Abstract

The disclosure provides a system, end and method for transmitting 1x messages. The method comprises: when a sending terminal needs to send a plurality of 1x messages to a receiving terminal through a non-1x network, carrying the plurality of 1x messages in one message. With the technical solution of the disclosure, the problem that it is unable to ensure that a plurality of 1x Layer3 messages is transmitted synchronously under the related inter-working situation and the problem of the processing time sequence of messages are solved.

Claims

1. A method for transmitting 1x messages, comprising:

carrying a plurality of 1x messages in one message, when a sending terminal needs to send the plurality of 1x messages to a receiving terminal through a non-1x network; and

after receiving the message containing a plurality of 1x messages, the receiving terminal processes the plurality of 1x messages according to a sequence of the messages;

wherein the message carrying the plurality of 1x messages is a General Circuit Service Notification Application 1x Circuit Service (GCSNA1xCircuitService) message.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein

The carried plurality of 1x messages are encapsulated in different data units respectively, and

the data unit in which the 1x messages are encapsulated is a 1x Layer3 data unit or a 1x Layer2 data unit.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein

the sending terminal is an Inter-working Solution (IWS);

after receiving a paging request message or a feature notification message which is sent from a mobile switching center and carries a caller number, the IWS encapsulates the caller number in the feature notification message of a 1x air interface, and encapsulates a general paging message and the feature notification message of the 1x air interface in one message, and sends to the receiving terminal; and

the receiving terminal is a terminal which is located in a non-1x network and supports 1x and other radio access technologies.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein

the terminal receives the message containing the feature notification message and the general paging message, and extracts the feature notification message first;

and further processes the general paging message if a user chooses to accept the call, and does not process the general paging message if the user chooses to refuse the call.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein

the sending terminal is an IWS;

and the receiving terminal is a terminal which is located in a non-1x network and supports 1x and other radio access technologies; and

during paging processing and resource allocation process under a situation of inter-working among the IWS, the terminal and a 1x network, after completing the resource allocation, the IWS encapsulates a constructed resource assignment message of a 1x air interface and an incoming call notification message of the 1x air interface in one message, and then sends to the terminal.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein

the terminal receives the message containing the resource assignment message of the 1x air interface and the incoming call notification message of the 1x air interface, processes the resource assignment message first, and then processes the incoming call notification message;

and

the resource assignment message of the 1x air interface is an extended channel assignment message and/or a universal handoff direction message.

12. The method according to claim 1, wherein

the sending terminal is a terminal which is located in a non-1x network and supports 1x and other radio access technologies;

and

the receiving terminal is an IWS.

13. The method according to claim 1, wherein

the message carrying the plurality of 1x messages is a message defined by a protocol supporting inter-working between CDMA2000 1x RTT and other radio access technologies.

14. A system for transmitting 1x messages, comprising a sending terminal and a receiving terminal, wherein

The sending terminal is configured to, when the sending terminal needs to send a plurality of 1x messages to a receiving terminal through a non-1x network, carry the plurality of 1x messages in one message;

and

the receiving terminal is configured to, after receiving the message containing the plurality of 1x messages, process the plurality of 1x messages according to a sequence of the messages;

wherein the message carrying the plurality of 1x messages is a General Circuit Service Notification Application 1x Circuit Service (GCSNA1xCircuitService) message.

16. The system according to claim 14, wherein

The sending terminal encapsulates the sent plurality of 1x messages in different data units respectively, and

the data unit in which the 1x messages are encapsulated is a 1x Layer3 data unit or a 1x Layer2 data unit.

17. The system according to claim 14, wherein

the sending terminal is an Inter-working Solution (IWS);

after receiving a paging request message or a feature notification message which is sent from a mobile switching center and carries a caller number, the IWS encapsulates the caller number in a feature notification message of a 1x air interface, encapsulates a general paging message and the feature notification message of the 1x air interface in one message, and then sends to the receiving terminal; and

the receiving terminal is a terminal which is located in a non-1x network and supports 1x and other radio access technologies.

18. The system according to claim 17, wherein

that the receiving terminal processes the plurality of 1x messages according to the sequence of the messages after receiving the message containing the plurality of 1x messages comprises:

after receiving the message containing the feature notification message and the general paging message, the terminal extracting the feature notification message first; and

further processing the general paging message if a user chooses to accept the call, and not processing the general paging message if the user chooses to refuse the call.

19. The system according to claim 14, wherein

the sending terminal is an IWS;

the receiving terminal is a terminal which is located in a non-1x network and supports 1x and other radio access technologies; and

during paging processing and resource allocation process under a situation of inter-working among the IWS, the terminal and a 1x network, after completing the resource allocation, the IWS encapsulates a constructed resource assignment message of a 1x air interface and an incoming call notification message of the 1x air interface in one message, and then sends to the terminal.

20. The system according to claim 19, wherein

that the receiving terminal processes the plurality of 1x messages according to the sequence of the messages after receiving the message containing the plurality of 1x messages comprises:
