具体实施方式
下面将结合附图,对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统,全球互联微波接入(worldwide interoperability for microwave access, WiMAX)通信系统,第五代(5th Generation,5G)系统,如新一代无线接入技术(new radio access technology,NR),多种系统融合的网络,物联网系统,车联网系统,以及未来的通信系统,如6G系统等。
本申请将围绕可包括多个设备、组件、模块等的系统来呈现各个方面、实施例或特征。应当理解和明白的是,各个系统可以包括另外的设备、组件、模块等,并且/或者可以并不包括结合附图讨论的所有设备、组件、模块等。此外,还可以使用这些方案的组合。
另外,在本申请实施例中,“示例的”一词用于表示作例子、例证或说明。本申请中被描述为“示例”的任何实施例或设计方案不应被解释为比其它实施例或设计方案更优选或更具优势。确切而言,使用示例的一词旨在以具体方式呈现概念。
本申请实施例中,“的(of)”,“相应的(corresponding,relevant)”和“对应的(corresponding)”有时可以混用,应当指出的是,在不强调其区别时,其所要表达的含义是一致的。
本申请实施例描述的网络架构以及业务场景是为了更加清楚的说明本申请实施例的技术方案,并不构成对于本申请实施例提供的技术方案的限定,本领域普通技术人员可知,随着网络架构的演变和新业务场景的出现,本申请实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题,同样适用。
本申请实施例既可以应用于时分双工(time division duplex,TDD)的场景,也可以适用于频分双工(frequency division duplex,FDD)的场景。
本申请实施例既可以应用在传统的典型网络中,也可以应用在未来的以UE为中心(UE-centric)的网络中。UE-centric网络引入无小区(Non-cell)的网络架构,即在某个特定的区域内部署大量小站,构成一个超级小区(Hyper cell),每个小站为Hyper cell的一个传输点(Transmission Point,TP)或TRP,并与一个集中控制器(controller)相连。当UE在Hyper cell内移动时,网络侧设备时时为UE选择新的sub-cluster(子簇)为其服务,从而避免真正的小区切换,实现UE业务的连续性。其中,网络侧设备包括无线网络设备。
本申请实施例中不同基站可以为具有不同的标识的基站,也可以为具有相同的标识的被部署在不同地理位置的基站。部分场景中,在基站被部署前,基站不知道其是否会涉及本申请实施例所应用的场景,基站,或基带芯片,可以在部署前支持本申请实施例所提供的方法。部分场景中,也可以通过部署后的升级或加载,来支持本申请实施例所提供的方法。可以理解的是,前述具有不同标识的基站可以为基站标识,也可以为小区标识或者其他标识。
本申请实施例中部分场景以无线通信网络中NR网络的场景为例进行说明,应当指出的是,本申请实施例中的方案还可以应用于其他无线通信网络中,相应的名称也可以用其他无线通信网络中的对应功能的名称进行替代。
为便于理解本申请实施例,首先以图1.1中示出的通信系统为例详细说明适用于本申请实施例的通信系统。图1.1示出了适用于本申请实施例的通信方法的通信系统的示意图。如图1.1所示,该通信系统100包括网络设备102和终端设备106,网络设备102可配置有多个天线,终端设备也可配置有多个天线。可选地,该通信系统还可包括网络设备104,网络设备104也可配置有多个天线。
应理解,网络设备102或网络设备104还可包括与信号发送和接收相关的多个部件(例如,处理器、调制器、复用器、解调器或解复用器等)。
其中,网络设备为具有无线收发功能的设备或可设置于该设备的芯片,该设备包括但不限于:演进型节点B(evolved Node B,eNB)、无线网络控制器(radio network controller,RNC)、节点B(Node B,NB)、基站控制器(base station controller,BSC)、 基站收发台(base transceiver station,BTS)、家庭基站(例如,home evolved NodeB,或home Node B,HNB)、基带单元(baseband unit,BBU),无线保真(wireless fidelity,WIFI)系统中的接入点(access point,AP)、无线中继节点、无线回传节点、传输点(transmission and reception point,TRP或者transmission point,TP)等,还可以为5G,如,NR,系统中的gNB,或,传输点(TRP或TP),5G系统中的基站的一个或一组(包括多个天线面板)天线面板,或者,还可以为构成gNB或传输点的网络节点,如基带单元(BBU),或,分布式单元(DU,distributed unit)等。
在一些部署中,gNB可以包括集中式单元(centralized unit,CU)和DU。gNB还可以包括射频单元(radio unit,RU)。多个DU可以由一个CU集中控制。CU实现gNB的部分功能,DU实现gNB的部分功能,CU和DU可以根据无线网络的协议层划分,例如分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层及以上协议层的功能设置在CU,PDCP以下的协议层,例如无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层和媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)层等的功能设置在DU。又例如,CU实现无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC),分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层的功能,DU实现无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)、媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)和物理(physical,PHY)层的功能。由于RRC层的信息最终会变成PHY层的信息,或者,由PHY层的信息转变而来,因而,在这种架构下,高层信令,如RRC层信令或PHCP层信令,也可以认为是由DU发送的,或者,由DU+RU发送的。可以理解的是,网络设备可以为CU节点、或DU节点、或包括CU节点和DU节点的设备。此外,CU可以划分为接入网RAN中的网络设备,也可以将CU划分为核心网CN中的网络设备,在此不做限制。
