Abstract

The present disclosure relates to paging methods and apparatus. One example method is applied to a first access network device. The first access network device belongs to a first network, a second access network device belongs to a second network, and the first network may be different from the second network. When UE accesses the first network and downlink data of the second network arrives, the UE may receive the data of the second network. The first access network device receives downlink data of a terminal from a first core network device, where the first core network device belongs to the first network.

Claims (36)

1. A communication method comprising:

receiving, by a user equipment (UE), system information broadcast by a cell of a radio access network device, wherein the system information comprises a human readable network name (HRNN) of a stand-alone non-public networks (SNPN) network, or a HRNN of a public network integrated non-public networks (PNI-NPN) network, and wherein an order of HRNNs in the system information is the same as an order of public land mobile network identifiers (PLMN IDs) and network identifiers (NIDs) in a system information block 1 (SIB1) or the order of the HRNNs in the system information is the same as the order of PLMN IDs and closed access group identifiers (CAG IDs) in the SIB1; and

obtaining, by the UE from the system information, information of a network to which the cell supports access.

2. The communication method of claim 1 , wherein in a case that a network identified by a PLMN ID and an NID/CAG ID is not configured with a corresponding HRNN, a corresponding entry is absent.

3. The communication method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

reporting, by the UE to the radio access network device, network identification information of a network that the UE selects to access.

4. The communication method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

sending, by the UE to the radio access network device, a radio resource control (RRC) setup complete message, wherein the RRC setup complete message comprises network identification information of a network selected by the UE to access.

5. The communication method of claim 4 , wherein the network identification information of the network selected by the UE to access comprises a PLMN ID and an NID.

6. The communication method of claim 1 , wherein the system information is a newly defined System Information Block (SIB); or

wherein the system information is a dedicated SIB which is different from the SIB1.

7. A communication apparatus for a user equipment (UE), comprising:

at least one processor; and

a non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform operations including:

receiving system information broadcast by a cell of a radio access network device, wherein the system information comprises a human readable network name (HRNN) of a stand-alone non-public networks (SNPN) network, or a HRNN of a public network integrated non-public networks (PNI-NPN) network, and wherein an order of HRNNs in the system information is the same as an order of public land mobile network identifiers (PLMN IDs) and network identifiers (NIDs) in a system information block 1 (SIB1) or the order of the HRNNs in the system information is the same as the order of PLMN IDs and closed access group identifiers (CAG IDs) in the SIB1; and

obtaining, from the system information, information of a network to which the cell supports access.

8. The communication apparatus of claim 7 , wherein in a case that a network identified by a PLMN ID and an NID/CAG ID is not configured with a corresponding HRNN, a corresponding entry is absent.

9. The communication apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise:

reporting to the radio access network device network identification information of a network that the UE selects to access.

10. The communication apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise:

sending to the radio access network device a radio resource control (RRC) setup complete message, wherein the RRC setup complete message comprises network identification information of a network selected by the UE to access.

11. The communication apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the network identification information of the network selected by the UE to access comprises a PLMN ID and an NID.

12. The communication apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the system information is a newly defined System Information Block (SIB); or

wherein the system information is a dedicated SIB which is different from the SIB1.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer-readable storage medium stores a computer-readable instruction which, when run on a communication apparatus for a user equipment (UE), cause the communication apparatus to perform operations comprising:

receiving system information broadcast by a cell of a radio access network device, wherein the system information comprises a human readable network name (HRNN) of a stand-alone non-public networks (SNPN) network, or a HRNN of a public network integrated non-public networks (PNI-NPN) network, and wherein an order of HRNNs in the system information is the same as an order of public land mobile network identifiers (PLMN IDs) and network identifiers (NIDs) in a system information block 1 (SIB1) or the order of the HRNNs in the system information is the same as the order of PLMN IDs and closed access group identifiers (CAG IDs) in the SIB1; and

obtaining, from the system information, information of a network to which the cell supports access.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein in a case that a network identified by a PLMN ID and an NID/CAG ID is not configured with a corresponding HRNN, a corresponding entry is absent.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the operations further comprise:

reporting, to the radio access network device, network identification information of a network that the UE selects to access.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the operations further comprise:

sending, to the radio access network device, a radio resource control (RRC) setup complete message, wherein the RRC setup complete message comprises network identification information of a network selected by the UE to access.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the network identification information of the network selected by the UE to access comprises a PLMN ID and an NID.

18. The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the system information does not comprise PLMN IDs and NIDs, or PLMN IDs and CAG IDs.

19. The communication apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the system information does not comprise PLMN IDs and NIDs, or PLMN IDs and CAG IDs.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the system information does not comprise PLMN IDs and NIDs, or PLMN IDs and CAG IDs.
