[0069] The following is a description of the technologies related to the embodiments of the present application.

[0070] After the UE registers on a network (such as a 4G network), it needs to:

[0071] Monitor the system information block (SIB) message sent by the base station under the network, so as to synchronize with the base station;

[0072] Determine the current cell and tracking area (TA) by monitoring the SIB sent by the base station under the network, and send a Tracking Area Update (TAU) message when the tracking area changes;

[0073] Monitor the paging message sent by the base station under the network, so as to receive the data or signaling sent by the network to the UE.

[0074] The following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes in detail the information transmission method, apparatus, terminal and device provided in the embodiments of the present application through some embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0075] like Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides an information transmission method, including:

[0076] Step 201: The terminal sends first indication information to the first core network node or the second core network node, where the first indication information is used to indicate that the terminal is in a target state in the second network;

[0077] Wherein, the target state includes at least one of the following: a sending-only state, a non-receiving state, and a deactivated state;

[0078] The first core network node belongs to a first network, and the second core network node belongs to a second network.

[0079] It should be noted that the application scenario corresponding to the embodiment of the present application is that the terminal has registered and accessed the first network and the second network.

[0080] Optionally, the first network and the second network may be networks corresponding to different network standards, and the network standards may include 3G, 4G, 5G, 6G, etc. For example, the first network is a 4G network and the second network is a 5G network; or, the first network is a 5G network and the second network is a 4G network. Optionally, the first network and the second network may also be networks corresponding to the same network standard, for example, the first network is a 5G network of operator A, and the second network is a 5G network of operator B.

[0081] It should be noted that, by sending first indication information indicating that the terminal is in a sending-only state, a non-receiving state or a deactivated state in the second network to the first core network node in the first network or the second core network node in the second network, the relevant network elements in the second network are prevented from sending system messages and paging messages. In this way, the terminal does not need to monitor system messages and paging messages in the second network, or even if the relevant network elements in the second network send system messages and paging messages, the terminal does not need to monitor system messages and paging messages in the second network. This enables the terminal to not monitor system messages and paging messages of some networks when registered to more than one network, thereby saving terminal power consumption.

[0082] Optionally, in an implementation manner, the first indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0083] A11, an indication that the terminal only sends in the second network;

[0084] This situation can be understood as the terminal only sending information in the second network and not receiving information or messages sent by the network side.

[0085] A12, dual steer indication;

[0086] This situation can be understood as the terminal being in a dual transmission state or a dual registration state, and can perform energy-saving operations in the second network.

[0087] A13, multiple transmission indication;

[0088] This situation can be understood as the terminal being in a multi-transmission state or a multi-registration state, and can perform energy-saving operations in the second network.

[0089] A14, an indication that the terminal is only in a registered state in the second network;

[0090] This situation can be understood as the terminal only registering in the second network and not receiving information or messages sent by the network side.

[0091] A15, information about the offline duration of the terminal in the second network;

[0092] This situation can be understood as that, within the time indicated by the offline duration information, the terminal does not receive information or messages sent by the network side in the second network.

[0093] A16, an indication that the terminal is in a deactivated (deactive or inactive) state in the second network;

[0094] This situation can be understood as the terminal being deactivated in the second network, that is, the terminal does not receive information or messages sent by the network side in the second network.

[0095] It should be noted that by indicating at least one item of A11-A16 to the first core network node or the second core network node, the first core network node or the second core network node is clearly informed of the current status of the terminal, so that the terminal does not need to monitor system messages and paging messages in the second network. When the terminal is registered to more than one network, it does not need to monitor the system messages and paging messages of some networks, thereby saving terminal power consumption.

[0096] The different implementation situations of the embodiments of the present application are described below.

[0097] Case 1: The terminal sends the first indication information to the first core network node

[0098] Optionally, in one implementation manner, the specific implementation of sending the first indication information to the first core network node includes:

[0099] The terminal sends a first message to the first core network node, where the first message carries the first indication information.

[0100] Optionally, the first message includes at least one of the following:

[0101] B11, Service Request message;

[0102] B12, Registration message;

[0103] B13, uplink non-access layer transport (UL NAS transport) message;

[0104] B14. Configuration Update Command message.

[0105] It should be noted that by sending the first indication information with the aid of at least one of B11-B14, no additional message needs to be introduced, thereby reducing resource overhead.