或者,CU可以划分为控制面(CU-CP)和用户面(CU-UP)。其中CU-CP负责控制面功能,主要包含RRC和PDCP-C。PDCP-C主要负责控制面数据的加解密,完整性保护,数据传输等中的一项或多项。CU-UP负责用户面功能,主要包含SDAP和PDCP-U。其中SDAP主要负责将核心网的数据进行处理并将flow映射到承载。PDCP-U主要负责数据面的加解密,完整性保护,头压缩,序列号维护,数据传输等中的一项或多项。其中CU-CP和CU-UP通过接口(例如E1接口)连接。CU-CP通过接口(例如Ng接口)和核心网连接,通过接口(例如F1-C(控制面接口))和DU连接。CU-UP通过接口(例如F1-U(用户面接口))和DU连接。
终端设备也可以称为用户设备(user equipment,UE)、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。本申请的实施例中的终端设备可以是手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑(Pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑、虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)终端设备、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)终端设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端、远程医疗(remote medical)中的无线终端、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端等等。本申请的实施例对应用场景不做限定。本申请中由终端设备实现的方法和步骤,也可以由可用于终端设备的部件(例如芯片或者电路)等实现。本申请中将前述终端设备及可设置于前述终端设备的部件(例如芯片或者电路)统称为终端设备。
在该通信系统100中,网络设备102和网络设备104均可以与多个终端设备(例如图中示出的终端设备106)通信。网络设备102和网络设备104可以与类似于终端设备106的任意数目的终端设备通信。但应理解,与网络设备102通信的终端设备和与网络设备104通信的终端设备可以是相同的,也可以是不同的。图1中示出的终端设备106可同时与网络设备102和网络设备104通信,但这仅示出了一种可能的场景,在某些场 景中,终端设备可能仅与网络设备102或网络设备104通信,本申请对此不做限定。
应理解,图1仅为便于理解而示例的简化示意图,该通信系统中还可以包括其他网络设备或者还可以包括其他终端设备,图1中未予以画出。
通信发展中提出了私网(也称为非公网)的概念,私网是相对于公网的一个概念,可以理解为私密的网络,例如公司、学校或者工厂搭建的内部网络。未与私网签约的终端设备可能不允许接入私网。本申请实施例中的公网为运营商部署的公共网络。一般来说,可以为和该运营商签约的终端设备提供服务的网络。确定支持公网的终端设备是否可以接入提供服务的公网,可以通过确定该终端设备是否为该公网支持的运营商的签约终端设备,如果是,终端设备可以驻留或接入该公网,否则,终端设备不可以驻留或接入该公网。
目前,私网的部署方式可以为如下中的一种或多种:
1、私网可以为配置私网专有的基站和/或核心网下的小区,支持该私网的终端设备可以在基站和/或核心网驻留和发起业务,3GPP协议一般称这种私网为独立(standalone,SA)NPN小区。
2、私网也可以为公网的一个切片(slice),即可以将公网中的一个切片配置为私网,所有终端设备都可以在该网络驻留,等终端设备进入连接态发起业务请求后,网络再根据业务对应的切片信息,即根据业务是否是私网业务,把终端设备的业务指定到对应的私网slice上。
3、私网还可以是运营商部署的一个小区。作为一种可能的实现方式,仅允许该私网下的终端设备的驻留或初始接入。3GPP协议一般称这种私网为封闭访问组(closed access group,CAG)小区,或者非独立(non-standalone,NSA)NPN小区。
可以理解的,方式2和3都是NSA NPN的部署方式。由于方式2和3都是运营商部署的,因此可以支持私网的基站和运营商基站间建立X2/Xn连接,和/或,私网的核心网和公网的核心网间建立连接,或者,私网的核心网和公网的核心网为同一核心网。即此时的私网和公网都是运营商部署的。网络规划时可能PN小区和CAG小区的跟踪区码(TAC,tracking area code)和/或无线接入网区域码(RANAC,RAN area code)是相同的。TAC和RANAC都可以标识一个小区所属的区域码,TAC一般是核心网级的区域码,TAC为运营商对跟踪区域(Tracking Area,TA)的编号。每一个Tracking Area都有编号,编号分为两种,一种是TAC,一种是跟踪区域标识(Tracking Area Identity,TAI)。其中TAI则是全球性的编号,由移动国家码(Mobile Country Code,MCC)+移动网码(Mobile Network Code,MNC)+TAC组成。当终端设备初次进行附着(attach)时,核心网设备会分配终端设备一组TAI List(TAI列表),即当进行寻呼时,会对TAI列表内的小区进行呼叫。TAI列表还可以用于追踪终端设备的位置,当终端设备离开TAI列表中的小区时,可以进行跟踪区域更新(Tracking Area Update,TAU),从而网络端(包括核心网设备和/或网络设备)和终端设备之间的TAI达到同步。核心网设备可以为空闲态(idle)的终端设备,非激活态(inactive)的终端设备,或,激活态(active)的终端设备分配TAI列表。无线接入网区域码(RANAC)是接入网(RAN)级的区域码。一般来说,RANAC对应的区域小于或等于TAC对应的区域。对于inactive终端设备,源接入网设备(也可称为源服务网络设备)可以为inactive态的终端设备分配一个无线接入网通知区域(RAN Notification Area,RNA),源接入网设备可以为存储有终端设备的上下文的接入网设备,和/或,源接入网设备可以为生成用于配置UE进入inactive的接入网设备。RNA对应的区域包括至少一个小区对应的区域。一般的,RNA对应的区域范围小于或等于TAI list对应的区域范围;可以理解的是,TAI list或RNA是一种逻辑概念。RNA的配置可以包括如下至少一种:1)小区列表,包括至少一个小区标识;2)RAN区域列表,包括至少一个TAC,或者,包括至少一个TAC和RANAC;
