二、寻呼辅助过程
目前，由于在寻呼过程中核心网设备会向TA列表内的所有接入网设备发送寻呼消息，从而导致需要发送的寻呼消息过多，造成了网络中的信令开销非常大，增大了网络能耗，降低了寻呼效率。另外，对于终端设备在无线资源控制空闲(Radio Resource Control IDLE，RRC_IDLE)态或无线资源控制非激活(RRC_INACTIVE)态下移动的场景，网络设备无法获得终端设备经过的小区和/或即将经过的小区等信息。
基于此，本申请实施例引入了寻呼辅助信息，通过终端设备先向网络设备上报寻呼辅助信息，使得 网络设备可以根据上报寻呼辅助信息确定寻呼优化策略，从而实现优化寻呼过程，以便减少发送的寻呼消息，降低网络中的信令开销，提升网络节能效果，提高寻呼效率。

1、寻呼辅助信息
(1)概念
本申请实施例中，寻呼辅助信息，可以用于确定寻呼优化策略，可以用于确定寻呼优化策略以减少发送的寻呼消息，可以用于优化寻呼过程以减少发送的寻呼消息，可以用于优化寻呼消息的发送过程以减少发送的寻呼消息。
例如，以终端设备与网络设备之间的通信为例，在寻呼过程中，终端设备向网络设备发送(上报)寻呼辅助信息。对应的，网络设备接收该寻呼辅助信息，并根据该寻呼辅助信息确定寻呼优化策略，或者优化寻呼过程，或者优化寻呼消息的发送过程等，从而实现优化寻呼过程，以便减少发送的寻呼消息，降低网络中的信令开销，提升网络节能效果，提高寻呼效率。
在一些可能的实现中，寻呼优化策略(优化寻呼过程/优化寻呼消息的发送过程)，可以包括发送寻呼消息的接入网设备、更新后的跟踪区列表(TA list)、寻呼优先级(Paging Priority)、发送寻呼消息的小区、寻呼次数中的至少一项。也就是说，寻呼辅助信息可以用于确定发送寻呼消息的接入网设备、更新后的跟踪区列表、寻呼优先级、发送寻呼消息的小区、寻呼次数中的至少一项。
在一些可能的实现中，寻呼辅助信息，可以由人工智能技术确定。
在一些可能的实现中，寻呼辅助信息，可以包括以下至少一项：历史小区信息、预测小区信息、预测小区信息、预测接入网设备信息、第一生效时间信息、第二生效时间信息、第三生效时间信息。
也就是说，本申请实施例可以根据历史小区信息、预测小区信息、预测跟踪区信息、预测接入网设备信息、第一生效时间信息、第二生效时间信息、第三生效时间信息中的至少一项来确定寻呼优化策略(优化寻呼过程/优化寻呼消息的发送过程)。
需要说明的是，目前在寻呼过程中往往通过TA列表或仅考虑单一因素来进行寻呼策略的制定，而本申请实施例需要考虑历史小区、预测小区、预测小区、预测接入网设备、生效时间等多种因素来确定寻呼优化策略(优化寻呼过程/优化寻呼消息的发送过程。由于本申请实施例考虑的因素更多和更全面，使得优先后的寻呼策略相比于现有的寻略策略，更能有效的减少发送的寻呼消息，降低网络中的信令开销，提升网络节能效果，提高寻呼效率。
下面本申请实施例将分别对历史小区信息、预测小区信息、预测小区信息、预测接入网设备信息、第一生效时间信息、第二生效时间信息、第三生效时间信息进行具体说明，并说明如何根据这些信息来确定发送寻呼消息的接入网设备、更新后的跟踪区列表、寻呼优先级、发送寻呼消息的小区、寻呼次数中的至少一项。
(2)历史小区信息
在本申请实施例中，历史小区信息，可以用于指示终端设备的历史小区的相关信息。其中，终端设备的历史小区可以为终端设备经过的小区。
需要说明的是，终端设备经过的小区，可以是指终端设备在RRC_IDLE或RRC_INACTIVE态下驻留的小区，或者终端设备在无线资源控制连接(RRC_CONNECTED)态下连接的小区，即终端设备与该小区的接入网设备建立有连接。
例如，若终端设备经过了小区1、小区2和小区3，则小区1、小区2和小区3为历史小区。
在一些可能的实现中，历史小区信息，可以按照TA来划分。
需要说明的是，由于历史小区信息中的历史小区各自有属于的TA，且TA由TA标识来标识，因此本申请实施例可以通过TA来划分历史小区，使得一个历史小区信息包含的历史小区属于同一个TA，而另一个历史小区信息包含的历史小区属于另外一个TA，从而实现按照TA来划分历史小区信息。
例如，TA1的历史小区信息，TA2的历史小区信息。其中，TA1的历史小区信息中的历史小区属于TA1，TA2的历史小区信息中的历史小区属于TA2。
在一些可能的实现中，历史小区信息可以包括以下至少之一项：
终端设备的历史小区、终端设备在历史小区中的停留时间长度、终端设备的历史小区的小区类型、终端设备经过历史小区的顺序。
下面分别对终端设备的历史小区、终端设备在历史小区中的停留时间长度、终端设备的历史小区的小区类型、终端设备经过历史小区的顺序进行具体说明。
a)终端设备的历史小区
在本申请实施例中，终端设备的历史小区，可以由小区标识(Cell Identity)来标识。
例如，小区标识包括NR小区全球标识(Cell Global Identity，CGI)、E-UTRA CGI、UMTS无线接入网(UMTS Radio Access Network，UTRAN)CGI、GSM/增强型数据速率GSM演进无线接入网(GSM/Enhanced Data Rate for GSM Evolution(EDGE)Radio Access Network，GERAN)CGI、频点和物理层小区标识中的之一项。其中，NR CGI可以包括PLMN Identity和NR Cell Identity，E-UTRA CGI可以包括PLMN Identity和E-UTRA Cell Identity，UTRAN CGI可以包括PLMN Identity和UTRAN Cell Identity，GERAN CGI可以包括PLMN Identity和GERAN Cell Identity。
需要说明的是，由于小区标识可以携带接入网络标识和/或TA标识，因此根据历史小区的小区标识可以确定历史小区对应的接入网设备和/或TA。如此，在终端设备将历史小区上报给网络设备时，网络设备可以根据历史小区对应的接入网设备来确定发送寻呼消息的接入网设备，可以根据历史小区对应的TA来更新TA列表，可以根据历史小区来确定发送寻呼消息的小区等。
在一些可能的实现中，终端设备的历史小区所属的TA，可以由TA标识来标识，从而可以实现将历史小区信息中的历史小区按照TA来划分。
b)终端设备在历史小区中的停留时间长度
在本申请实施例中，终端设备在历史小区中的停留时间长度，可以理解为，终端设备在经过的每个小区中所停留的时长。
例如，终端设备经过了小区1、小区2和小区3。其中，终端设备在小区1中的停留时间长度为10分钟，终端设备在小区2中的停留时间长度为1个小时，终端设备在小区3中的停留时间长度为3个小时。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例可以根据停留时间长度来确定寻呼优化策略(优化寻呼过程/优化寻呼消息的发送过程)。
例如，网络设备可以根据终端设备在历史小区中的停留时间长度确定发送寻呼消息的小区。这是因为，若终端设备在某个经过的小区中的停留时间长度越长，则说明终端设备在该小区中接收寻呼消息的概率可能越大。如此，网络设备可以在该小区中发送寻呼消息，提高寻呼效率。需要说明的是，网络设备可以在该小区中发送寻呼消息，可以理解为，核心网络设备发送寻呼消息到接入网设备，接入网络设备在小区中发送寻呼消息。下文也同理，对此不再赘述。
又例如，网络设备可以根据终端设备在历史小区中的停留时间长度确定发送寻呼消息的接入网设备。这是因为，若终端设备在某个经过的小区中的停留时间长度越长，则说明终端设备在该小区中接收寻呼消息的概率可能越大。如此，网络设备可以将寻呼消息发给该小区对应的接入网设备，再由该接入网设备发送给终端设备。

