[0039] Among them, UE11 can be a SIM (for example: SIM1) of a terminal supporting multiple SIM cards, or UE11 corresponds to a SIM of a terminal supporting multiple SIM cards; of course, UE11 can also be a terminal supporting only a single SIM card.

[0040] Furthermore, the above-mentioned terminal can be a terminal-side device such as a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer, a laptop computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile Internet device (MID), a wearable device (Wearable Device) or a robot.

It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present invention, only 5G base station is taken as an example, but the specific types of the first access network element and the second access network element are not limited.

[0042] The core network element 14 may include at least one of the following: core network equipment, core network node, core network function, core network network unit, Mobility Management Entity (MME), Access Mobility Management Function (AMF), Session Management Function (SMF), User Plane Function (UPF), Serving GW (SGW), PDN Gateway (PDN GateWay), Policy Control Function (PCF), Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) wireless access network equipment.

[0043] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present invention, the second access network element 13 may not be included, or the core network network element 14 may not be included in some communication scenarios.

[0044] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a flow chart of a paging monitoring method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the method is applied to a UE, such as Figure 2 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0045] Step 201: If the UE cannot monitor a first paging location, the UE monitors a second paging location, the first paging location satisfies a first condition, the second paging location satisfies a second condition, and the first condition and the second condition are different.

[0046] The first paging location may be a paging location where the UE conflicts with another UE, wherein the conflicting paging location may be a paging location where two UEs overlap, or a paging location where the interval between the two UEs is less than a preset threshold. Figure 3 As shown, there is an overlap between the PO of UE1 and the PO of UE2, or the interval between the PO of UE1 and the PO of UE2 is less than a certain threshold.

[0047] The above-mentioned if the UE cannot monitor the first paging position, the UE monitors the second paging position, means that if the UE cannot monitor the first paging position, it is ensured to monitor the paging at the second paging position to reduce the paging loss.

[0048] The first paging location may include a paging location (PO, paging occasion) within a DRX cycle that meets the first condition in all non-connected reception (DRX) cycles of the UE, or a PO within a PF that meets the first condition in all PFs of the UE; the second paging location may include a paging location within a DRX cycle that meets the second condition in all DRX cycles of the UE, or a PO within a PF that meets the second condition in all PFs of the UE.

[0049] It should be noted that the above two UEs may be two SIMs in a terminal supporting multiple SIMs (i.e., a multi-card terminal), or UEs corresponding to the two SIMs. In addition, for the scenario of a terminal supporting multiple SIMs, in an embodiment of the present invention, UE1 and UE2 may be used to represent two UEs of a terminal supporting multiple SIMs, and the UE in step 201 may be any UE in a terminal supporting multiple SIMs.

[0050] The first condition and the second condition may be two different conditions pre-configured by the network side, pre-agreed by the protocol, or determined by the terminal. For example, the paging frame (PF) corresponding to the paging position satisfies the condition, that is, the PFs corresponding to the first paging position and the second paging position respectively satisfy different conditions.

[0051] The first condition and the second condition can enable the UE to monitor paging at a paging location that meets the second condition when the UE cannot monitor paging at a paging location that meets the first condition, so as to improve the monitoring performance of the UE.

[0052] As an optional implementation manner, the first condition and the second condition are different in that:

[0053] The first condition is that a quotient of the PF of the UE divided by the discontinuous reception period T of the UE is an even number, and the second condition is that a quotient of the PF of the UE divided by T of the UE (ie, PF div T) is an odd number; or

[0054] The first condition is that a quotient of the PF of the UE divided by the T of the UE is an odd number, and the second condition is that a quotient of the PF of the UE divided by the T of the UE is an even number; or

[0055] The first condition is that a result of a quotient obtained by dividing the PF of the UE by the T of the UE and then applying a modulo N (i.e., (PF div T) mod N) is a first value or belongs to a first set, and the second condition is that a result of a quotient obtained by dividing the PF of the UE by the T of the UE and then applying a modulo N is a second value or belongs to a second set, and the N value is an integer related to the paging monitoring cycle of the UE;

[0056] The first value is different from the second value, the first set is different from the second set, the first set does not include the second value, and the second set does not include the first value.

[0057] The quotient of the PF divided by the discontinuous reception period T of the UE may be the quotient of the radio frame number (System Frame Number, SFN) of the paging UE and the discontinuous reception period T of the UE, that is, SFN div T corresponding to the PF of the UE.

[0058] The above N can be a ratio of discontinuous reception (DRX) paging cycles of multiple UEs with paging conflicts in multi-card terminals; or, the above N can be a paging monitoring cycle customized by the UE, for example, the UE monitors paging once every N T in all paging locations, and N is the paging monitoring cycle. Of course, the above N can also be configured by the network side or agreed upon by the protocol.

[0059] The above-mentioned first condition is that the quotient of the paging frame PF of the UE divided by the discontinuous reception period T of the UE is an even number, and the second condition is that the quotient of the PF of the UE divided by the T of the UE is an odd number, which may mean that the second paging position is located after the first paging position, and the discontinuous reception period where the first paging position is located is adjacent to the discontinuous reception period where the second paging position is located. The above-mentioned first condition is that the quotient of the PF of the UE divided by the T of the UE is an odd number, and the second condition is that the quotient of the PF of the UE divided by the T of the UE is an even number, which may mean that the second paging position is located after the first paging position, and the discontinuous reception period where the first paging position is located is adjacent to the discontinuous reception period where the second paging position is located.

[0060] Among them, the first value, the second value, the first set, and the second set may be pre-configured on the network side, or agreed upon by the protocol, or determined by the multi-card terminal, or determined by the UE.

[0061] In this implementation, if the UE cannot monitor at an even-numbered paging position, the UE monitors at an odd-numbered paging position; if the UE cannot monitor at an odd-numbered paging position, the UE monitors at an even-numbered paging position; and if the UE cannot monitor at a paging position corresponding to a first value or a first set, the UE monitors at a paging position corresponding to a second value or a second set, so as to increase the probability that the terminal monitors the paging. Further, the network side may also page the above UE according to the above rules to reduce the number of times the network side sends paging and save resources.

[0062] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0063] If the UE determines that it is unable to monitor the first paging location, the UE reports first information to the network side, where the first information is used to indicate that the UE has a paging location that it is unable to monitor.

[0064] The reporting of the first information may be reporting to a core network element or a second access network element, and the reporting may be reporting before executing step 201, or reporting when executing step 201, or reporting after executing step 201. The first information may implicitly or explicitly indicate that the UE has a paging location that cannot be monitored.

[0065] Further, the UE may report the first information through any of the following messages:

[0066] Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection establishment request message, RRC connection recovery request message, RRC reconfiguration complete message, registration request.

[0067] By reporting the above message, it is possible to avoid adding additional messages, thereby saving transmission resources. Of course, in the embodiment of the present invention, the above first information can also be reported through a dedicated message.

[0068] In this implementation, since the first information is reported to the network side, the network side can promptly notify the UE of the paging location that cannot be monitored, so that paging is performed at the paging location where the UE can monitor the paging, thereby saving resources.

[0069] Optionally, the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0070] Related information of paging enhancement indication, paging conflict indication, and paging location.

[0071] The paging enhancement indication may be used to indicate that the UE is paged in an enhanced manner or to indicate that the UE has a paging position that cannot be monitored, that is, to page the UE according to the paging method provided in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0072] The above-mentioned paging conflict indication may be used to indicate that the UE has a paging location conflict or indicates that the UE has a paging location that cannot be monitored, that is, there is a paging location that cannot be monitored.

[0073] It should be noted that the above-mentioned paging enhancement indication and paging conflict indication may also be called other names, which are not limited in the embodiment of the present invention, for example: paging location assistance information, etc.

[0074] Optionally, the relevant information of the paging location includes at least one of the following:

[0075] The paging location information that the UE cannot monitor;

[0076] The paging location information normally monitored by the UE;

[0077] relevant information of the first condition;

[0078] At least one of the first value, the second value, the first set, the second set, and the value of N.

