[0116] In one optional embodiment of the application, activation may also be referred to as: valid, enabled. Invalid may mean not enabled, not present. In one optional embodiment of the invention, a subscriber data invalid deregistration status, such as 5GMM-DEREGISTERED.NO-SUPI, indicates that the terminal has no corresponding valid subscriber data (e.g., USIM is unavailable, or subscriber data is unavailable).

[0117] In one optional embodiment of this application, idle time may be included.

[0118] In one optional embodiment of this application, the idle or available device identifier includes: a device identifier not bound to subscriber data, and a device identifier not in a registered state. For example, a terminal can use its device identifier to initiate emergency registration. In this case, in one implementation, even if the device identifier is not bound to any subscriber data, the device identifier is considered to be occupied and cannot be bound to subscriber data again. When the device identifier goes to register, the terminal can consider the device identifier to have returned to an idle state.

[0119] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the subscriber data may be used for at least one of the following: terminal access to the network, network authentication and / or authorization of terminal access, and network identification of the terminal.

[0120] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the network corresponding to the subscriber data is the network to which the terminal is subscribed. For example, if the terminal is subscribed to network A, the subscriber data corresponding to network A can be obtained before the subscriber data can be used to access network A and / or other networks that allow roaming.

[0121] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the subscriber data includes at least one of the following: a certificate, contract data, a terminal subscriber identifier, and information about the network corresponding to the subscriber data.

[0122] In an optional embodiment of the invention, the certificate in the subscriber data is the subscriber's network certificate. In one embodiment, a set of subscriber data includes one or a set of certificates.

[0123] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the subscription data in the subscriber data is the subscriber's subscription information on the subscription network. The subscription data may be a collection of the subscriber's subscription information for a set of network services, such as at least one of the following: voice, SMS, and data traffic.

[0124] In one implementation, subscriber data includes a terminal subscriber identifier (such as a terminal identifier). In this case, the terminal subscriber identifier can be a permanent terminal subscriber identifier (such as a SUPI or IMSI).

[0125] In one implementation, a subscriber's data includes a network or a group of networks.

[0126] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the network information includes at least one of the following: a network identifier and a network type. The network type includes at least one of the following: a public network (such as a PLMN) and a non-public network. The non-public network includes: a standalone non-public network (such as an SNPN) and an integrated non-public network (such as a PNI NPN).

[0127] Each subscriber data pair is applied to a terminal identifier and / or a network, wherein each set of subscriber data can be used for a registration.

[0128] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, UICC type subscriber data includes subscriber data stored in a UICC. UICC type subscriber data may be, for example, subscriber data in USIM format. UICC type subscriber data may be referred to as USIM.

[0129] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, non-UICC type subscriber data includes subscriber data that is not stored in UICC;

[0130] In an optional embodiment of the invention, subscriber data can be represented as a USIM, and a record in the subscriber data list is, for example, an entry of the "list of subscriber data" with the SNPN identity of the SNPN.

[0131] In one optional embodiment of this application, a subscriber can be understood as a UE, and a terminal with multiple subscribers can be represented as multiple UEs. From the network's perspective, a subscriber is a UE. When a terminal accesses the network through data from multiple subscribers, from the network's perspective, the terminal is multiple UEs.

[0132] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the user or subscriber is a subscriber; generally, one subscriber can correspond to one certificate. One subscriber represents one UE. It is easy to understand that when a terminal device has multiple subscribers, it can represent multiple UEs.

[0133] In this application embodiment, the following problems need to be solved:

[0134] Question 1: Emergency registration generally only allows initiating emergency calls. During an emergency call, the terminal should ideally remain on the network. Paging is generally not supported during emergency registration, and all paging reason indications are typically unavailable. One proposed approach is to discontinue support for multi-subscriber terminal optimization features under emergency registration, instead having the terminal send a message to the network stating that multi-subscriber terminal optimization features (such as the MUSIM feature) are not supported. Subsequently, "multi-subscriber function" will be used as a shorthand for multi-subscriber terminal optimization features. The problem is that the terminal might be untrusted, still sending messages indicating its multi-subscriber capability to the network even under emergency registration.

[0135] To address the above issues, one solution is to have the network indicate to the terminal that multi-subscriber functionality is not supported, regardless of whether the terminal sends a message to the network indicating whether it has multi-subscriber capability or not. Another solution is to allow the terminal to release the connection, but indicate to the terminal that other multi-subscriber functions besides connection release are not supported.

[0136] In addition, generally speaking, when the terminal receives a network notification indicating that multi-subscriber functionality is not supported, it will not perform the corresponding multi-subscriber functionality-related operations. However, the terminal still performs some multi-subscriber functionality-related operations that are not limited by the network's notification of multi-subscriber functionality support or non-support, including: 1) When a paging conflict occurs or when it is necessary to update the terminal's temporary identifier (such as the 5G-Globally Unique Temporary UE Identity, 5G-GUTI), it sends a mobile registration request to the first network. 2) When mobile registration occurs due to moving out of the location area, it can send a paging restriction (PR) to the first network. Operation 1) does not have a corresponding network notification indicating whether multi-subscriber functionality is supported or not. When operation 2) occurs, the terminal may not yet receive the network's notification indicating whether multi-subscriber functionality is supported or not.

[0137] One solution is that, in the event of an emergency registration, the terminal test will not perform operations 1) and 2).

[0138] Question 2: When the amount of subscriber data (such as network certificates and / or subscription data) on a terminal exceeds the number of device identifiers, some subscribers will fail to pass the network's terminal device identifier verification when the terminal uses subscriber data to access the network. However, considering the terminal's radio frequency capabilities, the number of subscriber data that a terminal can simultaneously activate is limited, such as registering with two networks at the same time. Therefore, configuring a device identifier for each subscriber data is a significant waste. One solution is that the terminal can maintain a large amount of subscriber data, but the number of subscriber data activated simultaneously should not exceed the terminal's device identifier limit. This would both support network device identifier verification for the terminal and reduce the waste of device identifiers. However, if the binding between the terminal device identifier and subscriber data is unbound or changed when the UE is in the network registration or connected state, it may cause the network to detect a change or loss of a subscriber's device identifier, resulting in network chaos. One solution is that when the terminal registers with a network using subscriber data, the terminal maintains the terminal device identifier corresponding to the subscriber data unchanged during the registration process. When the terminal registers with the network, the binding relationship between the two can be released.

[0139] In one optional embodiment of this application, the terminal identifier includes at least one of the following: a permanent terminal identifier (such as SUPI, SUCI, IMSI), and a temporary terminal identifier (such as GUTI, 5G GUTI).

[0140] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the terminal identifier may be a terminal subscriber identifier (such as a UE identifier) ​​or a terminal user identifier (such as a UE identifier).

[0141] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the location area is a region configured by the network for the terminal. When the terminal moves out of the location area, a mobile registration request needs to be initiated. The location area is also called the registration area. The mobile registration request can also be called a location update request.

[0142] In one optional embodiment of this application, the temporary terminal identifier includes: a temporary terminal identifier and a temporary UE identifier.

[0143] In one optional embodiment of this application, the terminal identifier does not include a terminal device identifier.

[0144] In one optional embodiment of this application, the type of the terminal device identifier includes at least one of the following: Permanent Equipment Identifier (PEI), International Mobile Station Equipment Identity (IMEI), and International Mobile Station Equipment Identity and Software Version number (IMEISv).

[0145] In one optional embodiment of this application, the emergency services include: emergency voice service, emergency callback, and emergency call.

[0146] In one optional embodiment of this application, the subscriber or subscriber data includes: SIM, USIM, and subscriber data of non-(U)SIM (such as non-USIM and / or SIM) type. Non-(U)SIM type subscriber data may include at least one of the following: a virtual card, or subscriber data stored on a terminal device (such as ME). Therefore, multiple subscribers include multiple USIMs. Multiple subscriber functionality includes multiple USIM functionality.

[0147] In one optional embodiment of this application, multiple subscribers include two or more subscribers.

