wherein the message carrying the plurality of 1x messages is a General Circuit Service Notification Application 1x Circuit Service (GCSNA 1xCircuitService) message;

the sending terminal is an Inter Working Solution (IWS);

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

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;

or

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.

8. The system according to claim 7, 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 Layer 3 data unit or a 1x Layer 2 data unit.

10. The system according to claim 7, wherein
