Abstract

A message notification method, a terminal, and a network device are provided. The message notification method includes: determining whether a first condition is met; and sending a notification message to a first network when the first condition is met, or skipping sending a notification message to a first network when the first condition is not met. The first condition includes any one of the following: a notification message reporting condition; and a first timer expires or is not running, where the first timer is used to prohibit a terminal from sending the notification message.

Claims (83)

1 . A message notification method, performed by a terminal and comprising:

determining whether a first condition is met; and

sending a notification message to a first network when the first condition is met; or

skipping sending a notification message to a first network when the first condition is not met; wherein

the terminal is a multi-SIM terminal;

the first condition comprises:

a first timer expires or is not running, wherein the first timer is used to prohibit the terminal from sending the notification message;

wherein the first timer is started or restarted when the terminal sends the notification message to the first network;

wherein the notification message is used to notify the first network that the terminal will stop receiving scheduling or monitoring a paging message on the first network, or the notification message is used to require allocation of a time division multiplexing (TDM) mode.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the notification message comprises at least one of a leaving message or a return message.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first condition further comprises: a notification message reporting condition;

wherein the notification message reporting condition comprises any one of the following:

a service type of paging received by the terminal from a second network is a preset service type;

a service type triggered by the terminal on a second network is a preset service type;

the terminal receives paging from a second network;

the terminal initiates a service on a second network;

the terminal ends a service conforming to a preset service type on a second network; or

the terminal ends a service on a second network.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the preset service type comprises any one of the following:

voice, short message, radio resource control (RRC) signaling, or non-access stratum (NAS) signaling.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first condition further comprises: a notification message reporting condition;

wherein the notification message reporting condition is determined by the terminal based on at least one of the following:

a network configuration;

a specified rule in a protocol; or

a status of the terminal itself.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the network configuration is sent to the terminal by using any one of the following:

broadcast system information or dedicated signaling.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein a running duration threshold of the first timer is specified in a protocol; or

a running duration threshold of the first timer is configured for the terminal by using dedicated signaling or broadcast system information.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein a stop condition of the first timer comprises any one of the following:

running duration of the first timer reaches a preset threshold; or

a new timer parameter value is reconfigured for the first timer.

9 . A message notification method, performed by a network device and comprising:

receiving a notification message specific to a first network from a terminal, wherein

the terminal is a multi-SIM terminal;

the notification message is sent by the terminal when a first condition is met, and the first condition comprises:

a first timer expires or is not running, wherein the first timer is used to prohibit the terminal from sending the notification message;

wherein the first timer is started or restarted when the terminal sends the notification message to the first network;

wherein the notification message is used to notify the first network that the terminal will stop receiving scheduling or monitoring a paging message on the first network, or the notification message is used to require allocation of a time division multiplexing (TDM) mode.

10 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein

the notification message comprises at least one of a leaving message or a return message.

11 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the first condition further comprises: a notification message reporting condition;

wherein the notification message reporting condition comprises any one of the following:

a service type of paging received by the terminal from a second network is a preset service type;

a service type triggered by the terminal on a second network is a preset service type;

the terminal receives paging from a second network;

the terminal initiates a service on a second network;

the terminal ends a service conforming to a preset service type on a second network; or

the terminal ends a service on a second network.

12 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the first condition further comprises: a notification message reporting condition;

wherein the notification message reporting condition is determined by the terminal based on at least one of the following:

a network configuration;

a specified rule in a protocol; or

a status of the terminal itself.

13 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein a running duration threshold of the first timer is specified in a protocol; or

a running duration threshold of the first timer is configured by the network device for the terminal by using dedicated signaling or broadcast system information.

14 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein after the receiving a notification message specific to a first network from a terminal, the method further comprises:

determining, according to content indicated by the notification message, whether to schedule or page the terminal through the first network.

15 . A network device, comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and capable of running on the processor, wherein when the computer program is executed by the processor, the steps of the message notification method according to claim 10 are implemented.

16 . A terminal, comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and capable of running on the processor, wherein when the computer program is executed by the processor, the following steps are implemented:

determining whether a first condition is met; and

sending a notification message to a first network when the first condition is met; or

skipping sending a notification message to a first network when the first condition is not met; wherein

the terminal is a multi-SIM terminal;

the first condition comprises:

a first timer expires or is not running, wherein the first timer is used to prohibit the terminal from sending the notification message;

wherein the first timer is started or restarted when the terminal sends the notification message to the first network;

wherein the notification message is used to notify the first network that the terminal will stop receiving scheduling or monitoring a paging message on the first network, or the notification message is used to require allocation of a time division multiplexing (TDM) mode.

17 . The terminal according to claim 16 , wherein the first condition further comprises: a notification message reporting condition;

wherein the notification message reporting condition comprises any one of the following:

a service type of paging received by the terminal from a second network is a preset service type;

a service type triggered by the terminal on a second network is a preset service type;

the terminal receives paging from a second network;

the terminal initiates a service on a second network;

the terminal ends a service conforming to a preset service type on a second network; or

the terminal ends a service on a second network.

18 . The terminal according to claim 16 , wherein a running duration threshold of the first timer is specified in a protocol; or

a running duration threshold of the first timer is configured for the terminal by using dedicated signaling or broadcast system information.

19 . The terminal according to claim 16 , wherein the first condition further comprises: a notification message reporting condition;

wherein the notification message reporting condition is determined by the terminal based on at least one of the following:

a network configuration;

a specified rule in a protocol; or

a status of the terminal itself.
