[0049] In order to facilitate a clearer understanding of the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application, some relevant knowledge is first introduced as follows.

[0050] 1. Seamless UE context recovery (SUECR)

[0051] The triggering of some terminal internal events may make the terminal, such as User Equipment (UE), unavailable for a period of time, such as operating system upgrade or device restart, etc. At this time, the terminal may store its context (including mobility management and session management context) in the Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) or non-volatile memory, so that the context can be reused after the unavailable period ends, and it can quickly interact with the fifth generation mobile communication technology core network (5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology Core, 5GC) to restore normal service. In addition, the terminal will interact with the network to inform the network of the unavailable period so that the network can determine the status of the terminal and avoid paging and other operations during the period when the terminal is unavailable.

[0052] Before the above events start, if the terminal can store the context, the terminal may indicate the unavailable period to the network by initiating a mobility registration update process. At this time, the network will consider the terminal unreachable until the unavailable period ends or the terminal enters the connected state. At the same time, if the terminal cannot store the context, the terminal may indicate the unavailable period to the network by initiating a deregistration process.

[0053] 2. Congestion Control Mechanism

[0054] The network may detect NAS signaling congestion and perform congestion control. When congestion control is activated, the network will reject NAS signaling requests and provide T3346 values. In order to avoid timeout synchronization, that is, a large number of terminals simultaneously initiate delayed NAS signaling requests, the network should select different T3346 values ​​for the terminals. When the terminal turns on the received T3346 value, during the operation of T3346, the terminal is not allowed to initiate any NAS signaling related to the applied congestion control (including initial registration request, mobility registration update request and service request), with some exceptions, such as the terminal receives a paging request from the network, or the terminal initiates signaling for emergency services or high priority access.

[0055] If the terminal is ready to execute an event that makes the terminal unavailable, the terminal that can store the context can initiate a mobile registration update to interact with the network status and unavailable time period. However, if T3346 is running at this time, the terminal is not allowed to initiate a mobility registration update procedure. At this time, the terminal cannot activate the unavailable time. During the terminal unavailable time period, the terminal cannot use the SUECR feature, that is, it cannot store the terminal context, which will extend the time it takes for the terminal to resume normal service. At the same time, the network cannot determine the status of the terminal and may perform unnecessary operations such as paging.

[0056] In summary, in order to address the above-mentioned problems, the embodiments of the present application provide an information interaction method, apparatus, terminal and network-side equipment.

[0057] The information interaction method provided in the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below through some embodiments and their application scenarios in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0058] Figure 2 is one of the flow charts of the information interaction method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method includes step 201; wherein:

[0059] Step 201: When a first timer is running and a target event associated with a terminal is about to be triggered, the terminal performs at least one of the following operations:

[0060] Sending a request message to the network side device, where the request message is used to indicate that the terminal wants to activate the unavailable time;

[0061] Storing context information; wherein the terminal is unavailable during the execution of the target event, and the first timer is a timer related to congestion control.

[0062] It should be noted that the first timer may be a T3346 timer, and the embodiment of the present application may be applied to a scenario of NAS-level congestion control (i.e., the T3346 timer is running, hereinafter referred to as T3346 is running). The terminal includes but is not limited to the types of terminal 11 listed above; the present application does not limit this.

[0063] T3346 The scenario being run includes at least one of the following:

[0064] Scenario 1: The terminal sends a mobility registration update request message to the network side device and is rejected. The mobility registration update request message is used to indicate that the terminal wants to activate the unavailable time; the terminal wants to activate the unavailable time again.

[0065] Scenario 2: The terminal sends a registration request message to the network side device and is rejected. The registration request is not used to indicate that the terminal wants to activate the unavailable time. At this time, the terminal upper layer requests to activate the unavailable time.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present application, when the network side device performs congestion control, when the target time associated with the terminal is to be triggered, the terminal may perform at least one of the following operations:

[0067] Operation 1: The terminal sends a request message to the network side device to indicate that the terminal wants to activate the unavailable time.

[0068] Accordingly, after receiving the request message from the terminal, the network side device can determine that the terminal is in an unavailable state.

[0069] Operation 2: The terminal stores the context information.

[0070] In one implementation, the request message is used to request activation of the unavailable time, and the network side device may approve or reject the terminal's request to activate the unavailable time.

