[0002] In related technologies, if paging is performed without paging packets, for example, waking up all User Equipment (UE) at a single paging occupancy (PO), where the paging probability of each UE varies within that occupancy, UEs with a relatively low paging probability may be incorrectly woken up, resulting in unnecessary power consumption. Therefore, paging packets for UEs need to be considered. However, how the base station notifies the UE of supported paging packet methods is not clearly defined, and the UE cannot accurately know the paging packet resources it is using based on the notified paging packet method.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a wireless communication system provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the wireless communication system is a communication system based on cellular mobile communication technology. The wireless communication system may include: several user equipment 110 and several base stations 120.

[0037] User equipment 110 can be a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user. User equipment 110 can communicate with one or more core networks via a Radio Access Network (RAN). User equipment 110 can be an Internet of Things (IoT) user equipment, such as sensor devices, mobile phones (or "cellular" phones), and computers with IoT user equipment capabilities. For example, it can be a fixed, portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-embedded, or vehicle-mounted device. Examples include a station (STA), subscriber unit, subscriber station, mobile station, mobile station, remote station, access point, remote terminal, access terminal, user terminal, user agent, user device, or user equipment. Alternatively, user equipment 110 can also be a device from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Alternatively, user equipment 110 can also be a vehicle-mounted device, such as a vehicle computer with wireless communication capabilities, or a wireless user equipment connected to an external vehicle computer. Alternatively, user equipment 110 can also be a roadside device, such as a street light, traffic light, or other roadside device with wireless communication capabilities.

[0038] Base station 120 can be a network-side device in a wireless communication system. This wireless communication system can be a 4G system (also known as Long Term Evolution, LTE); or it can be a 5G system (also known as a New Radio, 5G NR, or 5G NR system). Alternatively, it can be the next generation after 5G. In this case, the access network in the 5G system can be called a New Generation-Radio Access Network (NG-RAN).

[0039] The base station 120 can be an evolved NB (eNB) used in a 4G system. Alternatively, the base station 120 can also be a gNB (gNB) using a centralized-distributed architecture in a 5G system. When the base station 120 adopts a centralized-distributed architecture, it typically includes a central unit (CU) and at least two distributed units (DUs). The central unit is equipped with a protocol stack of the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer, the Radio Link Control (RLC) layer, and the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer; the distributed units are equipped with a physical (PHY) layer protocol stack. This disclosure does not limit the specific implementation of the base station 120.

[0040] Base station 120 and user equipment 110 can establish a wireless connection via a wireless air interface. In different implementations, the wireless air interface is a wireless air interface based on the fourth-generation mobile communication network technology (4G) standard; or, the wireless air interface is a wireless air interface based on the fifth-generation mobile communication network technology (5G) standard, such as a new air interface; or, the wireless air interface can also be a wireless air interface based on a next-generation mobile communication network technology standard based on 5G.

[0043] In some embodiments, the wireless communication system described above may further include a network management device 130.

[0044] Several base stations 120 are connected to network management device 130. Network management device 130 can be a core network device in a wireless communication system, such as a Mobility Management Entity (MME) in an Evolved Packet Core (EPC). Alternatively, it can be other core network devices, such as a Serving Gateway (SGW), a Public Data Network Gateway (PGW), a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), or a Home Subscriber Server (HSS). The implementation of network management device 130 is not limited in this embodiment.

[0045] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, this disclosure provides multiple embodiments to clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure. Of course, those skilled in the art will understand that the multiple embodiments provided in this disclosure can be executed individually, or in combination with the methods of other embodiments in this disclosure, or individually or in combination with some methods in other related technologies; this disclosure does not limit these aspects.

