Paging area obtaining method and related equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses a paging area obtaining method and related equipment. The method comprises the following steps of: receiving a geographical location report message of MTC (machine type communication) equipment sent by an MTC server, wherein the geographical location report message carries the geographical location information of the MTC equipment and an identifier of the MTC equipment; obtaining the network location information corresponding to the geographical location information according to the preset mapping between the geographical location area and the network location area; and sending the identifier and network location information of the MTC equipment to a home location register (HLR) or home subscriber server (HSS). Through the invention, the HLR or HSS can obtain the paging area of low mobile equipment so as to realize paging on the MTC equipment according to the paging area, thus the network signaling resources are saved, and the paging efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mobile communication networks, in particular to a method for obtaining a paging area, an MTC server, an MTC device and a network device. Background technique [0002] Machine Type Communication (MTC) is a communication of data involving one or more entities that does not require natural human interaction. Compared with the traditional communication between people, it has the characteristics of single data communication, low cost and cost, and small business volume, so it has broad application prospects. Another important characteristic of the machine type communication device (MTC Device) is that it has low mobility, and its position is fixed or seldom moves under normal circumstances. [0003] In the prior art, the home location register (Home Location Register, HLR) or home subscriber server (Home Subscriber Server, HSS) usually saves the paging area of ​​the mobile device, and the core network...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the process of studying the prior art, the inventor found that due to the low mobility of the MTC device, the mobile communication network can only perform paging within a certain small location area, but the prior art does not provide HLR or HSS How to obtain the paging area for low-mobile devices, so the core network element still needs to page low-mobile devices in a large range, wasting network signaling resources
