Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of communications, and in particular to information reporting methods, information reporting devices, and storage media. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of wireless communication technology, multi-SIM terminals are becoming increasingly common in the market. Currently, the handling methods for multi-SIM terminals are mainly based on the implementations of individual terminal manufacturers, leading to many different terminal behaviors and processing methods. Examples include dual-SIM single-standby, dual-SIM dual-standby single-pass, and dual-SIM dual-standby dual-pass, which can potentially cause problems. For instance, when a multi-SIM terminal is communicating with the first system, it needs to periodically switch the connection to the second system for operations such as listening to paging, performing measurements, and reading system messages. This can impact the performance of the first system. If these operations are not performed on the second system, such as not listening to paging, the service on the second system may not be established. For some operations, the multi-SIM terminal needs to release the RRC (Radio Resource Control) connection with the first system, such as time-consuming operations; for other operations, the multi-SIM terminal does not need to release the RRC connection with the first system, such as short-duration operations.

[0003] Multi-SIM terminals need to know the paging reason from the second system in order to better decide whether to leave the first system and whether to release the RRC connection with the first system. This requires the base station to inform them of the paging reason, but currently, base stations do not support the exchange of paging reason capabilities. Summary of the Invention

[0062] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0063] The terminology used in this disclosure is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the disclosure. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” as used in this disclosure and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used herein refers to and includes any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0064] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used in this disclosure to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are used only to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this disclosure, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "when," "when," or "in response to determination."

[0065] This disclosure provides an information reporting method, referring to... Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an information reporting method according to one embodiment, which can be used in a terminal. The terminal includes, but is not limited to, a terminal that supports one or more SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) cards. The method may include the following steps:

[0066] In step 101, paging reason capability information sent by at least one first base station is received, wherein the paging reason capability information is used to indicate at least whether the first base station supports paging reason capability.

[0067] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the paging reason capability information can also be used to indicate the specific paging reason capability supported by the first base station. The paging reason capability corresponds to different paging reasons. Paging reasons include, but are not limited to, requiring the terminal to listen to paging messages, requiring the terminal to perform measurements, requiring the terminal to read system messages, etc. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0068] In step 102, at least based on the paging reason capability information, a target base station supporting paging reason capability is determined in the first base station.

[0069] In the embodiments of this disclosure, some base stations support paging reasons, while others do not. They send their paging reason capabilities to the terminal, and the terminal determines the base station that supports paging reason capabilities, i.e., the target base station, based on the received paging reason capability information.

[0070] In step 103, the base station information of the target base station is reported to the second base station that has been accessed.

[0071] In this embodiment, the second base station is the base station currently accessed by the terminal, and the second base station and the aforementioned first base station can be different base stations. Based on the received paging reason capability information, the terminal can determine the target base station supporting the paging reason capability among the first base stations, and report the base station information of the target base station to the currently accessed second base station, so that the second base station can determine the base station information of the target base station supporting the paging reason capability. The base station information of the target base station includes, but is not limited to, the base station identifier information of the target base station.

[0072] In the above embodiments, the paging reason capabilities supported by each base station can be exchanged through terminal information reporting. Especially in the case where there is no interface between base stations, the paging reason capabilities supported by each base station can be exchanged, thereby improving the availability of the paging reason mechanism.

[0073] In some optional embodiments, the terminal is in a disconnected state, which includes, but is not limited to, an inactive state, an idle state, etc. Accordingly, the first base station includes at least one of the following: the base station of the cell where the terminal is stationed; and / or the neighboring base station of the cell where the terminal is stationed.

[0074] That is, the terminal can receive paging reason capability information sent by the base station of the cell it is camped on, and / or receive paging reason capability information sent by neighboring base stations of the cell it is camped on. This allows it to determine the base station information of the target base station that supports paging reason capability. The base station information of the target base station includes, but is not limited to, the base station identifier information of the target base station. Further, the terminal reports the base station information of the target base station to the second base station it is accessing.

[0075] In the above embodiments, a non-connected terminal can determine the base station information of the target base station that supports paging reason capability, and when the terminal connects to a second base station, it can report the base station information of the target base station to the second base station. This achieves the goal of enabling base stations to exchange their respective supported paging reason capabilities, improving the availability of the paging reason mechanism, especially when there is no interface between base stations.

[0076] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating an information reporting method according to an embodiment, which can be used in a terminal. The terminal includes, but is not limited to, a terminal supporting one or more SIM cards. The method may include the following steps:

[0077] In step 201, before switching to the disconnected state, the first measurement configuration information sent by the third base station is received.

