[0018] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the following further describes embodiments of the present disclosure in conjunction with the drawings.

[0019] The application scenarios of the present disclosure will be described below.

[0020] FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a communication system provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, which may include an access network 12 and a terminal 13 .

[0021] The access network 12 includes multiple network devices 120. The network devices 120 may be base stations, which are devices located in an access network and provide wireless communication functions for terminals. Base stations may include various types of macro base stations, micro base stations, relay stations, and entry points. In systems using different radio access technologies, devices with base station functions may be called by different names. For example, in an LTE system, they are called eNodeBs or eNBs, and in a 5G NR-U system, they are called gNodeBs or gNBs. As communication technologies evolve, the term "base station" may change. For convenience in describing the embodiments of the present disclosure, the devices with wireless communication functions provided for the terminals 13 described above will be collectively referred to as access network devices.

[0022] The terminal 13 may include various handheld devices, in-vehicle devices, wearable devices, computing devices or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem, and various types of user equipment, mobile stations (MS), terminal devices, etc. For convenience of description, the above devices are collectively referred to as terminals. The access network device 120 and the terminal 13 communicate with each other through an air interface technology, for example, a Uu interface.

[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to various communication systems, such as a Global System of Mobile communication (GSM) system, a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system, a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system, a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, an LTE Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) system, an LTE Time Division Duplex (TDD) system, an Advanced Long Term Evolution (LTE-A) system, a New Radio (NR) system, an evolution of the NR system, an LTE-based access to unlicensed spectrum (LTE-U) system, an NR-U system, a Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), a Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) communication system, a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) ... Networks (WLAN), Wireless Fidelity (WiFi), Next Generation Communication Systems or other communication systems.

[0024] Generally, the number of connections supported by conventional communication systems is limited and easy to implement. However, with the development of communication technology, mobile communication systems will support not only conventional communication but also device-to-device (D2D) communication, machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, machine-type communication (MTC), vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication technology. These communication systems can also be applied to the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0025] FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a paging rejection method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied to the terminal and network device shown in FIG. 1, and the method includes at least part of the following contents:

[0026] 210, the network device sends a paging message to the terminal.

[0027] 220, when the terminal is in a communication state, the terminal receives a paging message sent from the network device.

[0028] Here, the terminal supports a multi-card function, i.e., multiple cards are installed in the terminal, and the terminal communicates with a network device based on any one of the cards. Here, the card in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card, a USIM (Universal Subscriber Identity Module) card, an eSIM (Embedded Subscriber Identity Module) card, or other cards for communication, and is not limited to the embodiment of the present disclosure. The multiple cards in the terminal correspond to the same communication carrier or different communication carriers.

[0029] In some embodiments, the terminal is in a communication state when the terminal supports multiple cards and a first card of the multiple cards communicates with the network device. For example, when a first SIM card and a second SIM card are installed in the terminal, the terminal is in a communication state when communicating via the first SIM card or the second SIM card.

[0030] In some embodiments, when the first card communicates with the network device, if the network device transmits the paging message to another card other than the first card among the plurality of cards, the terminal receives a paging message transmitted from the network device based on the other card other than the first card among the plurality of cards.

[0031] For example, the card is described as a SIM card as an example, and the terminal includes a first SIM card or a second SIM card. When the terminal communicates with the network device through the first SIM card at this time, the terminal is in a communication state at this time, and the network device can send a paging message to the second SIM card terminal, and the terminal receives the paging message based on the second SIM card.

[0032] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when a terminal is in a communication state, a network device pages the terminal by sending a paging message to the terminal, the terminal receives the paging message sent from the network device, and then the terminal determines whether to reject the paging message.

[0033] In some embodiments, the paging message includes a paging cause, which indicates the reason why the network device is sending the current paging message and is used to inform the terminal of the type of service corresponding to the current paging.

[0034] Optionally, the paging cause includes a voice service or a non-voice service.

[0035] Here, the voice service refers to a service in which the terminal makes a voice call with another terminal, and the non-voice service includes a mobile data service, a short message sending service, or other services, and is not limited to these in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0036] In some embodiments, the paging message includes indication information, which is used to indicate the paging cause of the paging message sent from the network device, and which is set by the network device or set in other ways.

[0037] In some embodiments, the indication is indicated by a paging cause value, for example, a paging cause value of voice means that the paging cause is a voice service, a paging cause value of non-voice means that the paging cause is a non-voice service, or the paging message does not contain a paging cause value means that the paging cause is a non-voice service.

[0038] It should be noted that the above embodiment is merely an example in which the indication information indicates the paging cause. In another embodiment, if the network device supports the multi-card function, the network device indicates the paging cause by adding the indication information to the paging message; if the network device does not support the multi-card function, the paging cause is not included in the paging message sent from the network device.

