Abstract

A method and device for suspending an RRC connection are provided. The method comprises: the first node sends a first notification message to a second node, and negotiates with the second node about whether the RRC connection is required to be suspended, wherein the first notification message is used for notifying the second node that the first node determines that the RRC connection is required to be suspended; if a result of the negotiation between the first node and the second node is that the RRC connection is required to be suspended, the first node sends a first suspension command to a terminal device, the first suspension command being used for triggering the terminal device to suspend the RRC connection and enter an RRC inactive state.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method for suspending a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection, comprising:
 sending, by a first node, a first notification message to a second node, the first notification message being used for notifying the second node that the first node determines that the RRC connection is required to be suspended; and   receiving, by the first node, a third notification message from the second node, the third notification message being used for notifying the first node that the RRC connection is able to be suspended;   sending, by the first node, a first suspension command, via an RRC release message, to a terminal device, the first suspension command being used for triggering the terminal device to suspend the RRC connection and to enter an RRC inactive state, wherein the first node is a Master Node (MN) in a Dual Connectivity (DC) network or a Multiple Connectivity (MC) network, and the second node is a Secondary Node (SN) in the DC network or the MC network, and the first node and the second node are nodes of access network side.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving, by the first node, a second notification message from the second node, the second notification message being used for notifying the first node that the RRC connection is disable to be suspended.   
     
     
         3 . A method for suspending a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection, comprising:
 receiving, by a second node, a first notification message from a first node, the first notification message being used for notifying the second node that the first node determines that the RRC connection is required to be suspended; and   sending, by the second node, a third notification message to the first node, the third notification message being used for notifying the first node that the RRC connection is able to be suspended, to enable that the first node sends a first suspension command, via an RRC release message, to a terminal device, the first suspension command being used for triggering the terminal device to suspend the RRC connection and to enter an RRC inactive state, wherein the first node is a Master Node (MN) in a Dual Connectivity (DC) network or a Multiple Connectivity (MC) network, and the second node is a Secondary Node (SN) in the DC network or the MC network, and the first node and the second node are nodes of access network side.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , further comprising:
 sending, by the second node, a second notification message to the first node, the second notification message being used for notifying the first node that the RRC connection is disable to be suspended.   
     
     
         5 . A first node for suspending a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection, comprising:
 a processor, configured to control a transmission device to send a first notification message to a second node, the first notification message being used for notifying the second node that the first node determines that the RRC connection is required to be suspended;   control the transmission device to receive a third notification message from the second node, the third notification message being used for notifying the first node that the RRC connection is able to be suspended; and   control the transmission device to send a first suspension command, via an RRC release message, to a terminal device, the first suspension command being used for triggering the terminal device to suspend the RRC connection and to enter an RRC inactive state, wherein the first node is a Master Node (MN) in a Dual Connectivity (DC) network or a Multiple Connectivity (MC) network, and the second node is a Secondary Node (SN) in the DC network or the MC network, and the first node and the second node are nodes of access network side.   
     
     
         6 . The first node of  claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to control the transmission device to receive a second notification message from the second node, the second notification message being used for notifying the first node that the RRC connection is disable to be suspended.
