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 non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising computer program code, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
receive a paging request message from a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) server, wherein a called User Equipment (UE) has registered to the MSC server;
determine, according to a status recorded in a context of the called UE, whether the called UE is connected to a mobility management entity (MME);
send a paging notification message to the called UE in response to determining that the called UE is connected to the MME; and
send, to the MSC server, a message indicating a status of communication between the called UE and the MME, in response to determining that the called UE is connected to the MME, and without waiting for a service request message from the called UE.
2. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the computer program code, when executed by the processor, further causes the processor to:
initiate a circuit-switched (CS) fallback procedure.
3. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein sending the paging notification message to the called UE comprises:
sending a circuit switched (CS) paging notification message to the called UE through a Non Access Stratum (NAS) message.
4. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the message indicating the status of communication between the called UE and the MME is a called UE paging status message.
5. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the computer program code, when executed by the processor, further causes the processor to:
receive the service request message from the called UE.
6. A non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising computer program code, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
send a paging request message to a Mobility Management Entity (MME);
receive, from the MME, a message indicating a status of communication between a called user equipment (UE) and the MME, wherein the message indicating the status of communication between the called UE and the MME is sent by the MME in response to a determination by the MME that the called UE is connected to the MME, and without the MME waiting for a service request message from the called UE; and
return an alerting message to a mobile switching center (MSC) server to which a calling UE has registered, without waiting for a response from the called UE, after receiving the message indicating the status of communication between the called UE and the MME returned by the MME.
7. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 6 , wherein returning the alerting message to the MSC server comprises:
returning the alerting message to the MSC server to which the calling UE has registered immediately after receiving the message indicating the status of communication between the called UE and the MME returned by the MME.
8. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the message indicating the status of communication between the called UE and the MME is a called UE paging status message.
