Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an information processing method, device and equipment. Background Art

[0002] The future 6G network will adopt a decentralized hierarchical network with centralized and distributed collaboration. The 6G network will be organized through centralized and distributed collaboration and distributed autonomy. On the one hand, it will extend more network functions to the edge of the network, and on the other hand, it will concentrate global core functions and support more complex businesses through cloud-network integration and distributed collaboration.

[0003] In a distributed network scenario, the service area of ​​each distributed node is limited and is managed by the centralized network node to which it belongs. If a user is moving at high speed or ultra-high speed, choosing a centralized node to serve him may cause a long signaling delay. If a distributed network node with a smaller service range is chosen, the user will frequently switch.

[0004] Specifically, the existing relevant solutions (such as registration process, deregistration process, access network release process, service request process, cross-domain mobility management process based on data warehouse, etc.) all retain the processing of UE (terminal) context information in the distributed network scenario in the local network. For high-speed or ultra-high-speed mobile UEs, this will cause the UE to frequently update the registration process, resulting in a poor service experience.

[0005] As mentioned above, in the existing solution, the context information of the UE is retained locally: in the distributed network node that provides the service. This solution may cause problems such as high signaling overhead and poor service experience for high-speed or ultra-high-speed mobile UEs. If all neighbor nodes and / or centralized nodes and / or non-neighbor nodes store the context information, it will cause a waste of network resources.

[0006] Based on the above, the processing solutions for terminal context information in the prior art have problems such as large signaling overhead and waste of resources. Summary of the invention

[0356] The following first introduces the contents involved in the solution provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0357] About the 6G distributed network architecture vision:

[0358] An important trend in the development of 6G networks is the centralized and distributed network architecture. The original design of 5G and previous generations of network architecture is centralized control, that is, the core network room is centrally deployed based on demand to achieve the centralized deployment of core network functions. With the development of the network, facing the dual driving forces of business scenarios and technological development, the architecture design of 6G networks needs to consider the distributed architecture, and its control gradually evolves towards distribution. With the distributed development of intelligence and cloud computing, new connections and new networks will also be distributed.

[0359] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, 6G will be oriented to diversified scenarios and network requirements in the air, sky, land, and sea, and the centralized network architecture cannot uniformly meet all scenarios. To meet this challenge, the 6G network architecture needs to go beyond centralized control and gradually evolve to a distributed architecture, extending more network functions (such as authentication and authorization) to the edge of the network, and establishing distributed homogeneous micro-cloud units with different functional levels. Each micro-cloud unit is self-contained and has complete control and data forwarding functions. Multiple micro-cloud units can form autonomous micro-networks according to business needs, and provide targeted network services according to specific business scenarios, user scale, geographical environment and other requirements. Among them, the above-mentioned micro-cloud units are also called distributed network nodes, representing an on-demand customized or fully functional core network; and these distributed network nodes will be under the control of a centralized network node.

[0430] In an embodiment of the present application, storing the terminal context information includes: storing the terminal context information at a first location of the second network node; wherein the first location includes: a location corresponding to an access mobility management function or a location corresponding to a data warehouse.

[0431] In this way, the specific storage of the terminal context information can be achieved.

[0432] The information processing method provided in the embodiments of the present application is described below with examples.

[0433] In view of the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present application provides an information processing method, which can be specifically implemented as a distributed network terminal context processing method based on mobility, mainly involving:

[0434] In a distributed network scenario, (the first network node) determines a processing method for determining UE context information based on the UE mobility type (corresponding to the above-mentioned processing method for determining the terminal context information according to the current mobility type of the terminal):

[0435] 1) If the mobility of the UE is no mobility or low mobility (corresponding to the mobility type of the above-mentioned terminal being the first type with a moving speed lower than the first threshold); for the UE registered with the network, the UE context and state information are stored in the currently serving network node (corresponding to the above-mentioned processing method including: storing the terminal context information in the distributed network node currently serving the terminal), and the Tracking Area Identity (TAI) list is determined by the distributed network node (it can also be understood that the access and mobility management function (AMF) contained in the distributed node performs the aforementioned storage operation);