[0079] The paging location information normally monitored by the UE may be the paging location that the UE can monitor.

[0080] Among them, the relevant information of the above-mentioned first condition may be relevant information for indicating the first condition satisfied by the above-mentioned first paging location, for example: indication information indicating the parity of the quotient of the PF corresponding to the first paging location divided by the T of the UE; or, indication information indicating the result of dividing the PF corresponding to the first paging location by the T of the UE modulo N.

[0081] The relevant information of the first condition described above can enable the network side to accurately identify the paging location that the UE cannot monitor.

[0082] In addition, the N value can be used to determine the paging monitoring period of the UE, the relevant information of the first condition can be used to determine the paging location that the UE cannot monitor, the first value, the first set and the value of N are used to determine the paging location that the UE cannot monitor, and the second value, the second set and the value of N are used to determine the paging location that the UE monitors normally.

[0083] Among them, the above-mentioned first value, first set and the value of N can be used to determine the paging location that the UE cannot monitor, and any one of the first value, first set and the value of N can be used to determine the paging location that the UE cannot monitor. The above-mentioned second value, second set and the value of N can be used to determine the paging location that the UE cannot monitor, and any one of the second value, second set and the value of N can be used to determine the paging location that the UE normally monitors.

[0084] In this implementation, the network side can accurately determine the paging location of the UE through the relevant information of the paging location.

[0085] The following is an example of an implementation method for reporting the first information, assuming that the multi-card terminal includes UE1 and UE2, wherein the above is one of UE1 and UE2:

[0086] First, UE1 and / or UE2 determines whether to report the first information according to the paging monitoring strategy of the multi-card terminal.

[0087] The paging cycles of UE1 and UE2 may be 320, 640, 1280, 2560 ms, etc. The paging cycles of UE1 and UE2 may be the same or different. For the convenience of description, it is assumed that the paging cycle of UE1 is equal to or longer than the paging cycle of UE2.

[0088] When the multi-card terminal detects that a PO conflict occurs between UE1 and UE2, the multi-card terminal can adopt the following paging monitoring strategy:

[0089] When the paging cycle of UE1 / the paging cycle of UE2 = 1, the multi-card terminals monitor the paging conflict position alternately;

[0090] When the paging cycle of UE1 / the paging cycle of UE2=2, 4, 8, the multi-card terminal always monitors the PO of UE1 at the paging conflict position.

[0091] Specifically, Figure 4 shown.

[0092] UE1 and / or UE2 determines whether there is a PO that cannot be monitored according to the paging monitoring strategy of the multi-card terminal, as follows:

[0093] UE2: As long as the paging cycle is less than or equal to UE1, there will be POs that cannot monitor paging;

[0094] UE1: PO that cannot monitor paging exists only when UE1 paging cycle / UE2 paging cycle = 1;

[0095] There are UEs that cannot monitor some PO locations and can report first information, such as reporting the occurrence of paging conflict.

[0096] The time when UE1 and / or UE2 reports the first information may be as follows:

[0097] Once it is found that there is a PO that cannot be monitored, UE1 and / or UE2 reports the first information to the network at an appropriate time. The following only takes UE2 as an example:

[0098] When UE2 is in idle state: initiate RRC connection establishment in the current cell.

[0099] Carrying first information in an RRC Setup Complete message, such as a paging conflict indication (PagingCollision) or a paging enhancement indication (such as enhancement IE) or a paging location indication information; after reading the first information, the gNB puts the information together with other NAS layer parameters of UE2 (such as UE2 5G-S-TMSI) in an NG message and sends it to AMF2; or

[0100] The establishmentCause in the RRCSetupRequest message is set to "PagingCollision". When the gNB obtains the establishmentCause value, it indicates the paging conflict of UE2 to AMF2 through the NG interface. Then the gNB can put UE2 into the idle state (sending RRCReject) or connected state (sending RRCSetup); or

[0101] When UE2 is in an inactive state: Initiate RRC connection recovery in the current cell:

[0102] The resume cause (resumeCause) in the RRC resume request (RRCResumeRequest) message is set to "PagingCollision". When the gNB obtains the resumeCause value, it will indicate the paging conflict of UE2 to AMF2 through the NG interface, and then put UE2 into the inactive state (sending RRCRelease with suspend) or connected state (sending RRCResume); or

[0103] When UE2 is in connected state:

[0104] A paging conflict triggered by the network, such as when the gNB sends an RRCReconfiguration message and instructs UE2 to detect whether it exists, and UE2 reports the result in a UEAssistanceInformation message or an RRCReconfigurationComplete message; or

[0105] The paging conflict report actively triggered by UE2, if there is a conflict, is reported in the RRCReconfigurationComplete message / or other dedicated signaling (for example, PagingCollisionReport) message;

[0106] In the embodiment of the present invention, if the UE cannot monitor the first paging location, the UE monitors the second paging location, the first paging location satisfies a first condition, the second paging location satisfies a second condition, and the first condition and the second condition are different. In this way, when the UE determines that it cannot monitor the first paging location, the UE can monitor the second paging location, thereby improving the paging message reception or paging monitoring performance of the UE.

[0107] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 is a flow chart of a paging method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the method is applied to a first access network element, such as Figure 5 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0108] Step 501: Acquire a first paging message of a UE, wherein the first paging message includes second information, and the second information is used to indicate a paging location of the paging UE.

[0109] The above-mentioned obtaining of the first paging message of the UE may be receiving a first paging message sent by a core network element or a second access network element.

[0110] The second information is used to indicate the paging location of the paging UE, which can be understood as the first access network element can determine the paging location of the paging UE according to the second information. The indication can be implicit or explicit indication of the paging location of the paging UE.

[0111] Optionally, the paging location of the paging UE may be Figure 2 Second paging location in the embodiment shown.

[0112] Step 502: Determine a paging location of the UE according to the second information, and page the UE at the paging location.

[0113] The paging of the UE at the paging location may be sending a paging message to the UE at the paging location, and the paging content included in the paging message may be the paging content included in the first paging message.

[0114] Optionally, the paging location of the UE is any one of the following:

[0115] a paging location that satisfies a third condition, wherein a quotient of a PF of the UE divided by a T of the UE is an even number;

[0116] a paging location that satisfies a fourth condition, wherein a quotient of a PF of the UE divided by a T of the UE is an odd number;

[0117] a paging location that satisfies a fifth condition, wherein a result of obtaining a quotient of the PF of the UE divided by the T of the UE modulo N is a first value or belongs to a first set;

[0118] a paging location that satisfies a sixth condition, wherein a result of obtaining a quotient obtained by dividing the PF of the UE by the T of the UE modulo N is a second value or belongs to a second set, wherein the first value is different from the second value, the first set is different from the second set, the first set does not include the second value, the second set does not include the first value, and N is an integer;

[0119] A paging location that is the same as or different from the paging location used when the UE was last paged.

[0120] The paging position that is different from the paging position used when paging the UE last time may be that the determined paging position is located after the paging position used when paging the UE last time, and the discontinuous reception period in which the determined paging position is located is adjacent to the discontinuous reception period in which the paging position used when paging the UE last time is located.

[0121] The above conditions and related values ​​and sets can be found in Figure 2 The corresponding description of the illustrated embodiment is not repeated here.

[0122] As an optional implementation manner, the second information includes at least one of the following:

[0123] Paging enhancement indication, paging attempt counter (Paging Attempt Count), paging location indication information.

[0124] The above-mentioned paging enhancement indication can be found in Figure 2 The corresponding description shown may also include a paging conflict indication. The paging attempt counter may be used to count the number of paging attempts of the network side to the UE.

[0125] Furthermore, the above-mentioned paging location indication information may also be called paging location auxiliary information or other names.

[0126] The first access network element may determine the paging location through the above indication, counter and indication information.

