Abstract

A paging method for use in a network access device, includes: acquiring an identifier of a terminal being called in a voice service of a Packet Switched domain; generating a paging message according to the identifier of the terminal being called, the paging message including a core network domain name field and a value of the core network domain name field corresponding to the voice service of the Packet Switched domain; and sending the paging message to the terminal being called.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A paging method for use in a network access device, comprising:
acquiring an identifier of a terminal being called in a voice service of a Packet Switched domain, the terminal being configured to operate with first and second Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards;
generating a paging message according to the identifier of the terminal being called, the paging message including a core network domain name field and a value of the core network domain name field corresponding to the voice service of the Packet Switched domain, the value indicating a processing priority of the voice service of the Packet Switched domain; and
sending the paging message to the terminal being called, the paging message configured to cause the terminal to:
process the paging message with a first priority which corresponds to the voice service of the Packet Switched domain;
when a target SIM card of the paging message is the first SIM card and the second SIM card is occupying an antenna resource in the terminal, detect whether the first priority is higher than a second priority of a current service of the second SIM card; and
when the first priority is higher than the second priority, allocate the antenna resource to the voice service of the Packet Switched domain corresponding to the first priority.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the voice service of the Packet Switched domain is a Voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) service, and the value of the core network domain name field indicates a Packet Switched domain VoLTE (PS-VoLTE).

3. A paging method for use in a terminal configured to operate with first and second Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards, the paging method comprising:
receiving a paging message;
parsing and acquiring a value of a core network domain name field from the paging message; and
when the value of the core network domain name field corresponds to a voice service of a Packet Switched domain, processing the paging message with a first priority which corresponds to the voice service of the Packet Switched domain, further comprising:
when a target SIM card of the paging message is the first SIM card and the second SIM card occupies an antenna resource in the terminal, detecting whether the first priority is higher than a second priority of a current service of the second SIM card; and
when the first priority is higher than the second priority, allocating the antenna resource to the voice service of the Packet Switched domain corresponding to the first priority.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the voice service of the Packet Switched domain is a Voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) service, and the value of the core network domain name field is Packet Switched domain VoLTE (PS-VoLTE).

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
providing the voice service of the Packet Switched domain with the first priority; and
providing a data service of the Packet Switched domain with a second priority lower than the first priority.

6. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
providing the voice service of the Packet Switched domain with the first priority; and
providing a data service of the Packet Switched domain with a second priority lower than the first priority.

7. A network access device, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;
wherein the processor is configured to perform:
acquiring an identifier of a terminal being called in a voice service of a Packet Switched domain, the terminal being configured to operate with first and second Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards;
generating a paging message according to the identifier of the terminal being called, the paging message including a core network domain name field and a value of the core network domain name field corresponding to the voice service of the Packet Switched domain, the value indicating a processing priority of the voice service of the Packet Switched domain; and
sending the paging message to the terminal being called, the paging message configured to cause the terminal to:
process the paging message with a first priority which corresponds to the voice service of the Packet Switched domain;
when a target SIM card of the paging message is the first SIM card and the second SIM card is occupying an antenna resource in the terminal, detect whether the first priority is higher than a second priority of a current service of the second SIM card; and
when the first priority is higher than the second priority, allocate the antenna resource to the voice service of the Packet Switched domain corresponding to the first priority.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the voice service of the Packet Switched domain is a Voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) service, and the value of the core network domain name field indicates a Packet Switched domain VoLTE (PS-VoLTE).

9. A terminal configured to operate with first and second Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;
wherein the processor is configured to perform:
receiving a paging message;
parsing and acquiring a value of a core network domain name field from the paging message; and
when the value of the core network domain name field corresponds to a voice service of a Packet Switched domain, processing the paging message with a first priority which corresponds to the voice service of the Packet Switched domain, further comprising:
when a target SIM card of the paging message is the first SIM card and the second SIM card occupies an antenna resource in the terminal, detecting whether the first priority is higher than a second priority of a current service of the second SIM card; and
when the first priority is higher than the second priority, allocating the antenna resource to the voice service of the Packet Switched domain corresponding to the first priority.

10. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the voice service of the Packet Switched domain is a Voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) service, and the value of the core network domain name field indicates a Packet Switched domain VoLTE (PS-VoLTE).

11. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform:
providing the voice service of the Packet Switched domain with the first priority; and
providing a data service of the Packet Switched domain with a second priority lower than the first priority.

12. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform:
providing the voice service of the Packet Switched domain with the first priority; and
providing a data service of the Packet Switched domain with a second priority lower than the first priority.