[0039] 230, the terminal sends a rejection response message corresponding to the paging message to the network device according to the multi-card capability information of the network device and the paging message.

[0040] Here, the multi-card capability information is used to indicate whether the network device supports the multi-card capability, and the terminal device can determine whether the network device supports the multi-card capability based on the multi-card capability information.

[0041] In some embodiments, the multi-card capability message includes a predetermined number of bits indicating whether the network device indicates multi-card capability.

[0042] Here, the predetermined number may be set by the network device, by an operator, or by other methods, for example, 1, 2, 3, or other numbers.

[0043] For example, the predetermined number of bits is 1 bit, and if the multi-card capability information includes a first identifier, it means that the network device supports the multi-card capability, and if the multi-card capability information includes a second identifier, it means that the network device does not support the multi-card capability, where the first identifier is 1 and the second identifier is 0. Or, the first identifier is 0 and the second identifier is 1.

[0044] Note that the embodiment of the present disclosure has been described simply as an example in which the multi-card capability information directly indicates whether the network device supports the multi-card capability. In another embodiment, the multi-card capability information includes other information to indirectly indicate whether the network device supports the multi-card capability.

[0045] In some embodiments, the multi-card capability information includes a paging cause, which is used to indicate that the network device supports multi-card functionality.

[0046] In some embodiments, the multi-card capability information includes paging cause identifier information, which indicates whether the network device supports the paging cause, and thus indicates whether the network device supports the multi-card function. If the network device supports the paging cause, it means that the network device supports the multi-card function; if the network device does not support the paging cause, it means that the network device does not support the multi-card function.

[0047] For example, if the identifier information included in the multi-card capability information is 0, it means that the network device supports a paging cause, and therefore supports the multi-card function. If the identifier information included in the multi-card capability information is 1, it means that the network device does not support a paging cause, and therefore does not support the multi-card function.

[0048] In some embodiments, if the multi-card capability information includes a paging cause, it means that the network device supports the multi-card capability, and the paging cause is similar to the paging cause of step 220 above, and will not be described in detail here.

[0049] In some embodiments, the paging cause included in the multi-card capability information is indicated by preset indication information, which is similar to the indication information in step 220 above, and will not be described in detail here.

[0050] In some embodiments, the multi-card capability information further includes at least one of busy indication information, filtering information, and multi-card capability leaving information.

[0051] Here, the busy indication information is used to indicate that the terminal is busy. For example, when the terminal is in a communication state, the network device sends a paging message to the terminal, and the terminal sends the busy indication information to the network device to inform the network device that it is currently busy and will not receive the paging message.

[0052] The multi-card function leave information is used to instruct the terminal to leave the current service. For example, when the terminal is in a communication state, the network device sends a paging message to the terminal, and the terminal needs to receive the paging message. At this time, the terminal sends the multi-card function leave information to the network device to inform the network device that it will leave the communication state of the current service and receive the paging message.

[0053] The filtering information is used to instruct filtering of corresponding paging services. For example, after the terminal transmits the filtering information, the network device determines the paging service types that the terminal will not receive based on the filtering information. When the network device needs to transmit a paging message to the terminal, it must first determine whether the paging message to be transmitted belongs to the scope of the filtering information. If it determines that the paging message belongs to the scope of the filtering information, it will not transmit the paging message to the terminal; if the paging message belongs to the scope of the filtering information, it will transmit the paging message to the terminal.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a terminal obtains multi-card capability information of a network device, determines whether the network device supports the multi-card capability based on the multi-card capability information, and further sends a paging message rejection response message to the network device based on the multi-card capability information of the network device and the paging message.

[0055] The following describes a method for determining a rejection response message based on multi-card capability information and a paging cause.

[0056] (1) If the multi-card capability information includes that the network device supports the multi-card capability and the paging message does not include a paging cause, send a rejection response message corresponding to the paging message to the network device.

[0057] If the terminal determines based on the multi-card capability information that the network device supports the multi-card capability, and the paging message does not include a paging cause, the terminal determines that there is no need to respond to the paging message, and may understand that the received paging message is of low importance, and sends a rejection response message corresponding to the paging message to the network device.

[0058] (2) If the multi-card capability information includes that the network device supports the multi-card capability and the paging cause of the paging message is a non-voice service, send a rejection response message corresponding to the paging message to the network device.

[0059] If the terminal determines based on the multi-card capability information that the network device supports the multi-card capability and the paging cause in the paging message is a non-voice service, it means that the terminal does not need to respond to the paging message, and can understand that the non-voice service is of low importance, and sends a rejection response message corresponding to the paging message to the network device.