[0148] In one optional embodiment of this application, connection release includes releasing the connection to a disconnected state, which includes at least one of the following: idle state and inactive state (such as RRC Inactive). In one embodiment, releasing the connection between the terminal and the network includes releasing the connection between the terminal and the network to a disconnected state.

[0207] The information processing method provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0208] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart of an information processing method provided in an embodiment of this application. The method is applied to a first communication device, such as a core network element, which may include, but is not limited to, AMF and MME. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0209] Step 201: If the first condition is met, the first communication device performs the first operation;

[0210] The first operation includes at least one of the following: a second operation, a third operation;

[0211] The second operation includes at least one of the following:

[0212] (a) Confirm one of the following: The first function is not supported, or the multi-subscriber function is not supported;

[0213] (b) Save one of the following in the terminal context: First function not supported, multi-subscriber function not supported;

[0214] (c) Send one of the following to the first target terminal: the first function is not supported, the multi-subscriber function is not supported; the multi-subscriber function is an optimized function for multi-subscriber terminals;

[0215] The third operation includes at least one of the following:

[0216] (a) Deny the terminal's request for an operation related to the first function, or deny the terminal's request for an operation related to the multi-subscriber function;

[0218] (c) Not performing operations related to the first function for the terminal, or not performing operations related to the multi-subscriber function for the terminal;

[0219] (d) Based on the connection release request information of the terminal, perform at least one of the following: deregister the terminal, release the connection between the terminal and the network;

[0220] (e) Based on the terminal's paging rejection information, perform at least one of the following: stop paging the terminal, deregister the terminal, and release the connection between the terminal and the network;

[0221] The first target end includes at least one of the following: a terminal, a RAN network element.

[0222] In one implementation, the first function not supporting means one of the following: the first network does not support the first function, or the first network does not have the relevant capabilities of the first function;

[0223] In one implementation, the multi-subscriber function not being supported means one of the following: the first network does not support the multi-subscriber function, or the first network does not have the relevant capabilities for the multi-subscriber function.

[0224] In one implementation, even if the terminal and / or network have the capability of a first function or multi-subscriber functionality, the first communication device sends a message to the first target terminal indicating that the first function is not supported or the multi-subscriber functionality is not supported, provided that a first condition is met. It is easy to understand that this indication of non-support can restrict the terminal's use of the first function or multi-subscriber functionality.

[0225] In one implementation, the first feature is applied only to multi-subscriber terminals; in this case, the first feature is equivalent to the multi-subscriber feature.

[0226] In another implementation, the first function can be applied to terminals other than multi-subscriber terminals.

[0227] In one implementation, if a terminal requests an operation related to the first function that requires a confirmation message, the request can be rejected; if a confirmation message is not required, the request can be ignored.

[0228] In one implementation, if a terminal requests operations related to the multi-subscriber function that require a confirmation message, the request can be rejected; if a confirmation message is not required, the request can be ignored.

[0229] Based on the terminal's connection release request information, perform at least one of the following: deregister the terminal and release the connection between the terminal and the network; based on the terminal's paging rejection information, perform at least one of the following: stop paging the terminal, deregister the terminal, and release the connection between the terminal and the network; in one implementation of the above scenarios, the deregistration is local deregistration (e.g., not sending deregistration signaling to the terminal), and the release of the connection between the terminal and the network can be local release of the connection between the terminal and the network (e.g., not sending connection release signaling to the terminal).

[0230] In one optional embodiment of this application, when the first operation includes the second operation, the first condition includes at least one of the following: the terminal is in emergency registration on the first network, and the terminal is performing emergency services on the first network;

[0231] The first communication device is a network-side device of the first network.

[0232] In an optional embodiment of this application, when the first operation includes the third operation, the first condition includes at least one of the following: the terminal is in emergency registration on the first network, the terminal is performing emergency services on the first network, and the context of the terminal indicates one of the following: the first function is not supported, or the optimized function for multi-subscriber terminals is not supported.

[0233] The first communication device is a network-side device of the first network.

[0234] In one optional embodiment of this application, the first function or multi-subscriber function includes at least one of the following: paging reason indication function, connection release function, paging rejection function, paging restriction function, and paging conflict control function.

