[0028] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0029] Figure 1 This is a schematic flow chart illustrating an information indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The information indication method illustrated in this embodiment can be applied to base stations, including but not limited to 4G base stations, 5G base stations, and 6G base stations. The base station can communicate with a terminal serving as a user device, including but not limited to electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, wearable devices, sensors, and IoT devices. In one embodiment, the terminal can be a terminal to which the information determination method described in any subsequent embodiment is applicable.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the information indication method may include the following steps:

[0031] In step S101, a paging signaling is sent to a terminal, wherein the paging signaling carries indication information of a paging reason.

[0032] In one embodiment, the base station may first obtain the paging reason. For example, the base station may obtain the paging reason of the terminal from the core network; and / or obtain the paging reason of the terminal from a neighboring base station of the base station.

[0033] In one embodiment, after obtaining the paging reason, the base station may send a paging signaling to the terminal, and the base station may carry indication information of the paging reason in the paging signaling.

[0034] In one embodiment, the indication information may be carried in a PagingRecord unit of the paging signaling. For example, for paging signaling in an LTE network, the original PagingRecord information unit includes information units such as ue-Identity and cn-Domain. According to this embodiment, a pagingCause information unit may be added to the PagingRecord information unit to carry indication information of the paging cause. Of course, this is merely an example, and the indication information may also be carried in other information units, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0035] In one embodiment, after receiving the paging signaling, the terminal may parse the paging signaling to obtain indication information, and then determine the paging reason of the paging signaling according to the indication information.

[0036] Based on the paging cause, the terminal can implement various optimization processing schemes. In one embodiment, the terminal can determine a processing strategy for the paging signaling based on the paging cause, for example, whether to respond to the paging signaling. For example, if the paging cause of the paging signaling is a voice call, then if the terminal receives the paging signaling while performing a communication operation related to network data, it can determine that the voice call has a higher priority than the network data processing, and thus suspend the network data operation and respond to the voice call. Alternatively, the terminal can determine that the paging signaling does not have a higher priority than the currently executing communication operation, and then not respond to the paging signaling and continue the current communication operation.

[0037] It should be noted that determining whether to respond to the paging signaling based on the paging cause is only an optional processing solution. The terminal can also perform other operations based on the paging cause. For example, it can determine the execution order of the communication operations corresponding to the paging signaling based on the paging signaling, etc. The specific determination can be made by the terminal based on actual conditions, and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0038] It should be noted that the paging signaling in the above embodiment may be paging signaling in an LTE network, or may be paging signaling in an NR network, or may be paging signaling in other networks, and this embodiment is not limited thereto. For different networks, the basic format of the paging signaling may be different, and the paging cause may also be different. It can be determined according to the actual situation of the network, and this embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, when the base station is a base station in an NR network, paging signaling that complies with the NR network may be sent to the terminal, and the corresponding paging cause may be carried.

[0039] So far, it is completed Figure 1 According to the embodiment shown. Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the base station can proactively send the paging reason to the terminal through paging signaling, so that the terminal can analyze and determine the paging reason after receiving the paging signaling and determine the execution strategy according to the paging reason, thereby improving the execution efficiency of the terminal. Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the terminal does not need to request the base station to obtain the paging reason, but the base station actively sends it, thereby improving processing efficiency and avoiding signaling waste.

[0040] In one embodiment, candidate paging causes may be preset. The base station then determines the paging cause corresponding to the terminal based on the candidate paging causes and sends the paging cause indication information to the terminal in paging signaling. In one embodiment, the candidate paging causes may include one or more, which are described below in conjunction with two specific embodiments.

[0041] Embodiment 1: The preset candidate paging reasons include one.

[0042] In one embodiment, the paging cause is a preset candidate paging cause. For example, if the preset candidate paging cause is voice, the base station may determine that the paging cause corresponding to the terminal is the candidate paging cause voice and carry indication information of the paging cause in the paging signaling.

[0043] In one embodiment, the base station and the terminal may pre-negotiate the correspondence between the indication information and the candidate paging reasons; or the base station may send the correspondence to the terminal, for example, via a system message. After receiving the paging signaling, the terminal may determine the paging reason indicated by the indication information based on the correspondence.

[0044] In one embodiment, when the base station is unable to determine the paging cause of the paging signaling, it may send a paging signaling to the terminal without including the paging cause, or may also carry other indication information for indicating that the paging cause is unknown, which is not limited in this embodiment. Thus, after receiving the paging signaling, the terminal can determine that the paging cause is unknown.