[0071] In one implementation, the request message is used to indicate that the terminal is unavailable.

[0072] In one implementation manner, the activation unavailable time may be understood as the terminal being unavailable during the unavailable time period.

[0073] Optionally, the context information includes at least one of the following:

[0074] a) 5G mobility management context information.

[0075] b) 5G session management context information.

[0076] Optionally, the storage location of the context information includes at least one of the following:

[0077] a) The USIM of the terminal.

[0078] b) a non-volatile memory of the terminal.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present application, when a first timer related to congestion control is running, when a target event associated with the terminal is to be triggered, the terminal sends a request message to the network side device to indicate that the terminal wants to activate the unavailable time, so that the terminal can successfully activate the unavailable time. The terminal can store context information during the unavailable time period, or, when the network side device performs congestion control, when the target event associated with the terminal is to be triggered, the terminal directly stores the context information so that the terminal can reuse the context information after the unavailable time period ends, and normal service can be quickly restored based on the context information, thereby improving user experience.

[0080] Optionally, the request message includes at least one of the following:

[0081] a) a mobility registration update request message, wherein the mobility registration update request message includes an unavailable time period of the terminal.

[0082] Specifically, during the operation of T3346, when a target event associated with the terminal is to be triggered, the terminal is allowed to send a mobility registration update request message, wherein the mobility registration update request message is used to activate the unavailable time, and the mobility registration update request message includes the unavailable time period.

[0083] Optionally, in a case where the request message includes the mobility registration update request message, the terminal is capable of storing the context information.

[0084] That is to say, the terminal has the ability to store 5G mobility management context information and 5G session management context information.

[0085] Optionally, when the terminal sends the mobility registration update request message to the network side device, the terminal stores the context information.

[0086] That is, the terminal can store the 5G mobility management context information and the 5G session management context information in the USIM or non-volatile memory of the terminal. Through the above method, the context information can be reused after the terminal is unavailable for a certain period of time, and normal services can be quickly restored based on the context information, thereby improving the user experience.

[0087] Optionally, before the terminal sends a mobility registration update request message to the network side device, the network side device needs to indicate to the terminal that an unavailable time is supported in the last registration procedure.

[0088] Correspondingly, the terminal receives second indication information from the network side device, where the second indication information is used to indicate that the network side device supports unavailable time.

[0089] It should be noted that when the terminal receives the second indication information from the network side device, it indicates that the network side device has the ability to support unavailable time. When both the terminal and the network side device support unavailable time, the terminal can activate the unavailable time when the target event associated with the terminal is to be triggered; accordingly, the network side device can avoid performing operations such as paging during the unavailable time period.

[0090] The terminal should include information indicating the unavailable period of the terminal in the registration request message, for example, the "unavailable period information element" may be used to indicate the unavailable period of the terminal, and the subsequent request indication is set to "no subsequent request".

[0091] In addition, even if the terminal has one or more active always-on Protocol Data Unit (PDU) sessions associated with 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) access, it must not include the Uplink data status Information Element (IE) or the Allowed PDU session status IE in the Registration Request message.

[0092] It should be noted that if the terminal provides an unavailable time period, the network side device should consider the terminal unreachable until the terminal resumes normal service or enters the connected state; at this time, the network side device needs to store the received unavailable time period and release the NAS signaling connection after completing the mobility registration update procedure.

[0093] b) a service request message, used to activate the unavailable time of the terminal; the service request message includes at least one of the unavailable time period of the terminal and first indication information; the first indication information is used to indicate that the terminal has no subsequent request.

[0094] Specifically, during the operation of T3346, when the target event associated with the terminal is to be triggered, the terminal initiates a service request procedure, and includes the unavailable time period of the terminal in the service request message for activating the unavailable time.

[0095] Furthermore, the service request message further includes first indication information for indicating that the terminal has no subsequent request. The first indication information may be, for example, subsequent request indication information, which may be specifically expressed as follows:

[0096] That is, the follow-on request indicator in the service request message is set to "No follow-on request pending".

[0097] Optionally, the service request message does not include at least one of the following:

[0098] [1] Uplink Data Status IE.

[0099] [2] Allowed PDU Session Status IE.

