Abstract
A location area management method and a device, the location area management method including receiving, by a single radio controller, a first request message, where the first request message is used by user equipment UE to request a location update, generating, by the single radio controller, a paging area list of the UE according to the first request message, where the paging area list includes a location area identity of a location area of at least one network standard, adding, by the single radio controller, the paging area list of the UE to a first response message, and sending the first response message to the UE.
Claims20
A location area management method, comprising:
- receiving, by a location area management device, a first request message, wherein the first request message requests performance of a location update on a user equipment (UE);
- generating, by the location area management device, a paging area list of the UE according to the first request message, wherein the paging area list comprises a location area identity of a location area of at least one network standard;
- adding, by the location area management device, the paging area list of the UE to a first response message;
- and
- sending, by the location area management device, the first response message to the UE;
- wherein the location area identity comprises one or more of a tracking area identity (TAI), a routing area identity (RAI), or a cell identity;
- and
- wherein the location area management device is configured to manage access network devices of different network standards together, and to be integrated to an access network device.
A location area management device, wherein the location area management device is located in an access network device and comprises:
- a receiver;
- a processor coupled to the receiver;
- a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to be executed by the processor, the program including instructions to:
- receive, through the receiver, a first request message, wherein the first request message requests performance of a location update on a user equipment (UE);
- generate a paging area list of the UE according to the first request message, wherein the paging area list comprises a location area identity of a location area of at least one network standard;
- add the paging area list of the UE to a first response message;
- and
- send the first response message to the UE;
- wherein the location area identity comprises one or more of a tracking area identity (TAI), a routing area identity (RAI), or a cell identity.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer program code stored thereon, executable by one or more digital processors, the computer program code including instructions for:
- receiving a first request message, wherein the first request message requests performance of a location update on a user equipment (UE);
- generating a paging area list of the UE according to the first request message, wherein the paging area list comprises a location area identity of a location area of at least one network standard;
- adding the paging area list of the UE to a first response message;
- and
- sending the first response message to the UE;
- wherein the location area identity of a location area of at least one network standard comprises one or more of a tracking area identity (TAI), a routing area identity (RAI), or a cell identity.