[0127] Optionally, determining the paging location of the UE according to the paging location indication information includes:

[0128] When the paging location indication information is a third value, determining the paging location of the UE as a paging location that satisfies the third condition, where the third condition is that a quotient of the PF of the UE divided by the T of the UE is an even number; or

[0129] When the paging location indication information is a fourth value, determining the paging location of the UE as a paging location that satisfies the fourth condition, where the fourth condition is that a quotient of the PF of the UE divided by the T of the UE is an odd number; or

The fourth set may be the same as the second set, or the fourth set may have a corresponding relationship with the second set, such as a corresponding relationship defined in a protocol or pre-configured.

[0138] Further, the first value, the second value, the first set and the second set can be referred to Figure 2 The corresponding description of the illustrated embodiment is not repeated here.

[0139] Optionally, the determination that the paging position of the UE and the paging position of the last paging meet the same condition means: the paging position of the UE and the paging position of the last paging meet the same condition among the third condition, the fourth condition, the fifth condition, and the sixth condition; for example: the paging position of the UE and the paging position of the last paging both meet the third condition, the fourth condition, the fifth condition or the sixth condition.

[0140] Optionally, the determination that the paging position of the UE and the paging position of the last paging satisfy different conditions means that the paging position of the UE and the paging position of the last paging respectively satisfy different conditions among the third condition, the fourth condition, the fifth condition, and the sixth condition. For example, the paging position of the UE and the paging position of the last paging respectively satisfy the third condition and the fourth condition, or respectively satisfy the fifth condition and the sixth condition, or respectively satisfy the third condition and the sixth condition, or respectively satisfy the fourth condition and the sixth condition.

[0141] Of course, it may also be a condition other than the third condition, the fourth condition, the fifth condition, and the sixth condition.

[0142] Optionally, determining the paging location of the UE according to the second information includes:

[0143] When the value of the paging attempt counter is an even number, determining that the paging location of the UE is a paging location that satisfies the third condition, where the third condition is that a quotient of the PF of the UE divided by the T of the UE is an even number;

[0144] Alternatively, when the value of the paging attempt counter is an odd number, determining the paging location of the UE to be a paging location that satisfies the fourth condition, where the fourth condition is that a quotient of the PF of the UE divided by the T of the UE is an odd number;

[0146] Alternatively, when the value of the paging attempt counter is 0, the paging location of the UE is determined to be any paging location of the UE, and relevant information of the paging location of the current paging of the UE is saved for determining the paging location of the subsequent paging of the UE.

[0147] In this implementation, different paging locations can be determined according to different count values ​​of the implementation counter, and the terminal can be made to monitor at these paging locations.

[0150] A result obtained by dividing the PF of the UE by the T of the UE modulo N is different from the result used when the UE was paged last time.

[0151] The result of obtaining a quotient obtained by dividing the PF of the above-mentioned UE by the T of the UE and then taking the result modulo N may be different from the result used when paging the UE last time, that is, the result of obtaining a quotient obtained by dividing the PF of the UE by the T of the UE and then taking the result modulo N is different from the result of obtaining a quotient obtained by dividing the PF corresponding to the paging position used when paging the UE last time by the T of the UE and then taking the result modulo N.

[0152] Optionally, when the following situation occurs, the paging location of the UE is determined according to the paging attempt counter:

[0153] When the second information includes the paging enhancement indication, and / or when the paging enhancement indication is a preset value.

[0154] Among them, the above preset values ​​can be agreed upon by the protocol or configured on the network side.

[0155] In this embodiment, since the paging location of the UE is determined based on the second information and the UE is paged at the paging location, the paging loss of the UE can be reduced and the paging reception and monitoring performance of the UE can be improved, such as improving the paging message reception or paging message monitoring performance.

[0167] Optionally, the paging position of the UE and the paging position of the last paging satisfy the same condition, which means that the paging position of the UE and the paging position of the last paging satisfy the same condition among the third condition, the fourth condition, the fifth condition, and the sixth condition; or

Of course, the paging content of the second paging message may also be different from the paging content of the first paging message, that is, the second paging message is a new paging message.

[0182] Since the paging response of the UE is received, the relevant information of the paging location of the current paging of the UE is saved for determining the value of the content of the paging message sent when the UE is subsequently paging, so as to facilitate determining the paging location when the UE is paging next time.