[0046] To better understand the technical solutions described in any embodiment of this disclosure, the group paging scenario in the related art will first be explained:

[0047] In one embodiment, if a UE is woken up within a paging window without a paging packet, the probability of being woken up incorrectly, even with a relatively low paging probability, will still be erroneously woken up, resulting in unnecessary power consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to paging the UE using a paging packet method. In one embodiment, the paging packet information can be carried in the downlink control information (DCI) or in the paging early indication (PEI). In one embodiment, reserved bits in the paging DCI or predetermined bits in the PEI are used to indicate the paging packet. In another embodiment, multiple reserved bits in the paging DCI or multiple bits in the PEI indicate multiple paging packet resources; here, the PEI can adopt the DCI format.

[0048] In one embodiment, if the network does not send paging packet information to the UE, the UE will select a predetermined packet. In another embodiment, if the network does not send paging packet information to the UE, the predetermined paging packet resource is determined to be the UE's paging packet resource. The predetermined paging packet resource can be a public paging resource.

[0049] Regardless of the paging packet method used, the UE and the network (including the base station and core network) need to reach an agreement on the packet to which the UE belongs in order to send the paging message to the UE normally.

[0050] In one embodiment, the UE and the network can use two paging packet methods: one is a network-allocated paging packet method, where the network sends paging packet information to the UE; the other is a paging packet method based on the User Equipment Identifier (UE-ID), wherein the UE-ID-based paging packet method can be implemented using the following formula: Where wg represents the selected paging group resource, UE_ID represents the paging group to which the UE belongs, and N is the paging frame density in the time domain, while N s N represents the paging density within a paging frame in the time domain. n Narrowband paging; N w The total number of paging packet resources for UE-ID paging packets. In one embodiment, the paging packet method based on UE-ID is also called the random method or the modulo method of UE-ID.

[0051] In this way, the UE, base station, and core network equipment achieve consistency in UE packet confirmation.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, this disclosure provides an information processing method, executed by a base station, including:

[0053] Step S21: Send first information; wherein, the first information is used to determine the paging packet mode supported by the base station, and / or, the first information is used to determine the mapping relationship between the paging packet determined by the paging packet mode supported by the base station and the paging packet resources.

[0054] The processing method provided in this embodiment can be executed by a base station; the base station can be of various types, such as a 2G base station, a 3G base station, a 4G base station, a 5G base station or other evolved base stations.

[0055] The method provided in this embodiment can also be executed by other network devices, such as other access network devices or core network devices. When the information processing method is executed by the core network device, the core network device sends the first information to the base station, and then the base station forwards the first information.

[0056] Here, core network equipment can be various physical or logical entities, such as mobility management entities or service gateways.

[0057] In one embodiment, the base station notifies the UE of the paging packet methods supported by the base station. This allows the UE to be aware of the paging packet methods and determine the paging packet based on them. For network-allocated paging packet methods, the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources issued by the base station is used to enable the UE to accurately know the paging packet resources of its current paging packet. For UE-ID-based paging packet methods, a modulo operation is performed on the paging packet resources based on the UE-ID to ensure the UE accurately knows the paging packet resources of its current paging packet.

[0058] In one embodiment, the base station notifies the UE of the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources determined by the paging packet mode supported by the base station. This allows the UE to know the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources determined by the paging packet mode, enabling the UE to accurately determine the paging packet resources of its current paging packet based on this mapping relationship.

[0059] In one embodiment, step S21 above can also be: sending first information, wherein the first information is used to determine the mapping relationship between the paging packet method supported by the base station and the paging packet resources. Here, the mapping relationship between the paging packet method supported by the base station and the paging packet resources may include: the paging packet method supported by the base station, and the mapping relationship between the paging packets and paging packet resources determined by the paging packet method supported by the base station. In this way, the UE can know the paging packet method adopted by the base station, and the UE can determine its paging packet based on the paging packet method; and the UE can accurately know the paging packet resources of the paging packet it belongs to based on the mapping relationship between the paging packets and paging packet resources determined by the paging packet method.

[0060] This disclosure provides an information processing method applied to a base station, which may include: sending first information to a UE.

[0061] Here, UE can be various mobile terminals. For example, UE can be, but is not limited to, mobile phones, computers, servers, wearable devices, game control platforms, or multimedia devices.

