[0038] However, when the UE sends an access stratum (AS) connection release request or a paging rejection, it may send a non-access stratum (NAS) data packet including paging restriction information. However, the NAS data packet is transparent to the RAN.

It is not difficult to understand that when the terminal does not intend to receive the received paging, the terminal supporting the paging rejection function can transmit information for paging rejection to the network.

[0046] In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the paging rejection is information for paging rejection.

[0047] In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the paging rejection can be realized by transmitting a detachment request (for example, a connection release request).

The second data includes data with a data type of the first value and / or data related to the second data channel. The first value includes, but is not limited to, at least one of voice, short message, and control plane signaling.

[0056] In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the network detachment function includes at least one of a function of releasing the connection between the terminal and the network and a function of placing the terminal in a disconnected state.

[0061] In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the NAS detachment request is a detachment request transmitted via NAS signaling. The NAS detachment request is understandable by the CN. The NAS detachment request is transparent to the RAN.

[0062] In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the AS detachment request is a detachment request transmitted via AS signaling (for example, RRC signaling). The AS detachment request is understandable by the RAN.

As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes step 21 of performing a first operation or a second operation.

[0067] Optionally, the first operation may include sending a NAS detachment request to the network, sending a NAS paging rejection to the network.

[0068] Optionally, sending a NAS detachment request to the network includes sending a NAS detachment request to the network and not sending an AS detachment request to the network.

[0070] In one embodiment, sending a NAS detachment request to the network includes sending NAS signaling including indication information for the NAS detachment request to the network.

[0071] In one embodiment, sending a NAS paging rejection request to the network includes sending NAS signaling including indication information for the NAS paging rejection to the network.

[0073] Optionally, the second operation may include at least one of sending an AS detachment request to the network, sending an AS paging rejection to the network.

[0074] Optionally, sending an AS detachment request to the network includes sending an AS detachment request to the network and not sending a NAS detachment request to the network.

[0076] In one embodiment, sending an AS detachment request to the network includes sending AS signaling (e.g., RRC signaling) including indication information for the AS detachment request to the network.

[0077] In one embodiment, sending an AS paging rejection request to the network includes sending AS signaling including indication information for AS paging rejection to the network.

[0078] The AS signaling includes at least one of a connection establishment request (e.g., RRC Setup Request) and a connection resume request (e.g., RRC Resume Request).

[0079] In one embodiment, by sending a NAS detachment request to the network, network detachment and / or paging rejection can be requested.

[0083] In one embodiment, when the terminal attempts to delete paging restriction information, it transmits a NAS detachment request to the network. The paging restriction information to be deleted is the paging restriction information previously transmitted to the network.

Here, the second condition may include the terminal tending to be released to an inactive state, at least one of the terminal tending to be immediately released.

[0085] In one embodiment, the so-called "immediately released" means that after the network (e.g., RAN) receives a detachment request, it does not return a connection release response and / or other information. For example, after receiving a NAS detachment request, the network may allocate a new user identifier (e.g., 5G Globally Unique Temporary Identifier (5G-GUTI)) to the terminal and then release the terminal.

[0091] Or, the second condition is, The terminal attempts to execute one of a detachment request transmission and a paging rejection transmission, The terminal is in a multi-card mode, The terminal supports and / or activates the AS network detachment function, The network supports and / or permits the terminal to use the AS network detachment function, The terminal supports and / or activates the AS paging rejection function, The network supports and / or permits the terminal to use the AS paging rejection function, The terminal does not support or activate the AS paging restriction function, It may further include at least one of the network not supporting or permitting the terminal to use the AS paging restriction function.

[0093] In one embodiment, when the terminal attempts to send paging restriction information, it can only send a NAS release request / paging rejection and does not send an RRC release request / paging rejection.

[0094] In one embodiment, the terminal is released to the idle state by a NAS detachment request. In another embodiment, the terminal is released to the idle state or the non-active state by an AS detachment request.

