Abstract
A registration processing method and an apparatus are disclosed herein to enable the network to distinguish between different registration processing types. The method includes: identifying, by a user equipment, UE, a registration type when registering into a network; reporting, by the UE, a registration processing type information corresponding to the identified registration type to a network-side network element during registering into the network. The UE reports the registration processing type information to the network in the process of registering into the network, and therefore, the network distinguishes between different registration processing types accordingly.
Claims23
A registration processing method, comprising:
- identifying, by a user equipment (UE), a registration type when registering into a network;
- reporting, by the UE, a registration processing type information corresponding to the identified registration type to a network-side network element during registering into the network, wherein the registration processing type information reported by the UE is an Type information element (IE) in an Attach Request message, the values of which Type IE corresponds to Handover Attach and indicates that the Attach Request message is caused by handover, when the UE finds that the registration is caused by handover between a non 3rd Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) network and a 3rd Generation Partnership (3GPP) network.
A User Equipment (UE), comprising:
- an identifying unit, configured to identify a registration type when the UE initiates the registration;
- a registration initiating unit, configured to initiate registration and send a registration triggering signal;
- and
- a reporting unit, configured to receive the registration triggering signal from the registration initiating unit, and report processing type information during registering the UE into the network, wherein the processing type information corresponds to the registration type identified by the identifying unit, and the registration processing type information is an Type information element (IE) in an Attach Request message, the values of which Type IE corresponds to Handover Attach and indicates that the Attach Request message is caused by handover, when the registration is caused by handover between a non 3rd Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) network and a 3rd Generation Partnership (3GPP) network.
A method, comprising:
- accessing, by a user equipment (UE), a non-3rd Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) network;
- adding, by the UE, an information element (IE) to a request message for handover to a 3GPP network;
- and
- sending, by the UE, the request message to a mobility management entity in the 3GPP network during a handover from the non-3GPP network to the 3GPP network,
- wherein a value of the IE in the request message indicates that the request message is caused by handover.
A communication device, comprising:
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors in communication with the memory, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to:
- access a non-3rd Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) network;
- add an information element (IE) to a request message for handover to a 3GPP network, and
- send the request message to a mobility management entity in the 3GPP network during a handover from the non-3GPP network to the 3GPP network,
- wherein a value of the IE in the request message indicates that the request message is caused by handover.