[0204] It should be noted that this embodiment is Figure 2 and Figure 3 The implementation manner of the corresponding core network element or the second access network element in the embodiment shown in the figure, and its specific implementation manner can be found in Figure 2The related descriptions of the embodiment shown are not repeated in this embodiment to avoid repeated descriptions. In this embodiment, the paging reception and monitoring performance of the UE can also be improved, such as improving the paging message reception or paging message monitoring performance.

[0205] The following takes the above-mentioned UE as UE2 of a multi-card terminal, and the sending of a paging message is triggered by AMF2 when the core network is paging (CN paging), or the sending of a paging message is triggered by the serving RAN network element (gNB / eNB) when the access layer is paging (RAN paging) as an example to illustrate the method provided in the embodiment of the present invention:

[0206] Embodiment 1:

[0207] In this embodiment, the paging is CN paging, and the AMF indicates the parity through the second information, including the following steps:

[0208] Step 1: AMF2 receives a first message of the NG interface sent by gNB, which includes first information for indicating that UE2 has a paging conflict or needs paging enhancement, that is, there is a paging location that cannot be monitored;

[0209] Step 2: When downlink data of UE2 (in idle state) arrives at UPF, AMF2 is triggered to page UE2. AMF2 sends a second message (i.e., a first paging message) to some or all gNBs in the tracking area list (TA list) of UE2 through the NG interface, which carries the second information, such as paging location indication information;

[0210] Step 3: Upon receiving the first paging message sent by AMF2, gNB performs one of the following operations:

[0211] If the paging location indication information does not appear, the gNB does not use paging enhancement to page UE2;

[0212] When the paging location indication information appears and is the third value, it instructs the gNB to page UE2 when (SFN div T of PF) is an even number;

[0213] When the paging location indication information appears and is the fourth value, it indicates that the gNB pages UE2 when (SFN div T of PF) is an odd number;

[0214] Step 4: If AMF2 does not receive a paging response from UE2, it re-initiates paging. At this time, a second paging message is sent to some or all gNBs in the TA list of UE2. The paging message may be a re-sent first paging message, wherein the paging location indication information value in the second paging message is different from the previous one, for example, the paging location indication information is carried this time while the paging location indication information was not carried last time.

[0215] Step 5: UE2 monitors PO using the following method:

[0216] UE2 monitors the PO that does not conflict with the paging normally;

[0217] At the PO of the paging conflict, if the conflicting PO is an odd number, UE2 monitors the subsequent even number PO, and vice versa;

[0218] Step 6: After AMF2 successfully pages UE2, there are two options:

[0219] 1. Save the current paging location indication information so that the value can be used for the next paging;

[0220] 2. Delete the current paging location indication information;

[0221] Furthermore, this embodiment and the following embodiment 2 can also be extended to a general scenario, that is, step 4 uses the following more general expression:

[0222] When the paging location indication information is the Xth value, the gNB pages UE2 when the value of (PF's SFN div T) mod N is Y, where Y is 0, 1, 2, ..., N-1; N is pre-configured or agreed upon by the protocol; Y has a corresponding relationship with the "Xth value"; for example, taking the above odd-even example, where N = 2, X = Y = 0: when the paging location indication information value is 0, it instructs the gNB to page UE2 at an even position, where the even position refers to the PF corresponding to when (PF div T) is an even number.

[0223] Embodiment 2:

[0224] In this embodiment, the paging is RAN paging, and the serving gNB indicates the parity through the second information, including the following steps:

[0225] Step 1: When UE2 is in the RRC inactive state and a downlink message or data arrives at the serving gNB of UE2 in the core network, the serving gNB sends a first paging message to all or part of the gNBs in the notification area through the Xn interface. The first paging message carries second information, such as paging location indication information;

[0226] Step 2: The gNB in ​​the notification area receives the paging message sent by the serving gNB and performs one of the following operations:

[0227] If the paging location indication information does not appear, the gNB does not use paging enhancement to page UE2;

[0228] When the paging location indication information value is 0, it instructs the gNB to page UE2 at an even location;

[0229] When the paging location indication information value is 1, it instructs the gNB to page UE2 at an odd location;

[0230] Step 4: If the serving gNB does not receive a paging response from UE2, it re-initiates paging. At this time, when a second paging message is sent to all or part of the gNBs in the notification area of ​​UE2, the paging location indication information value in the second paging message is different from that in the first paging message.