[0095] In one embodiment, paging restriction information cannot be executed in the inactive state. Therefore, when the terminal that sends a detachment request or a paging rejection request also sends the paging restriction information at the same time, when the paging restriction information is received by the network, the terminal is released to the idle state.

[0096] In one embodiment, when the terminal that sends a detachment request or a paging rejection request further transmits including NAS information, it can select a NAS detachment request. When sending an RRC detachment request, it is not difficult to understand that the terminal cannot be immediately released because the RAN does not confirm whether the CN needs to send downlink NAS information to the terminal after receiving the NAS information. At this time, the terminal can be more efficient by selecting a NAS detachment request.

[0097] According to this embodiment, it is not difficult to understand that when the terminal sends paging restriction information, the UE can be released to the corresponding state (for example, the idle state) by sending a NAS release request / paging rejection.

[0098] Referring to FIG. 3 which is a flowchart of another information processing method provided in the embodiments of the present application, the method is applied to a second communication device, and the second communication device includes, but is not limited to, a terminal (UE). As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes Step 31 of performing a third operation or a fourth operation.

[0103] In another embodiment, when the fourth operation includes sending release state trend information to a network, the release state trend information is used to indicate one of no tendency, a tendency to be released to an inactive state, and a tendency to be released to an idle state.

[0104] Optionally, sending paging restriction information to the above network may include sending paging restriction information and not sending information to request release to an inactive state.

[0105] And / or, sending information to the network to request the release to the above non-active state may include sending information to request the release to the non-active state and not sending paging restriction information.

[0106] And / or, sending the above release state trend information may include sending the release state trend information and not sending paging restriction information.

[0107] That is, for the behavior of the UE, the paging restriction information and the information for requesting the release to the non-active state (for example, RRC Inactive) cannot be sent simultaneously, and / or the paging restriction information and the release state trend information cannot be sent simultaneously.

[0108] Optionally, the above step of performing the third operation may include the step of performing the third operation when the third condition is satisfied.

[0109] In one embodiment, according to user preference information, the terminal's policy, and / or service status, etc., it can be determined that the priority of paging restriction information is higher than the priority of the tendency information to be released to the inactive state, or the priority of paging restriction information is higher than the priority of the tendency information in the release state. For example, the user can set the priority of paging restriction higher than the high-speed switching between two or more cards' networks. Generally, a terminal released to the inactive state has a faster network connection recovery speed than a terminal released to the idle state. Paging restriction can reduce the number of times the terminal is paged.

[0110] Optionally, the above step of performing the fourth operation may include the step of performing the fourth operation when the fourth condition is satisfied. Here, the fourth condition is that the terminal does not need to send paging restriction information to the network, that the terminal tends to be released to the inactive state, that the terminal tends to perform paging restriction on the network and the terminal tends to be released to the inactive state, but at least one of the priority of the paging restriction information is lower than the priority of the tendency information to be released to the inactive state, or the priority of the paging restriction information is lower than the priority of the tendency information in the release state may be included.

[0112] According to this embodiment, it can be realized that the paging restriction information and the information for requesting release to the inactive state cannot be sent simultaneously, and / or the paging restriction information and the tendency information in the release state cannot be sent simultaneously. It is not difficult to understand that when introducing paging restriction information, the UE can be released to the corresponding state.

[0189] According to this embodiment, it is not difficult to understand that when the terminal sends the paging restriction information, the corresponding state of the UE (for example, the idle state) can be released by the sent NAS release request / paging rejection.

[0190] The present application will be described below with reference to specific embodiments. (Embodiment 1)

[0191] In this Embodiment 1, as shown in FIG. 8A, when the UE attempts to transmit paging restriction information to the network or attempts to delete the paging restriction information, only a NAS release request / paging rejection can be sent, and an RRC release request / paging rejection cannot be sent. The related UE release procedure may include the following steps 8A-1 and 8A-2.