[0045] In one embodiment, the base station and the terminal may pre-set the data type of the indication information, for example, it may be an enumeration type, a Boolean type, or an integer type, etc., which are respectively described below with examples.

[0046] Example 1.1: The indication information is of enumeration type.

[0047] In one embodiment, the base station and the terminal may predetermine that the indication information is of an enumeration type, whereby the indication information is an enumeration value corresponding to the candidate paging cause. For example, the enumeration value corresponding to the paging cause may be the name of the paging cause, such as "voice." Alternatively, the enumeration value may be another preset value, such as an identifier A.

[0048] In one embodiment, the terminal may determine the corresponding paging reason according to the enumeration value.

[0049] Taking the indication information carried in the PagingRecord unit of the paging signaling as an example, the PagingRecord unit in the LTE network can be:

[0050]

[0051] Taking the indication information carried in the PagingRecord element of the paging signaling as an example, the PagingRecord element in the NR network can be:

[0052]

[0053]

[0054] Example 1.2: The indication information is of Boolean type.

[0055] In one embodiment, the base station and the terminal may predetermine that the indication information is of a Boolean type, and the indication information is a Boolean value corresponding to the candidate paging cause. In one embodiment, the Boolean value corresponding to the paging cause may be true (or 1) or false (or 0). Taking the paging cause as an example, the indication information corresponding to voice may be predefined as true, and the indication information true may be carried in the transmitted paging signaling.

[0056] In one embodiment, the terminal may determine the corresponding paging reason according to the Boolean value.

[0057] Taking the indication information carried in the PagingRecord unit of the paging signaling as an example, the PagingRecord unit in the LTE network can be:

[0058]

[0059] Taking the indication information carried in the PagingRecord element of the paging signaling as an example, the PagingRecord element in the NR network can be:

[0060]

[0061] Example 1.3: The indication information is of integer type.

[0062] In one embodiment, the base station and the terminal may predetermine that the indication information is of integer type, and the indication information is the integer value corresponding to the candidate paging cause. In one embodiment, the integer value corresponding to the paging cause may be a predefined value, such as 0 or 1. For example, if the paging cause is voice, the indication information corresponding to voice may be predefined as 0, and the indication information 0 may be carried in the sent paging signaling.

[0063] In one embodiment, in response to the indication information being an integer value, the indication information occupies at least one bit. For example, if 0 or 1 is used as the indication information, the indication information may occupy one bit. If other integer values ​​are used as the indication information, the indication information may occupy multiple bits.

[0064] In one embodiment, the paging reason may be carried in the PagingRecord unit of the paging signaling. The specific form thereof may refer to the above embodiments 1.1 and 1.2, which will not be described in detail here.

[0065] Embodiment 2: There are multiple preset candidate paging reasons.

[0066] In one embodiment, the terminal and the base station may predetermine a plurality of candidate paging causes, and the paging cause of the terminal determined by the base station may be at least one of the plurality of candidate paging causes. The base station then carries the indication information of each determined paging cause in the paging signaling and sends it to the terminal.

[0067] For example, the preset candidate paging reasons include voice, message, calling voice, called voice, data exchange domain voice, circuit switch domain voice, video, etc. The base station can determine that the paging reason is at least one of the multiple candidate paging reasons. For example, if the paging reason is determined to be voice, the base station carries the indication information of voice in the paging signaling; or if the paging reason is determined to be voice and message, the base station carries the indication information of voice and the indication information of message in the paging signaling. Of course, the candidate paging reasons such as voice and message are only shown here as examples. In actual applications, the preset candidate paging reasons may also include others. For the convenience of description, each candidate paging reason is described as spareM (M=1, 2, 3...) in the following examples.

[0068] In one embodiment, the multiple candidate paging causes may also include information indicating an unknown cause. For example, when the base station cannot determine the paging cause of the paging signaling, it may send a paging signaling carrying information indicating an unknown cause to the terminal. Thus, upon receiving the paging signaling, the terminal may determine that the paging cause is unknown.

[0069] In one embodiment, the base station and the terminal may predetermine a correspondence between the indication information and the candidate paging causes. In one embodiment, after receiving the paging signaling, the terminal may search for the paging cause indicated by the indication information in the correspondence.

[0070] In one embodiment, the base station and the terminal may pre-set the data type of the indication information, for example, it may be an enumeration type, a Boolean type, or an integer type, etc., which are respectively described below with examples.

[0071] Example 2.1: The indication information is of enumeration type.

[0072] In one embodiment, the base station and the terminal may predetermine that the indication information is of an enumeration type, whereby the indication information is an enumeration value corresponding to at least one of the candidate paging causes. For example, the enumeration value corresponding to the paging cause may be the name of each paging cause, such as voice, message, etc. Alternatively, the enumeration value may be another preset value, such as an identifier A, B, or C.

[0073] In one embodiment, the indication information received by the terminal may be at least one enumeration value. The terminal may determine at least one candidate paging cause corresponding to the at least one enumeration value based on a preset correspondence between each candidate paging cause and the indication information. For example, if the enumeration value received by the terminal is "voice", the terminal may determine that the paging cause corresponding to the enumeration value is "voice". If the terminal receives the enumeration value A, the terminal may determine that the paging cause corresponding to the enumeration value A is "voice" based on a preset correspondence, for example, the enumeration value A may correspond to "voice".

[0074] Taking the indication information carried in the PagingRecord unit of the paging signaling as an example, the PagingRecord unit in the LTE network can be:

[0075]

[0076] Taking the indication information carried in the PagingRecord element of the paging signaling as an example, the PagingRecord element in the NR network can be:

[0077]

[0078]

[0079] It should be noted that in the above embodiment, for ease of description, the candidate paging causes are denoted as spare1, spare2, and spare3, which is not a specific limitation. In actual applications, more or fewer candidate paging causes may be included. Here, spareN can be calling voice, called voice, data switching domain voice, circuit switching domain voice, video, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0080] Example 2.2: The indication information is of string type.

[0081] In one embodiment, the base station and the terminal may predetermine that the indication information is of a string type, and the indication information is a string corresponding to at least one of the candidate paging causes. For example, the string corresponding to the paging cause may be a string corresponding to the name of each paging cause, such as "voice" or "message." Alternatively, the enumeration value may be another string, such as "stringA" or "stringB," and the string corresponds to each paging cause, for example, "stringA" corresponds to voice and "stringB" corresponds to message.

[0082] In one embodiment, the indication information received by the terminal may be at least one character string. The terminal may determine at least one candidate paging cause corresponding to the at least one character string based on a preset correspondence between each candidate paging cause and the indication information. For example, if the character string received by the terminal is "voice", the terminal may determine that the paging cause corresponding to the enumeration value is voice; if the character string received by the terminal is "stringA", the terminal may determine the paging cause corresponding to the character string "stringA" based on a preset correspondence, for example, "stringA" may correspond to voice.

[0083] Example 2.3: The indication information is of integer type.

[0084] In one embodiment, the base station and the terminal may predetermine that the indication information is of integer type, and the indication information is an integer value corresponding to at least one of the candidate paging reasons. For example, the integer value corresponding to the paging reason may be 0, 1, 2, 3, etc., and each integer value corresponds to a paging reason, for example, 1 corresponds to voice, and 2 corresponds to message.

[0085] In one embodiment, the indication information received by the terminal may be at least one integer value. The terminal may determine at least one candidate paging cause corresponding to the at least one integer value based on a preset correspondence between candidate paging causes and the indication information. For example, if the terminal receives an integer value of 1, the terminal may determine the paging cause corresponding to the integer value of 1 based on a preset correspondence, such as 1 corresponding to voice.

[0086] In one embodiment, the base station and the terminal may predetermine that the indication information is an integer type, and the indication information occupies at least log2N bits; where N is the number of types of paging reasons. For example, if there are 8 candidate paging reasons, each corresponding to 8 indication information, the indication information occupies at least 3 (i.e., log28) bits. Alternatively, more bits may be used for indication, and this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0087] This concludes the introduction to a specific embodiment in which the candidate paging causes include one or more. Of course, this is merely an example. In actual applications, the paging signaling may also carry the paging cause in other ways, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0088] In one embodiment, the base station may apply the method described in the above embodiment to indicate a paging reason to a multi-card terminal, wherein the multi-card terminal is configured with at least a first SIM card and a second SIM card, and the paging reason includes the paging reason of the first SIM card and / or the paging reason of the second SIM card.