[0436] 2) If the mobility of the UE is high speed or ultra-high speed (corresponding to the mobile type of the above-mentioned terminal being the second type with a mobile speed higher than or equal to the first threshold); for the UE registered with the network, separation of processing and data (i.e., decoupling of data and function) is adopted, and the data is stored in the centralized node and / or cluster head (through the idea of ​​dividing clusters) and / or a distributed network node (which may be specified according to the compromise between the frequency of tracking area updates and paging resources or the service scope, processing capability, link capability with other distributed network nodes, etc.) and / or related distributed network nodes (related to the policy) (corresponding to the above-mentioned processing method including: storing the terminal context information in the second network node, the second network node is the target network node, and the second network node includes: a centralized node, a cluster head node or a target distributed network node); wherein the distributed network node (currently providing) the service has only processing capability, and the TAI list can be determined by the centralized node and / or cluster head (through the idea of ​​dividing clusters) and / or a distributed network node (it can also be understood that the AMF contained in the distributed node or the centralized node performs the aforementioned storage operation). In this way, it is possible to avoid re-registering when moving to a new network node within the range of the TAI list, and only mobility and periodic registration updates are required based on the TAI list (ie, frequent movement registration is not required).

[0437] Among them: 1) The determination of the UE mobility type can be carried out based on at least one of the information such as UE subscription information, UE mobility statistics information, network local policy, UE auxiliary information, etc. (corresponding to the above-mentioned determination of the current mobility type of the terminal based on the first information; wherein the first information includes at least one of the following: terminal subscription information; terminal mobility statistics information; network local policy; terminal auxiliary information; terminal movement speed; terminal historical movement trajectory information). The determination of the UE mobility type can be determined by the base station and then sent to the first network node, or it can be determined by the first network node itself, which is not limited here.

[0438] 2) The data is stored in the access mobility management function (i.e. AMF) of the centralized node and / or cluster head and / or distributed network node (which may be specified according to the compromise between the frequency of tracking area updates and paging resources or the service scope, processing capacity, etc.), or in the data warehouse of the centralized node and / or cluster head and / or distributed network node (which can be understood as a place dedicated to storing data). The above-mentioned terminal context information is stored in the first position of the distributed network node currently serving the terminal or the first position of the second network node; wherein the first position includes: the position corresponding to the access mobility management function or the position corresponding to the data warehouse.

[0439] The present solution is specifically exemplified below, wherein the first position takes the position corresponding to the access and mobility management function AMF as an example.

[0440] Example 1, a method for selecting a cluster head or a distributed network node;

[0441] In actual deployment, the centralized node may not work well, for example, the service range of the centralized node is too large, and it is necessary to divide the cluster based on the demand to select the cluster head and the centralized node, or to select a distributed network node representative and the centralized node in some way as the representative for storing the UE context information. At this time, it can be determined by a compromise between the frequency of tracking area updates and paging resources (which can be understood as the corresponding information obtained by considering the balance between the two), the service range of the distributed network node, the processing capacity of the distributed network node, the hardware resources of the distributed network node, etc. (corresponding to the above-mentioned determination of the second network node for storing the terminal context information according to the second information; wherein the second information includes at least one of the following: tracking area update frequency and paging resource information; distributed network node service range information; distributed network node processing capacity information; distributed network node hardware resource information).

[0442] In a scenario where a cluster is represented or represented by a distributed network node, the information represented by the cluster head or distributed network node can be provided to other distributed network nodes within the range through configuration or broadcast messages (the cluster head and / or distributed network nodes and / or centralized nodes send broadcast messages) (the information corresponding to the above-mentioned cluster head or target distributed network node is obtained through configuration or broadcast messages).

[0443] The following examples are based on the following assumptions:

[0444] (1) The data is stored in the access mobility management function of the centralized node and / or cluster head and / or distributed network node (specified according to the compromise between the frequency of tracking area updates and paging resources or the service scope, processing capacity, etc.), or in the data warehouse of the centralized node and / or cluster head and / or distributed network node (a place dedicated to storing data). The above-mentioned terminal context information is stored in the first position of the distributed network node currently serving the terminal or the first position of the second network node; wherein the first position includes: the position corresponding to the access mobility management function or the position corresponding to the data warehouse.

[0445] (2) The UE mobility type may be determined based on at least one of the following information: UE subscription information, UE mobility statistics information, network local policy, UE auxiliary information, etc. (corresponding to the above-mentioned determination of the current mobility type of the terminal based on the first information; wherein the first information includes at least one of the following: terminal subscription information; terminal mobility statistics information; network local policy; terminal auxiliary information; terminal movement speed; terminal historical movement trajectory information).