图1.2是TAC,RANAC,cell ID的一种可能的范围示意图。
在私网和公网共存的情况下,终端设备可以同时支持私网和公网,比如同时签约了公网和私网的终端设备,也可以仅支持公网,比如仅与公网签约的终端设备,或,仅支持私网,比如仅与私网签约的终端设备,比如工厂内的智能终端。
同时支持私网和公网的终端设备在私网和公网间移动时,当前技术中还不支持私网和公网之间跨网络对终端设备的寻呼,即,不同网络类型的网络之间跨网络对终端设备的寻呼。本申请实施例提供一种通信方法,装置,芯片,可存储介质和系统,以支持不同网络类型的网络之间跨网络对终端设备的寻呼。这里,不同网络类型的网络,可以是私网和公网,也可以是其他不同网络类型的网络。如图1.3所示,为终端设备在私网和公网之间移动的示意图。其中,PLMN AMF为公用陆地移动网(public land mobile network,PLMN)的移动管理功能(AMF,Access and Mobility Management Function),PLMN CAG gNB为公用陆地移动网的封闭访问组(closed access group,CAG)基站,PLMN gNB为公用陆地移动网的基站。NR Cell为新无线小区,CAG Cell为封闭访问组小区。
可以理解的,本申请实施例中,终端设备和/或网络设备可以执行本申请实施例中的部分或全部步骤,这些步骤或操作仅是示例,本申请实施例还可以执行其它操作或者各种操作的变形。此外,各个步骤可以按照本申请实施例呈现的不同的顺序来执行,并且有可能并非要执行本申请实施例中的全部操作。
本申请实施例提供一种通信方法,以支持不同网络类型的网络中跨网络的寻呼。在本申请中,上行可以指终端设备为发送端,网络设备为接收端,下行可以指网络设备为发送端,终端设备为接收端。本申请应用于发送端与接收端之间的通信时,上行可以指一个传输方向,下行可以指与上行相对的另一传输方向。
如前所述,核心网设备或接入网设备(接入网设备也称为网络设备)给终端设备配置移动有效区域。其中,移动有效区域可以包括前述的TAI list,和/或,RNA,和/或,其他区域配置信息,比如新定义的区域配置信息。在现有技术中,仅存在公网网络,因此所配置的移动有效区域并不区分网络类型,即,移动有效区域与网络类型无关,或者说,移动有效区域默认在公网网络有效。
本申请实施例第一方面给出了不同网络类型的网络中跨网络的寻呼的方案。
本申请实施例第二方面给出了移动有效区域与网络类型有关的情况下,进行移动有效区域的配置的方案。进一步的,还给出了在移动有效区域与网络类型有关的情况下,终端设备在位置移动情况下的行为。
以上第一方面和第二方面可以结合实施,也可以独立实施,在此不予限定。
第一方面,不同网络类型的网络中跨网络的寻呼
下面,先对不同网络类型的网络中跨网络的寻呼的方案进行描述。这种情况下,可以对寻呼过程进行改变,使得寻呼过程可以体现网络类型。可选的,可以不改变现有的移动有效区域的配置,即移动有效区域与网络类型无关,或者,移动有效区域与网络类型有关。
被寻呼的终端设备可能是idle终端设备,也可能是inactive终端设备。
本申请实施例所述的方案涉终端设备、接入网设备(也称为网络设备)和核心网设备。
如图2.1所示,为本申请实施例所提供的方案的流程示意图。该流程示意图中,终端设备以5G处于idle态的UE为例,接入网设备以5G gNB为例,核心网设备以5G接入移动管理功能(AMF,Access and Mobility Management Function),或者,AMF和会话管理功能(SMF,Session management function)为例。终端设备从第二网络类型的网络到第一网络类型的网络的移动以从公网移动到私网为例。可以理解的是,这些举例并不限定本申请实施例的应用场景。可以理解的,作为一种实现方式,本实施例的idle UE 可以指核心网设备认为UE处于idle态。比如,若UE在第一网络类型的状态为inactive或active,但在第二网络类型的UE状态为idle,当第二网络类型的下行业务达到核心网设备,也可以执行该实施例。
该方案201可以包括:
S2012、终端设备的下行业务到达核心网设备,核心网设备向该终端设备的TAI list对应的网络设备发送第一寻呼消息(也称为核心网寻呼(CN paging))。
可选的,核心网设备使用第一网络向该终端设备的TAI list对应的网络设备中的第一网络设备发送第一寻呼消息。
可选的,进一步的,核心网设备使用第二网络向该终端设备的TAI list对应的网络设备中的第二网络设备发送第一寻呼消息。
其中,第一网络的网络类型为第一网络类型,第二网络的网络类型为第二网络类型。
其中,第一网络类型为公网,第二网络类型为非公网;或者,第一网络类型为非公务,第二网络类型为公网。
S2013、第一网络设备向该终端设备发送第二寻呼消息。
可选的,终端设备当前驻留在第一网络,当前驻留的服务小区属于第一网络设备。可选的,第一网络设备使用第一网络向该终端设备发送第二寻呼消息,即,在第一网络向该终端设备发送第二寻呼消息。
可选的,第一寻呼消息可以包括第七信息,和/或,第二寻呼消息可以包括第一信息,以便网络设备基于第一寻呼消息包括的第七信息和/或终端设备基于第二寻呼消息包括的第一信息确定该寻呼消息所关联的网络,或者,该寻呼消息所关联的网络类型,比如,该寻呼消息是来自公网还是私网(即,是由公网提供服务还是由私网提供服务),或者,该寻呼消息是由公网业务还是私网业务触发的。