[0192] In step 8A-1, when the UE transmits paging restriction information to the network, it transmits a NAS detachment request or a NAS paging rejection, and at the same time transmits the paging restriction information to the CN (hereinafter, the AMF will be described as an example).

[0193] When the UE attempts to delete the paging restriction information, it transmits a NAS detachment request or a NAS paging rejection and does not transmit any paging restriction information.

[0194] In step 8A-2, the AMF determines whether to receive the paging restriction information according to network policies, terminal capabilities, and / or network capabilities, etc.

[0195] If it is determined not to receive the paging restriction information, the RAN can be requested to release the UE and transition it to a non-connected state (for example, a non-active state or an idle state), or related operations for releasing the UE and transitioning it to an idle state can be executed (for example, sending a UE context release command to the RAN).

[0196] If it is determined to receive the paging restriction information, related operations for releasing the UE and transitioning it to an idle state can be executed (for example, sending a UE context release command to the RAN). (Embodiment 2)

[0197] In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8B, the related UE release procedure may include the following steps 8B-1, 8B-2, 8B-3, and 8B-4.

[0198] In step 8B-1, when the UE attempts to send paging restriction information, it sends an AS release request / paging rejection to the RAN and transmits a NAS data packet including the paging restriction information to the RAN. In one embodiment, 8A-1 is a normal operation, and 8B-1 is an abnormal operation of the UE.

[0199] In step 8B-2, the RAN transfers the NAS data packet including the paging restriction information to the serving AMF. Alternatively, the RAN directly discards or ignores the NAS packet.

[0200] In step 8B-3, when the AMF does not receive the paging restriction information together with the NAS release request / NAS paging rejection from the RAN but receives the paging restriction information "alone", the AMF discards or ignores the paging restriction information. In one embodiment, this operation is an abnormal operation of the UE, and it is not difficult to understand that the paging restriction information is discarded.

[0201] In step 8B-4, after the RAN transfers the NAS data packet to the serving AMF, it can release the UE and transition it to a non-connected state (e.g., idle state or non-active state). (Embodiment 3)

[0202] In the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9A, the related UE release procedure may include steps 9A01, 9A02, 9A03, 9A04, 9A05, and 9A06.

[0203] In step 9A01, for a UE that supports paging restriction information, the CN (hereinafter, described by taking the AMF as an example) subscribes to the RAN (for example, the NG RAN) to notify the UE of the transition to the inactive state (for example, the RRC Inactive notification), for example, subscribes by means of a UE context creation or UE context modification command.

[0204] In step 9A02, the UE may transmit an RRC detachment request or an RRC paging rejection to the RAN, and at the same time, transmit an NAS data packet including paging restriction information.

[0205] In step 9A03, the RAN transfers the NAS data packet to the AMF.

[0206] In step 9A04, the RAN releases the UE and causes it to transition to the disconnected state (for example, the idle state or the inactive state), thereby realizing that the RAN releases the UE as quickly as possible.

[0207] In step 9A05, when releasing the UE and causing it to transition to the inactive state, notify the AMF.

[0208] The AMF determines whether to receive the paging restriction information according to the received paging restriction information.

[0209] If it is determined to receive the paging restriction information, the paging restriction information may be saved. If it is determined to receive the paging restriction information and a notification of the UE's transition to the inactive state is received, an operation of releasing the UE and causing it to transition to the idle state may be executed. For example, as shown in step 9A06, an UE context release command is transmitted to the RAN.

[0210] If it is determined not to receive the paging restriction information, the paging restriction information may be discarded or ignored. If it is determined not to receive the paging limit information and a notification of the transition of the UE to the inactive state is received, the UE may be kept in the inactive state. (Embodiment 4)

[0211] In this Embodiment 4, as shown in FIG. 9B, the related UE release procedure may include the following steps 9B01, 9B02, 9B03, 9B04, and 9B05.

