[0025] In related technologies, there are scenarios where a terminal changes its temporary terminal identifier. For example, when the temporary terminal identifier is used to generate a paging frame and / or paging time related to the terminal, the paging frame and / or paging time related to the terminal can be changed by changing the temporary terminal identifier. In a scenario where the terminal is a multi-subscription user (for example, a multi-USIM (Universal Subscriber Identity Module, global user identification card)) and the radio frequency resources cannot satisfy the simultaneous activation of multiple subscription users, by changing the temporary terminal identifier, paging collisions in the network where two or more subscription users are present can be avoided (for example, after changing the paging frame and / or paging time, ensure that the paging frame and / or paging time do not collide).

[0026] Generally, the mobility registration process supports triggering the network-side device to allocate a new temporary terminal identifier for the terminal. When triggering the mobility registration process, the terminal can meet the need to obtain the changed temporary terminal identifier.