可以理解的是,网络和网络类型之间具有一对一,或,多对一的对应关系。由于一个网络具有相应的网络类型,因而确定该寻呼消息所关联的网络,即隐式的确定了该寻呼消息所关联的网络类型。由于一个网络类型针对第一网络设备和/或终端设备而言可以有其对应的一个或多个网络,因而确定了该寻呼消息所关联的网络类型,即隐式的确定了该寻呼消息所关联的一个或多个网络。进一步的,第一网络设备和/或终端设备可以基于其他信息和/或规则,确定该寻呼消息所关联的一个网络。比如,终端设备可以根据该终端设备所签约的第一网络和/或第二网络,以及该寻呼消息所关联的网络类型,确定该寻呼消息所关联的网络为一个网络或第二网络,比如该寻呼消息所关联的网络类型为第一网络类型,第一网络的网络类型为第一网络类型,则终端设备可以确定该寻呼消息所关联的网络为第一网络。再比如,第一网络设备可以根据该第一网络设备所支持的网络和其相应的网络类型,以及该寻呼消息所关联的网络类型,确定该寻呼消息所关联的网络。在本申请的描述中,部分以确定该寻呼消息所关联的网络类型为例进行描述,但“确定该寻呼消息所关联的网络类型”可替换为“确定该寻呼消息所关联的网络”。可选的,第一寻呼消息可以包括第七信息,和/或,第二寻呼消息的控制信息包括第一信息,以便第一网络设备基于第一寻呼消息包括的第七信息和/或终端设备基于第二寻呼消息的控制信息所包括的第一信息确认该寻呼消息所关联的网络,或者,该寻呼消息所关联的网络类型,比如,该寻呼消息是来自公网还是私网(即,是由公网提供服务还是由私网提供服务),或者,该寻呼消息是由公网业务还是私网业务触发的。
可选的,第一信息可以用于终端设备确认对应的寻呼消息所关联的网络或者网络类型和/或第七信息可以用于第一网络设备确认对应的寻呼消息所关联的网络或者网络类型。比如,该寻呼消息是来自公网或者私网(即,是由公网提供服务或者由私网提供服务),或者,该寻呼消息是由公网业务或者私网业务触发的。第一信息可以用于终端设备确定对应的寻呼消息所关联的网络可以包括第一信息可以用于终端设备确认对应的 寻呼消息所关联的网络类型的网络标识信息。第七信息可以用于第一网络设备确认对应的寻呼消息所关联的网络可以包括:第七信息可以用于第一网络设备确认对应的寻呼消息所关联的网络类型的网络标识信息。比如,该寻呼消息是来自公网或者是由公网业务触发的,第一信息可以为公网标识信息,比如PLMN ID,或者该寻呼消息来自私网或者是由私网业务触发的,第一信息可以为私网标识信息,比如NPN ID,CAG ID等。
可以理解的是,本申请中,第一寻呼消息和/或第二寻呼消息都是用于寻呼某一特定的终端设备的,比如第一终端设备。其中,一次寻呼中,寻呼消息可以用于寻呼一个或多个第一终端设备。第七信息和/或第一信息用于确定相应的寻呼消息所关联的网络或网络类型,也是针对一个或多个第一终端设备来描述的。具体的,可以针对寻呼消息中的每个第一终端设备设置第七信息和/或第一信息,或者,可以针对寻呼消息中的第一终端设备进行分组,比如基于被寻呼的第一终端设备的网络类型将第一终端设备分为两组,针对每组第一终端设备设置第七信息和/或第一信息。
可选的,第一信息和/或第七信息指示该寻呼消息所关联的网络或网络类型(即,第一信息和/或第七信息与该寻呼消息所关联的网络或网络类型有关)的方式可以为以下几种中的一种。第一信息和第七信息指示该寻呼消息所关联的网络或网络类型的方式可以相同,也可以不同。第一信息和/或第七信息指示该寻呼消息所关联的网络或网络类型可以包括以下项中的一种:第一信息指示第二寻呼消息所关联的网络,第一信息指示第二寻呼消息所关联的网络类型,第七信息指示第一寻呼消息所关联的网络,第七信息指示第一寻呼消息所关联的网络类型,第一信息指示第二寻呼消息所关联的网络且第七信息指示第一寻呼消息所关联的网络类型,第一信息指示第二寻呼消息所关联的网络且第七信息指示第一寻呼消息所关联的网络,第一信息指示第二寻呼消息所关联的网络类型且第七信息指示第一寻呼消息所关联的网络类型,或,第一信息指示第二寻呼消息所关联的网络类型且第七信息指示第一寻呼消息所关联的网络。通常而言,第一信息和第七信息所指示的寻呼消息所关联的网络类型是相同的,可选的,第七信息所指示的寻呼消息所关联的网络可以包括第一信息所指示的寻呼消息所关联的网络。
其中,作为一种可选的方式,该第一信息和/或第七信息可以包括指示信息,该指示信息用于指示该寻呼消息所关联的网络或网络类型,比如为第一网络或第二网络,第一网络为第一网络类型,第二网络为第二网络类型,比如第一网络类型为私网,第二网络类型为公网。可选的,该指示信息用于指示该寻呼消息所关联的网络或网络类型可以包括:该指示信息可以用于指示该寻呼消息所关联的网络的网络标识信息。网络类型的标识信息可以包括公网标识信息或者私网标识信息。可选的,第一寻呼消息和/或第二寻呼消息还可以包括终端设备的标识,该终端设备的标识可以与网络类型无关,即,被寻呼的终端设备由第一网络类型的网络服务时(即,在具有第一网络类型的第一网络中)的终端设备的标识(简称:第一网络类型的终端设备标识)和由第二网络类型的网络服务时(即,在具有第二网络类型的第二网络中)的终端设备的标识(简称:第二网络类型的终端设备标识)相同(即为同一个)。进一步可选的,该指示信息可以针对终端设备标识进行配置,比如,该指示信息作为终端设备标识的下一级配置信息。被寻呼的终端设备可以依据该指示信息确定该寻呼是来自第一网络类型的网络还是来自第二网络类型的网络。其中,终端设备的标识可以为特定的终端设备标识(UE ID),比如网络侧设备为该终端设备分配的终端设备标识,比如,用于该终端设备寻呼的标识,或者,终端设备的标识可以为其他的标识,在此不予限定。举例而言,该指示消息可以为包括一个或多个比特的字段,该字段与网络类型一一对应,当该字段取第一值时,指示该寻呼消息关联的网络类型为第一网络类型,取第二值时,指示该寻呼消息关联的网络类型为第二网络类型,或者,该字段与网络一一对应,当该字段为第一值时,指示该寻呼消息关联的网络为第一网络,取第二值时,指示该寻呼消息关联的网络为第二网络。进一步的,终 端设备可以依据第一网络和第二网络分别与网络类型的对应关系确定第一网络的网络类型和/或第二网络的网络类型。具体的,该字段与网络类型一一对应的情况下,由于在本申请实施例中网络类型包括第一网络类型和第二网络类型,则该字段可以包括一个比特,可以节省信令开销。该字段与网络一一对应的情况下,该字段可以为网络的网络标识,或者,可以为网络的索引。网络的索引与网络(比如网络标识)的对应关系可以基于标准协议预先设置在终端设备,网络设备,或核心网设备中的至少一项中,或者,通过在终端设备,网络设备,或核心网设备中的至少两个间的信令进行通知。通过该字段使终端设备获知该寻呼消息关联的一个网络,可以使终端设备在执行小区重选时,优先选择这个网络并接入该网络,可以提升通信的性能。
