空闲态对应的第一寻呼分组信息。
即，接入网设备根据协议约定或者核心网设备的指示，确定其可以为终端设备分配空闲态时的第一寻呼分组信息，从而接入网设备在确定终端设备由非激活态进入空闲态时，即可根据协议约定，为处于空闲态的终端设备分配新的第一寻呼分组信息，并用新的第一寻呼分组信息覆盖之前的第一寻呼分组信息。
步骤63，向终端设备发送无线资源控制RRC释放消息，其中，RRC释放消息中包括更新后的第一寻呼分组信息。
其中，无线资源控制RRC释放消息可以用于指示终端设备采用更新后的第一寻呼分组信息进行寻呼监听。
通过实施本公开实施例，响应于终端设备由激活态进入空闲态，接入网设备更新终端设备在空闲态对应的第一寻呼分组信息，之后向终端设备发送包括更新后的第一寻呼分组信息的无线资源控制RRC释放消息，由此，当终端设备由激活态进入空闲态时，接入网设备和核心网设备均采用更新后第一寻呼分组信息向处于空闲态的终端设备发送寻呼消息，终端设备也采用更新后的第一寻呼分组信息进行寻呼监听，不仅提高了寻呼成功的概率，而且降低了终端设备的功耗。
请参见图7，图7是本公开实施例提供的另一种寻呼方法的流程示意图。该方法被配置为由核心网设备执行。如图7所示，该方法可以包括但不限于如下步骤：
步骤71，接收接入网设备发送的终端设备对应的寻呼辅助信息。

可选的，寻呼辅助信息中可以包含接入网设备确定的终端设备在非激活态时对应的第二寻呼分组信息。
可选的，接入网设备可以根据协议约定，确定终端设备在非激活态时的第二寻呼分组信息，之后通过向核心网设备发送寻呼辅助信息，以将非激活态时对应的第二寻呼分组信息同步给核心网设备。
可选的，核心网设备可以首先向接入网设备发送指示信息，以指示是否允许接入网设 备确定终端设备在非激活态时的第二寻呼分组信息。
比如，核心网设备可以向接入网设备发送指示信息，指示接入网设备确定终端设备在非激活态时的第二寻呼分组信息，并接收接入网设备发送的根据第二寻呼分组信息确定的寻呼辅助信息，从而确定终端设备非激活态时对应的第二寻呼分组信息。
可选的，核心网设备也可以通过不向接入网设备发送指示信息，来指示接入网设备可以为终端设备分配非激活态时的第二寻呼分组信息。相应的，接入网设备可以在未接收到核心网设备发送的指示信息的情况下，基于协议约定或者配置信息确定终端设备在非激活态时的第二寻呼分组信息，并通过向核心网设备发送寻呼辅助信息，以将非激活态时对应的第二寻呼分组信息同步给核心网设备。
步骤72，根据寻呼辅助信息，更新终端设备在空闲态时的第一寻呼分组信息。
可选的，第一寻呼分组信息为以下任一项或多项：寻呼分组标识，寻呼概率，寻呼概率指示，以及，寻呼周期。
其中，寻呼分组标识可以为核心网设备确定的终端设备处于空闲态时所在的分组标识，核心网设备可以根据该寻呼分组标识向终端设备发送寻呼消息。
其中，寻呼概率可以为核心网设备确定的终端设备处于空闲态时被寻呼的概率。
其中，寻呼概率指示可以为核心网设备确定的终端设备处于空闲态时被寻呼的概率指示。寻呼概率指示可以包括高、中、低。