[0231] Step 5: UE2 monitors PO using the following method:

[0232] UE2 monitors the PO that does not conflict with the paging normally;

[0233] At the PO of the paging conflict, if the conflicting PO is an odd number, UE2 monitors the subsequent even number PO, and vice versa;

[0234] Step 6: After the serving gNB successfully pages UE2, there are two options:

[0235] 1. Save the current paging location indication information value so that it can be used for the next paging;

[0236] 2. Delete the current paging location indication information value.

[0237] Embodiment 3:

[0238] In this embodiment, the paging is CN / RAN paging, and the parity is indicated by a paging attempt counter (Paging AttemptCount), including the following steps:

[0239] Step 1: When AMF2 / serving gNB pages UE2, a first paging message is sent to all or part of the gNBs in the TA list / notification area of ​​UE2 through the NG / Xn interface, including a paging attempt counter (Paging AttemptCount) and / or a paging enhancement indication;

[0240] Step 3: After receiving the first paging message, the gNB performs one of the following operations:

[0241] When the paging attempt counter value is an even number, the gNB is instructed to page UE2 at an even position;

[0242] When the paging attempt counter value is an odd number, the gNB is instructed to page UE2 at an odd position;

[0243] As a preferred embodiment, only when the first paging message carries: a paging enhancement indication, or the content of the paging enhancement indication is set to an agreed value, the gNB indicates one of the above two operations.

[0244] Step 4: If AMF2 / serving gNB does not receive a paging response from UE2, it re-initiates paging and sends a second paging message to all or part of the gNBs in the TA list / notification area of ​​UE2. This may be a re-sending of the first paging message, in which the paging attempt counter value is increased once.

[0245] Step 5: UE2 monitors PO using the following method:

[0246] UE2 monitors the PO that does not conflict with the paging normally;

[0247] At the PO of the paging conflict, if the conflicting PO is an odd number, UE2 monitors the subsequent even number PO, and vice versa;

[0248] Step 6: After AMF2 / serving gNB successfully pages UE2, there are two options:

[0249] 1. Save the parity of the current paging counter so that the value can be used for the next paging;

[0250] 2. Delete the parity of the current paging counter;

[0251] Without loss of generality: when (paging attempt counter value mod N) = X, the gNB sends paging to the PF that satisfies the value of (PF's SFN div T) mod M equals Y; N, M, X, Y are protocol agreements or network configurations; a preferred implementation method: M and N are set to the same; X and Y are set to the same.

[0252] Embodiment 5:

[0253] In this embodiment, the paging is CN / RAN paging, and the paging position inversion operation is performed according to the indication information in the paging message of the NG / Xn interface.

[0254] Step 1: When AMF2 / serving gNB pages UE2, a first paging message including paging location indication information is sent to all or part of the gNBs in the TA list / notification area of ​​UE2 through the NG / Xn interface;

[0255] When there is no prior information (for example, UE2 has not been paged before), the paging location indication information value is configured to be 0 or no paging location indication information is configured;

[0256] When AMF2 / serving gNB saves prior information (such as when the last paging of UE2 was successful), the paging location indication information value is configured to be 0;

[0257] When AMF2 / serving gNB fails to page UE2, the paging location indication information value is configured to be 1;

[0258] Step 3: After receiving the second message, the gNB performs one of the following operations:

[0259] If the paging location indication information does not appear, the gNB does not use paging enhancement to page UE2;

[0260] If the paging location indication information appears, the gNB uses paging enhancement to page UE2. First, save the paging location information, that is, the parity of (PF_last div T), or the PF of the previous paging (PF_last), which is used as the prior information for the next paging of UE2;

[0261] If the paging location indication information value is 0, if the gNB does not save the paging location information of the last paging of UE2, UE2 can be paged at any paging location of UE2, or if the gNB saves the paging location information of the last paging of UE2, the parity of this (PF div T) is consistent with the last time;

[0262] If the paging location indication information value is 1, the parity of the gNB's (PF div T) this time is opposite to the previous time.