作为另一种可选的方式,该第一信息和/或第七信息可以包括第一网络类型的终端设备标识,和/或,第二网络类型的终端设备标识,即终端设备标识与网络类型有关。比如,终端设备的第一网络类型的终端设备标识和第二网络类型的终端设备标识不同。这种情况下,被寻呼的终端设备基于终端设备标识,就可以确定该寻呼是来自第一网络类型的网络还是来自第二网络类型的网络。
作为再一种可选的方式,第一寻呼消息可以包括在用于寻呼一个或多个终端设备的寻呼消息1中,该用于寻呼一个或多个终端设备的寻呼消息1可以包括第一寻呼列表和第二寻呼列表。第二寻呼消息可以包括在用于寻呼一个或多个终端设备的寻呼消息2中,该用于寻呼一个或多个终端设备的寻呼消息2可以包括第一寻呼列表和第二寻呼列表。其中,第一寻呼列表用于携带一个或多个终端设备的标识,第二寻呼列表用于携带一个或多个终端设备的标识。第一寻呼列表与第一网络(或第一网络类型)相关;第二寻呼列表与第二网络(或第二网络类型)相关。第一寻呼消息所包括的第七信息和/或第二寻呼消息所包括的第一信息为终端设备的标识所在的寻呼列表。也就是说,被寻呼的终端设备通过其终端设备标识属于第一终端设备标识集合还是第二终端设备标识集合来确定该寻呼是来自第一网络还是第二网络,或者,是来自第一网络类型的网络还是来自第二网络类型的网络。具体的,第一寻呼列表和第二寻呼列表可以通过各自在消息中的位置的不同,或是,显式的标识来区分,或是,其他方式来区分,在此不予限定。
可选的,第一网络设备发送第二寻呼消息,终端设备可以通过检测第二寻呼消息中的终端设备标识,来确定自身是否被寻呼。
S2014、终端设备向第一网络设备发送针对第二寻呼消息的寻呼响应消息。
以idle终端设备在公网收到TAI list,移动到私网为例。如果终端设备在私网,收到第二寻呼消息,终端设备根据第二寻呼消息或第二寻呼消息的控制信息中的第一信息确定该寻呼消息为公网业务触发的寻呼。那么,终端设备可以执行以下三种方式中的一种进行寻呼响应。可选的,终端设备可以通过来自私网的第二信息,确定寻呼响应的方式。该第二信息可以指示私网是否支持公网业务,或者该第二信息可以指示私网支持公网业务的方式,比如私网直接支持公网业务,或者,私网通过非3GPP互操作功能(Non-3GPP InterWorking Function,N3IWF)支持公网业务。其中,私网直接支持公网业务可以指:在私网中,公网业务通过私网传输到公网的数据网络(data network,DN)。私网通过N3IWF支持公网业务可以是指:通过私网传输公网业务时,公网业务通过私网的用户面传输到公网的N3IWF,由公网的N3IWF传输到公网的数据网络。或者,终端设备没有收到私网发送的任何指示信息,终端设备默认私网不支持公网业务,从而终端设备主动重选到公网。
方式一(Opt A):终端设备在该私网响应第二寻呼消息。
这种情况下,当前驻留的私网支持公网业务。可选的,终端设备可以根据来自私网的第二信息,确定该私网支持公网业务。和/或,该第二信息可以指示私网支持公网业务的方式,比如私网直接支持公网业务,或者,私网通过N3IWF支持公网业务。可选的, 第二信息可以携带在系统信息中。终端设备可以在该私网响应第二寻呼消息。可选的,寻呼响应消息可以包括指示信息,该指示信息可以指示该寻呼响应消息所关联的网络,该网络的网络类型为公网,或,可以指示该寻呼响应消息所关联的网络类型为公网。比如可以在消息5(msg5)中携带该指示信息。其中,msg5可以为无线资源控制建立完成消息(RRC setup complete),或者,无线资源控制恢复完成消息(RRC resume complete)。这样,第一网络设备可以根据被寻呼的终端设备的业务的网络类型确定处理该接入的业务传输的优先级,比如,合理保证私网业务的优先处理。
方式二(Opt B):终端设备可以发送通知信息给第一网络设备,该通知信息用于通知第一网络设备和/或核心网设备该终端设备收到了寻呼消息。
可选的,终端设备可以接收来自私网的第五信息,确定该私网不支持公网业务。可选的,第五信息可以携带在系统信息中。可选的,第五信息可以和第二信息通过同一个信元指示,也可以通过不同的信元指示。终端设备可以发送通知信息给第一网络设备,该通知信息用于通知第一网络设备该终端设备收到了寻呼消息,和/或,该通知信息用于通知第一网络设备该终端设备需要更换到公网的小区后再接入。相应的,第一网络设备也可以发送通知信息给核心网设备,使得核心网设备获知寻呼成功。终端设备可以执行小区重选到公网小区。当终端设备在私网收到来自公网的寻呼,终端设备触发小区重选。即该小区重选可以不考虑服务小区的信道质量低于门限值这一触发重选的条件,而以在私网收到来自公网的寻呼为触发条件。若终端设备成功重选到公网小区,终端设备可以在公网小区接入,并通过公网发送寻呼响应消息。进一步的,通过公网传输业务。
方式三(Opt C):终端设备直接重选到公网后再发送寻呼响应消息;
可选的,终端设备可以接收来自私网的第五信息,确定该私网不支持公网业务。可选的,第五信息可以携带在系统信息中。可选的,第五信息可以和第二信息通过同一个信元指示,也可以通过不同的信元指示。具体的,终端设备在私网收到来自公网的寻呼消息后,可以执行小区重选。具体的小区重选以及终端设备在公网小区接入和发送寻呼响应消息的流程可以参考Opt B中的描述。这种方式下,终端设备在私网小区不执行任何动作,比如不发送Opt B中的通知信息。
可以理解的是,以上方式一至方式三,可以基于协议约定,终端设备总是采用方式二或是总是采用方式三。这种情况下,终端设备无需获知一种网络类型的网络对另一网络类型的网络的业务的支持情况,也无需判断。可选的,也可以基于协议约定,由终端设备基于所获知的当前网络对另一网络类型的网络的业务的支持情况,确定采用方式一或是方式二,或者,采用方式一或是方式三。比如,终端设备确定当前网络支持另一网络类型的网络的业务的情况下,采用方式一。进一步的,终端设备确定当前网络不支持另一网络类型的网络的业务的情况下,采用方式二,或是,采用方式三。是采用方式二还是方式三,可以基于协议约定固定下来,也可以基于其他条件进行选择确定,比如基于第一网络设备的指示来确定是采用方式二还是方式三,可选的,该指示可以是显式指示,也可以是隐式指示,可选的,该指示可以携带在第二寻呼消息和/或第一寻呼消息中,也可以携带在其他消息中,本申请中不予限定。
可选的,方案201进一步还可以包括:
S2011、第二网络设备向终端设备发送配置信息,以指示终端设备进入idle态以及该终端设备处于idle态时的移动有效区域,比如TAI list。
可选的,第二网络设备在第二网络向终端设备发送配置信息。