[0078] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal can receive the first measurement configuration information from the third base station before switching to the disconnected state.

[0079] In one possible implementation, the third base station includes, but is not limited to, the last base station accessed by the terminal before it switched to the inactive state. In this embodiment, if the terminal switches to the inactive state, the third base station is the anchor base station corresponding to the inactive terminal; if the terminal switches to the idle state, the third base station is the last serving base station accessed by the idle terminal.

[0080] In the embodiments disclosed herein, the third base station may be the same base station or a different base station from the first base station, or the third base station may be the same base station or a different base station from the second base station, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0081] In one possible implementation, the first measurement configuration information may configure the terminal to measure and record the base station information of the target base station that supports paging reason capability after switching to a connectionless state. The base station information of the target base station includes, but is not limited to, the base station identification information of the target base station.

[0082] In another possible implementation, the first measurement configuration information may configure the terminal, after switching to a connectionless state, to measure and record the base station information of the target base station that supports paging reason capability, and configure the terminal, after switching to a connectionless state, to receive paging reason capability information sent by at least one first base station via first signaling. The base station information of the target base station includes, but is not limited to, the base station identification information of the target base station.

[0083] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first signaling may include RRC release signaling and / or RRC reconfiguration signaling, which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0084] The above is merely an illustrative example. Other schemes in which the base station configures and sends measurement configuration information to the terminal, and this measurement configuration information is used to determine the base station information of the target base station that supports paging reason capability after the terminal switches to a non-connected state, should all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0085] In step 202, in response to determining the switch to the disconnected state, paging reason capability information sent by at least one first base station is received.

[0086] The first base station may be the base station of the cell where the terminal is stationed, and / or a neighboring base station of the cell where the terminal is stationed. The paging reason capability information is used at least to indicate whether the first base station supports paging reason capability.

[0087] In step 203, based on the first measurement configuration information and the paging reason capability information, a target base station that supports paging reason capability is determined in the first base station.

[0088] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the terminal determines that it has switched to a non-connected state, such as an inactive state or an idle state, it can determine the target base station that supports the paging reason capability among the first base stations based on the first measurement configuration information previously received and the paging reason capability information sent by at least one first base station, and record the base station information of the target base station.

[0089] In step 204, the base station information of the target base station is reported to the second base station that has been accessed.

[0090] The base station information of the target base station may include, but is not limited to, the base station identifier information of the target base station.

[0091] In the above embodiments, the terminal in the disconnected state can, based on the first measurement configuration information sent by the third base station, measure and record the base station information of the target base station that supports paging reason capability in the first base station after switching to the disconnected state. This information can then be reported to the second base station after accessing the second base station. Thus, the purpose of enabling terminals to exchange their respective supported paging reason capabilities between base stations is achieved, improving the availability of the paging reason mechanism.

[0092] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 3A As shown, Figure 3A This is a flowchart illustrating an information reporting method according to an embodiment, which can be used in a terminal.

[0097] In this embodiment of the disclosure, a terminal in a non-connected state can report the base station information of the target base station that supports paging reason capability, which it has recorded, to the second base station during the process of establishing an RRC connection with the second base station.

[0098] In the above embodiments, after a non-connected terminal determines a target base station that supports paging reason capability, it can report the base station information of the target base station that supports paging reason capability to the second base station during the process of establishing an RRC connection with the second base station. This achieves the purpose of exchanging the paging reason capabilities supported by each base station between the terminals, thereby improving the availability of the paging reason mechanism.

[0109] In step 402, at least based on the paging reason capability information, a target base station supporting paging reason capability is determined in the first base station.

[0110] In step 403, a notification message is sent to the second base station, the notification message being used to notify the second base station that the terminal has recorded the base station information of the target base station.

[0111] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal may notify the second base station through the notification message during or after establishing an RRC connection with the second base station that the terminal has recorded the base station information of the target base station that supports the paging reason capability.

[0112] In step 404, the terminal receives a reporting instruction information sent by the second base station based on the notification message. The reporting instruction information is used to instruct the terminal to report the base station information of the target base station.

[0113] In step 405, based on the reporting instruction information, the base station information of the target base station is reported to the second base station.

[0114] In the above embodiments, after the second base station determines that the terminal has recorded the base station information of the target base station that supports the paging reason capability, it can report the base station information of the target base station to the second base station by reporting the instruction information. This achieves the purpose of the terminal exchanging the paging reason capabilities supported by each base station, thereby improving the availability of the paging reason mechanism.

