Abstract

A paging method includes: determining a paging position of the first terminal and the second terminal based on a paging terminal identifier, where the paging terminal identifier is determined based on the first terminal and/or the second terminal; and sending a paging message at the paging position, where the paging message carries a terminal identifier of the first terminal and/or a terminal identifier of the second terminal.

Claims (69)

1. A paging method, performed by a network side device, used to page a first terminal, and comprising:

determining a paging position of the first terminal and a second terminal based on a paging terminal identifier, wherein the paging terminal identifier is a terminal identifier of the second terminal; and

sending, to the first terminal, a paging message at the paging position, wherein the paging message carries the terminal identifier of the second terminal; wherein

the paging position comprises at least one of: a paging frame; a paging occasion; or a frequency-domain position.

2. The paging method according to claim 1 , wherein

the first terminal resides in a cellular network, or communicates with a cellular network device, or is in an inactive state in a cellular network; and

the first terminal and the second terminal communicate with each other through a non-cellular network.

3. The paging method according to claim 1 , wherein there is a binding relationship between the first terminal and the second terminal, and the method further comprises:

obtaining the binding relationship between the first terminal and the second terminal from a core network entity.

4. The paging method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

assigning a same terminal identifier or similar terminal identifiers to the first terminal and the second terminal.

5. The paging method according to claim 1 , wherein before the sending a paging message, the method further comprises: obtaining at least one of:

paging information of the first terminal; or

paging information of the second terminal.

6. The paging method according to claim 5 , wherein the paging information of the first terminal or the paging information of the second terminal comprises at least one of:

the terminal identifier of the first terminal;

application layer configuration information of the first terminal;

access stratum configuration information of the first terminal;

the terminal identifier of the second terminal;

application layer configuration information of the second terminal; or

access stratum configuration information of the second terminal; wherein

the application layer configuration information comprises an internet protocol (IP) layer identifier; and

the access stratum configuration information comprises an access network side identifier.

7. The paging method according to claim 5 , wherein the paging information is obtained through at least one of:

receiving the paging information of the first terminal and/or the paging information of the second terminal reported by the first terminal;

receiving the paging information of the first terminal and/or the paging information of the second terminal reported by the second terminal; or

obtaining the paging information of the first terminal and/or the paging information of the second terminal from a core network entity.

8. A paging method, performed by a first terminal, wherein in a case where the first terminal resides in a cellular network, communicates with a cellular network device, or is in an inactive state in a cellular network, the method comprises:

receiving, by the first terminal, a first paging message sent by a network side device, wherein the first paging message carries a terminal identifier of a second terminal, a paging position of the first paging message is determined based on a paging terminal identifier, and the paging terminal identifier is the terminal identifier of the second terminal; wherein the paging position comprises at least one of: a paging frame; a paging occasion; or a frequency-domain position;

wherein in a case where the first terminal and the second terminal communicate with each other through a non-cellular network, the method further includes:

sending, by the first terminal, the first paging message to the second terminal through the non-cellular network.

9. The paging method according to claim 8 , wherein there is a binding relationship between the first terminal and the second terminal.

10. The paging method according to claim 9 , wherein a paging terminal identifier used by the first terminal to determine the paging position is same as a paging terminal identifier used by the second terminal to determine the paging position.

11. The paging method according to claim 8 , wherein before the receiving, by the first terminal, a paging message sent by a network side device, the method further comprises:

sending, by the first terminal, paging information of the first terminal and/or paging information of the second terminal to the network side device.

12. The paging method according to claim 11 , further comprising:

sending, by the second terminal, the paging information of the first terminal and/or the paging information of the second terminal to the network side device.

13. The paging method according to claim 12 , wherein before the sending, by the first terminal, the paging information of the second terminal to the network side device, the method further comprises:

obtaining, by the first terminal, the paging information of the second terminal.

14. A network side device, used to page a first terminal, wherein the network side device comprises a processor, a memory, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, and the computer program, when executed by the processor, causes the network side device to perform:

determining a paging position of the first terminal and a second terminal based on a paging terminal identifier, wherein the paging terminal identifier is a terminal identifier of the second terminal; and

sending, to the first terminal, a paging message at the paging position, wherein the paging message carries the terminal identifier of the second terminal; wherein

the paging position comprises at least one of: a paging frame; a paging occasion; or a frequency-domain position.

15. The paging method according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal identifier comprises some or all bits of at least one of following:

an international mobile equipment identity (IMEI);

an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI);

a temporary mobile subscriber identity (S-TMSI); or

a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI).

16. The paging method according to claim 11 , wherein the paging information of the first terminal or the paging information of the second terminal comprises at least one of:

the terminal identifier of the first terminal;

application layer configuration information of the first terminal;

access stratum configuration information of the first terminal;

the terminal identifier of the second terminal;

application layer configuration information of the second terminal; or

access stratum configuration information of the second terminal; wherein

the application layer configuration information comprises an internet protocol (IP) layer identifier; and

the access stratum configuration information comprises an access network side identifier.

17. The paging method according to claim 8 , wherein the terminal identifier comprises some or all bits of at least one of following:

an international mobile equipment identity (IMEI);

an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI);

a temporary mobile subscriber identity (S-TMSI); or

a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI).

18. The network side device according to claim 14 , wherein there is a binding relationship between the first terminal and the second terminal, and the computer program, when executed by the processor, causes the network side device to further perform:

obtaining the binding relationship between the first terminal and the second terminal from a core network entity.

19. The network side device according to claim 14 , wherein the computer program, when executed by the processor, causes the network side device to further perform:

assigning a same terminal identifier or similar terminal identifiers to the first terminal and the second terminal.

20. The network side device according to claim 14 , wherein the computer program, when executed by the processor, causes the network side device to further perform: obtaining at least one of:

paging information of the first terminal; or

paging information of the second terminal.