[0106] Optionally, in one implementation, the first message also carries a target identifier, and the target identifier is used by the first core network node to determine a second core network node in the second network that provides services for the terminal.

[0107] It should be noted that, by sending the target identifier, it is possible to ensure that the first core network node accurately determines the second core network node under the second network, and ensure accurate transmission of the message sent by the first core network node.

[0108] Optionally, in one implementation, the target identifier includes at least one of the following:

[0109] B21, Globally Unique Temporary UE Identity (GUTI);

[0110] B22, the world's only second core network node identifier.

[0111] For example, when the second network is a 4G network, the second core network node may be an MME, and the globally unique second core network node identifier is a globally unique MME identifier (Globally Unique MME Identity, GUMMEI).

[0112] Optionally, when the second network is a 4G network, GUTI is a temporary identifier allocated by the MME to the UE, and the GUTI includes the GUMMEI.

[0113] Further, after the first core network node receives the first indication information, optionally, in one implementation manner, the method further includes:

[0114] The first core network node sends third indication information to the second core network node, where the third indication information is used to indicate that the terminal is in the target state under the second network.

[0115] It should be noted that since the first core network node is not the core network node under the second network, in order to enable the core network node under the second network to know the current status of the terminal, the first core network node should promptly send the third indication information to the second core network node under the second network, so that the second core network node can promptly know the status of the terminal, avoid sending messages, and reduce sending resource overhead.

[0116] Optionally, the first core network node may determine the second core network node that receives the third indication information through a target identifier carried in the first message sent by the terminal.

[0117] It should be noted that the information format of the third indication information and the first indication information may be the same or different.

[0118] Optionally, in order to make the second core network node clear about which terminal the indication information is for, the first core network node should also send the identification information of the terminal to the second core network node, for example, the identification information of the terminal may be an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI). Optionally, the third indication information and the identification information of the terminal may be sent to the second core network node through the same message.

[0119] It should be noted here that when the second core network node receives the third indication information sent by the first core network node, the second core network node records that the terminal is in the target state in the second network. When other network elements subsequently request to paging the terminal, the second core network node does not send a paging message to the terminal.

[0120] Optionally, in one implementation, the method further includes:

[0121] The first core network node sends fourth indication information to the first network element, and the fourth indication information is used to instruct the first network element to send the address of the network element of the first network to the second network element when receiving the target request of the second network element, and the target request is used to request the first network element to feedback the address of the network element that provides service for the terminal.

[0122] It should be noted that by sending the fourth indication information to the first network element, it is ensured that the first network element will not provide the address of the network element of the second network to other network elements, thereby further avoiding the situation where the network element under the second network sends paging messages and system messages to the terminal, thereby reducing the sending resource overhead.

[0123] Optionally, the first network element may be a network element that implements data management and home subscriber services. For example, the first network element may be a network element that combines a unified data management function (UDM) and a home subscriber server (HSS).

[0124] Optionally, when the first network element receives the fourth indication information, the first network element may record that the network element under the first network provides services for the terminal; or, the first network element may record that the second network is in a deactivated state; so that when the first network element receives a request from the second network element to the first network element to feedback the address of the network element that provides services for the terminal, the first network element only feeds back the address of the network element of the first network to the second network element.

[0125] For example, when the first network is a 5G network and the second network is a 4G network, if the second network element (for example, the second network element may be a Short Messaging Service Gateway Mobile Switching Center (SMS-GMSC)) requests the first network element for the address of the network element that provides services for the terminal, the first network element returns the address of the 5G Short Message Service Function (SMSF) to the second network element.

[0126] Optionally, the first core network node sends a response message to the terminal, and the terminal receives the response message and records that the second network is in the target state. Further optionally, the terminal performs at least one of the following in the second network:

[0127] B31, only send periodic update messages;

[0128] B32. Do not monitor messages sent by the access network device of the second network;

[0129] For example, the terminal does not monitor paging messages and system messages sent by the access network device under the second network.

[0130] It should be noted that, by executing at least one of the above B31 and B32, the terminal may not monitor the messages under the second network, thereby saving power consumption of the terminal.

[0131] Case 2: The terminal sends the first indication information to the second core network node

[0132] Optionally, in one implementation manner, the specific implementation of sending the first indication information to the second core network node includes:

[0133] The terminal sends a second message to the second core network node, where the second message carries the first indication information;

[0134] The second message includes at least one of the following:

[0135] C11, service request message;

[0136] C12, Tracking Area Update (TAU) message;

[0137] C13. Uplink non-access layer transmission message.