[0100] Optionally, in the case where the request message includes the service request message, the terminal is capable of storing the context information.

[0101] That is to say, the terminal has the ability to store 5G mobility management context information and 5G session management context information.

[0102] Optionally, when the terminal sends the service request message to the network side device, the terminal stores the context information.

[0103] That is, the terminal can store the 5G mobility management context information and the 5G session management context information in the USIM or non-volatile memory of the terminal. Through the above method, the context information can be reused after the terminal is unavailable for a certain period of time, and normal services can be quickly restored based on the context information, thereby improving the user experience.

[0104] Optionally, before the terminal sends a service request message to the network side device, the network side device needs to indicate to the terminal that it supports unavailable time in the last registration procedure.

[0105] Correspondingly, the terminal receives second indication information from the network side device, where the second indication information is used to indicate that the network side device supports unavailable time.

[0106] In the above implementation, the terminal sends a request message to the network side device to indicate that the terminal wants to activate the unavailable time, so that the terminal can synchronize the unavailable time period with the network side device when the network side device performs congestion control, giving the terminal sufficient flexibility and avoiding the network side device from sending signaling during the period when the terminal is unavailable.

[0107] Optionally, the request message includes:

[0108] A deregistration request message, wherein the deregistration request message does not include an unavailable time period of the terminal.

[0109] It can be understood that the terminal sends a deregistration request message to the network side device to indicate that the terminal wants to activate the unavailable time, but the deregistration request message does not include the unavailable time period of the terminal.

[0110] In one implementation, in addition to sending a mobility registration update request message or a service request message to the network side device, the terminal may also send a deregistration request message to the network side device, wherein the deregistration request message does not include the unavailable time period of the terminal.

[0111] Specifically, during the operation of T3346, when the target event associated with the terminal is about to be triggered, the terminal initiates a deregistration request procedure to activate the unavailable time; however, the terminal does not include the unavailable time period. Through the above method, the terminal does not need to synchronize the unavailable time period to the network side device, thereby saving signaling overhead; at the same time, the network side device can determine the status of the terminal through the deregistration request message, avoiding unnecessary operations such as paging.

[0112] Optionally, when the terminal sends the deregistration request message to the network side device, the terminal is unable to store the context information.

[0113] That is to say, the terminal is not capable of storing 5G mobility management context information and 5G session management context information.

[0114] Optionally, before the terminal sends a deregistration request message to the network side device, the network side device needs to indicate to the terminal that an unavailable time is supported in the last registration procedure.

[0115] Correspondingly, the terminal receives second indication information from the network side device, where the second indication information is used to indicate that the network side device supports unavailable time.

[0116] Optionally, in the case where the network side device performs congestion control, when a target event associated with the terminal is to be triggered, the specific implementation process of the terminal storing the context information is as follows:

[0117] During the operation of T3346, when the target event associated with the terminal is to be triggered, the terminal initiates local deregistration. The terminal stores the context for reusing the context after the unavailable period ends, so that normal service can be quickly restored.

[0118] Optionally, when the terminal initiates local deregistration and stores context information, the terminal is capable of storing the context information.

[0119] That is, the terminal is capable of storing 5G mobility management context information and 5G session management context information. The terminal can store the 5G mobility management context information and 5G session management context information in the USIM or non-volatile memory of the terminal. Through the above method, the context information can be reused after the terminal is unavailable for a period of time, and normal services can be quickly restored based on the context information, thereby improving the user experience.

[0120] Optionally, before the terminal initiates local deregistration and stores context information, the network-side device needs to indicate to the terminal that unavailable time is supported in the last registration procedure.

[0121] Correspondingly, the terminal receives second indication information from the network side device, where the second indication information is used to indicate that the network side device supports unavailable time.

[0122] Figure 3 This is a second flow chart of the information interaction method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method includes step 301; wherein:

[0123] Step 301: When a network side device performs congestion control, the network side device receives a request message from a terminal; wherein the request message is used to indicate that the unavailable time of the terminal is to be activated during the execution of a target event associated with the terminal.

[0124] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application can be applied to the scenario of NAS-level congestion control (ie, T3346 is running).

[0125] In the embodiment of the present application, when the network side device performs congestion control, when the target event associated with the terminal is to be triggered, the network side device needs to receive a request message from the terminal.