[0089] In one embodiment, the terminal may implement corresponding processing strategies based on the paging reasons corresponding to the first SIM card and the second SIM card. For example, if a communication operation of the first SIM card conflicts with a communication operation of the second SIM card, the terminal may determine which communication operation to execute based on the paging reasons of the first SIM card and the paging reasons of the second SIM card, or determine the execution order of the two communication operations.

[0090] In one embodiment, the base station may send the paging reason of the first SIM card or the paging reason of the second SIM card to the terminal.

[0091] For example, when the first SIM card is performing a communication operation, such as a voice call, the base station may send paging signaling containing a paging reason to the second SIM card. The terminal may then receive the paging reason from the second SIM card and, based on the paging reason previously received from the first SIM card, determine whether to respond to the paging signaling from the second SIM card. This is merely an example, and other situations may occur in actual applications, which are not limited in this embodiment.

[0092] In one embodiment, the base station can send the paging reason for the first SIM card and the paging reason for the second SIM card to the terminal. This allows the paging reasons for multiple SIM cards to be transmitted using a single paging signaling message, improving communication efficiency between the base station and the terminal. Furthermore, the terminal can obtain the paging reasons corresponding to multiple SIM cards based on the received single paging signaling message, eliminating the need for additional queries or acquisitions, thereby improving terminal processing efficiency.

[0093] In one embodiment, the first SIM card and the second SIM card correspond to the same base station, and the base station can obtain the paging reasons of the two SIM cards and send them to the terminal when necessary. In one embodiment, the first SIM card and the second SIM card can also correspond to different base stations, and one base station can obtain the paging reason from the other base station.

[0094] For example, when the first SIM card is performing a communication operation, such as a voice call, the base station can include the paging reason for the first SIM card and the paging reason for the second SIM card in the paging signaling to the second SIM card, so that the terminal can directly handle the received paging signaling. For example, the terminal can determine the priority of the communication operations corresponding to the two SIM cards based on the paging reason of the first SIM card and the paging reason of the second SIM card, thereby determining the order in which to execute the communication operations, or determine to execute the communication operation corresponding to only one of the SIM cards.

[0095] Figure 2 This is a schematic flow chart illustrating a method for determining information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The information determination method illustrated in this embodiment can be applied to terminals, including but not limited to electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, wearable devices, sensors, and IoT devices. The terminal can communicate with a base station as a user device, including but not limited to a 4G base station, a 5G base station, and a 6G base station. In one embodiment, the base station can be a base station to which the information indication method described in any of the preceding embodiments is applicable.

[0096] like Figure 2 As shown, the information determination method may include the following steps:

[0097] In step S201, a paging signaling sent by a base station is received; wherein the paging signaling carries indication information of a paging reason.

[0098] In step S202, the paging reason of the paging signaling is determined based on the indication information.

[0099] In one embodiment, the base station may send a paging signaling to the terminal, and carry the paging reason indication information in the paging signaling. Thus, after receiving the paging signaling, the terminal may parse the paging signaling to obtain the indication information, and then determine the paging reason of the paging signaling according to the indication information.

[0100] Based on the paging cause, the terminal can implement a variety of optimization processing schemes. In one embodiment, the terminal can determine the processing strategy for the paging signaling according to the paging cause, for example, it can determine whether to respond to the paging signaling, or it can determine the execution order of the communication operations corresponding to the paging signaling. The specific implementation of the terminal can be found in Figure 1 The embodiments shown will not be described in detail here.

[0101] In one embodiment, the paging signaling sent by the base station may be paging signaling in an LTE network, or may be paging signaling in an NR network, or may be paging signaling in other networks, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0102] Thus, it is completed Figure 2 According to the embodiment shown. Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the terminal can determine the paging cause through the paging signaling sent by the base station, thereby executing the corresponding processing strategy based on the paging cause, improving execution efficiency. Furthermore, the terminal does not need to request the paging cause from the base station, improving interaction efficiency and avoiding signaling waste.

[0103] In one embodiment, the base station may carry indication information of the paging cause in the paging record PagingRecord unit of the paging signaling. Thus, the terminal may determine the paging cause of the paging signaling based on the indication information, including: obtaining a parameter unit for carrying the indication information in the paging record PagingRecord unit of the paging signaling; and determining the paging cause based on the indication information.