又例如，网络设备可以根据终端设备在历史小区中的停留时间长度确定寻呼次数。这是因为，若终端设备在某个经过的小区中的停留时间长度越长，则说明终端设备在该小区中接收寻呼消息的概率可能越大。如此，网络设备向该小区寻呼的次数越高，提高寻呼效率。
在一些可能的实现中，终端设备在历史小区中的停留时间长度之间的大小关系，可以由小区列表来表示。
例如，小区列表中最后的小区表示终端设备在历史小区中的停留时间长度为最长，小区列表中最前的小区表示终端设备在历史小区中的停留时间长度为最短，以此类推。相反，同理可知。
可见，由于本申请实施例可以通过小区列表中小区的排列顺序来表示终端设备在历史小区中的停留时间长度之间的大小关系，因此终端设备就可以直接上报小区列表，再由网络设备根据小区列表中的小区的排列顺序来确定终端设备在历史小区中的停留时间长度之间的大小关系，最终根据该大小关系来确定寻呼优化策略(优化寻呼过程/优化寻呼消息的发送过程)。
c)终端设备的历史小区的小区类型

例如，网络设备可以根据终端设备的历史小区的小区类型确定发送寻呼消息的小区。这是因为，若终端设备经过某个小区的小区类型为宏小区，则说明终端设备可能在该小区中的停留时间长度越长，对此终端设备在该小区中接收寻呼消息的概率可能越大。如此，网络设备可以在该小区中发送寻呼消息，提高寻呼效率。

