Method, apparatus and system for paging processing and information displaying
A method, an apparatus, and a system for paging processing and information displaying are disclosed. The paging processing method includes: receiving a paging request message from a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) which a called User Equipment (UE) registers to; and when the called UE is connected, sending a paging notification message to the called UE, and returning a called-UE paging status message to the MSC. In the embodiments of the present invention, after the Mobility Management Entity (MME) receives the paging request message from the MSC, if the called UE is connected, the MME not only sends a Circuit-Switched (CS) paging notification message to the called UE, but also returns a paging status message to the MSC, indicating that the called UE has received the paging notification message.
1. A paging processing method, comprising:
receiving, by a Mobility Management Entity (MME), a paging request message sent by a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) server for a called User Equipment (UE) registered to the MSC server;
sending, by the MME, a paging notification message to the called UE when the called UE is connected to the MME;
indicating, by the MME, a status of communication between the called UE and the MME to the MSC server before the MME receives a service request from the called UE; and
receiving, by the MME, the service request message from the called UE.
2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
extending, by the MSC server, time of waiting for the called UE to return a paging response message after the MSC server receives the status of communication between the called UE and the MME.
3. A mobility management apparatus, comprising:
a receiver, configured to receive a paging request message sent by a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) server for a called User Equipment (UE) registered to the MSC server, and to receive a service request message from the called UE; and
a transmitter, configured to send a paging notification message to the called UE when the called UE is connected to the MME, and indicate a status of communication between the called UE and the mobility management apparatus to the MSC server before receiving the service request from the called UE.
4. A paging processing system, comprising:
a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) server for a called User Equipment (UE) registered to the MSC server, configured to send a paging request message to a mobility management apparatus, to receive a status of communication between the called UE and the mobility management apparatus by the mobility management apparatus; and
the mobility management apparatus, configured to receive the paging request message sent by the MSC server, to send a paging notification message to the called UE when the called UE is connected to the mobility management apparatus, to indicate the status of communication between the called UE and the mobility management apparatus to the MSC before receiving a service request from the called UE, and to receive the service request message from the called UE.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the receiving a service request message from the called UE, the method further comprises:
initiating, by the MME, a CS fallback procedure.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein sending the paging notification message to the called UE comprises sending, by the MME, a CS paging notification message to the called UE through a Non Access Stratum (NAS) message.
7. The method according to claim 1 wherein the indicating includes returning, by the MME to the MSC server, a called UE paging status message.
8. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the transmitter is further configured to initiate a CS fallback procedure after the receiver receives the service request message from the called UE.
9. The system according to claim 4 , wherein the MSC is further configured to return an alerting message to a calling party immediately after receiving the status of communication between the called UE and the mobility management apparatus.
10. The system according to claim 4 , wherein the mobility management apparatus is further configured to initiate a CS fallback procedure after receiving the service request message from the called UE.
