Abstract
A method for processing a short message provided in an embodiment of the present invention includes: determining, by a network element in a 2G or 3G network, that a current service type is short message, and a user equipment (UE) is in an idle state; and sending, by the network element, a paging message carrying circuit switched (CS) domain indication information to the UE, wherein the CS domain indication information instructs the UE to send a paging response message to a mobile-services switching centre/visitor location register (MSC/VLR) through a CS connection and receive a short message from the MSC/VLR through the CS connection.
Claims11
A method for processing a short message, comprising:
- determining, by a network element in a 2G or 3G network, that a current service type is short message, and a user equipment (UE) is in an idle state;
- sending, by the network element, a paging message carrying circuit switched (CS) domain indication information to the UE, wherein the CS domain indication information instructs the UE to send a paging response message to a mobile-services switching centre/visitor location register (MSC/VLR) through a CS connection and receive a short message from the MSC/VLR through the CS connection.
An apparatus for processing a short message, comprising a processor and a transmitter, wherein:
- the processor is configured to determine that a current service type is short message, and a user equipment (UE) is in an idle state;
- the transmitter is configured to send a paging message carrying circuit switched (CS) domain indication information to the UE, wherein the CS domain indication information instructs the UE to send a paging response message to a mobile-services switching centre/visitor location register (MSC/VLR) through a CS connection and to receive a short message from the MSC/VLR through the CS connection.
A method for processing a short message, comprising:
- receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a paging message carrying circuit switched (CS) domain indication information from a network element in a 2G or 3G network, wherein the CS domain indication information is sent by the network element according to that a current service type is short message and the user equipment is in an idle state;
- sending, by the UE, according to the CS domain indication information, a paging response message to a mobile-services switching centre/visitor location register (MSC/VLR) through a CS connection;
- receiving, by the UE, a short message from the MSC/VLR through the CS connection.
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a receiver, configured to receive a paging message carrying circuit switched (CS) domain indication information from a network element in a 2G or 3G network, wherein the CS domain indication information is sent by the network element according to that a current service type is short message and the user equipment is in an idle state;
- and
- a transmitter, configured to send, according to the CS domain indication information, a paging response message to a mobile-services switching centre/visitor location register (MSC/VLR) through a CS connection;
- wherein the receiver is further configured to receive a short message from the MSC/VLR through the CS connection.
A system, comprising:
- a mobility management entity (MME), configured to send a paging indication message, wherein the paging indication message carries service indication information and the service indication information indicates that a current service type is short message;
- and
- a serving GPRS support node (SGSN), configured to receive the paging indication message, to determine, according to paging indication message, that the current service type is short message and a user equipment (UE) is in idle mode, and to send a paging message carrying circuit switched (CS) domain indication information to the UE, wherein the CS domain indication information instructs the UE to send a paging response message to a mobile-services switching centre/visitor location register (MSC/VLR) through a CS connection and receive a short message from the MSC/VLR through the CS connection.