[0235] In one implementation, if the first condition is met, the first function not supported includes at least one of the following: paging reason indication function not supported, paging restriction function not supported, paging rejection function not supported, and paging conflict control function not supported. At this time, the connection release function may still be supported.

[0236] In another implementation, if the first condition is met, the first function not supported includes at least one of the following: paging reason indication function not supported, paging restriction function not supported, and paging conflict control function not supported. In this case, connection release function and paging rejection function may still be supported.

[0237] In one implementation, "multi-subscriber functionality not supported" can mean that all optimization features for multi-subscriber terminals are not supported.

[0238] In one optional embodiment of this application, the first function-related operation, or the multi-subscriber function-related operation, includes at least one of the following:

[0239] The paging message carries a paging reason (the paging reason may include voice);

[0240] Release the connection between the terminal and the first network based on the connection release request information from the terminal;

[0241] Paging and / or downlink data (including user plane data and / or control plane data) to the terminal are restricted based on the terminal's paging restriction information;

[0242] Based on the terminal's request, authorize the terminal identifier offset (such as IMSI Offset) to the terminal.

[0243] In one optional embodiment of this application, the terminal's request for a first function-related operation, or the terminal's request for a multi-subscriber function-related operation, includes at least one of the following:

[0244] The terminal sends a connection release request message;

[0245] The terminal's request regarding the terminal identifier offset;

[0246] The terminal's request to update the terminal identifier;

[0247] The terminal sends a paging rejection response;

[0248] The paging restriction information sent by the terminal is used to request paging restrictions on the terminal.

[0249] In one optional embodiment of this application, the step of not performing the first function-related operation on the terminal, or not performing the multi-subscriber function-related operation on the terminal, includes at least one of the following:

[0250] When sending a paging message about the terminal, the paging message does not carry a paging reason (the paging reason includes voice).

[0251] Register the terminal based on the connection release request information of the terminal; do not restrict paging and / or downlink data (including user plane data and / or control plane data) of the terminal;

[0252] Do not authorize terminal identifier offsets (such as IMSI Offset) to the terminal.

[0253] In one optional embodiment of this application, the rejection of the terminal's request for a first function-related operation, or the rejection of the terminal's request for a multi-subscriber function-related operation, includes at least one of the following:

[0254] Deny the terminal's request for terminal identifier offset;

[0255] The terminal's request to update its identifier was rejected.

[0256] Reject paging restriction information sent by the terminal.

[0257] In one optional embodiment of this application, ignoring the terminal's request for a first function-related operation, or ignoring the terminal's request for a multi-subscriber function-related operation, includes at least one of the following:

[0258] Ignore the terminal's request for the terminal identifier offset;

[0259] Ignore the request to update the terminal identifier;

[0260] Ignore paging restriction information sent by the terminal.

[0261] It is easy to understand that, through this embodiment, regardless of whether the terminal requests the first function-related operation or the multi-subscriber function-related operation, the first communication device can indicate to the terminal that the first function is not supported or the multi-subscriber function is not supported. This can enable the network side and the terminal to disable the first function or the multi-subscriber function in certain scenarios (such as emergency business scenarios), thereby improving the reliability of the communication system.

[0262] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart of an information processing method provided in an embodiment of this application, which is applied to a terminal. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0263] Step 301: If the second condition is met, the terminal performs the fourth operation;

[0264] The fourth operation includes at least one of the following:

[0265] (1) The first function is not applied in the first network, or the multi-subscriber function is not applied in the first network; the multi-subscriber function is an optimized function for multi-subscriber terminals;

[0266] (2) Do not initiate first function-related operations on the first network, or do not initiate multi-subscriber function-related operations on the first network;

[0267] (3) Paging optimization is not performed on the first network;

[0268] (4) When the terminal moves out of the location area, resulting in a mobile registration update request, and / or, without knowing whether the first function or the multi-subscriber function is supported in the new location area, the paging restriction information is not sent to the first network.

[0269] (5) If the terminal needs to leave the first network, it shall register with the first network;

[0270] The paging optimization includes at least one of the following: avoiding paging conflicts and optimizing the paging reception probability.