[0126] Optionally, the request message includes at least one of the following:

[0127] a) a mobility registration update request message, wherein the mobility registration update request message includes an unavailable time period of the terminal.

[0128] b) a service request message, used to activate the unavailable time of the terminal; the service request message includes at least one of the unavailable time period of the terminal and first indication information, and the first indication information is used to indicate that the terminal has no subsequent request.

[0129] In an embodiment of the present application, when the network side device performs congestion control, the network side device determines that the unavailable time of the terminal is to be activated by receiving a request message from the terminal, so that the terminal can store context information during the unavailable time period, so that the terminal can reuse the context information after the unavailable time period ends, and normal service can be quickly restored based on the context information, thereby improving the user experience.

[0130] Optionally, the request message includes:

[0131] A deregistration request message, wherein the deregistration request message does not include an unavailable time period of the terminal.

[0132] It can be understood that the network side device receives the deregistration request message from the terminal to indicate that the terminal wants to activate the unavailable time, but the deregistration request message does not include the unavailable time period of the terminal.

[0133] In one implementation, in addition to receiving a mobility registration update request message or a service request message from a terminal, the network side device can also receive a deregistration request message from the terminal, wherein the deregistration request message is used to activate the unavailable time of the terminal; the deregistration request message does not include the unavailable time period of the terminal.

[0134] Optionally, the network side device also needs to send second indication information to the terminal, where the second indication information is used to indicate that the network side device supports unavailable time.

[0135] Optionally, in a case where the request message includes at least one of the mobility registration update request message and the service request message, after an unavailable time period of the terminal has passed or the terminal enters a connected state, the network side device performs at least one of the following operations:

[0136] a) Storing the unavailable time period of the terminal.

[0137] b) After completing the mobility registration update procedure and service request procedure, the non-access stratum NAS signaling connection is released.

[0138] Combine the following Figures 4 to 7 The information interaction method provided in the embodiment of the present application is further explained.

[0139] Figure 4 is one of the signaling interaction diagrams of the information interaction method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 It shows that when T3346 is running, the terminal is not allowed to initiate a mobility registration update except for the case where the terminal needs to activate the unavailable time; specifically including steps 401 to 404, wherein:

[0140] Step 401, T3346 is running.

[0141] Specifically, the scenario in which T3346 is running includes at least one of the following:

[0142] Scenario 1: The terminal sends a mobility registration update request message to the network side device and is rejected. The mobility registration update request message is used to indicate that the terminal wants to activate the unavailable time; the terminal wants to activate the unavailable time again.

[0143] Scenario 2: The terminal sends a registration request message to the network side device and is rejected. The registration request is not used to indicate that the terminal wants to activate the unavailable time. At this time, the terminal upper layer requests to activate the unavailable time.

[0144] Step 402: The UE prepares to execute an event that makes the terminal unavailable, that is, an event that makes the UE unavailable is to be triggered.

[0145] Step 403: During the operation of T3346, the UE is allowed to send a mobility registration update request message, which is used to activate the unavailable time; that is, the UE sends a mobility registration update request message to the AMF, including the unavailable time period.

[0146] Before sending the mobility registration update request message, the network side device indicates support for the unavailable time period in the last registration procedure, and the terminal has the ability to store 5G mobility management and 5G session management context.

[0147] The terminal should include information in the registration request to indicate the period of time during which the terminal is unavailable, for example, the "unavailable period information element" can be used to indicate the period of time during which the terminal is unavailable, and the subsequent request indication is set to "no subsequent request". In addition, even if the terminal has one or more active always-on PDU sessions related to 3GPP access, the uplink data status IE or the allowed PDU session status IE cannot be included in the registration request message.

[0148] Step 404: When the UE provides an unavailable time period, the AMF considers the UE to be unreachable.

[0149] Until the UE resumes normal service or enters the connected state, the received unavailable time period is stored and the NAS signaling connection is released after completing the mobility registration update procedure.

[0150] Figure 5 This is the second signaling interaction diagram of the information interaction method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 The example shows a situation where the UE only stores the context information and does not initiate the mobility registration update process to activate the unavailable time; specifically, the example includes steps 501 to 503, wherein:

[0151] Step 501, T3346 is running. Specifically, the scenario in which T3346 is running includes at least one of the following:

[0152] Scenario 1: The terminal sends a mobility registration update request message to the network side device and is rejected. The mobility registration update request message is used to indicate that the terminal wants to activate the unavailable time; the terminal wants to activate the unavailable time again.

