Paging Message Indicators for Selective Terminal Response
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to provide relevant information for a terminal device to determine whether to respond to a paging message, leading to unnecessary entry into a connected state.
Innovation Solution
A paging message is enhanced to include information units indicating paging cause, priority, or slice information, allowing the terminal device to make informed decisions on response.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the terminal device directly enters a connected state upon receiving a paging message, then the terminal device can receive service data, but unnecessary network resources are consumed when the paging message does not require a response
Solution Approach 1:
The paging message is segmented to include distinct information units: a first information unit indicating whether the terminal should enter connected state, and a second information unit indicating whether the terminal should respond to the paging message. This segmentation allows the terminal device to make selective decisions about state transitions and responses, avoiding unnecessary resource consumption while ensuring required services are received.
2Reliability
If the terminal device responds to all paging messages, then service data can be received, but the terminal device enters connected state unnecessarily in some cases
Solution Approach 1:
The paging message includes preliminary information units that indicate in advance whether the terminal device should enter connected state and whether it should respond. This preliminary information allows the terminal device to pre-determine its actions before actually processing the paging message, simplifying state management by providing clear guidance on required actions rather than requiring complex decision logic.

AI summary
Provided are a paging indication method and apparatus, and a terminal device and a network device. The method includes that: a terminal device receives a paging message sent by a first network, the first network being to a network corresponding to a first communication card of the terminal device. The paging message carries at least one information unit, and each information unit in the at least one information unit is used for indicating at least one of the following kinds of information of a paged terminal device: a paging reason, a paging priority or slice information.
