Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and provides an information processing method, an information processing device, a computer-readable storage medium and an electronic device, so as to reduce signaling overhead. The information processing method includes: receiving a registration update request from a UE; determining whether the UE has entered or left an MICO mode; when the UE has left the MICO mode, sending a first message to an associated SMF, the first message being adopted to notify the associated SMF that the UE has left the MICO mode or the UE is reachable; and when the UE has entered the MICO mode, sending a second message to a target SMF, the second message being adopted to notify the target SMF that the UE has entered the MICO mode or the UE is unreachable.

Claims20

Dependent claims

An information processing method, which is realized by an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), comprising:

receiving a registration update request from a User Equipment (UE);
determining whether (i) the UE has entered into a Mobile Initiated Connection Only (MICO) mode from another mode of the UE being not in the MICO mode or (ii) the UE has left the MICO mode and entered into the other mode of the UE being not in the MICO mode;
sending a first message to an associated Session Management Function (SMF), in response to determining that the UE has left the MICO mode and entered into the other mode of the UE being not in the MICO mode, the first message being adopted to notify the associated SMF that the UE has left the MICO mode or the UE is reachable;
and/or
sending a second message to a target SMF, in response to determining that the UE has entered the MICO mode from the other mode of the UE being not in the MICO mode, the second message being adopted to notify the target SMF that the UE has entered the MICO mode or the UE is unreachable,
wherein the UE that has entered the MICO mode merely initiates a mobile originated procedure rather than listening to network paging.

An information processing method, which is realized by an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), comprising:

determining whether (i) a User Equipment (UE) has entered into a Mobile Initiated Connection Only (MICO) mode from another mode of the UE being not in the MICO mode or (ii) the UE has left the MICO mode and entered into the other mode of the UE being not in the MICO mode;
and
indicating a Session Management Function (SMF) serving the UE not to send a notification or a downlink paging request, in response to determining that the UE has entered into the MICO mode from the other mode of the UE being not in the MICO mode, wherein the notification is downlink signaling or an information notification triggered when a data has arrived,
wherein the UE that has entered the MICO mode merely initiates a mobile originated procedure rather than listening to network paging.

An information processing method, which is realized by a Session Management Function (SMF), comprising:

determining whether (i) a User Equipment (UE) has entered into a Mobile Initiated Connection Only (MICO) mode from another mode of the UE being not in the MICO mode or (ii) the UE has left the MICO mode and entered into the other mode of the UE being not in the MICO mode, when a notification or a downlink paging request needs to be transmitted, wherein the notification is downlink signaling or an information notification triggered when a data has arrived;
not sending the notification or the downlink paging request to the UE, in response to determining that the UE has entered into the MICO mode from the other mode of the UE being not in the MICO mode;
and/or
not sending the notification or the downlink paging request to an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) serving the UE, in response to determining that the UE has not entered into the MICO mode from the other mode of the UE being not in the MICO mode or when the UE is unreachable,
wherein the UE that has entered the MICO mode merely initiates a mobile originated procedure rather than listening to network paging.
