[0074] Figure 2 This is one of the flowcharts illustrating the notification method provided in the embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes steps 201-202; wherein:

[0075] Step 201: The second terminal receives target indication information for the first terminal sent by the network side;

[0076] Step 202: The second terminal performs a first operation on the first terminal; wherein the first terminal is a personal Internet of Things (IoT) device, and the first operation includes at least one of the following:

[0077] Operation a) Based on the target indication information and the first terminal status, send a first notification to the network side;

[0078] Operation b) Based on the target indication information and the first terminal status, do not send the first notification;

[0079] Operation c) Receive the first data sent by the network side for the first terminal, and send a first notification to the network side based on the target indication information and the first terminal status;

[0080] The first notification is used to indicate the arrival of data or the status of the first terminal; the first terminal status is any one of the following: the first terminal is not connected to the second terminal; the first terminal is connected to the second terminal.

[0081] It should be noted that the second terminal can include PEGCs, such as a gateway in a smart home scenario or a mobile phone in a wearable device scenario. The first terminal can be a personal IoT device; the first terminal includes devices with direct wireless network access capabilities, such as mobile phones or smartwatches; the first terminal can also include devices without direct wireless network access capabilities, such as wristbands.

[0082] In this embodiment, the network side can refer to core network functions such as SMF or AMF, or other network control devices. Optionally, the first terminal can connect to the first network through a second terminal; wherein, the first network can be a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network or other networks evolved from it, or other specific networks.

[0083] Optionally, the first notification is used to indicate the arrival of data, that is, to indicate a data arrival notification for the first terminal.

[0084] In the notification method provided in this application embodiment, after the second terminal receives the target indication information for the first terminal sent by the network side, it sends a first notification to the network side based on the target indication information and the status of the first terminal to indicate that the data for the first terminal has arrived or the status of the first terminal. This allows the network side to send a data arrival notification for the first terminal based on the first notification sent by the second terminal, thereby realizing the arrival of notification data for the device behind the gateway and improving control and transmission efficiency.

[0085] Optionally, when the first operation includes the above operation c), the implementation of the second terminal receiving the first data sent by the network side for the first terminal and sending the first notification to the network side based on the target indication information and the state of the first terminal includes: when the state of the first terminal is that the first terminal is not connected to the second terminal, the second terminal sends the first notification to the network side based on the target indication information to indicate that the data for the first terminal has arrived or the state of the first terminal, so that the network side sends a data arrival notification for the first terminal based on the first notification, thereby realizing the arrival of notification data for the device behind the gateway.

[0086] Optionally, the target indication information may include at least one of the following:

[0087] 1) Notification instruction information, used to instruct the second terminal to send the first notification to the network side;

[0088] 2) No notification instruction information, used to instruct the second terminal not to send the first notification to the network side;

[0089] 3) Type information of the first terminal, wherein the type information is used to indicate whether the first terminal is of a first type or a second type. Specifically, the first type is used to indicate notification indication information, and / or, the second terminal type is used to indicate no notification indication information.

[0090] Optionally, the first type indicates that the terminal supports connecting to the first network via an access network device; the second type indicates that the terminal does not support connecting to the first network via an access network device. In practice, access network devices include, for example, base stations; the first type of terminal includes mobile phones or smartwatches, and the second type of terminal includes wristbands, etc.

[0091] For example, the SMF or AMF (i.e., the first network function) sends target indication information to the PEGC (i.e., the second terminal); based on the target indication information, the PEGC performs at least one of the following operations for the first terminal (the first terminal is a personal IoT device, which can access the first network through the PEGC):

[0092] 1. Based on the target indication information and the status of the first terminal, PEGC sends a first notification.

[0093] For example, if the target indication information includes the notification indication information, or includes the type information of the first terminal and the type information is used to indicate that the type of the first terminal is a first type, if the first terminal status is that the first terminal is not connected to the PEGC, then the PEGC sends a first notification to the network side (e.g., SMF or AMF) to indicate that data has arrived for the first terminal, or to indicate the status of the first terminal; then the network side indicates a data arrival notification for the first terminal, or the network side indicates at least one of the following: activating the session connection between the second terminal and the first network; opening the direct air interface between the first terminal and the second terminal; establishing a direct connection between the first terminal and the second terminal; the first terminal receiving data; the first terminal sending data.

[0094] Second, based on the target indication information and the status of the first terminal, PEGC does not send the first notification.

[0095] For example, if the target indication information includes the no-notification indication information, or includes the type information of the first terminal and the type information is used to indicate that the type of the first terminal is a second type, PEGC will not send the first notification. After receiving the first data for the first terminal, if the first terminal is already connected to PEGC, PEGC will forward the first data to the first terminal; if the first terminal is not connected to PEGC, PEGC will wait for the first terminal to connect to PEGC before forwarding the first data to the first terminal.

[0096] 3. PEGC receives the first data for the first terminal, and sends a first notification based on the target indication information and the state of the first terminal; wherein, the first notification is used to indicate the arrival of data or the state of the first terminal; the state of the first terminal is any one of the following: the first terminal is not connected to the second terminal; the first terminal is connected to the second terminal.

[0097] For example, if the target indication information includes the notification indication information, or includes the type information of the first terminal and the type information is used to indicate that the first terminal supports connecting to the first network through the access network device, after the PEGC receives the first data for the first terminal, if the first terminal's status is that the first terminal is not connected to the PEGC, then the PEGC sends a first notification to the network side (e.g., SMF or AMF) to indicate that the data for the first terminal has arrived or to indicate the status of the first terminal; then the network side instructs the data arrival notification for the first terminal, or the network side instructs at least one of the following: activate the session connection between the second terminal and the first network; open the direct air interface between the first terminal and the second terminal; establish a direct connection between the first terminal and the second terminal; the first terminal receives data; the first terminal sends data.

[0098] Figure 3This is a second flowchart illustrating the notification method provided in the embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0103] The second terminal receives the first data for the first terminal, and sends a first notification based on the target indication information and the first terminal status;

[0104] The first notification is used to indicate the arrival of data or the status of the first terminal; the first terminal status is any one of the following: the first terminal is not connected to the second terminal; the first terminal is connected to the second terminal.

The first terminal can be a personal IoT device; the first terminal includes devices with direct wireless network access capability, such as mobile phones or smartwatches; the first terminal may also include devices without direct wireless network access capability, such as wristbands.

[0106] In practice, the first terminal can connect to the first network through the second terminal; the first network can be a 3GPP network or other networks evolved from it, or other specific networks.

[0107] In the notification method provided in this application embodiment, a first network function sends target indication information for the first terminal to a second terminal. After receiving the target indication information for the first terminal sent by the network side, the second terminal sends a first notification to the network side based on the target indication information and the status of the first terminal to indicate that data for the first terminal has arrived or the status of the first terminal has arrived. This allows the network side to send a data arrival notification for the first terminal based on the first notification sent by the second terminal, thereby realizing the arrival of notification data for devices behind the gateway and improving control and transmission efficiency.

[0108] Optionally, the target indication information includes at least one of the following:
