Registration area determining method and mobility management entity
First Claim
1. A registration area determining method, comprising:
- determining, by a mobility management entity, that both a duration in which a user equipment does not access a basic registration area in a registration area of the user equipment and a duration in which the user equipment does not initiate a periodic basic registration area update procedure are greater than or equal to a preset duration when the mobility management entity does not receive, in a preset duration starting from a time when the mobility management entity allocates the registration area to the user equipment, a signaling message sent by the user equipment in the basic registration area or a periodic basic registration area update request message sent by the user equipment;
generating, by the mobility management entity, a new registration area for the user equipment, wherein the new registration area does not comprise the basic registration area; and
sending, by the mobility management entity, the new registration area to the user equipment.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a registration area determining method, to reduce overheads for sending paging signaling to user equipment. The method in the embodiments of the present disclosure includes: determining, by a mobility management entity, that both duration in which user equipment does not access a basic registration area in a registration area of the user equipment and duration in which the user equipment does not initiate a periodic basic registration area update procedure are greater than or equal to preset duration; generating, by the mobility management entity, a new registration area for the user equipment, where the new registration area does not include the basic registration area; and sending, by the mobility management entity, the new registration area to the user equipment. The embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a mobility management entity, to reduce the overheads for sending paging signaling to the user equipment.

-
determining, by a mobility management entity, that both a duration in which a user equipment does not access a basic registration area in a registration area of the user equipment and a duration in which the user equipment does not initiate a periodic basic registration area update procedure are greater than or equal to a preset duration by starting a timer when the mobility management entity allocates the registration area to the user equipment, and when the mobility management entity does not receive, from a time when the timer is started to a time when a timing duration of the timer reaches the preset duration, a signaling message sent by the user equipment in the basic registration area or the periodic basic registration area update request message sent by the user equipment; generating, by the mobility management entity, a new registration area for the user equipment, wherein the new registration area does not comprise the basic registration area; and sending, by the mobility management entity, the new registration area to the user equipment. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7)

8. A mobility management entity, comprising:
-
a processor; and memory coupled to the processor, the memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the mobility management entity to; determine that both a duration in which a user equipment does not access a basic registration area in a registration area of the user equipment and a duration in which the user equipment does not initiate a periodic basic registration area update procedure are greater than or equal to a preset duration when the processor does not receive, in a preset duration starting from a time when the processor allocates the registration area to the user equipment, a signaling message sent by the user equipment in the basic registration area or a periodic basic registration area update request message sent by the user equipment, generate a new registration area for the user equipment, wherein the new registration area does not comprise the basic registration area, and send the new registration area to the user equipment. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)