可选的,第二网络设备向终端设备发送指示信息,该指示信息用于终端设备的该移动有效区域适用的网络或网络类型的确定。比如,该指示信息可以指示移动有效区域适用的网络为第一网络,或者,第二网络,或者,第一网络和第二网络,其中,第一网络具有第一网络类型,第二网络具有第二网络类型,或者,该指示信息可以指示移动有效 区域适用的网络类型为第一网络类型,或者,第二网络类型,或者,第一网络类型和第二网络类型。比如,终端设备若在第二网络类型的网络,比如公网,收到了上述移动有效区域,比如TAI list。终端设备接收来自公网的指示信息,终端设备根据该指示信息确定该TAI list适用公网网络和私网网络。当终端设备移动到具有和TAI list中的TAI相同的第一网络类型的网络,比如私网,的小区时,终端设备不发起跟踪区更新(TAU)流程。可选的,该指示信息可以包括在所述配置信息中。
可选的,移动有效区域可以默认仅适用于接收该移动有效区域的服务小区所使用的网络或网络类型。比如,终端设备若在第二网络类型的网络,比如公网,收到了上述移动有效区域,比如TAI list,终端设备认为该TAI list仅适用公网网络。当终端设备移动到具有和TAI list中的TAI相同的第一网络类型的网络,比如私网,的小区时,终端设备发起跟踪区更新(TAU)流程。
以上默认移动有效区域适用的网络或网络类型的方式,或者,通过指示信息指示移动有效区域所适用的网络或网络类型的方式,可以统称为移动有效区域与网络类型有关,具体的移动有效区域与网络类型有关的配置,以及终端设备的行为可以参考后续第二方面的描述,在此不予赘述。
可选的,在该流程中,移动有效区域与网络类型无关,或是,移动有效区域在不同网络类型均有效。因此终端设备若在第二网络类型的网络,比如公网,收到了上述移动有效区域,比如TAI list,移动到具有和TAI list中的TAI相同的第一网络类型的网络,比如私网,的小区时,终端设备不会发起跟踪区更新(TAU)流程。
可以理解的,上述实施例以网络架构包括接入网设备和核心网设备为例进行描述,上述实施例还可以扩展到仅包括接入网设备的网络架构,相应的,需要执行该实施例的变形流程,比如不执行网络设备和核心网设备间的交互流程,或者网络设备可以执行网络设备和核心网设备的功能。
可以理解的是,上述场景还可以适用于网络设备包括CU和DU时,CU向DU发送寻呼消息的流程。比如S2013中第二寻呼消息还包括与网络或网络类型相关的第一信息这一点,也可以适用于CU向DU发送的寻呼消息。比如,在CU向DU发送的寻呼消息中包括与网络或网络类型相关的第一信息。具体的上述实施例应用于网络设备包括CU和DU的场景,可以如图2.2所示。
以上如图2.1或2.2所示的流程以idle终端设备为例,可选的,以上描述的部分也可以适用于inactive终端设备。如图2.3所示,为本申请实施例应用于inactive终端设备时的流程示意图。
具体的,该方案203可以包括:
S2032、当终端设备的下行业务到达源服务网络设备(比如PN gNB3),源服务网络设备向该终端设备的RNA对应的网络设备(不包含该源服务网络设备)发送第一寻呼消息(也称无线接入网寻呼(RAN paging))。
RAN paging可以携带第一信息,以便终端设备基于第一信息确定该寻呼所关联的网络或网络类型。第一信息的具体方式和S2012中第一寻呼消息或S2013中第二寻呼消息所包括的第一信息的具体方式相同,在此不予赘述。
可选的,源服务网络设备可以向该终端设备的RNA对应的网络设备中的一个或多个第二网络设备,比如,PN gNB1,发送第一寻呼消息。其中,一个或多个第二网络设备为第二网络的小区所属的网络设备,第二网络具有第二网络类型。可选的,源服务网络设备为第二网络设备中的一个。但由于该第一寻呼消息为源服务网络设备发出,因而,接收第一寻呼消息的一个或多个第二网络设备不包括该源服务网络设备。但为了描述的简便,本申请实施例中也可以将源服务网络设备称为第二网络设备。
可选的,进一步的,源服务网络设备可以向该终端设备的RNA对应的网络设备中 的一个或多个第一网络设备,比如,NPN gNB2,发送第一寻呼消息。其中,一个或多个第一网络设备为第一网络的小区所属的网络设备,第一网络具有第一网络类型。也就是,源服务网络设备既在第一网络发送第一寻呼消息,也在第二网络发送第一寻呼消息。
S2033、终端设备的当前服务网络设备(比如NPN gNB2)收到来自所述源服务网络设备的无线接入网寻呼后,发送第二寻呼消息。
可选的,终端设备的当前服务网络设备(为前述一个或多个第一网络设备中的一个)使用第二网络发送第二寻呼消息。
S2034、终端设备向当前服务网络设备发送针对第二寻呼消息的寻呼响应消息。
可选的,终端设备使用第二网络向所述第一网络设备发送针对第二寻呼消息的寻呼响应消息。
S2033的具体方式与前述S2013的类似,可以参考S2013的描述;S2034的具体方式与前述S2014的类似,可以参考S2014的描述。S2033和/或S2034与S2013和/或S2014的不同在于,方案203中的当前服务网络设备发送的第二寻呼消息是由源服务网络设备发送的第一寻呼消息触发的。而方案201中的网络设备发送的第二寻呼消息是由核心网设备发送的第一寻呼消息触发的。因而,方案203中的S2034,若终端设备执行Opt B的寻呼响应方式,即终端设备向当前服务网络设备发送通知信息,当前服务网络设备会进一步通知源服务网络设备。一种可能的方式中,当前服务网络设备会进一步通知源服务网络设备可以包括:向源服务网络设备发起终端设备的上下文获取流程。可选的,当前服务网络设备获取到终端设备的上下文后,可以发起路径切换(path switch)通知核心网设备,从而,该终端设备的接入网和核心网的连接更新为当前服务网络设备和核心网设备之间的连接。如果当前服务网络设备未获取到终端设备的上下文,则该终端设备的接入网和核心网的连接仍然为源服务网络设备和核心网设备之间的连接。
进一步,可选的,该方案203还可以包括:
S2031、源服务网络设备向终端设备发送配置信息,以指示终端设备进入inactive,并指示该终端设备处于inactive态时的移动有效区域,比如RNA。
可选的,网络设备向终端设备发送指示信息,该指示信息用于终端设备确定该移动有效区域适用的网络或网络类型。
具体的,移动有效区域与具有相应网络类型的网络有关或网络类型有关的方案可以参考后续第二方面的描述,在此不予赘述。
相应的,本方案203中的描述也可以适用于网络设备包括CU和DU时CU向DU发送寻呼消息的流程,比如S2033中第二寻呼消息包括与网络或网络类型相关的第一信息这一点,也可以适用于CU向DU发送的寻呼消息,比如,在CU向DU发送的寻呼消息中包括与网络或网络类型相关的第一信息。具体的上述实施例应用于网络设备包括CU和DU的场景,可以如图2.4所示。