[0263] Step 4: UE2 monitors PO using the following method:

[0264] UE2 monitors the PO that does not conflict with the paging normally;

[0265] At the PO of the paging conflict, if the conflicting PO is an odd number, UE2 monitors the subsequent even number PO, and vice versa;

[0266] Step 6: After AMF2 / serving gNB successfully pages UE2, there are two options:

[0267] 1. Save the parity of the current paging position so that the value can be used for the next paging;

[0268] 2. Delete the parity of the current paging position.

[0269] In an extensible manner, the above embodiment can also page the UE at the paging location corresponding to the first set when the paging location indication information value received by the gNB is 0, and page the UE at the paging location corresponding to the second set when the paging location indication information value is 1. The first and second sets can be implemented by network configuration, terminal reporting, and protocol agreement.

[0270] Embodiment 6:

[0271] The paging in this embodiment is CN / RAN paging. The gNB determines to perform a paging position inversion operation according to a paging attempt counter (PagingAttempt Count) of the NG / Xn interface, including the following steps:

[0272] Step 1: When AMF2 / serving gNB pages UE2, a first paging message is sent to all or part of the gNBs in the TA list / notification area of ​​UE2 through the NG / Xn interface, which includes a paging attempt counter (Paging AttemptCount);

[0273] Step 2: Upon receiving the second message, the gNB performs one of the following operations:

[0274] When the paging counter value is 0, the gNB can page at any paging position of UE2 and save the paging position information, that is, the parity of (PF_last div T), or PF_last, which is used as the prior information for the next paging of UE2;

[0275] When the paging counter value is not 0, it means that it is a retransmitted paging message. Then the gNB inverts the parity of this (PF div T) based on the saved paging location information of the last paging of UE2, and saves the paging location information of this time.

[0276] Step 3: After AMF2 finds that UE2 paging fails, it re-initiates paging. At this time, when the second message is sent again to all or part of the GNBs in the TA list / notification area of ​​UE2, the paging attempt counter value increases once;

[0277] Step 4: UE2 monitors PO using the following method:

[0278] UE2 monitors the PO that does not conflict with the paging normally;

[0279] At the PO of the paging conflict, if the conflicting PO is an odd number, UE2 monitors the subsequent even number PO, and vice versa;

[0280] Step 5: After AMF2 / serving gNB successfully pages UE2, there are two options:

[0281] 1. Save the parity of the current paging counter so that the value can be used for the next paging;

[0282] 2. Delete the parity of the current paging counter.

[0283] In the above embodiment, for CN / RAN paging, UE2 may not need to report the first information (such as reporting a paging conflict) and / or the network side may not save the paging location information, for example:

[0284] Whether AMF2 uses the paging enhancement method to page UE2 does not depend on whether AMF2 has received the paging enhancement indication information of UE2. For example, AMF2 can try to page UE2 without using the paging enhancement method without knowing it, and then try to use the paging enhancement method when the paging fails. Or, if AMF2 knows it, it always uses the paging enhancement method to page UE2.

[0285] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, UE2 may not report the first information (such as reporting a paging conflict), then the CN triggered paging and / or RAN triggered paging, the paging enhancement method is used for one or more sending of the same paging message, when the paging UE is successful, the network side does not save the paging location information, that is, it is only sent once.

The touch panel 13071 may include two parts: a touch detection device and a touch controller. Among them, the touch detection device detects the user's touch orientation, detects the signal brought by the touch operation, and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives the touch information from the touch detection device, converts it into the touch point coordinates, and then sends it to the processor 1310, receives the command sent by the processor 1310 and executes it.

The processor 1310 may include one or more processing units; preferably, the processor 1310 may integrate an application processor and a modem processor, wherein the application processor mainly processes the operating system, user interface, and application programs, and the modem processor mainly processes wireless communications. It is understandable that the above-mentioned modem processor may not be integrated into the processor 1310.