[0138] It should be noted that by sending the first indication information with the help of at least one of C11-C13, no additional message needs to be introduced, thereby reducing resource overhead.

[0139] Further, after the second core network node receives the first indication information, optionally, in one implementation manner, the method further includes:

[0140] The second core network node sends seventh indication information to the first network element, and the seventh indication information is used to instruct the first network element to send the address of the network element of the first network to the second network element when receiving the target request of the second network element, and the target request is used to request the first network element to feedback the address of the network element that provides service to the terminal.

[0141] It should be noted that by sending the seventh indication information to the first network element, it is ensured that the first network element will not provide the address of the network element of the second network to other network elements, thereby further avoiding the situation where the network element under the second network sends paging messages and system messages to the terminal, thereby reducing the sending resource overhead.

[0142] Optionally, the first network element may be a network element for implementing data management and home user services. For example, the first network element may be a network element jointly provided by UDM and HSS.

[0143] Optionally, when the first network element receives the seventh indication information, the first network element may record that the network element under the first network provides services for the terminal; or, the first network element may record that the second network is in a deactivated state; so that when the first network element receives a request from the second network element to the first network element to feedback the address of the network element that provides services for the terminal, the first network element only feeds back the address of the network element of the first network to the second network element.

[0144] Optionally, the first core network node sends a response message to the terminal, and the terminal receives the response message and records that the second network is in the target state. Further optionally, the terminal performs at least one of the following in the second network:

[0145] C31, only send periodic update messages;

[0146] C32: Do not monitor messages sent by the access network device of the second network;

[0147] For example, the terminal does not monitor paging messages and system messages sent by the access network device under the second network.

[0148] It should be noted that the above situation 1 and situation 2 can be considered that the terminal actively shuts down the reception of the second network. When the terminal hopes to continue to receive messages on the second network, optionally, in one implementation, the method further includes:

[0149] The terminal sends second indication information to the first core network node or the second core network node, where the second indication information is used to indicate that the terminal is not in a target state or is in a sending and receiving state under the second network.

[0150] It should be noted that, by sending second indication information to the first core network node in the first network or the second core network node in the second network, indicating that the terminal is not in a sending-only state, a non-receiving state, a deactivated state, or a sending and receiving state in the second network, the terminal can turn off monitoring of system messages and paging messages in the second network and, when there is a reception demand, turn on the reception of system messages and paging messages in the second network, thereby realizing normal communication of the terminal in the second network.

[0151] Optionally, when the first indication information is sent to the first core network node, the terminal sends the second indication information to the first core network node; when the first indication information is sent to the second core network node, the terminal sends the second indication information to the second core network node.

[0152] Optionally, when the first core network node receives the second indication information sent by the terminal, the first core network node sends fifth indication information to the second core network node, and the fifth indication information is used to indicate that the terminal is not in the target state or is in the sending and receiving state under the second network.

[0153] It should be noted that since the first core network node is not the core network node under the second network, in order to enable the core network node under the second network to know the current status of the terminal, the first core network node should promptly send the fifth indication information to the second core network node under the second network, so that the second core network node can promptly know the status of the terminal, restart the sending of messages, and ensure normal communication of the terminal.

[0154] It should be noted that the information format of the fifth indication information and the second indication information may be the same or different.

[0155] It should be noted here that when the second core network node receives the fifth indication information sent by the first core network node, the second core network node records that the terminal is not in the target state or in the sending and receiving state in the second network. When other network elements subsequently request to paging the terminal, the second core network node sends a paging message to the terminal.

[0156] Optionally, in an implementation manner, when the first core network node receives the second indication information sent by the terminal, the method further includes:

[0157] The first core network node sends sixth indication information to the first network element, and the sixth indication information is used to instruct the first network element to send the address of the network element of the second network to the second network element when receiving a target request from the second network element, or to send the address of the network element of the second network and the address of the network element of the first network to the second network element.

[0158] It should be noted that, by sending the sixth indication information to the first network element, it is ensured that the first network element can provide the address of the network element of the second network to other network elements, thereby achieving normal communication of the terminal in the second network.