[0137] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 This is a flowchart illustrating an information reporting method according to an embodiment, which can be used in a terminal. The terminal includes, but is not limited to, a terminal supporting one or more SIM cards. The method may include the following steps:

[0138] In step 701, paging reason capability information sent by at least one first base station is received, wherein the paging reason capability information is used to indicate at least whether the first base station supports paging reason capability.

[0139] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the terminal is in a disconnected state, the first base station includes the base station of the cell where the terminal is located; and / or the neighboring base station of the cell where the terminal is located.

[0140] In step 702, at least based on the paging reason capability information, a target base station supporting paging reason capability is determined in the first base station.

[0143] In the above embodiments, when an RRC connection is established with the second base station, the terminal can directly report the base station information of the target base station it has recorded to the second base station via third signaling without requiring a request from the base station. This information reporting by the terminal enables the exchange of paging reason capabilities supported by each base station, especially in the absence of interfaces between base stations. It improves the usability of the paging reason mechanism by allowing the terminal to exchange its supported paging reason capabilities with each base station.

[0144] The above description is based on the terminal being in a disconnected state. It should be understood that in some alternative embodiments, the terminal may be in a connected state. The following description is based on the terminal being in a disconnected state.

In this state, the terminal can receive paging reason capability information from at least one first base station. This paging reason capability information at least indicates whether the first base station supports paging reason capability. The first base station can be a neighboring base station of the second base station. Further, the terminal reports the base station information of target base stations in the first base station that support paging reason capability to the second base station, so that the second base station can promptly identify neighboring base stations that support paging reason capability.

The first base station is a neighboring base station of the second base station, and the paging reason capability information is used to indicate at least whether the first base station supports paging reason capability.

[0149] In step 802, paging reason capability information sent by at least one first base station is received.

[0150] In step 803, based on the second measurement configuration information and the paging reason capability information, the target base station that supports paging reason capability is determined in the first base station.

[0151] In step 804, the base station information of the target base station is reported to the second base station.

[0152] The base station information of the target base station includes, but is not limited to, the base station identifier information of the target base station.

The first base station is a neighboring base station of the second base station, and the paging reason capability information is used to indicate at least whether the first base station supports paging reason capability.

[0157] In one possible implementation, the terminal can receive second measurement configuration information sent by the second base station via a fifth signaling message, which includes, but is not limited to, RRC connection reconfiguration signaling. Further, the fifth signaling message can specifically be the MeasConfig (information configuration) signaling message within the RRC connection reconfiguration signaling.

[0158] The above is merely an illustrative example. Any scheme that receives measurement configuration information sent by a second base station via signaling, and uses such measurement configuration information to configure the terminal to report base station information of a target base station that supports paging reason capability, should fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.

The terminal includes, but is not limited to, a terminal supporting one or more SIM cards. The method may include the following steps:

[0187] The information reporting method disclosed herein will now be introduced from the perspective of the first base station.

[0188] This disclosure provides an information reporting method, referring to... Figure 12As shown, Figure 12 This is a flowchart illustrating an information reporting method according to an embodiment, which can be used in a first base station. The method may include the following steps:

[0189] In step 1201, paging reason capability information is sent to the terminal, wherein the paging reason capability information is at least used to indicate whether the first base station supports paging reason capability.

[0190] In this embodiment of the disclosure, if the terminal is in a disconnected state, including but not limited to an inactive or idle state, the first base station may be a base station of the cell where the terminal is located, and / or a neighboring base station of the cell where the terminal is located. If the terminal is in a connected state, then the first base station may include a neighboring base station of a second base station, where the second base station is the base station accessed by the terminal.

[0191] In the above embodiments, the first base station can send its own paging reason capability information to the terminal so that the terminal can determine the base station information of the target base station that supports paging reason capability and report it to the second base station it has accessed. This improves the availability of the paging reason mechanism, especially when there is a lack of interfaces between base stations.

[0192] Next, we will introduce the information reporting scheme disclosed in this publication from the perspective of the second base station.

[0193] This disclosure provides an information reporting method, referring to...

The method may include the following steps:

[0194] In step 1301, the receiving terminal reports the base station information of the target base station that supports paging reason capability.

[0195] In the above embodiments, the second base station can receive base station information of the target base station reported by the terminal. This allows for the identification of target base stations that support paging reason capabilities, improving the availability of the paging reason mechanism.