其中，寻呼周期可以为核心网设备确定的终端设备处于空闲态时，连续两次向终端设备发送寻呼消息的间隔。
从而，本公开实施例中，核心网设备通过基于接入网设备发送的寻呼辅助信息确定终端设备在空闲态时的第一寻呼分组信息，从而使得网络侧在丢失了终端设备的上下文信息的情况下，也可以基于终端设备的第一寻呼分组信息及寻呼辅助信息，准确确定出终端设备在非激活态时的第二寻呼分组信息，并对终端设备进行准确寻呼，从而不仅提高了寻呼的成功率，而且降低了寻呼过程中终端的功耗。
通过实施本公开实施例，核心网设备接收接入网设备发送的终端设备对应的寻呼辅助信息，之后根据寻呼辅助信息，更新终端设备在空闲态时的第一寻呼分组信息。由此，保证了无论终端设备处于非激活态还是空闲态，核心网设备和接入网设备对终端设备的寻呼信息的理解一致，从而降低了寻呼失败的概率，降低了终端设备的功耗。
请参见图8，图8是本公开实施例提供的另一种寻呼方法的流程示意图。该方法被配置为由核心网设备执行。如图8所示，该方法可以包括但不限于如下步骤：
步骤81，确定终端设备在空闲态时的第一寻呼分组信息。
可选的，该第一寻呼分组信息，可以是核心网设备为终端设备分配的。即，可以为核心网设备基于协议约定确定的。
或者，该第一寻呼分组信息，也可以是接入网设备为终端设备分配后，再同步给接入网设备的。即，该第一寻呼分组信息，可以为核心网设备从接入网设备侧接收的。
步骤82，接收接入网设备发送的终端设备对应的寻呼辅助信息。
步骤83，根据寻呼辅助信息，更新终端设备在空闲态时的第一寻呼分组信息。
其中，上述步骤82和步骤83的具体实现形式，可参照本公开其他各实施例的详细描述，此处不再赘述。
从而，本公开实施例中，核心网设备通过基于接入网设备发送的寻呼辅助信息确定终端设备在空闲态时的第一寻呼分组信息，从而使得网络侧在丢失了终端设备的上下文信息的情况下，也可以基于终端设备的第一寻呼分组信息及寻呼辅助信息，准确确定出终端设备在非激活态时的第二寻呼分组信息，并对终端设备进行准确寻呼，从而不仅提高了寻呼的成功率，而且降低了寻呼过程中终端的功耗。
通过实施本公开实施例，核心网设备首先确定终端设备在空闲态时的第一寻呼分组信息，之后在接收到接入网设备发送的终端设备对应的寻呼辅助信息时，即可根据寻呼辅助信息，更新终端设备在空闲态时的第一寻呼分组信息。由此，保证了无论终端设备处于非激活态还是空闲态，核心网设备和接入网设备对终端设备的寻呼信息的理解一致，从而降低了寻呼失败的概率，降低了终端设备的功耗。
请参见图9，图9是本公开实施例提供的另一种寻呼方法的流程示意图。该方法被配置为由核心网设备执行。如图9所示，该方法可以包括但不限于如下步骤：
步骤91，基于协议约定，确定终端设备对应的第一寻呼分组信息。
步骤92，接收接入网设备发送的终端设备对应的寻呼辅助信息。
步骤93，根据寻呼辅助信息，确定终端设备在非激活态时的第二寻呼分组信息。