[0159] Optionally, when the first network element receives the sixth indication information, the first network element may record that the network element under the second network provides services for the terminal; or, the first network element may record that the second network is in an activated state; so that when the second network element requests the first network element to feedback the address of the network element that provides services for the terminal, the first network element feedbacks the address of the network element of the second network to the second network element, or feedbacks the address of the network element of the second network and the address of the network element of the first network.

[0160] Optionally, when the second core network node receives the second indication information sent by the terminal, the second core network node sends an eighth indication information to the first network element, and the eighth indication information is used to instruct the first network element to send the address of the network element of the second network to the second network element when receiving the target request of the second network element, or to send the address of the network element of the second network and the address of the network element of the first network to the second network element.

[0161] It should be noted that, by sending the eighth indication information to the first network element, it is ensured that the first network element can provide the address of the network element of the second network to other network elements, thereby achieving normal communication of the terminal in the second network.

[0162] Optionally, when the first network element receives the eighth indication information, the first network element may record that the network element under the second network provides services for the terminal; or, the first network element may record that the second network is in an activated state; so that when the second network element requests the first network element to feedback the address of the network element that provides services for the terminal, the first network element feedbacks the address of the network element of the second network to the second network element, or feedbacks the address of the network element of the second network and the address of the network element of the first network.

[0163] It should be noted that the sending of the second indication information is only one way for the terminal to activate the second network. Optionally, the embodiment of the present application also provides the following implementation method for activating the second network.

[0164] Method 1: The terminal sends any message to the second core network node, that is, the second core network node considers that the terminal is not in the target state or is in the sending and receiving state when receiving any NAS message sent by the terminal.

[0165] Method 2: When the first message sent by the terminal does not carry the first indication information, the second core network node receives such a first message and considers that the terminal is not in the target state or is in the sending and receiving state.

[0166] It should be noted that when the terminal is in a scenario where it is registered with two networks, the above method can be used to activate one network; optionally, when the terminal is in a scenario where it is registered with three or more networks, the networks that do not need to be activated can be deactivated separately based on the above method. For example, the terminal is registered with network A, network B and network C at the same time, and the terminal needs to deactivate network B and network C. Then, the terminal needs to execute the above method separately to deactivate network B and network C; it should be noted that the process of deactivating network B and network C can be executed independently or in parallel.

[0167] Taking the first network as a 5G network and the second network as a 4G network as an example, the specific application of the embodiment of the present application is illustrated as follows.

[0168] Application scenario 1: The terminal sends the first indication information to the AMF in the 5G network

[0169] like Figure 3 As shown, the specific implementation process includes:

[0170] Step 31: The UE sends a first message to the AMF of the 5G network, where the first message carries first indication information.

[0171] Optionally, the first message also carries identification information of the 4G network.

[0172] The first indication information is used to indicate that the UE is in a sending-only state, a non-receiving state, or a deactivated state on the 4G network, and the first indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0173] 4G only sends (Mobile Originated, MO) indication;

[0174] Dual steer instructions;

[0175] 4G attach only indication;

[0176] Information about the duration of UE being offline on the 4G network;

[0177] Indication that the UE is in a deactivated state in 4G.

[0178] It should be noted that the UE being in a sending-only state or a non-receiving state can also be understood as the UE being in a sending-only or non-receiving mode.

[0179] The identification information of the 4G network is used by the AMF to determine the MME that provides services for the UE through the 4G network. The identification information includes at least one item:

[0180] 4G GUTI (Globally Unique Temporary UE Identity)

[0181] 4G GUMMEI (Globally Unique MME Identity)

[0182] Optionally, the first message may be a non-access stratum (NAS) message, and the first message may be at least one of the following messages:

[0183] Service Request message;

[0184] Registration message;

[0185] UL NAS transport message;

[0186] Configuration Update Command message.

[0187] Step 32: AMF sends the fourth indication information and the identification information of the UE to UDM+HSS to notify UDM+HSS that when other network elements subsequently request the network element that provides services to the UE, the address of the 5G network element is returned.

[0188] It should be noted that the format of the fourth indication information may be the same as or different from the format of the first indication information.

[0189] It should be noted that this step is optional.

[0190] Step 33: UDM+HSS records that the current 5G network element provides services for the UE, or the 4G network element is in a deactivated state.

[0191] Step 34: AMF sends the third indication information and the identification information of the UE to the MME.

[0192] The third indication information is used to indicate that the UE is in a sending-only state, a non-receiving state or a deactivated state in the 4G network. The format of the third indication information may be the same as or different from that of the first indication information.