[0196] In some optional embodiments, for a terminal in a disconnected state, the second base station can receive base station information of a target base station that supports paging reason capability reported by the terminal during the process of establishing an RRC connection with the terminal.

[0197] In some optional embodiments, for a terminal in a disconnected state, the second base station can receive base station information of a target base station that supports paging reason capability reported by the terminal after establishing an RRC connection with the terminal.

[0198] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 14 As shown, Figure 14This is a flowchart illustrating an information reporting method according to an embodiment, which can be used in a second base station, where the second base station is the base station accessed by the terminal. The method may include the following steps:

[0199] In step 1401, a notification message is sent by the receiving terminal, which is used to notify the second base station that the terminal has recorded the base station information of the target base station.

[0200] In this embodiment of the disclosure, for a terminal in a non-connected state, the second base station may receive a notification message sent by the terminal during or after establishing an RRC connection with the terminal, and determine, based on the notification message, that the terminal has recorded base station information of a target base station that supports paging reason capability.

[0201] In step 1402, based on the notification message, a reporting instruction message is sent to the terminal, which instructs the terminal to report the base station information of the target base station.

[0202] In step 1403, the base station information of the target base station reported by the terminal based on the reporting instruction information is received.

[0203] In the above embodiments, after receiving a notification message sent by the terminal, the second base station can instruct the terminal to report the base station information of the target base station recorded by the terminal, thereby determining the target base station that supports the paging reason capability and improving the availability of the paging reason mechanism.

[0204] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 15 As shown, Figure 15 This is a flowchart illustrating an information reporting method according to an embodiment, which can be used in a second base station, where the second base station is the base station accessed by the terminal. The method may include the following steps:

[0205] In step 1501, a notification message is sent by the receiving terminal, which is used to notify the second base station that the terminal has recorded the base station information of the target base station.

[0206] In this embodiment of the disclosure, for a terminal in a non-connected state, the second base station may receive a notification message sent by the terminal during or after establishing an RRC connection with the terminal, and determine, based on the notification message, that the terminal has recorded base station information of a target base station that supports paging reason capability.

[0207] In step 1502, based on the notification message, a reporting instruction message is sent to the terminal, which instructs the terminal to report the base station information of the target base station.

[0208] The base station information of the target base station includes, but is not limited to, the base station identifier information of the target base station.

[0209] In step 1503, the first reported configuration information is sent to the terminal.

[0210] The first reporting configuration information is used to configure at least one of the reporting content and the first reporting format when the terminal reports the base station information of the target base station. The reporting content includes the base station identifier information of the target base station reported by the terminal, and the first reporting format includes the base station information of the target base station reported by the terminal via a second signaling. The second signaling includes, but is not limited to, UEInformationResponse signaling.

[0211] In step 1504, the base station information of the target base station reported by the terminal based on the first reporting configuration information is received.

[0212] In the above embodiments, the second base station can send first reporting configuration information to the terminal, configuring at least one of the reporting content and first reporting format when the terminal reports base station information of the target base station. This achieves the goal of determining the target base station supporting paging reason capability based on terminal reporting, improving the usability of the paging reason mechanism.

[0213] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 16 As shown, Figure 16 This is a flowchart illustrating an information reporting method according to an embodiment, which can be used in a second base station, where the second base station is the base station accessed by the terminal. The method may include the following steps:

[0214] In step 1601, the terminal receives base station information of a target base station that supports paging reason capability, reported to the second base station in response to determining that an RRC connection has been established with the second base station.

[0215] In the above embodiments, when the second base station has established an RRC connection with the terminal, it can directly receive base station information of the target base station that supports paging reason capability reported by the terminal. This achieves the goal of determining the target base station that supports paging reason capability based on the terminal's report, improving the availability of the paging reason mechanism.

[0216] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 17 As shown, Figure 17 This is a flowchart illustrating an information reporting method according to an embodiment, which can be used with a second base station. The second base station can be the last base station accessed by the terminal before it switches to a disconnected state. The method may include the following steps:

[0217] In step 1701, first measurement configuration information is sent to the terminal. The first measurement configuration information is used at least to configure the terminal to determine the base station information of the target base station after switching to the non-connected state.

[0218] In one possible implementation, the first measurement configuration information is used to configure the terminal to measure and record the base station information of the target base station that supports paging reason capability after switching to a non-connected state.