[0271] In one implementation, the paging conflict refers to a conflict between the paging times of the first network to the first subscriber and the paging times of the second network to the second subscriber, where the first subscriber registers on the first network and the second subscriber registers on the second network. If the first subscriber's registration on the first network is urgent, the paging conflict is not resolved on the first network (e.g., a mobile registration request is not sent to the first network); alternatively, the paging conflict can be resolved through the second network.

[0272] In one implementation, when moving out of the location area results in a mobile registration update, the terminal may not yet know whether the first function or multi-subscriber function is supported, and may send paging restriction information to the first network. Therefore, under the condition that two conditions are met, when moving out of the location area results in a mobile registration update, paging restriction information is not sent to the first network.

[0273] In one optional embodiment of this application, the second condition includes: the terminal performing emergency registration on the first network.

[0274] In one optional embodiment of this application, the second condition further includes at least one of the following: the paging time of the terminal in the first network conflicts with the paging time of the terminal in other networks;

[0275] The terminal's paging reception probability in the first network decreases, or the terminal needs to increase its paging reception probability in the first network.

[0276] In one optional embodiment of this application, the first function or multi-subscriber function includes at least one of the following: paging reason indication function, connection release function, paging rejection function, paging restriction function, and paging conflict control function.

[0277] In one optional embodiment of this application, the step of not performing paging optimization on the first network includes: not performing a fifth operation on the first network; wherein the fifth operation includes at least one of the following: a request to update a temporary terminal identifier triggered by paging optimization, the temporary terminal identifier being a temporary terminal identifier assigned to a terminal by the first network; sending a mobile registration request to the first network triggered by paging optimization; a request to the first network triggered by paging optimization, the request to the first network including one of the following: updating a terminal identifier, a terminal identifier offset; and requesting paging restrictions to the first network triggered by paging optimization.

[0278] In one implementation, the fifth operation is independent of the capabilities of the first function or the multi-subscriber function. That is, the fifth operation can still be performed even if the first function or the multi-subscriber function is not supported. Therefore, it is necessary to specify that the fifth operation should not be performed on the first network if two conditions are met.

[0279] In one optional embodiment of this application, not initiating a first function-related operation on the first network, or not initiating a multi-subscriber function-related operation on the first network, includes at least one of the following:

[0280] Do not send a connection release request message to the first network;

[0281] Do not send a request for the terminal identifier offset to the first network;

[0282] Do not send requests to the first network regarding updating the terminal identifier (such as mobile registration requests, which would trigger a temporary terminal identifier update);

[0283] A paging rejection response is not sent to the primary network;

[0284] Paging restriction information not sent to the first network.

[0285] In one optional embodiment of this application, deregistering with the first network includes one of the following:

[0286] Send a registration request to the first network;

[0287] Register locally on the first network, for example, by setting the first network status to register.

[0288] In one implementation, local registration with the first network may not require sending a registration request to the first network.

[0289] It is easy to understand that, through this embodiment, in an emergency registration scenario, the terminal can disable operations related to the first function or the multi-subscriber function. In particular, for some multi-subscriber function-related operations, which are not limited by whether the network sends the first function or the multi-subscriber function is supported or not, they can be disabled at the terminal level in an emergency registration scenario to ensure communication reliability.

[0290] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart of an information processing method provided in an embodiment of this application, which is applied to a terminal. Figure 4 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0291] Step 401: If the third condition is met, the terminal executes the sixth operation;

[0292] The sixth operation includes at least one of the following:

[0293] The first function is applied in the first network application, or the multi-subscriber function; the multi-subscriber function is an optimized function for multi-subscriber terminals.

[0294] Initiating a first function-related operation on the first network, or being able to initiate a multi-subscriber function-related operation on the first network;

[0295] Paging optimization is performed on the first network;

[0296] When the terminal moves out of the location area, resulting in a mobile registration update request, and / or, without knowing whether the first function or the multi-subscriber function is supported in the new location area, a paging restriction message is sent to the first network.