[0193] Optionally, the AMF determines the address of the MME based on the identification information of the 4G network provided by the UE.

[0194] Step 35: The MME records the UE's status in the 4G network as being in a sending-only state, a non-receiving state, or a deactivated state.

[0195] For example, when other network elements subsequently request to page the UE, the MME does not send a paging message to the UE.

[0196] Step 36: AMF sends a response message to UE;

[0197] The UE records that it is in the sending-only state, non-receiving state or deactivated state in the 4G network; the UE does not monitor base station messages in the 4G network and only sends periodic update messages

[0198] Subsequently, when the UE wishes to continue receiving messages in the 4G network, the UE sends a second indication message to the AMF through a NAS message, where the second indication message is used to indicate that the UE is not in a sending-only state, a non-receiving state, or a deactivated state in the 4G network, or the second indication message is used to indicate that the UE is in a sending and receiving state in the 4G network.

[0199] Furthermore, AMF needs to send the sixth indication information to UDM+HSS, and AMF sends the fifth indication information to MME.

[0200] Application scenario 2: The terminal sends the first indication information to the MME in the 4G network

[0201] like Figure 4 As shown, the specific implementation process includes:

[0202] Step 41: The UE sends a first message to the 4G network MME, where the first message carries first indication information.

[0203] The first indication information is used to indicate that the UE is in a sending-only state, a non-receiving state, or a deactivated state on the 4G network, and the first indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0204] 4G only sends instructions;

[0205] Dual steer instructions;

[0206] 4G only registers the indication;

[0207] Information about the duration of UE being offline on the 4G network;

[0208] Indication that the UE is in a deactivated state in 4G.

[0209] Optionally, the first message may be a NAS message, and the first message may be at least one of the following messages:

[0210] Service Request message;

[0211] TAU News;

[0212] UL NAS transport message.

[0213] Step 42: The MME records the state of the UE in the 4G network as being in a sending-only state, a non-receiving state, or a deactivated state.

[0214] For example, when other network elements subsequently request to page the UE, the MME does not send a paging message to the UE.

[0215] Step 43: MME sends the seventh indication information and the identification information of the UE to UDM+HSS to notify UDM+HSS that when other network elements subsequently request the network element that provides services to the UE, the address of the 5G network element is returned.

[0216] The format of the seventh indication information may be the same as or different from the format of the first indication information.

[0217] It should be noted that this step is optional.

[0218] Step 44: UDM+HSS records that the current 5G network element provides services for the UE, or the 4G network element is in a deactivated state.

[0219] Step 45: The MME sends a response message to the UE.

[0220] The UE records that it is in a sending-only state, a non-receiving state, or a deactivated state in the 4G network; the UE does not monitor base station messages in the 4G network and only sends periodic update messages.

[0221] Subsequently, when the UE wishes to continue receiving messages in the 4G network, the UE may perform one of the following operations:

[0222] 1. The UE sends second indication information to the MME through a NAS message, where the second indication information is used to indicate that the UE is not in a sending-only state, a non-receiving state or a deactivated state in the 4G network, or the second indication information is used to indicate that the UE is in a sending and receiving state in the 4G network.

[0223] 2. When the UE sends any message on the 4G network, that is, when the MME receives any 4G NAS message sent by the UE, it considers that the UE is not in the sending-only state, the non-receiving state, the deactivated state, or the sending-receiving state.

[0224] 3. When the NAS message sent by the UE does not carry the first indication information, the MME considers that it is not in the sending-only state, the non-receiving state, the deactivated state, or the sending-receiving state.

[0225] Furthermore, the MME needs to send eighth indication information to the UDM+HSS.

[0226] It should be noted that at least one embodiment of the present application can enable the terminal to register with more than one network without having to monitor the information sent by all two networks, thereby saving power consumption of the terminal.

[0227] like Figure 5 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides an information transmission method, including:

[0237] Optionally, the first indication information sent by the receiving terminal includes:

[0252] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0255] The first core network node sends fifth indication information to the second core network node, where the fifth indication information is used to indicate that the terminal is not in a target state or is in a sending and receiving state under the second network.

[0257] The first core network node sends sixth indication information to the first network element, and the sixth indication information is used to instruct the first network element to send the address of the network element of the second network to the second network element when receiving a target request from the second network element, or to send the address of the network element of the second network and the address of the network element of the first network to the second network element.