[0060] (3) If the multi-card capability information includes that the network device does not support the multi-card capability, send a rejection response message corresponding to the paging message to the network device.

[0061] If the terminal determines based on the multi-card function information that the network device does not support the multi-card function, even if the network device sends a paging message, the terminal directly rejects it and sends a paging message rejection message to the network device.

[0062] In addition, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described simply as an example in which the terminal determines the rejection response message based on the multi-card capability information and the paging message, but in some other embodiments, the terminal sends a rejection response message corresponding to the paging message to the network device based on the multi-card capability information, the paging message, and the currently processed service information.

[0063] In some embodiments, if the multi-card capability information includes that the network device supports the multi-card capability and the priority of the paging message is lower than the priority of the service information, the terminal sends a rejection response message corresponding to the paging message to the network device.

[0064] If the terminal determines based on the multi-card capability information that the network device supports the multi-card capability and the priority of the paging message is lower than the priority of the service information, it means that the currently processed service information is more important than the service information contained in the paging message, and in this case, it means that the terminal does not need to respond to the paging message, and sends a rejection response message corresponding to the paging message to the network device.

[0065] For example, the priority of a voice service is higher than the priority of a non-voice service, and if the service corresponding to the paging message is a non-voice service while the currently processed service information is a voice service, the terminal determines a rejection response message corresponding to the paging message and then sends the rejection voice message to the network device.

[0066] In some other embodiments, if the multi-card capability information includes that the network device does not support the multi-card capability, and the priority of the paging message is lower than the priority of the service information, the terminal sends a rejection response message corresponding to the paging message to the network device.

[0067] If the terminal determines based on the multi-card capability information that the network device does not support the multi-card capability and the priority of the paging message is lower than the priority of the service information, it means that the currently processed service information is more important than the service information contained in the paging message, and in this case, it means that the terminal does not need to respond to the paging message, and sends a rejection response message corresponding to the paging message to the network device.

[0068] 240, the network device receives a rejection response message corresponding to the paging message sent from the terminal.

[0069] When the network device receives the reject response message, it determines that the terminal will not respond to the paging message at this time, and the network device stops further paging the terminal.

[0070] In addition, the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described simply as an example in which the terminal sends a rejection response message to the network device for the paging message. In another embodiment, the terminal may send a response acceptance message corresponding to the paging message to the network device.

[0071] In some embodiments, if the multi-card capability information includes that the network device supports multi-card capability and the paging message includes a paging cause, a response acceptance message corresponding to the paging message is sent to the network device.

[0072] If the terminal determines based on the multi-card capability information that the network device supports the multi-card capability and the paging message includes a paging cause, the terminal determines that it needs to respond to the paging message, can understand that the received paging message is of high importance, and sends a response acceptance message corresponding to the paging message to the network device.

[0073] In some other embodiments, if the multi-card capability information includes that the network device supports multi-card capability and the paging cause of the paging message is a voice service, a response acceptance message corresponding to the paging message is sent to the network device.

[0074] If the terminal determines based on the multi-card capability information that the network device supports the multi-card capability and the paging cause in the paging message is a voice service, it means that the terminal needs to respond to the paging message, and may understand that the voice service is of high importance, and send a rejection response message corresponding to the paging message to the network device.

[0075] In some other embodiments, if the multi-card capability information includes that the network device supports the multi-card capability and the priority of the paging message is higher than the priority of the service information, the terminal sends a response acceptance message corresponding to the paging message to the network device.

[0076] If the terminal determines based on the multi-card capability information that the network device supports the multi-card capability and the priority of the paging message is higher than the priority of the service information, it means that the service information contained in the paging message is more important than the service information currently being processed, and in this case, it means that the terminal needs to respond to the paging message, and sends a response acceptance message corresponding to the paging message to the network device.

[0077] In the method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal determines whether the network device supports the multi-card function based on the multi-card function information of the network device, and when the terminal is in a communication state, determines to reject a paging message sent from the network device based on whether the network device supports the multi-card function, which fully takes into account the situation of whether the network device supports the multi-card function and improves the accuracy of the terminal rejecting the paging message.

[0078] Based on the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the embodiment of FIG. 3 shows a flowchart of a paging rejection method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied to the terminal and network device shown in FIG. 1, and the method includes at least part of the following contents:

[0079] 310, the network device sends multi-card capability information to the terminal.

[0080] 320, the terminal receives multi-card capability information sent from the network device.

[0081] In some embodiments, the network device is a base station, the base station transmits a system broadcast message to the terminal, and the terminal receives the system broadcast message transmitted from the base station, the system broadcast message including the multi-card capability information.

[0082] If the network device is a base station, when the terminal is within the communication range of the base station, the base station will send the corresponding multi-card capability information to the terminal in a broadcast manner.