[0219] In one possible implementation, the first measurement configuration information is used to configure the terminal to measure and record base station information of a target base station supporting paging reason capability after switching to a connectionless state, and to configure the terminal to receive paging reason capability information sent by a first base station via first signaling after switching to the connectionless state. The first base station includes at least one of the following: the base station of the cell where the terminal is camped; and / or a neighboring base station of the cell where the terminal is camped. The paging reason capability information is used at least to indicate whether the first base station supports paging reason capability.

[0220] The first signaling includes, but is not limited to, RRC release signaling and / or RRC reconfiguration signaling.

[0221] In this embodiment of the disclosure, step 1701 can be deployed alone or in combination with step 1301. When deployed in combination with step 1301, the second base station is both the last base station accessed by the terminal before it switches to the non-connected state and the base station accessed by the terminal after it switches to the connected state, which corresponds to the case where the third base station and the second base station are the same base station.

[0222] In the above embodiments, the second base station, which is the last base station accessed before the terminal switches to the non-connected state, can send first measurement configuration information to the terminal. This information is at least used to configure the terminal to determine the base station information of the target base station after switching to the non-connected state. This achieves the purpose of determining the target base station that supports paging reason capability through the terminal, resulting in high availability.

[0223] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 18 As shown, Figure 18 This is a flowchart illustrating an information reporting method according to an embodiment, which can be used with a second base station, the second base station being the base station currently accessed by the terminal. The method may include the following steps:

[0224] In step 1801, second reporting configuration information is sent to the terminal. The second reporting configuration information is used to configure at least one of the reporting content and the second reporting format when the terminal reports the base station information of the target base station.

[0225] The reported content includes the base station identifier information of the target base station reported by the terminal, and the second reporting format includes the base station information of the target base station reported by the terminal through a fourth signaling. The fourth signaling includes, but is not limited to, MeasurementReport signaling.

[0226] In step 1802, the terminal receives base station information of the target base station that supports paging reason capability, reported by the terminal based on the second reporting configuration information.

[0227] The second base station can send second reporting configuration information to the terminal. The second reporting configuration information is used to configure at least one of the reporting content and the second reporting format when the terminal reports the base station information of the target base station.

[0228] In the above embodiments, the terminal can report the base station information of the target base station according to the configuration of the second base station, which is simple and highly available.

[0229] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 19 As shown, Figure 19 This is a flowchart illustrating an information reporting method according to an embodiment, which can be used in a second base station, where the second base station is the base station accessed by the terminal. The method may include the following steps:

[0230] In step 1901, the second measurement configuration information is sent to the terminal via the fifth signaling.

[0231] The second reporting configuration information is used to configure at least one of the reporting content and the second reporting format when the terminal reports base station information of the target base station. The fifth signaling may include, but is not limited to, RRC connection reconfiguration signaling; specifically, the fifth signaling may be the MeasConfig signaling in RRC connection reconfiguration signaling.

[0232] The second base station is the base station currently accessed by the terminal. The reported content includes the base station identifier information of the target base station reported by the terminal, and the second reporting format includes the base station information of the target base station reported by the terminal via a fourth signaling. The fourth signaling includes, but is not limited to, MeasurementReport signaling.

[0233] In step 1902, the terminal receives base station information of the target base station that supports paging reason capability, reported by the terminal based on the second reporting configuration information.

[0234] The second base station can send second reporting configuration information to the terminal. The second reporting configuration information is used to configure at least one of the reporting content and the second reporting format when the terminal reports the base station information of the target base station.

[0235] In the above embodiments, the terminal can report the base station information of the target base station according to the configuration of the second base station, which is simple and highly available.

[0236] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 20 As shown, Figure 20 This is a flowchart illustrating an information reporting method according to an embodiment. The method may include the following steps:

[0237] In step 2001, before switching to the disconnected state, the terminal receives first measurement configuration information sent by the third base station.

[0238] In this embodiment, the third base station includes the last base station accessed by the terminal before it switches to a disconnected state. The disconnected state includes, but is not limited to, an inactive state and an idle state. The first measurement configuration information is used to configure the determination of the base station information of the target base station after the terminal switches to a disconnected state; alternatively, the first measurement configuration information is used to configure the determination of the base station information of the target base station after the terminal switches to a disconnected state, and to configure the terminal to receive the paging reason capability information sent by the first base station via a first signaling after switching to the disconnected state. The first signaling includes RRC release signaling and / or RRC reconfiguration signaling.

[0239] It should be noted that the third base station in the embodiments of this disclosure may be the same base station or a different base station from the first base station mentioned in this disclosure, or the third base station may be the same base station or a different base station from the second base station mentioned in this disclosure, and this disclosure does not limit it in this way. Figure 20 The example provided is based on the fact that the third base station is a different base station from the first and second base stations.