下面分别对终端设备的预测跟踪区、终端设备在预测跟踪区中的停留时间长度、终端设备经过预测跟踪区的概率、终端设备在预测跟踪区中接收寻呼消息的概率、终端设备经过预测跟踪区的顺序进行具体说明。
a)终端设备的预测跟踪区
需要说明的是，预测跟踪区可以由多个预测小区和/或预测接入网设备组成。如此，在终端设备将 预测跟踪区上报给网络设备时，网络设备可以根据预测跟踪区确定多个预测小区和/或预测接入网设备对应的接入网设备以实现确定发送寻呼消息的接入网设备、发送寻呼消息的小区，可以根据预测跟踪区更新TA列表等。
在本申请实施例中，终端设备的预测跟踪区，可以由跟踪区标识来标识。
b)终端设备在预测跟踪区中的停留时间长度
在本申请实施例中，终端设备在预测跟踪区中的停留时间长度，可以理解为，终端设备预测在即将经过的每个跟踪区中所停留的时长。
例如，终端设备预测即将经过的跟踪区有跟踪区1、跟踪区2和跟踪区3。其中，终端设备预测在跟踪区1中的停留时间长度为10分钟，终端设备预测在跟踪区2中的停留时间长度为1个小时，终端设备预测在跟踪区3中的停留时间长度为3个小时。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例可以根据停留时间长度来确定寻呼优化策略(优化寻呼过程/优化寻呼消息的发送过程)。
例如，网络设备可以根据终端设备在预测跟踪区中的停留时间长度确定发送寻呼消息的小区。这是因为，若终端设备预测在即将经过某个跟踪区中的停留时间长度越长，则说明终端设备即将在该跟踪区中接收寻呼消息的概率可能越大。如此，网络设备可以将寻呼消息发给该跟踪区中的小区。
又例如，网络设备可以根据终端设备在预测跟踪区中的停留时间长度确定发送寻呼消息的接入网设备。这是因为，若终端设备预测在即将经过某个跟踪区中的停留时间长度越长，则说明终端设备即将在该跟踪区中接收寻呼消息的概率可能越大。如此，网络设备可以将寻呼消息发给该跟踪区中的接入网设备，再由该接入网设备发送给终端设备。
又例如，网络设备可以根据终端设备在历史跟踪区中的停留时间长度确定更新后的跟踪区列表。这是因为，若终端设备预测在即将经过某个跟踪区中的停留时间长度越长，则说明终端设备即将在该跟踪区中接收寻呼消息的概率可能越大。如此，网络设备可以用该跟踪区来更新TA列表，以便网络设备向更新后的TA列表内的接入网设备和/或小区发送寻呼消息，提高寻呼效率。
又例如，网络设备可以根据终端设备在历史跟踪区中的停留时间长度确定寻呼优先级。这是因为，若终端设备预测在即将经过某个跟踪区中的停留时间长度越长，则说明终端设备即将在该跟踪区中接收寻呼消息的概率可能越大。如此，网络设备向该跟踪区寻呼的优先级更高，提高寻呼效率。
又例如，网络设备可以根据终端设备在历史跟踪区中的停留时间长度确定寻呼次数。这是因为，若终端设备预测在即将经过某个跟踪区中的停留时间长度越长，则说明终端设备即将在该跟踪区中接收寻呼消息的概率可能越大。如此，网络设备向该跟踪区寻呼的次数越高，提高寻呼效率。
在一些可能的实现中，终端设备在预测跟踪区中的停留时间长度之间的大小关系，可以由跟踪区列表来表示。
例如，跟踪区列表中最后的跟踪区表示终端设备在预测跟踪区中的停留时间长度为最长，跟踪区列表中最前的跟踪区表示终端设备在预测跟踪区中的停留时间长度为最短，以此类推。相反，同理可知。
可见，由于本申请实施例可以通过跟踪区列表中跟踪区的排列顺序来表示终端设备在预测跟踪区中的停留时间长度之间的大小关系，因此终端设备就可以直接上报跟踪区列表，再由网络设备根据跟踪区列表中的跟踪区的排列顺序来确定终端设备在预测跟踪区中的停留时间长度之间的大小关系，最终根据该大小关系来确定寻呼优化策略(优化寻呼过程/优化寻呼消息的发送过程)。

例如，跟踪区列表中最早的跟踪区表示终端设备预测即将最先经过的跟踪区，跟踪区列表中最后的跟踪区表示终端设备预测即将最后经过的跟踪区，以此类推。相反，同理可知。
可见，由于本申请实施例可以通过跟踪区列表中的跟踪区的排列顺序来表示终端设备经过预测跟踪区的顺序，因此终端设备就可以直接上报跟踪区列表，再由网络设备根据跟踪区列表中的跟踪区的排列顺序来确定终端设备即将前后经过跟踪区的顺序，最终根据终端设备即将前后经过跟踪区的顺序来确定寻呼优化策略(优化寻呼过程/优化寻呼消息的发送过程)。
