Method and apparatus for paging user equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses a paging method used in a system consisting a user facility and a base station (BS). The method comprises the following steps: paging information is set in the BS, and the information carries paging multi-user facility indication information; the BS sends the paging information to the user facility, so that the user facility exits an idle mode according to paging multi-user facility indication information. The invention also discloses a user facility and a BS. In the embodiment of the invention, multiple MSes using MBS service can be paged at one time by carrying the paging indication information in MBS MAP, thus saving the expense on sending MBS_PAG_ADV information by a plurality of times; when the BS does not have the MBS service, the BS does not send any relevant paging signaling, thus saving air interfaces.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, in particular to a user equipment paging method and equipment. Background technique [0002] WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access), also known as 802.16 wireless metropolitan area network, is a broadband wireless connection solution that provides the last mile for enterprises and home users, and can achieve high coverage in the field of data communication The range, for example, can cover a range of 25 to 30 miles, and the technology is based on a series of broadband wireless standards of IEEE 802.16. Among them, 802.16e belongs to the air standard for mobile broadband wireless access. [0003] Two types of MBS (Multicast Broadcast Service, multicast broadcast service) access are defined in IEEE 802.16e: single BS (Base Station, base station) access and multi-BS access. Among them, multi-BS access means that multiple BSs transmit the same MBS data on the same ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0011] The inventors of the present invention have found that the existing technology has the following defects: when used to wake up multiple terminals enjoying a certain MBS service, the paging listening intervals of the MSs enjoying the MBS service may be different, so it is necessary to try to send MOB_PAG_ADV multiple times message, resulting in a waste of air interface resources; as long as there is an MS using this MBS service in the PagingGroup (paging group) that needs to wake up (Paging) because of the MBS service, then multiple BSs belonging to this Paging Group must send MOB_PAG_ADV paging messages , even if there is no MS under this BS to use this MBS service, it still needs to send a paging message, which also causes a waste of air interface resources

And because the message is sent on the Broadcast CID, multiple irrelevant MSs have to resolve the message, resulting in a decline in MS processing capabilities