[0062] In some possible implementations, the base station sends first information to the UE for determining the paging packet mode supported by the base station. The UE can determine the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources according to pre-configuration or a communication protocol; therefore, the UE can determine the paging packet resources based on the paging packet mode in the received first information and the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources. That is, the method includes: the base station sending first information to the UE for determining the paging packet mode supported by the base station, so that the UE can determine the paging packet resources based on the first information and the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources determined by pre-configuration or a communication protocol.

[0063] In some possible implementations, the base station sends to the UE, either separately or simultaneously, first information for determining the paging packet mode supported by the base station, and relationship information indicating the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources. Therefore, the UE can determine the paging packet resources based on the paging packet mode in the received first information and the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources indicated in the relationship information. The relationship information indicating the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources can be sent through the first information or through any other message.

[0064] This disclosure provides an information processing method applied to a base station, which may include: sending first information to a UE, wherein the first information is used to determine paging packet resources.

[0065] In the information processing method provided in the above-described embodiments of this disclosure, sending the first information may include: broadcasting the first information. In one embodiment, the base station broadcasts a system message, wherein the system message carries the first information. Thus, all UEs within the cell can receive the first information; this can save signaling overhead.

[0066] In the information processing method provided in the above-described embodiments of this disclosure, sending the first information may include: the base station sending the first information through any other feasible means. For example, the first information may be sent to the UE via messages such as DCI or PEI.

[0067] In one implementation, the information processing method of this disclosure embodiment may include: sending paging packet resource information.

[0068] In one implementation, the information processing method of this disclosure may include: sending paging packet information and paging packet resource information.

[0069] Here, the paging packet information indicates the paging packet; the paging packet method used by the paging packet is a paging packet method supported by the base station. The paging packet resource information indicates the paging packet resources allocated to the paging packet indicated by the paging packet information.

[0070] Here, if the base station sends paging packet information, the UE can at least know the paging packet that determines the UE based on the paging packet method. If the base station sends paging packet resource information, the UE can at least know the paging packet resources configured by the network.

[0071] In one embodiment, the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources can be: one paging packet maps to one or more paging packet resources. For example, as shown in Table 1 below, if the network allocates three paging packets to all UEs (Paging Group 1, Paging Group 2, and Paging Group 3), and the network allocates five paging packet resources (Paging Packet Resource 1, Paging Packet Resource 2, Paging Packet Resource 3, Paging Packet Resource 4, and Paging Packet Resource 5), then paging group 1 maps to paging packet resources 1 and 2; paging group 2 maps to paging packet resources 3 and 4; and paging group 3 maps to paging packet resource 5. In the table, paging packet resources can also be named: Paging Advance Indication Subgroup (PEI subgroup) or Paging Advance Indication Group (PEI group).

[0072] Paging Groups Paging group resources Paging Group 1 Paging group resources 1, 2 Paging Group 2 Paging group resources 3 and 4 Paging Group 3 Paging group resource 5

[0073] Table 1

[0074] In one embodiment, the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources can be: multiple paging packets map to one or more paging packet resources. For example, as shown in Table 2 below, if the network allocates 6 paging packets to the UE (paging group 1, paging group 2, paging group 3, paging group 4, paging group 5, and paging group 6); and the network allocates 5 paging packet resources (paging packet resource 1, paging group resource 2, paging group resource 3, paging group resource 4, and paging group resource 5); then paging packet resources 1 and 2 map to paging packet resources 1 and 2; paging packet resources 3 and 4 map to paging packet resource 3; and paging packets 5 and 6 map to paging packet resource 5. Of course, the mapped paging packet resources can also overlap, as shown in Table 2, where paging packets 3 and 4 can be mapped to paging packet resources 1, 2, 3, and 4.

[0075] Paging Groups Paging group resources Paging groups 1 and 2 Paging group resources 1, 2 Paging groups 3 and 4 Paging group resources 3 and 4 Paging groups 5 and 6 Paging group resource 5

[0076] Table 2

[0077] It is understood that each element in Table 1 or Table 2 is independent. These elements are listed in the same table as an example, but this does not mean that all elements in the table must exist simultaneously as shown in the table. The value of each element is independent of the values ​​of any other elements in Table 1 or Table 2. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that the value of each element in Table 1 or Table 2 is an independent embodiment.