步骤94，利用终端设备在非激活态时的第二寻呼分组信息，覆盖终端设备在空闲态时的第一寻呼分组信息。
上述步骤92-步骤94的具体实现形式，可参照本公开其他各实施例的详细描述，此处不再赘述。
步骤95，向终端设备发送寻呼消息，其中，寻呼消息中包括终端设备在空闲态时的第一寻呼分组信息。
需要说明的是，由于此时的空闲态寻呼的第一寻呼分组信息可能已被第二寻呼分组信息更新或者覆盖了。因此，本公开中寻呼消息中包括的空闲态时的第一寻呼分组信息，即为用于覆盖或者替换该空闲态寻呼分组信息的激活态对应的第二寻呼分组信息。
即，在一种实施例中，核心网设备可以在给空闲态终端设备发起的寻呼消息中携带空闲态寻呼的第一寻呼分组信息。
在一种实施例中，核心网设备将可以在给非激活态终端设备发起的寻呼消息中携带第二寻呼分组信息。需要说明的是，此处的第二寻呼分组信息为覆盖或者更新原本的空闲态寻呼的第一寻呼分组信息的信息。

本公开中，核心网设备通过利用终端设备在非激活态时对应的第二寻呼分组信息，覆盖终端设备在空闲态时对应的第一寻呼分组信息，以使无论终端设备处于非激活态或空闲态的，接入网设备和核心网设备可以采用相同的寻呼分组信息，向其发送寻呼消息。
在网络侧丢失了终端设备的上下文信息的情况下，即网络侧认为终端设备处于空闲态，而终端设备仍处于非激活态的情况下，核心网可以基于第二寻呼分组信息，向终端设备发送寻呼消息，从而接入网设备也会基于该第二寻呼分组信息向终端设备发送寻呼消息，而终端设备此时仍根据第二寻呼分组信息进行寻呼监听，从而即可避免寻呼失败的情况。
需要说明的是，由于无论终端设备处于非激活态或空闲态的，接入网设备和核心网设备可以采用相同的第二寻呼分组信息，从而核心网设备可以无需确定终端设备当前的RRC连接状态，直接向终端设备发送寻呼消息。可选的，该寻呼消息中，可以包含终端设备在非激活态时对应的第二寻呼分组信息，从而使得终端设备无论在何种状态下，都基于该第二寻呼分组信息进行寻呼监听。
通过实施本公开实施例，核心网设备首先确定终端设备对应的第一寻呼分组信息，之后再接收到接入网设备发送的终端设备对应的寻呼辅助信息之后，即可根据寻呼辅助信息，更新终端设备在空闲态时的第一寻呼分组信息，并基于该新的第一寻呼分组信息向终端设备发送寻呼消息。由此，核心网设备通过利用终端设备在激活态时的第二寻呼分组信息覆盖终端设备在空闲态时的第一寻呼分组信息，并基于新的第一寻呼分组信息对终端设备进行寻呼，从而不仅提高了寻呼成功的概率，而且降低了终端设备的功耗。

可选的，核心网设备还可以向接入网设备发送第一指示信息，其中，第一指示信息至少用于指示是否允许接入网设备确定寻呼辅助信息。
从而接入网设备即可在接收到用于指示允许其确定寻呼辅助信息的第一指示信息时，确定寻呼辅助信息，并将确定的寻呼辅助信息返回给核心网设备。
或者，接入网设备也可以在未收到用于指示不允许其确定寻呼辅助信息的第一指示信息时，确定寻呼辅助信息，并将确定的寻呼辅助信息返回给核心网设备。

在网络侧丢失了终端设备的上下文信息的情况下，即网络侧认为终端设备处于空闲态，而终端设备仍处于非激活态的情况下，核心网可以基于第二寻呼分组信息，向终端设备发送寻呼消息，从而接入网设备也会基于该第二寻呼分组信息向终端设备发送寻呼消息，而终端设备此时仍根据第二寻呼分组信息进行寻呼监听，从而即可避免寻呼失败的情况。
通过实施本公开实施例，核心网设备首先向接入网设备发送第一指示信息，之后在接收到接入网设备发送的包括第二寻呼分组信息的第二指示信息后，即可利用第二指示信息，覆盖端设备在空闲态时的第一寻呼分组信息。由此，核心网设备通过利用终端设备在激活态时的第二寻呼分组信息覆盖终端设备在空闲态时的第一寻呼分组信息，并基于新的第一寻呼分组信息对终端设备进行寻呼，从而不仅提高了寻呼成功的概率，而且降低了终端设备的功耗。
请参见图11，图11是本公开实施例提供的另一种寻呼方法的流程示意图。该方法被配置为由核心网设备执行。如图11所示，该方法可以包括但不限于如下步骤：

步骤112，接收接入网设备发送的终端设备对应的寻呼辅助信息，其中，寻呼辅助信息用于辅助核心网设备确定终端设备在空闲态时的第一寻呼分组信息。
步骤113，根据寻呼辅助信息，更新终端在空闲态时的第一分组信息。
步骤114，响应于终端设备由激活态进入空闲态，更新终端设备在空闲态对应的第一寻呼分组信息。
由于非激活态时及空闲态时，对终端设备的寻呼概率及寻呼周期等可能不同，从而导致非激活态时及空闲态时，寻呼过程消耗的终端设备的功率也不同。本公开中，终端设备在非激活态时，核心网设备根据其在非激活态时的第二寻呼分组信息，确定其在空闲态时的第一寻呼分组信息，从而使得网络侧丢失了终端设备的上下文信息的情况下，也不会出现对终端设备的寻呼失败的情况。
为了尽量降低寻呼过程中的终端设备的功耗，若核心网设备在确定终端设备已由激活态进入空闲态时，若仍采用非激活态时的第二寻呼分组信息，对终端设备进行寻呼，则可能带来额外的功率损耗，从而核心网设备即可更新终端设备在空闲态时对应的第一寻呼分组信息，以使接入网设备采用新的第一寻呼分组信息向处于空闲态的终端设备发送寻呼消息，从而降低寻呼过程中终端设备的功耗。
可选的，核心网设备可以根据接入网设备发送的第一寻呼分组信息，更新终端设备在空闲态对应的第一寻呼分组信息。
即，终端设备在空闲态对应的第一寻呼分组信息，由接入网设备确定和更新，之后核心网设备接收接入网设备发送的第一寻呼分组信息。