[0446] (3) The Radio Access Network (RAN, which can be understood as a base station) selects an AMF; specifically, the AMF can be selected based on at least one of the RAN local configuration, and / or the AMF load and priority, and / or valid information carried by the UE, but is not limited to this.

[0447] This solution uses the above method to save UE context information, which saves more network resources than using all neighbor nodes and / or centralized nodes and / or non-neighbor nodes to save UE context information.

[0448] The following example takes the second network node as a centralized node; the signaling process taking the cluster head or distributed network node representative (corresponding to the above-mentioned target distributed network node) as an example is similar and will not be described in detail below.

[0449] Example 2: The mobility is a high-speed or ultra-high-speed mobility scenario.

[0450] In example 2.1, the centralized node participates in completing the UE registration process.

[0451] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in steps 1 and 2, after the RAN receives the registration request from the UE, it performs operations including selecting a source access mobility management function and forwarding the registration request message to the source access mobility management function; then, after the source access mobility management function receives the registration request, it can execute other registration processes (for details, please refer to the existing processes, which will not be repeated here).

[0452] Before the source access mobility management function sends a registration acceptance message to the UE (see Figure 5 Steps 3a, 3b) or later (see Figure 6 Steps 4a and 4b) of the UE mobility type determination are performed (corresponding to the above-mentioned determination of the current mobility type of the terminal according to the first information before sending the registration acceptance message to the terminal during the registration process). If it is determined that there is no mobility or low mobility, steps 3a and 3b or steps 4a and 4b are omitted. If it is determined that it is high-speed mobility or ultra-high-speed mobility, the (source) access mobility management function carries the UE context (including status information) by sending a UE context establishment request message to the access mobility management function of the centralized node (i.e., the target access mobility management function) (corresponding to the above-mentioned sending of the terminal context information to the second network node before or after sending the registration acceptance message to the terminal during the registration process when the mobility type of the terminal is the second type). After receiving the (UE context establishment) request, the access mobility management function of the centralized node saves the UE context information, allocates information such as a periodic registration update timer and a registration area to the UE, and carries it to the access mobility management function of the current service through a UE context establishment response message (corresponding to the above-mentioned receiving information of the periodic registration update timer and / or registration area allocated to the terminal by the second network node when the mobility type of the terminal is the second type). At this time, the access mobility management function of the current service is only responsible for the processing logic of the UE.

[0453] In this example, you can execute Figure 5 Step 4 in: After receiving the (UE context establishment) response message, the access mobility management function of the current service (i.e., the source access mobility management function) sends a registration acceptance message to the UE; or, execute Figure 6 Step 3 in: before the (source) access mobility management function sends a UE context establishment request message to the access mobility management function of the centralized node, the source access mobility management function sends a registration acceptance message to the UE; this is not limited here.

[0454] Among them: (1) UE can perform mobility and periodic update registration process based on TAI list.

[0455] Step 5: Execute the remaining registration processes. For details, please refer to the existing processes and will not be repeated here.

[0456] Take example 2.2, the registration scenario;

[0457] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, after the access mobility management function of the current service (i.e., the source access mobility management function) receives the deregistration request of the UE, step 2 is executed, i.e., a UE context acquisition request (corresponding to the above-mentioned first acquisition request) is sent to the access mobility management function of the centralized node (i.e., the target access mobility management function) and a UE context acquisition response (corresponding to the above-mentioned first acquisition response) is received, thereby obtaining the context information of the UE (corresponding to the above-mentioned acquisition of terminal context information from the second network node during the deregistration process). Specifically, the context information obtained may include registration information, session information, and other context information, but is not limited to this.

[0458] Step 3: For other deregistration processes, please refer to the existing processes for details and will not be repeated here.

[0459] Subsequently, before the source access mobility management function sends a deregistration acceptance message to the UE (see Figure 7 Steps 4a, 4b) or later (see Figure 8 Steps 5a, 5b) or after all deregistration processes are completed (see Fig. 9 After steps 6a and 6b), a UE context release request (i.e., a UE context deregistration request) is sent to the access mobility management function of the centralized node (i.e., the target access mobility management function; corresponding to the above-mentioned second network node) to inform the centralized node that the UE has completed deregistration (corresponding to the above-mentioned sending of a notification message of terminal deregistration completion to the second network node before or after sending a deregistration acceptance message to the terminal, or after the N2 signaling connection is released), and a corresponding response is received.