[0297] In one implementation, applying a first function, or a multi-subscriber function, to a first network includes determining that the first function, or the multi-subscriber function, can be applied to the first network.

[0298] In one implementation, initiating a first function-related operation on a first network includes determining that the first function-related operation can be initiated on the first network.

[0299] In one implementation, initiating multi-subscriber function-related operations on a first network includes determining that multi-subscriber function-related operations can be initiated on the first network.

[0300] In one implementation, paging optimization is performed on a first network, including determining that paging optimization can be performed on the first network.

[0301] When the terminal needs to leave the first network, it can send a connection release request to the first network.

[0302] The paging optimization includes at least one of the following: avoiding paging conflicts and optimizing the paging reception probability.

[0303] In one optional embodiment of this application, the third condition includes: the type of registration performed by the terminal on the first network does not include emergency registration.

[0304] In one optional embodiment of this application, the third condition further includes at least one of the following: the paging time of the terminal in the first network conflicts with the paging time of the terminal in other networks;

[0305] The terminal's paging reception probability in the first network decreases, or the terminal needs to increase its paging reception probability in the first network.

[0306] In one optional embodiment of this application, the first function or multi-subscriber function includes at least one of the following: paging reason indication function, connection release function, paging rejection function, paging restriction function, and paging conflict control function.

[0307] In one optional embodiment of this application, the ability to perform paging optimization in the first network includes: being able to perform a fifth operation in the first network;

[0308] in,

[0309] The fifth operation includes at least one of the following:

[0310] The need to update the temporary terminal identifier triggered by paging optimization, wherein the temporary terminal identifier is a temporary terminal identifier assigned to the terminal by the first network;

[0311] A mobile registration request is sent to the first network, triggered by paging optimization.

[0312] A request to the first network triggered by paging optimization, the request to the first network including one of the following: updating the terminal identifier, terminal identifier offset;

[0313] Paging request restrictions to the first network triggered by paging optimization.

[0314] It is easy to understand that, through this embodiment, in non-emergency registration scenarios, the terminal can perform the relevant operations of the first function or the multi-subscriber function, thereby achieving communication optimization.

[0315] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a flowchart of an information processing method provided in an embodiment of this application, which is applied to a terminal. Figure 5 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0316] Step 501: If the fourth condition is met, the terminal executes the seventh operation;

[0317] The fourth condition includes at least one of the following:

[0318] The terminal is in a registered or connected state on the third network;

[0319] The terminal accesses a third network using first subscriber data.

[0320] The terminal uses a first terminal device identifier to authenticate through the device identifier of the third network, or the terminal device identifier bound to the first subscriber data is bound to the first terminal device identifier.

[0321] The seventh operation includes at least one of the following:

[0322] Keep the terminal device identifier corresponding to the first subscriber data as the first terminal device identifier;

[0323] When the third network requests to obtain the device identifier of the terminal, the first terminal device identifier is returned to the third network.

[0324] In one optional embodiment of this application, maintaining the terminal device identifier corresponding to the first subscriber data as the first terminal device identifier includes at least one of the following: before the terminal registers with the third network and / or from the perspective of the third network, maintaining the terminal device identifier corresponding to the first subscriber data as the first terminal device identifier.

[0325] It is easy to understand that, through this embodiment, when the terminal is in a registered or connected state on the network, the terminal device identifier is kept bound to the subscriber data to ensure device identifier verification through the network.

[0326] In this embodiment 1, as Figure 6 As shown, the registration process triggered by the UE may include:

[0327] Step 601: The UE sends a registration request message to the first communication device (e.g., AMF);

[0328] The registration request message indicates that the registration type is emergency registration.

[0329] Step 602: The first communication device sends a registration acceptance message to the UE. In the registration acceptance message, the first communication device indicates to the UE that the first function is not supported or the multiple subscriber function (such as the Multiple USIM function) is not supported.

[0330] It should be noted that the information processing method provided in this application embodiment can be executed by an information processing device, or by a control module within that information processing device for executing the information processing method. This application embodiment uses an information processing device executing the information processing method as an example to illustrate the information processing device provided in this application embodiment.
