Paging method and device

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a paging method and device, and the method comprises the steps: when an MEC server receives a communication data packet sent by a local service server, inquiring the downlink bearing information of a terminal connected with the MEC server; if the query fails, returning a query failure message to the local service server; the local service server being usedfor searching the IMSI of the terminal according to the query failure message and sending a paging request carrying the IMSI to the MEC server; receiving the paging request; generating a paging message based on the paging request; and adopting the paging message to initiate paging to the terminal. According to the embodiment of the invention, even if the terminal is in the RRC idle state, paging of the terminal can be realized through the IMSI of the terminal, and the called process is completed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a paging method and a paging device. Background technique [0002] In the existing network architecture, the service platform is deployed after the core network (SAE-GW). With the introduction of the 5G network concept and service requirements, MEC (Mobile Edge Compute, Mobile Edge Computing) technology emerged as the times require. With MEC technology, service platforms can be deployed close to the mobile edge. [0003] Such as figure 1 As shown, the MEC server is connected to the base station and the local service server, and is deployed at the same network level (near the mobile edge); the MEC server and the EPC (Evolved Packet Core, evolved packet core network) are connected through a transmission network (such as a PTN network) ; EPC and subsequent remote service servers are deployed at a higher network level (such as the core computer room).

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0011] (1) The terminal needs to pass the heartbeat mechanism with the local service server to ensure that it is always in the RRC connection state, which will greatly limit the popularization and application of existing technologies;

[0012] (2) The heartbeat mechanism also makes the power consumption of the terminal more prominent, which brings poor user experience;

[0013] (3) Once the terminal is in the RRC idle state, it cannot complete the called process;

[0014] (4) Due to the limitation of the use of the terminal survival detection method, the efficiency of the use of eNB wireless resources will also be reduced