[0460] in, Figure 7 Step 6, Figure 8 Step 6 and Fig. 9 Step 5 is to execute the remaining deregistration processes. For details, please refer to the existing processes and will not be repeated here.

[0461] Example 2.3, AN release;

[0462] like Fig.10As shown, after the AN release process is completed, the access mobility management function of the current service sends a UE context modification request (corresponding to the above-mentioned second acquisition request) to the access mobility management function of the centralized node to inform the centralized node that the UE status has changed from a connected state to an idle state, and receives a corresponding response (corresponding to the above-mentioned second acquisition response), see steps 2a and 2b for details (corresponding to the above-mentioned updating of the terminal context information to the second network node when the access network is released).

[0463] Example 2.4, handover --- T (target) - access scenario where the mobility management function obtains UE context information;

[0464] In this switching scenario, the access mobility management function may be replaced, which may involve Xn switching or N2 switching. In this example, by separating data from processing or obtaining UE context data from a centralized node, it is not necessary to frequently initiate the N2 switching process even across distributed network nodes. Fig.11 As shown:

[0465] Step 0. The terminal, S (source)-RAN and T-RAN cooperate to prepare for handover and execute handover.

[0466] Step 1.1, T-RAN sends an N2 path switching request to S-Access and Mobility Management Function; this step corresponds to Xn switching;

[0467] Step 1.2, S-RAN sends an N2 path switching request to the S-Access and Mobility Management Function; this step corresponds to N2 switching.

[0468] Step 2: The S-access and mobility management function selects the T-access and mobility management function.

[0469] Step 3, the S-access mobility management function (ie, access and mobility management function) sends a switching request to the T-access mobility management function, carrying the address information of the UE context information storage (corresponding to the storage address of the terminal context information sent to the target network node).

[0470] Steps 4 and 5, the T-access mobility management function obtains UE context information based on the address information stored in the UE context information in step 3 (corresponding to the above-mentioned acquisition of the terminal context information from the second network node according to the storage address of the terminal context information obtained from the source network node), including session information. Then the UE handover process is completed (i.e., step 6, other handover processes, for details, please refer to the existing process, which will not be repeated here).

[0471] Specifically, the T-access mobility management function sends a UE context acquisition request to the access mobility management function of the centralized node and receives a corresponding response (corresponding to the above-mentioned sending a third acquisition request to the second network node according to the storage address; receiving a third acquisition response fed back by the second network node, and the third acquisition response carries terminal context information).

[0472] Step 7-8, after the UE handover is completed, the T-access mobility management function sends a UE context update request to update the UE context information, such as the access mobility management function of the current service, UE location information, session related information, etc. Corresponding to the above, when the handover is completed, the terminal context information is updated to the second network node.

[0473] Example 2.5, handover - S-access mobility management function obtains UE context information;

[0474] In this handover scenario, the access mobility management function may be replaced; specifically, it may involve Xn handover or N2 handover. In this example, by separating data from processing or obtaining UE context data from a centralized node, there is no need to frequently initiate the N2 handover process even across distributed network nodes.

[0475] The difference from Example 2.4 is that in this example, the S-access mobility management function obtains UE context information from the access mobility management function of the centralized node and forwards it to the T-access mobility management function, as shown in the following example: Fig.12 As shown, this example includes the following steps:

[0476] Step 0. The terminal, S (source)-RAN and T-RAN cooperate to prepare for handover and execute handover.

[0477] Step 1.1, T-RAN sends an N2 path switching request to S-Access and Mobility Management Function; this step corresponds to Xn switching;

[0478] Step 1.2, S-RAN sends an N2 path switching request to the S-Access and Mobility Management Function; this step corresponds to N2 switching.

[0479] Step 2: The S-access and mobility management function selects the T-access and mobility management function.

[0480] Steps 3 and 4: The S-access mobility management function obtains UE context information based on the stored address information (corresponding to obtaining the terminal context information from the second network node according to the storage address of the terminal context information), including session information.

[0481] Specifically, the S-access mobility management function sends a UE context acquisition request to the access mobility management function of the centralized node and receives a corresponding response (corresponding to the above-mentioned sending a third acquisition request to the second network node according to the storage address; receiving a third acquisition response fed back by the second network node, and the third acquisition response carries terminal context information).