[0104] In one embodiment, candidate paging reasons may be preset. The base station then determines the paging reason corresponding to the terminal based on the candidate paging reasons and sends the paging reason indication information to the terminal in paging signaling. The terminal may receive the paging signaling and determine the corresponding paging reason based on the indication information.

[0105] In one embodiment, the candidate paging cause may include one, and the paging cause is a preset candidate paging cause; the method for determining the paging cause based on the indication information includes:

[0106] In response to the indication information being an enumeration value, determining a candidate paging cause corresponding to the enumeration value;

[0107] Alternatively, in response to the indication information being a Boolean value, determining a candidate paging cause corresponding to the Boolean value;

[0108] Alternatively, in response to the indication information being an integer value, a candidate paging cause corresponding to the integer value is determined.

[0109] In one embodiment, in response to the indication information being an integer value, the indication information occupies at least 1 bit.

[0110] It should be noted that the base station and the terminal can pre-set the data type of the indication information, for example, an enumeration type, a Boolean type, or an integer type. For each of these three data types, the indication information can be an enumeration value, a Boolean value, or an integer value, respectively. Thus, the terminal can determine the corresponding candidate paging cause based on the indication information and use the candidate paging cause as the paging cause for the current paging signaling.

[0111] In one embodiment, the candidate paging reasons may include multiple reasons, and the paging reason is at least one of the preset multiple candidate paging reasons; the terminal is preset with a correspondence between each candidate paging reason and the indication information;

[0112] In response to the indication information being at least one enumeration value, determining at least one candidate paging cause corresponding to the at least one enumeration value based on the corresponding relationship;

[0113] Alternatively, in response to the indication information being at least one character string, determining at least one candidate paging cause corresponding to the at least one character string based on the corresponding relationship;

[0114] Alternatively, in response to the indication information being at least one integer value, at least one candidate paging cause corresponding to the at least one integer value is determined based on the corresponding relationship.

[0115] In one embodiment, in response to the indication information being an integer value, the indication information occupies at least log2N bits, where N is the number of the candidate paging reasons.

[0116] In one embodiment, the base station and the terminal may predetermine a correspondence between the indication information and the candidate paging causes. In one embodiment, after receiving the paging signaling, the terminal may search for the paging cause indicated by the indication information in the correspondence.

[0117] It should be noted that the base station and the terminal can pre-set the data type of the indication information, for example, an enumeration type, a Boolean type, or an integer type. Furthermore, for each of these three different data types, the indication information can be an enumeration value, a Boolean value, or an integer value, respectively. Thus, for each data type, the terminal can search the corresponding relationship for at least one candidate paging cause corresponding to the indication information and use this at least one candidate paging cause as the paging cause corresponding to the current paging signaling.

[0118] In one embodiment, the information determination method described in the above embodiment can be applied to a multi-SIM terminal. The multi-SIM terminal is configured with at least a first SIM card and a second SIM card; determining the paging cause of the paging signaling based on the indication information includes: determining the paging cause corresponding to the paging signaling of the first SIM card and / or the paging cause corresponding to the paging signaling of the second SIM card based on the indication information.

[0119] In one embodiment, the base station may send the paging reason of the first SIM card or the paging reason of the second SIM card to the terminal, so that the terminal can determine the execution strategy of the communication operations corresponding to the two SIM cards according to the paging reason.

[0120] In one embodiment, the base station can send the paging reason for the first SIM card and the paging reason for the second SIM card to the terminal. This allows the paging reasons for multiple SIM cards to be transmitted using a single paging signaling message, improving communication efficiency between the base station and the terminal. Furthermore, the terminal can obtain the paging reasons corresponding to multiple SIM cards based on the received single paging signaling message, eliminating the need for additional queries or acquisitions, thereby improving terminal processing efficiency.

[0121] Corresponding to the aforementioned embodiments of the information indication method, the present disclosure also provides embodiments of an information indication device.

[0122] Figure 3 This is a schematic block diagram of an information indication device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0125] In one embodiment, the information indicating device may include:

[0127] In one embodiment, the paging reason is a preset candidate paging reason;

[0128] The indication information is an enumeration value corresponding to the candidate paging cause; or, the indication information is a Boolean value corresponding to the candidate paging cause; or, the indication information is an integer value corresponding to the candidate paging cause.

[0129] In one embodiment, in response to the indication information being an integer value, the indication information occupies at least 1 bit.

[0130] In one embodiment, the paging reason is at least one of a plurality of preset candidate paging reasons;