[0078] In one embodiment, the paging packet method includes at least one of the following: a network-assigned paging packet method; a paging packet method based on the user equipment identifier (UE-ID).

[0079] For example, a base station can implicitly or explicitly indicate to the UE that it supports the network-allocated paging packet method. Explicit indication means that the base station indicates this through a specific indicator or a specific signaling IE (Information Interface). Implicit indication can be exemplified by the following: if the first information sent by the base station includes relationship information indicating the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources, then this first information can be used to determine that the base station supports the network-allocated paging packet method; thus, by sending this first information, the UE can be notified that the base station supports the network-allocated paging packet method.

[0080] For example, a base station can implicitly or explicitly indicate to the UE that it supports network-allocated paging packet methods and UE-ID paging packet methods. Explicit indication means that the base station indicates this through a specific indicator or a specific signaling information element (IE). Implicit indication can be exemplified by the base station sending first information that includes relationship information indicating the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources. This first information can then be used to determine that the base station supports network-allocated paging packet methods and UE-ID paging packet methods. Thus, by sending this first information, the UE can be notified that the base station supports network-allocated paging packet methods and UE-ID paging packet methods. In some possible implementations, supporting network-allocated paging packet methods implicitly identifies supporting UE-ID paging packet methods. Of course, different methods and different signaling can also be used to indicate whether the base station supports network-allocated paging packet methods and whether it supports UE-ID paging packet methods.

[0081] For example, a base station can implicitly or explicitly indicate to the UE that it does not support the network-assigned paging packet method. Explicit indication means that the base station indicates this through a clear indicator or a clear signaling IE (Information Interface). Implicit indication can be exemplified by the base station sending first information including paging packet resource information, which can be used to determine that the base station does not support the network-assigned paging packet method. Thus, by sending this first information, the UE can be notified that the base station does not support the network-assigned paging packet method.

[0082] For example, a base station can implicitly or explicitly indicate to the UE whether it supports the network-allocated paging packet method and whether it supports the UE-ID paging packet method. Explicit indication means that the base station indicates this through a clear indicator or a clear signaling IE (Information Interface). Implicit indication can be exemplified as follows: if the base station sends a first message including paging packet resource information but not a mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources, then this first message can be used to determine that the base station does not support the network-allocated paging packet method but supports the UE-ID-based paging packet method. This means that the UE can obtain the paging packet and its corresponding paging packet resource using the modulo operation of the UE-ID. For example, if the base station broadcasts 10 paging packet resources but does not provide a mapping relationship between paging packets and those resources, then the UE can determine the paging packet and its corresponding paging packet resource by using the modulo operation of the UE-ID. Thus, by sending this first message, the UE can be notified that the base station does not support the network-allocated paging packet method. Of course, the base station can indicate simultaneously or separately whether it supports the paging packet method allocated by the network and whether it supports the paging packet method of the UE-ID.

[0083] For example, if the base station sends first information that does not include paging packet resource information, the first information can be used to determine that the base station does not support the paging packet method allocated by the network and does not support the paging packet method for the UE-ID. Thus, by sending the first information, the UE can be notified that it does not support the paging packet method allocated by the network and the paging packet method for the UE-ID; this allows the UE to not perform paging packet processing and instead listen for paging using the default paging resources. Of course, the base station can simultaneously or separately indicate whether it supports the paging packet method allocated by the network and whether it supports the paging packet method for the UE-ID.