[0482] Step 5, the S-access mobility management function (i.e., access and mobility management function) sends a handover request to the T-access mobility management function, carrying the acquired UE context information (corresponding to the above sending of the terminal context information to the target network node). For the T-access mobility management function, it is the terminal context information sent by the source network node.

[0483] After that, the UE's handover process is completed (ie, step 6, other handover processes, for details, please refer to the existing processes, which will not be repeated here).

[0484] Step 7-8, after the UE handover is completed, the T-access mobility management function sends a UE context update request to update the UE context information, such as the access mobility management function of the current service, UE location information, session related information, etc. Corresponding to the above, when the handover is completed, the terminal context information is updated to the second network node.

[0485] Example 2.6, business request scenario;

[0486] like Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, in step 1-2, after receiving the service request sent by the UE, the access mobility management function of the current service (i.e., the source access mobility management function) obtains the UE context information from the access mobility management function of the centralized node (i.e., the target access mobility management function) (corresponding to the above-mentioned acquisition of terminal context information from the second network node during the service request process). Specifically, the source access mobility management function sends a UE context acquisition request to the target access mobility management function and receives a corresponding response (corresponding to the above-mentioned sending of a fourth acquisition request to the second network node after receiving the service request sent by the terminal; receiving a fourth acquisition response fed back by the second network node, wherein the fourth acquisition response carries the terminal context information).

[0487] Step 3: execute other business request processes. For details, please refer to the existing processes and will not be repeated here.

[0488] Fig.13 Step 4: RAN sends an N2 request ACK (acknowledgement) to the access mobility management function of the current service (ie, the source access mobility management function).

[0489] Fig.13Steps 5a-5b, and Fig.14 Steps 4a-4b: After receiving the N2 request ACK (acknowledgement) sent by the RAN or after the AN release process is completed, the access mobility management function of the current service may update the UE context information to the access mobility management function of the centralized node (corresponding to the above-mentioned updating of the terminal context information to the second network node during the service request process). Specifically, the source access mobility management function sends a UE context modification request to the target access mobility management function and receives a corresponding response (corresponding to the above-mentioned updating of the terminal context information to the second network node after receiving the N2 request response or after receiving the terminal context release completion message or after receiving the information update response message of the protocol data unit session).

[0490] Fig.13 Step 6: For the remaining business processes, please refer to the existing processes for details and will not be repeated here.

[0491] Example 3: A scenario where the UE mobility type changes;

[0492] The specific scenario of this example is: when the UE is in the registered state, it changes from high speed or ultra-high speed to low speed or no mobility, or changes from low speed or no mobility to high speed or ultra-high speed.

[0493] Specific as Fig.15 As shown:

[0494] Step 1. RAN detects the speed of the UE, and the RAN or the access mobility management function of the service (providing) determines whether the mobility type of the UE changes from high speed or ultra-high speed to low speed or no mobility, or from low speed or no mobility to high speed or ultra-high speed based on the detected speed or in combination with the historical movement trajectory (corresponding to the above-mentioned first information including: terminal movement speed; and / or historical movement trajectory information of the terminal).

[0495] Step 2-3. The access mobility management function of the service (which may correspond to the first network node) sends a UE mobility type update request to the access mobility management function of the centralized node (which may correspond to the second network node) to update the UE mobility type (corresponding to the above-mentioned case where the mobility type of the terminal is updated, the terminal mobility type is updated to the second network node). After the update is successful, the access mobility management function of the centralized node feeds back a response message (i.e., a UE mobility type update response).

[0496] Step 4. If the configuration information of the UE needs to be updated, such as TAI information, a configuration update process is initiated (corresponding to the above-mentioned initiation of a configuration update process when the configuration update conditions of the terminal are met).

[0497] It is explained here that the relevant contents of the above first network node side solution and the second network node side solution can refer to each other, and the relevant contents in the above examples can also refer to each other, and the repeated contents will not be repeated.

[0498] From the above, the solution provided by the embodiment of the present application involves a processing method for determining UE context information based on UE mobility type in a distributed network scenario:

[0499] 1.1 If the UE mobility is no mobility or low mobility, the UE context and state information are stored in the current serving network node, and the TAI list is determined by the distributed network node;

[0500] 1.2 If the UE's mobility is high speed or ultra-high speed, separation of processing and data (decoupling of data and functions) is adopted. The data is stored in the centralized node and / or cluster head and / or a representative of a distributed network node. The serving distributed network node only has processing capabilities, and the TAI list can be determined by the centralized node.

[0501] The determination of the UE mobility type can be carried out based on at least one of the information such as UE subscription information, UE mobility statistics, network local policy, UE auxiliary information, etc.; the determination of the cluster head or a distributed network node representative can be determined based on one or more combinations of the frequency of tracking area updates and paging resources, the service scope of the distributed network node, the processing capability of the distributed network node, the hardware resources of the distributed network node, etc.; the information of the cluster head or the distributed network node representative can be provided to other distributed network nodes within the range through configuration or broadcast messages (cluster head and / or distributed network nodes and / or centralized nodes send broadcast messages).

[0502] 2.1 During the registration process, the UE mobility type needs to be determined before sending a registration acceptance message to the UE (corresponding to the above-mentioned determination of the current mobility type of the terminal according to the first information before sending a registration acceptance message to the terminal during the registration process):

[0503] 2.1.1 If it is high-speed movement or ultra-high-speed movement, the UE context, including status information, is sent to the centralized node for storage. At the same time, the centralized node allocates periodic registration update timer, registration area and other information to the UE (corresponding to the above-mentioned registration process, when the terminal's mobility type is the second type, before or after sending a registration acceptance message to the terminal, the terminal context information is sent to the second network node; and the periodic registration update timer and / or registration area information allocated to the terminal by the second network node is received).

[0504] 2.2 Add the access mobility management function of the current service to the deregistration process, and obtain the UE's context information from the access mobility management function of the centralized node and inform the UE that the deregistration has been completed (corresponding to the above-mentioned process of obtaining the terminal context information from the second network node and notifying the terminal that the deregistration has been completed during the deregistration process).

[0505] 2.3AN release process, first obtain UE context information from the centralized node; after AN release is completed, update the UE context information to the centralized node (corresponding to the above-mentioned process of obtaining terminal context information from the second network node during access network release; and / or, when the access network is released, updating the terminal context information to the second network node).

[0506] 2.4 Switching process, obtaining terminal context from the centralized node;

[0507] 2.4.1 The T-access mobility management function obtains UE context information based on the address information of the UE context information storage obtained from the S-access mobility management function (corresponding to the above-mentioned acquisition of the terminal context information from the second network node according to the storage address of the terminal context information obtained from the source network node).

[0508] 2.4.2 The S-access mobility management function forwards the acquired UE context information to the T-access mobility management function (corresponding to the above-mentioned acquisition of the terminal context information from the second network node according to the storage address of the terminal context information; and sending the terminal context information to the target network node).

[0509] 2.4.3 After the handover in 2.4.1 or 2.4.2 is completed, the T-access mobility management function updates the UE context information to the centralized node (corresponding to the above-mentioned updating of the terminal context information to the second network node when the handover is completed).

[0510] 2.5 Service request process, it is necessary to obtain UE context information from the centralized node; thereafter, it is necessary to update the UE context information to the centralized node (corresponding to the above-mentioned process of obtaining terminal context information from the second network node and updating terminal context information to the second network node during the service request process).

[0511] 3. When the UE mobility type changes:

[0512] 3.1. RAN detects the speed of the UE. The RAN or the access mobility management function of the service determines the mobility type of the UE based on the detected speed or in combination with the historical movement trajectory.

[0513] 3.2. The access mobility management function of the service sends a UE mobility type update request to the access mobility management function of the centralized node (corresponding to the above-mentioned case where the mobility type of the terminal is updated, updating the terminal mobility type to the second network node).

[0514] 3.3. If the configuration information of the UE needs to be updated, a configuration update process is initiated (corresponding to the above-mentioned initiation of a configuration update process when the configuration update conditions of the terminal are met).

[0515] In summary, this solution has the following advantages:

[0516] 1. Taking user mobility into consideration, the processing of context information is more reasonable, saving network resources.

[0517] 2. In high-speed or ultra-high-speed mobility scenarios, although the UE is served by different mobility management functions, there is no need for frequent mobility update procedures, which reduces signaling overhead.

[0518] 3. The data and processing separation method is more suitable for distributed network scenarios.

[0519] 4. The network node storing UE context information considers more factors such as the frequency of tracking area updates and the trade-off between paging resources, reducing signaling overhead.

[0520] In summary, this solution can reasonably process UE context information in a distributed network scenario based on the mobility attributes of the UE, reduce signaling overhead and improve service experience.