[0212] In step 9B01, the UE may transmit an RRC release request or an RRC paging rejection to the RAN, and at the same time, transmit an NAS data packet including paging limit information.

[0213] In step 9B02, the RAN transfers the received NAS data packet to the CN.

[0214] In step 9B03, the RAN performs an operation of waiting for a certain period of time, specifically as shown in FIG. 5.

[0215] In step 9B04, after receiving the paging limit information, the CN (hereinafter, described by taking the AMF as an example) determines whether to receive the paging limit information.

[0216] The AMF determines whether to receive the paging limit information according to the received paging limit information.

[0217] If it is determined to receive the paging limit information, at least one of the following may be performed: saving the paging limit information, performing an operation of releasing the UE and transitioning it to the idle state (for example, as shown in step 9B05, transmitting a UE context release command to the RAN), and transmitting second indication information for instructing to receive the paging limit information to the RAN.

[0218] When it is determined not to receive the paging restriction information, at least one of the following may be executed: discarding or ignoring the paging restriction information, transmitting second indication information for instructing the RAN not to receive the paging restriction information, and instructing the RAN to release the terminal and transition it to a disconnected state.

[0219] If the RAN receives a UE context release command transmitted from the CN before the waiting times out, the RAN stops waiting and releases the UE according to the UE context release command.

[0220] If the RAN receives information transmitted from the CN for instructing whether to receive the paging restriction information before the waiting times out, the RAN stops waiting. Further, when the third indication information instructs to receive the paging restriction information, the RAN releases the terminal and transitions it to the idle state.

[0221] Further, when the second indication information instructs to receive the paging restriction information, the RAN releases the terminal and transitions it to the idle state.

[0222] Further, when the second indication information instructs not to receive the paging restriction information, the RAN releases the terminal and transitions it to a disconnected state (i.e., the idle state or the non-active state).

[0223] In step 9B04, when the waiting times out, the RAN releases the terminal and transitions it to a disconnected state (i.e., the idle state or the non-active state). (Embodiment 5)

[0224] In this Example 5, for the behavior of the UE, the paging restriction information and the information for requesting release to the inactive state (e.g., RRC Inactive) cannot be transmitted simultaneously, and / or the paging restriction information and the release state trend information cannot be transmitted simultaneously. For example, when trying to release the UE to the inactive state, the paging restriction information cannot be transmitted. However, when an abnormality occurs in the UE and the RAN receives the paging restriction information and the state trend information of the inactive state simultaneously, the RAN may determine not to receive the paging restriction information (e.g., discard or ignore the paging restriction information) based on network policies, terminal capabilities, and / or network capabilities, etc., and allow the UE to transition to the inactive state, or transfer the paging restriction information to release the UE to the idle state (e.g., RRC idle state). (Example 6)

[0225] In this Example 6, as shown in FIG. 10, the related UE release procedure may include the following steps 1001, 1002, 1003, and 1004.

[0226] In step 1001, the CN sends a UE context creation command message or a UE context modification command message to the RAN.

[0227] The message includes third indication information for indicating at least one of supporting the paging restriction function and not supporting the paging restriction function.

[0228] In step 1002, the UE sends an RRC detachment request or an RRC paging rejection to the RAN, and may also transmit, including a NAS data packet including paging restriction information or RRC paging restriction information (i.e., paging restriction information understandable by the RAN), and / or fourth indication information (indicating that the paging restriction information is included in the NAS data packet).

[0229] In step 1003, the RAN transfers the received NAS data packet or paging restriction information to the CN.

[0230] In step 1004, the RAN releases the UE according to the received information.

[0231] When the third indication information indicates that the paging restriction function is supported and the paging restriction information is received, the terminal is released and transitioned to the idle state.

[0232] When the third indication information indicates that it is determined that the paging restriction function is not supported, or the paging restriction information is not received, the terminal is released and transitioned to the disconnected state (i.e., the idle state or the non-active state).