[0084] In this embodiment, a base station can send first information, which is used to determine the paging packet mode supported by the base station, and / or to determine the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources determined by the paging packet mode supported by the base station. Thus, this embodiment can notify the UE that the base station supports a paging packet mode, and / or the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources determined by the paging packet mode supported by the base station; thus, this embodiment allows the UE to accurately know the paging packet mode supported by the base station. Furthermore, if the first information is used to determine the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources determined by the paging packet mode supported by the base station, it can also determine the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources, so that the UE can know the paging packet mode supported by the base station and the paging packet resources for listening to paging at once based on this mapping relationship, which has the characteristic of low signaling overhead.

[0085] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the UE can also determine the paging group mode of the paging group where the UE is located based on the mapping relationship between paging groups determined by the paging group mode. In this way, the UE can also accurately determine which paging group resource information to listen for paging, thereby increasing the probability of the UE being paged normally and saving the UE's power consumption.

[0086] It should be noted that those skilled in the art will understand that the methods provided in the embodiments of this disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of this disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

[0087] like Figure 3 As shown, this disclosure provides an information processing method, executed by a base station, including:

[0088] Step S31: In response to the base station supporting a network-allocated paging packet mode, send relationship information indicating the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources; or, in response to the base station not supporting a network-allocated paging packet mode but supporting a UE-ID-based paging packet mode, send paging packet resource information.

[0089] In some embodiments provided in this disclosure, the paging grouping method can be any of the paging grouping methods described in the above embodiments.

[0090] An information processing method provided in this embodiment, executed by a base station, includes: in response to the base station supporting a paging packet mode allocated by the network but not supporting a paging packet mode based on UE-ID, sending relationship information indicating the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources.

[0091] For example, in response to a base station supporting a network-allocated paging packet method but not a UE-ID-based paging packet method, the following applies: if the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources is one or more paging packets mapping one paging packet resource, the base station supports a network-allocated paging packet method but does not support a UE-ID-based paging packet method.

[0092] Thus, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the base station can determine the paging packet method supported by the network but not the paging packet method based on the UE-ID by mapping one or more paging packets to one paging packet resource. In this case, for UEs that have not obtained a paging packet from the network, the default paging packet or default paging packet resource, such as a public paging resource, will be used directly.

[0093] An information processing method provided in this embodiment, executed by a base station, includes: in response to the base station supporting a paging packet mode allocated by the network and a paging packet mode based on UE-ID, sending relationship information indicating the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources.

[0094] For example, in response to a base station supporting a network-allocated paging packet method and a UE-ID-based paging packet method, the method includes: if the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources is one or more paging packets mapping multiple paging packet resources, the method supports a network-allocated paging packet method and a UE-ID-based paging packet method.

[0095] Thus, in this embodiment, the base station can determine the paging packet method supported by the network and the paging packet method supported by UE-ID based on the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources: one or more paging packets map to multiple paging packet resources. Because multiple paging packet resources exist after the paging packet is determined, it is necessary to use the paging packet method, i.e., to select a paging packet resource from the multiple paging packet resources using the modulo method of UE-ID. Therefore, the UE-ID paging packet method is implicitly supported at this time.

[0096] In one embodiment, step S31 includes one of the following:

[0097] In response to the paging packet mode supported by the base station and allocated by the network, relationship information indicating the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources is sent;

[0098] In response to the base station not supporting the paging packet method allocated by the network but supporting the paging packet method based on UE-ID, paging packet resource information is sent.

[0099] In one embodiment, in response to a paging packet mode supported by the base station and allocated by the network, relational information indicating the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources is sent, including one of the following:

[0100] In response to a base station that supports network-allocated paging packet methods but does not support UE-ID-based paging packet methods, relationship information indicating the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources is sent.

[0101] In response to the base station supporting network-allocated paging packet modes and UE-ID-based paging packet modes, relationship information indicating the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources is sent.

[0102] Thus, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the base station can send different first information (e.g., information indicating the relationship between the paging packet and paging packet resources, or paging packet resource information) when supporting different paging packet modes. This allows the UE to know the paging packet modes supported by the base station and the mapping relationship between the paging packets and paging packet resources determined by the paging packet modes based on the received first information. This enables the UE to accurately determine the paging packet resources of the paging packet in which the UE is located based on the first information, increasing the probability that the UE can normally listen to paging messages and reducing the UE's power consumption.