本申请实施例中的方案201-204中的每一个都可以支持不同网络类型的网络之间跨网络的寻呼。进一步的,方案201-204中的每一个都可以使得网络设备确定寻呼消息的触发原因,即寻呼消息所关联的网络或网络类型,从而可以合理调整寻呼消息的发送优先级,比如现有网络中一个paging消息中最多可以携带32个终端设备标识,如果一个公网网络设备收到多个终端设备的寻呼,在同一寻呼时机(paging occasion,PO)上的公网业务触发的寻呼可以有32个,即需要寻呼32个公网终端设备,私网业务触发的寻呼有3个,超出了一个PO上可以寻呼的终端设备的个数,则公网网络设备可以在该寻呼周期内的PO上优先寻呼公网终端设备,在下一个寻呼周期再寻呼私网终端设备。此外,方案201-204中的每一个还可以使得终端设备可以根据当前网络对另一网络类型的网络的业务的支持情况,确定更合理的寻呼响应的机制。
第二方面,移动有效区域与具有相应网络类型的网络或网络类型有关的情况下,移 动有效区域的配置
接下来,对移动有效区域与网络类型有关的情况下,移动有效区域的配置进行描述。这种情况下,可选的,也可以进一步对寻呼过程进行修改,使得寻呼过程可以与具有相应网络类型的网络或网络类型有关,支持不同网络类型的网络中跨网络的寻呼。具体的寻呼过程可以参考前述图2.1-2.4中所对应的描述。可选的,也可以不使寻呼过程支持不同网络类型的网络中跨网络的寻呼,这种情况下,由于移动有效区域与网络类型有关,可以使得网络设备和终端设备对寻呼的处理一致,避免未知的失败。
被寻呼的终端设备可能是idle终端设备,也可能是inactive终端设备。
下面先描述移动有效区域与网络或网络类型有关的情况下,移动有效区域的配置方案。可以理解的,对于仅支持公网服务的终端设备,由于无法在私网小区驻留,因此该类终端设备收到网络设备发送的移动有效区域后,默认该移动有效区域仅适用公网。对应的,仅支持私网服务的终端设备默认收到的移动有效区域仅适用私网。对于同时支持私网和公网服务的终端设备,其移动有效区域和网络类型的对应关系可以参考本申请实施例中的相关描述。
图3.1所示为被寻呼的终端设备为idle终端设备的情况。
该方案可以包括:
S3011,网络设备向终端设备发送配置信息,以指示终端设备进入idle态以及该终端设备处于idle态时的移动有效区域,比如TAI list。其中,该移动有效区域与网络或网络类型有关。
S3012,终端设备基于所述配置信息确定移动有效区域所关联(即所有效)的网络或网络类型。
图3.2所示为被寻呼的终端设备为inactive终端设备的情况。
S3021,源服务网络设备向终端设备发送配置信息,以指示终端设备进入inactive,并指示该终端设备处于inactive态时的移动有效区域,比如RNA。其中,该移动有效区域与网络或网络类型有关。
S3022,终端设备基于所述配置信息确定移动有效区域所关联(即所有效)的网络或网络类型。
如第一方面所述,网络和网络类型具有一对一或多对一的对应关系,因而,本申请实施例中,移动有效区域与网络有关和移动有效区域与网络类型有关虽然在描述上或是具体的终端设备的行为上有所不同,但都可以体现移动有效区域与网络类型有关。
具体的,S3011和S3021中的移动有效区域与网络或网络类型有关,可以为以下方式中的一种或多种,具体是通过哪种方式可以基于协议约定固定,也可以基于协议约定和实际情况进行确定,在此不予限定。
方式一,基于协议预定义,终端设备的移动有效区域仅适用终端设备收到该移动有效区域的网络或网络类型;比如,终端设备在第二网络类型的网络,比如公网,收到的移动有效区域仅适用第二网络类型的网络,终端设备在第一网络类型的网络,比如私网,收到的移动有效区域仅适用第一网络类型的网络。
方式二,在配置信息中包括第六信息,以便终端设备可以根据该第六信息确定当前配置的移动有效区域所有效的网络类型,比如,仅在第一网络类型的网络有效,或者仅在第二网络类型的网络有效,或者在第一网络类型的网络和第二网络类型的网络都有效。其中第一网络类型的网络或第二网络类型的网络为该终端设备接收该配置信息的当前网络类型的网络。举例而言,当配置信息中包括第六信息时,表示当前配置的移动有效区域在第一网络类型的网络和第二网络类型的网络均有效;当配置信息中不包括第六信息时,表示当前配置的移动有效区域仅在当前网络类型的网络有效;或者,当配置信息中不包括第六信息时,表示当前配置的移动有效区域在第一网络类型的网络和第二网 络类型的网络均有效;当配置信息中包括第六信息时,表示当前配置的移动有效区域仅在当前网络类型的网络有效。再比如,第六信息有不同的取值,第六信息为第一值时,表示当前配置的移动有效区域在第一网络类型的网络和第二网络类型的网络均有效,第六信息为第二值时,表示当前配置的移动有效区域仅在当前网络类型的网络有效。
在移动有效区域与具有相应网络类型的网络或网络类型有关的情况为当前配置的移动有效区域仅在当前网络类型的网络有效时,比如上述方式一中的默认当前配置的移动有效区域仅在当前网络类型的网络有效,或是,方式二中的根据配置信息确定当前配置的移动有效区域仅在当前网络类型的网络有效,以当前配置的移动有效区域为第二网络类型的网络为例,终端设备可以根据当前服务小区的TAC,RANAC,或,小区的网络类型信息,或,小区的网络标识信息中的一项或多项的组合确定是否需要发起TAU/RNAU。举例而言,终端设备在源小区收到了移动有效区域,源小区为第二网络类型对应的小区,终端设备根据方式一或方式二确定该移动有效区域仅适用第二网络类型下的小区。若终端设备移动到当前服务小区(比如重选到了当前服务小区(也称为目标小区)),终端设备根据当前服务小区的网络标识信息确定当前服务小区的网络类型是第一网络类型,即使当前服务小区的TAC和/或RANAC包含在配置给该终端设备的移动有效区域中,终端设备仍会发起TAU和/或RNAU流程。即,终端设备确定移动到了所配置的移动有效区域之外,终端设备发起位置更新流程,比如TAU和/或RNAU流程,以通知网络侧其所在的新小区(即当前服务小区)。可选的,位置更新流程具体为TAU流程还是RNAU流程,以TAI list所关联的网络或网络类型和/或RNA所关联的网络或网络类型以及移动后终端设备的当前服务小区的TAC和/或RANAC是否包含在配置的移动有效区域内来确定。比如,移动后终端设备的当前服务小区的TAC和/或RANAC不包括在配置的移动有效区域内了,可以不考虑TAI list和/或RNA所关联的网络或网络类型,发起位置更新流程,即和现有的位置更新流程发起过程类似。再比如,移动后TAC仍在配置的移动有效区域内,考虑TAI list所关联的网络或网络类型,若TAI list所关联的网络或网络类型仅在配置TAI list时的小区对应的网络或网络类型有效,但终端设备的当前服务小区的网络或网络类型不包括在TAI list所关联的网络或网络类型内,则终端设备发起TAU流程。类似的,移动后终端设备的当前服务小区的RANAC仍在配置中的移动有效区域内,考虑RNA所关联的网络或网络类型,若RNA所关联的网络或网络类型仅在配置RNA时的小区对应的网络或网络类型有效,但终端设备的当前服务小区的网络或网络类型不包括在RNA所关联的网络或网络类型内,则终端设备发起RNAU流程。具体的,TAU流程可以通过现有技术中的方式或者其他方式进行,比如通过无线资源控制(连接)建立完成(RRC(connection)setup complete)消息,或者上行信息转发(UL Information Transfer)消息,或者,无线资源控制(连接)恢复请求(RRC(connection)resume request),或者,无线资源控制(连接)恢复完成(RRC(connection)resume complete)消息中的一个或多个实现,具体采用哪条消息可以根据当前流程或系统实现确定。RNAU可以通过现有技术中的方式或者其他方式进行,比如通过RRC resume request实现。对于idle终端设备,网络设备收到上述消息后,可以向核心网设备发送通知消息,用于通知核心网终端设备的当前服务小区。对于inactive终端设备,网络设备收到上述消息后,可以向核心网设备或源服务网络设备发送通知消息,用于通知核心网设备或源服务网络设备该终端设备的当前服务小区。
在移动有效区域与网络类型有关的情况为当前配置的移动有效区域在配置移动有效区域的小区对应的网络类型的网络和另一网络类型的网络均有效时,比如方式二中的根据配置信息确定当前配置的移动有效区域在配置移动有效区域的小区对应的网络或网络类型的网络和另一网络类型的网络均有效。以配置当前移动有效区域的小区对应的网络类型的网络为第二网络类型的网络,另一网络类型的网络为第一网络类型的网络为 例,终端设备从第二网络类型的网络移动到了第一网络类型的网络的小区下,如果第一网络类型的网络的小区的TAC和/或RANAC包括在配置的移动有效区域内,则终端设备可以不发起位置更新流程。如果第一网络类型的网络的小区的TAC和/或RANAC不在配置的移动有效区域内,则可以发起相应的TAU和/或RNAU流程。具体的TAU和/或RNAU流程,可以和现有技术类似,在此不予赘述。
进一步的,接下来描述移动有效区域与网络或网络类型有关的情况下的寻呼过程。这种情况下的寻呼过程如前所提,可以包括如下AB两种方案之一,具体采用哪种方案,可以基于协议约定,固定使用其中一种,或是,可以基于协议约定和实际情况,确定使用其中一种。
A,寻呼过程不支持不同网络类型的网络之间的跨网络寻呼
被寻呼的终端设备为idle终端设备的情况,核心网设备知悉终端设备当前的移动有效区域,当该终端设备的业务到达核心网设备时,核心网设备可以确定该业务所关联的网络或网络类型是否包括在终端设备当前的移动有效区域所支持的网络或网络类型内,如果不包括在内,则核心网设备可以丢弃该业务。和/或,如果包括在内,则核心网设备继续业务的传输。比如,核心网设备确定终端设备的业务为公网业务,而终端设备当前的移动有效区域所支持的网络或网络类型为私网,则核心网设备可以丢弃该公网业务。和/或,核心网设备确定终端设备的业务为公网业务,而终端设备当前的移动有效区域所支持的网络或网络类型为公网,或者,公网和私网,则核心网设备可以继续寻呼该终端设备。其中,本申请中的终端设备当前的移动有效区域是指终端设备所使用的最新的移动有效区域,比如终端设备从公网的小区移动到了私网的小区,在公网收到的移动有效区域不适用于私网的小区,则终端设备会发起位置更新流程,告知网络侧其当前的服务小区。网络侧获知该终端设备当前的服务小区后,可以基于该服务小区更新该终端设备的移动有效区域,并告知该终端设备更新后的移动有效区域,比如,通过位置更新流程中的无线资源控制释放(RRC release)消息告知该终端设备更新后的移动有效区域,或是,通过下行信息转移(DL information transfer)消息告知。
被寻呼的终端设备为inactive终端设备的情况,源服务网络设备知悉终端设备当前的移动有效区域,当该终端设备的业务到达源服务网络设备时,源服务网络设备可以确定该业务所关联的网络或网络类型是否包括在终端设备当前的移动有效区域所支持的网络或网络类型内,如果不包括在内,则源服务网络设备可以丢弃该业务。进一步的,如果包括在内,则源服务网络设备继续业务的传输。比如,源服务网络设备确定终端设备的业务为公网业务,而终端设备当前的移动有效区域所支持的网络或网络类型为私网,则源服务设备可以丢弃该公网业务。和/或,服务网络设备确定终端设备的业务为公网业务,而终端设备当前的移动有效区域所支持的网络或网络类型为公网,或者,公网和私网,则源服务网络设备可以继续寻呼该终端设备。
具体的,核心网设备或源服务网络设备都可以基于终端设备的移动有效区域所关联的网络或网络类型和终端设备的业务所关联的网络或网络类型,确定是否触发寻呼流程。具体的,核心网设备可以基于TAI list所关联的网络或网络类型来确定,和/或,源服务网络设备可以基于RNA所关联的网络或网络类型来确定。
B,寻呼过程支持不同网络类型的网络之间的跨网络寻呼
被寻呼的终端设备为idle终端设备的情况,当该终端设备的业务到达核心网设备时,核心网设备,网络设备和终端设备可以继续执行后续的寻呼过程,该寻呼过程可以与S2012-S2014相同,在此不予赘述。
被寻呼的终端设备为inactive终端设备的情况,当该终端设备的业务到达源服务网络设备时,源服务网络设备,网络设备和终端设备可以继续执行后续的寻呼过程,该寻呼过程可以与S2032-S2034相同,在此不予赘述。
移动有效区域与网络或网络类型有关的方案,可以指示给终端设备该终端设备的移动有效区域,使得终端设备移出移动有效区域后,可以及时通知网络其最新的服务小区,使得网络基于最新的服务小区确定该终端设备的移动有效区域,进而网络可以基于终端设备的最新的移动有效区域选择合理的数据发送机制,比如丢弃该业务,不发起相应寻呼,或是,继续寻呼;或者,执行不同网络类型的网络中跨网络的寻呼,或是,执行相同网络类型的网络中的寻呼。