[0153] Scenario 2: The terminal sends a registration request message to the network side device and is rejected. The registration request is not used to indicate that the terminal wants to activate the unavailable time. At this time, the terminal upper layer requests to activate the unavailable time.

[0154] Step 502: The UE prepares to execute an event that makes the terminal unavailable, that is, an event that makes the UE unavailable is to be triggered.

[0155] Step 503: The UE stores the context information, initiates local deregistration, and does not initiate a mobility registration update request; that is, does not send a mobility registration update request message to the AMF.

[0156] Specifically, by storing the context information, the UE can reuse the context after the unavailable time period ends, and can quickly resume normal service.

[0157] The context information includes mobility management context information and session management context information, and the context information is stored in the USIM or a non-volatile memory.

[0158] Before the UE stores the context information, the network needs to indicate in the last registration procedure that the unavailable period is supported and the UE is capable of storing 5G mobility management context information and 5G session management context information.

[0159] Figure 6 This is the third signaling interaction diagram of the information interaction method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 The diagram shows a situation where, when T3346 is running and the UE cannot store the context, a deregistration process is initiated to interact with the network but does not include an unavailable time period; specifically, steps 601 to 605, wherein:

[0160] Step 601, T3346 is running.

[0161] Specifically, the scenario in which T3346 is running includes at least one of the following:

[0162] Scenario 1: The terminal sends a mobility registration update request message to the network side device and is rejected. The mobility registration update request message is used to indicate that the terminal wants to activate the unavailable time; the terminal wants to activate the unavailable time again.

[0163] Scenario 2: The terminal sends a registration request message to the network side device and is rejected. The registration request is not used to indicate that the terminal wants to activate the unavailable time. At this time, the terminal upper layer requests to activate the unavailable time.

[0164] Step 602: The UE prepares to execute an event that makes the terminal unavailable, that is, an event that makes the UE unavailable is to be triggered.

[0165] Step 603: The UE cannot store the context and initiates a deregistration procedure, but does not include an unavailable time period.

[0166] Step 604: The UE sends a deregistration request message to the AMF, which does not include an unavailable time period.

[0167] Step 605: AMF considers the UE to be unreachable.

[0168] Figure 7 This is a fourth signaling interaction diagram of the information interaction method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 The figure shows a situation where the UE initiates a service request process to activate the unavailable time when T3346 is running; specifically, the figure includes steps 701 to 705, wherein:

[0169] Step 701, T3346 is running.

[0170] Specifically, the scenario in which T3346 is running includes at least one of the following:

[0171] Scenario 1: The terminal sends a mobility registration update request message to the network side device and is rejected. The mobility registration update request message is used to indicate that the terminal wants to activate the unavailable time; the terminal wants to activate the unavailable time again.

[0172] Scenario 2: The terminal sends a registration request message to the network side device and is rejected. The registration request is not used to indicate that the terminal wants to activate the unavailable time. At this time, the terminal upper layer requests to activate the unavailable time.

[0173] Step 702: The UE prepares to execute an event that makes the terminal unavailable, that is, an event that makes the UE unavailable is to be triggered.

[0174] Step 703: The UE initiates a service request procedure.

[0175] Step 704: The UE sends a service request message to the AMF, where the service request message includes an unavailable time period for activating the unavailable time.

[0176] Furthermore, the terminal does not include at least one of the following in the service request message:

[0177] a) UE context information.

[0178] b) Uplink data status IE.

[0179] c) the Allowed PDU session status IE.

[0180] Also, set the Follow-on request indicator to "No follow-on request pending" in the SERVICE REQUEST message.

[0181] It should be noted that the terminal is capable of containing context information, the context information includes mobility management context information and session management context information, and the context information is stored in the USIM or non-volatile memory.

[0182] Before the UE stores the context, the network needs to indicate support for the unavailable period in the last registration procedure and the terminal is capable of storing 5G mobility management context information and 5G session management context information.

[0183] Step 705: AMF considers the UE to be unreachable.