[0103] This disclosure provides an information processing method executed by a base station, including: in response to the base station not supporting network-allocated paging packet methods and not supporting UE-ID-based paging packet methods, not sending paging packet resource information.

[0104] For example, if the base station determines that it does not support the paging packet method allocated by the network and does not support the paging packet method based on UE-ID, then the base station sends paging packet information but does not send paging packet resource information, or the base station does not send paging packet information or paging packet resource information. In this way, the UE can be aware that the base station does not support the paging packet method allocated by the network and does not support the paging packet method based on UE-ID.

[0105] It should be noted that those skilled in the art will understand that the methods provided in the embodiments of this disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of this disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

[0106] The following information processing method is executed by the UE and is similar to the information processing method executed by the base station described above. For technical details not disclosed in the embodiments of the information processing method executed by the UE, please refer to the description of the example of the information processing method executed by the base station, which will not be described in detail here.

[0107] like Figure 4 As shown, this disclosure provides an information processing method, executed by a UE, including:

[0108] Step S41: Receive the first information;

[0109] Step S42: Based on the first information, determine the paging packet mode supported by the base station; and / or, based on the first information, determine the mapping relationship between the paging packets determined by the paging packet mode supported by the base station and the paging packet resources.

[0110] In the above embodiments, step S42 may also include: determining the paging packet resources determined by the base station based on the first information; and / or, determining the mapping relationship between the paging packets supported by the base station and the paging packet resources based on the first information.

[0111] In some possible embodiments provided in this disclosure, the first information is the first information in step S21; the paging grouping method can be the paging grouping method in step S21.

[0112] In one embodiment, step S42 may include: determining the paging packet mode supported by the base station based on the first information.

[0113] In another embodiment, step S42 may include: determining, based on the first information, the mapping relationship between the paging packets determined by the paging packet mode supported by the base station and the paging packet resources.

[0114] In another embodiment, step S42 may include: determining the paging packet resources supported by the base station based on the first information.

[0115] In another embodiment, step S42 may include: determining the paging packet mode supported by the base station based on the first information, and determining the mapping relationship between the paging packet determined by the paging packet mode supported by the base station and the paging packet resources.

[0116] In one embodiment, step S42 may include: determining a mapping relationship between paging packet modes supported by the base station and paging packet resources based on first information. Here, the mapping relationship between paging packet modes supported by the base station and paging packet resources includes: the paging packet modes supported by the base station, and the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources determined by the paging packet modes supported by the base station.

[0117] The above implementation methods can be referred to the description on the base station side for details, and will not be repeated here.

[0118] In the above embodiments, step S41 may include: receiving first information sent by a base station or a network device. Here, receiving the first information sent by the network device may be: the network device (e.g., a core network or network-side device) sends the first information to the base station, and the base station forwards the first information to the UE. Alternatively, step S41 may include: receiving first information broadcast by the base station.

[0119] In some possible implementations, the UE receives first information from the base station for determining the paging packet mode. Here, the UE can determine the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources according to pre-configuration or according to a communication protocol; therefore, the UE can determine the paging packet resources based on the paging packet mode in the received first information and the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources.

[0120] In some possible implementations, the UE receives, separately or simultaneously, first information from the base station for determining the paging packet mode supported by the base station, and relationship information indicating the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources. Therefore, the UE can determine the paging packet resources based on the paging packet mode in the received first information and the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources indicated in the relationship information. The relationship information indicating the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources can be sent through the first information or through any other message.

[0121] An information processing method provided in this disclosure, executed by a UE, may include: receiving first information, wherein the first information includes: paging packet resource information.

[0122] This disclosure provides an information processing method, executed by a UE, which may include: receiving first information, wherein the first information includes paging packet information and paging packet resource information. Here, the first information may also include relationship information indicating the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources.