[0083] For example, the base station carries the multi-card capability message in a system broadcast message and transmits the system broadcast message to the terminal.

[0084] In some embodiments, the network device is a core network device, the core network device transmits core network signaling to the terminal, and the terminal receives the core network signaling transmitted from the core network device, the core network signaling including the multi-card capability information.

[0085] In some embodiments, a terminal may receive core network signaling sent from a core network device via Non Access Stratum (NAS) signaling.

[0086] Here, if the network device is a core network device, the core network device obtains whether each base station supports the multi-card function, and further transmits the obtained multi-card function information to the terminal, so that the terminal obtains whether the base station supports the multi-card function.

[0087] In some embodiments, the core network device is an AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function) network element, or an SMF (Session Management function) network element, or another type of network element.

[0088] In some embodiments, the multi-card capability information includes at least one of: whether the cell supports multi-card capability; whether the base station supports multi-card capability; and whether the core network device supports multi-card capability.

[0089] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the multi-card capability information transmitted from the network device may represent different granularities. For example, if the multi-card capability information includes whether a cell supports the multi-card capability, the multi-card capability information belongs to cell granularity. If the multi-card capability information includes whether a base station supports the multi-card capability, the multi-card capability information belongs to base station granularity. If the multi-card capability information includes whether a core network device supports the multi-card capability, the multi-card capability information belongs to core network granularity. Regardless of the granularity of the multi-card capability information, the terminal can determine whether the network device supports the multi-card capability after receiving the multi-card capability information, or the multi-card capability information transmitted from the network device may include multiple granularities.

[0090] In the method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the network device informs the terminal whether the network device supports the multi-card function by sending multi-card function information to the terminal device, and thus the terminal determines a rejection response message for the paging message based on whether the network device supports the multi-card function, thereby improving not only the timeliness with which the terminal obtains whether the network device supports the multi-card function, but also the accuracy with which the terminal rejects the paging message sent from the network device.

[0091] The following description takes as an example a base station sending multi-card capability information to a terminal. Referring to Figure 4, the method is applied to a terminal, a base station, and a core network device, the terminal includes SIM1 and SIM2, and the terminal is in a state of communicating via SIM1, and the method includes the following steps 410 to 480.

[0092] 410, the base station sends a system broadcast message including multi-card capability information to SIM2 of the terminal.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the network device is a base station and SIM1 of the terminal is in a communication state, the base station sends a system broadcast message to SIM2 of the terminal to inform the base station whether it supports the multi-card function.

[0094] 420, the core network device sends a paging message to the base station, the paging message including a paging cause.

[0095] 430, the base station sends a paging message to SIM2 of the terminal.

[0096] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the core network device determines SIM2 that needs to page the terminal, and at this time, the core network device sends a paging message to the base station, which then sends the paging message to SIM2 of the terminal via the base station.

[0097] 440, SIM2 of the terminal receives the paging message sent from the base station.

[0098] 450, the terminal decides to reject the paging message.

[0099] Here, the manner in which the terminal decides to reject the paging message is similar to step 240 in the above embodiment, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0100] 460, SIM2 of the terminal sends a rejection response message corresponding to the paging message to the base station.

[0101] 470, the base station forwards the received rejection response message to the core network device.

[0102] 480, the core network device stops sending paging messages to the terminal based on the received reject response message.

[0103] In the method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, a base station sends multi-card capability information to a terminal device to inform the terminal whether the network device supports the multi-card capability, so that the terminal determines a rejection response message for a paging message based on whether the network device supports the multi-card capability, thereby improving not only the timeliness with which the terminal obtains whether the network device supports the multi-card capability, but also the accuracy with which the terminal rejects a paging message sent from the network device.

[0104] The following description will take as an example a core network device sending multi-card capability information to a terminal. Referring to FIG. 5, the method is applied to a terminal, a base station, and a core network device, the terminal includes SIM1 and SIM2, and the terminal is in a state of communicating via SIM1, and the method includes the following steps 510 to 590.

[0105] 510, the core network device acquires the multi-card capability of the base station.

[0106] 520, the core network device sends core network signaling including the multi-card capability information to SIM2 of the terminal.

[0107] 530, the core network device sends a paging message including a paging cause to the base station.

[0108] 540, the base station sends a paging message to SIM2 of the terminal.

[0109] 550, SIM2 of the terminal receives the paging message sent from the base station.

[0110] 560, the terminal decides to reject the paging message.

[0111] 570, SIM2 of the terminal sends a rejection response message corresponding to the paging message to the base station.

[0112] 580, the base station forwards the received rejection response message to the core network device.

[0113] 590, the core network device stops sending paging messages to the terminal based on the received reject response message.