[0240] In step 2002, in response to determining that the terminal is switching to the disconnected state, the terminal receives paging reason capability information sent by at least one first base station, the paging reason capability information being used to at least indicate whether the first base station supports paging reason capability.

[0241] The first base station includes the base station of the cell where the terminal is located, and / or the neighboring base station of the cell where the terminal is located.

[0242] In step 2003, the terminal determines a target base station that supports paging reason capability among the first base stations based on the first measurement configuration information and the paging reason capability information.

[0243] In step 2004, the terminal reports the base station information of the target base station to the second base station it accesses.

[0244] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the second base station is the base station accessed by the terminal. The terminal can report the base station information of the target base station during the establishment of an RRC connection with the second base station, or the terminal can report the base station information of the target base station after establishing an RRC connection with the second base station. Specifically, the terminal can notify the second base station that the terminal has recorded the base station information of the target base station. Further, based on the reporting instruction information sent by the second base station, the terminal reports the base station information of the target base station to the second base station.

[0245] Alternatively, the terminal does not need to inform the second base station that it has recorded the base station information of the target base station. As long as the terminal confirms that an RRC connection has been established with the second base station, it can directly report the base station information of the target base station to the second base station.

[0246] In the above embodiments, a terminal in a non-connected state can determine, based on the first measurement configuration information sent by the third base station, that when switching to the non-connected state, it can determine the target base station that supports the paging reason capability based on the paging reason capability information sent by the first base station. Thus, it can report information through the terminal, thereby achieving the purpose of exchanging the paging reason capabilities supported by each base station and improving the availability of the paging reason mechanism.

[0247] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 21 As shown, Figure 21 This is a flowchart illustrating an information reporting method according to an embodiment. The method may include the following steps:

[0248] In step 2101, the terminal receives the second measurement configuration information sent by the accessed second base station.

[0249] The second measurement configuration information is used to configure the terminal to determine the base station information of the first base station and the paging reason capability information of the first base station when it is in a connected state.

[0250] In step 2102, the terminal receives paging reason capability information sent by at least one first base station, the paging reason capability information being used at least to indicate whether the first base station supports paging reason capability.

[0251] The first base station is the neighboring base station of the second base station.

[0252] In step 2103, the terminal determines the base station information of the target base station that supports the paging reason capability in the first base station based on the second measurement configuration information and the paging reason capability information.

[0253] In step 2104, the terminal determines that the measurement reporting conditions are met in response to determining that there is a target base station in the first base station that supports paging reason capability.

[0254] In step 2105, the terminal reports the base station information of the target base station to the second base station.

[0255] In the above embodiments, the connected terminal can determine the base station information of the target base station that supports paging reason capability among the neighboring base stations of the second base station based on the second measurement configuration information sent by the accessed second base station, and report it to the second base station. Thus, the terminal can report information, thereby achieving the purpose of exchanging the paging reason capabilities supported by each base station and improving the availability of the paging reason mechanism.

[0256] It should be noted that after the second base station identifies other base stations that support paging reason capability based on the base station information of the target base station reported by the terminal, it can perform relevant operations based on the paging reason capability.

[0257] In one possible implementation, if the second base station determines that both the neighboring base station and itself support the paging reason capability, and if it determines that it needs to transmit the paging reason between the base stations, for example, when the second base station determines that it needs to add the paging reason to the RAN (Radio Access Network) paging message sent to the neighboring base station for an inactive terminal, then the second base station can directly send the paging reason to the neighboring base station through the inter-base station interface.

[0258] In another possible implementation, if the second base station determines that it needs to transmit the paging reason between base stations, for example, when the second base station determines that it needs to add the paging reason to the RANPaging message sent to the neighboring base station for an inactive terminal, it determines that it needs to transmit the paging reason between base stations. However, if the second base station determines that at least one of itself and the neighboring base station does not support the paging reason capability based on the base station information of the target base station reported by the terminal that supports the paging reason capability, then the second base station can determine that it will not send the paging reason to the neighboring base station through the inter-base station interface.

[0259] The above embodiments are for inactive terminals, where base stations determine whether to interact with each other through the inter-base station interface to page the inactive terminal based on their respective supported paging reason capabilities. In this embodiment, the same method can also be used for connected terminals, where base stations determine whether to interact with each other through the inter-base station interface to page the connected terminal based on their respective supported paging reason capabilities. The specific implementation is similar to the above interaction method and will not be repeated here.