[0123] Here, the paging packet information indicates the paging packet, and the paging packet method used by the paging packet is the paging packet method supported by the base station; the paging packet resource information indicates the paging packet resources allocated to the paging packet indicated by the paging packet information.

[0124] In one embodiment, the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources includes: one paging packet mapping to one or more paging packet resources; or, multiple paging packets mapping to one or more paging packet resources. For details, please refer to the description on the base station side, which will not be repeated here.

[0125] An information processing method provided in this embodiment, executed by a UE, may include: receiving relationship information indicating a mapping relationship between paging groups and paging group resources; wherein the mapping relationship between paging groups and paging group resources includes: one paging group mapping one or more paging group resources; or, multiple paging groups mapping one or more paging group resources.

[0126] In one embodiment, the paging packet method includes at least one of the following: a network-assigned paging packet method; a paging packet method based on the user equipment identifier (UE-ID).

[0127] In one embodiment, step S42 includes: in response to a received explicit indication or implicit indication, determining whether the base station supports the network-assigned paging packet method, or determining that the base station does not support the network-assigned paging packet method, or that the base station does not support the network-assigned paging packet method but supports the UE-ID paging packet method, or that the base station does not support both the network-assigned paging packet method and the UE-ID paging packet method, or that the base station does not support both the network-assigned paging packet method and the UE-ID paging packet method.

[0128] In one possible implementation, explicit support means that the base station indicates this through a specific indicator or a specific signaling information element (IE).

[0129] In one possible implementation, step S42 includes at least one of the following:

[0130] In response to the first information, including relational information indicating the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources, the base station determines the paging packet mode allocated by the network.

[0131] In response to the first information including paging packet resource information, it is determined that the base station does not support the paging packet method allocated by the network;

[0132] In response to the first information including paging packet resource information, it is determined that the base station does not support the paging packet method allocated by the network but supports the paging packet method of UE-ID;

[0133] In response to the fact that the first information does not include paging packet resource information, it is determined that the base station does not support the paging packet method allocated by the network and the paging packet method that does not support UE-ID.

[0134] In one embodiment, in response to first information including relationship information indicating a mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources, the base station determines the paging packet mode to be allocated by the network, including at least one of the following:

[0135] In response to the first information including relationship information indicating the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources, it is determined that the base station supports paging packet methods allocated by the network but does not support paging packet methods for UE-ID; wherein, the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources is that one paging packet or multiple paging packets map to one paging packet resource;

[0136] In response to the first information including relationship information indicating the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources, the base station determines the paging packet mode allocated by the network and the paging packet mode that supports UE-ID; wherein, the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources is one paging packet mapping or multiple paging packets mapping one or more paging packet resources.

[0137] It should be noted that those skilled in the art will understand that the methods provided in the embodiments of this disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of this disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

[0138] This disclosure provides an information processing method executed by a UE, comprising: in response to first information including relationship information indicating a mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources, determining a paging packet mode that the base station supports for network allocation.

[0139] like Figure 5 As shown, this disclosure provides an information processing method, executed by a UE, including:

[0140] Step S51: In response to the first information including relationship information indicating the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources, determine the paging packet resources of the paging packet where the UE is located based on the relationship information.

[0141] This disclosure provides an information processing method executed by a UE, comprising: responding to first information including relation information indicating a mapping relationship between paging groups and paging group resources, wherein the relation information includes paging group information of the paging group to which the UE is located; and determining the paging group resources of the paging group to which the UE is located based on the relation information.

[0142] This disclosure provides an information processing method executed by a UE, comprising: responding to first information including relationship information indicating a mapping relationship between paging groups and paging group resources, and the relationship information including paging group information of the paging group where the UE is located; if it is determined that the mapping relationship is one paging group or multiple paging groups mapping one paging group resource, then determining the paging group resource used by the paging group where the UE is located based on the relationship information.

[0143] For example, the first information received by the UE includes the following relationship information: paging group 1 maps to paging group resource 1, paging group 2 or 3 maps to paging group resource 2, and paging group 3 maps to paging group resource 3. If the paging group to which the UE is located is paging group 1, then it is determined that the relationship information provided by the base station includes the paging group information of the paging group to which the UE is located. Furthermore, if the UE determines that the mapping relationship in the relationship information is one paging group or multiple paging groups mapping to one paging group resource, then the UE can determine that the paging group resource to which paging group 1 is located is paging group resource 1 based on the paging group 1 to which the UE is located and the mapping relationship.

[0144] This disclosure provides an information processing method executed by a UE, comprising: responding to first information including relationship information indicating a mapping relationship between paging groups and paging group resources, and the relationship information including paging group information of the paging group where the UE is located; if it is determined that the mapping relationship is one paging group or multiple paging groups mapping multiple paging group resources, then determining multiple paging group resources mapped by the paging group where the UE is located based on the relationship information; and selecting one paging group resource from the multiple paging group resources based on the paging group mode of the UE-ID and determining it as the paging group resource of the paging group where the UE is located.

[0145] For example, the first information received by the UE includes the following relationship information: paging group 1 maps to paging group resources 1 and 2, paging group 2 or 3 maps to paging group resources 3 or 4, and paging group 3 maps to paging group resources 5 or 6. If the paging group to which the UE is located is paging group 1, then it is determined that the relationship information provided by the base station includes the paging group information of the paging group to which the UE is located. Furthermore, if the UE determines that the mapping relationship included in this relationship information is one or more paging groups mapping multiple paging group resources, then the UE can determine, based on the paging group 1 to which the UE is located and this mapping relationship, that the paging group resources to which paging group 1 is located are paging group resources 1 and 2; and can determine, based on the paging group method of the UE-ID, that is, according to... The formula selects one paging packet resource (wg) from paging packet resources 1 and 2 to determine the paging packet resource used by the UE's paging packet. Here, N w The total number of paging resources in the paging group where the UE is located is 2; for example, the determined paging resource (wg) can be paging resource 1.

[0146] Thus, in this embodiment of the disclosure, if the UE determines that the first information includes relationship information indicating the mapping relationship between paging groups and paging group resources, it can determine whether the relationship information includes paging group information of the paging group to which the UE is located. If it does, it can determine whether the mapping relationship included in the relationship information maps one paging group or multiple paging groups to one paging group resource; if one paging group or multiple paging groups map to one paging group resource, the paging group resource used by the paging group to which the UE is located can be accurately determined directly based on the mapping relationship. Alternatively, if one paging group or multiple paging groups map to multiple paging group resources, the multiple paging group resources mapped by the paging group to which the UE is located can be determined first based on the mapping relationship; then, based on the UE-ID paging group method, one paging group resource is determined from the multiple paging group resources as the paging group resource of the paging group to which the UE is located; thus, the UE can also accurately determine the paging group resource used by the paging group to which the UE is located. Thus, this embodiment of the disclosure allows the UE to know the paging group methods supported by the base station and the paging group resources for listening to paging at once based on the mapping relationship, which has the characteristic of low signaling overhead.

[0147] Furthermore, the embodiments disclosed herein enable the UE and the base station to achieve consistency in paging monitoring, thereby increasing the probability of successfully monitoring paging messages; and the UE does not need to be constantly awake to monitor paging, allowing the UE to monitor paging only in a suitable paging group resource, thus saving the UE's power consumption.

[0148] This disclosure provides an information processing method executed by a UE, comprising: responding to first information including relationship information indicating a mapping relationship between paging groups and paging group resources, wherein the relationship information does not include paging group information of the paging group to which the UE is located; and determining the paging group resource information of the paging group to which the UE is located based on the relationship information and the paging group method of the UE-ID.

[0149] This disclosure provides an information processing method executed by a UE, comprising: responding to first information including relationship information indicating a mapping relationship between paging groups and paging group resources, and the relationship information not including paging group information of the paging group to which the UE is located; determining a predetermined group as the paging group to which the UE is located; and determining the paging group resources of the paging group to which the predetermined group is mapped based on the paging group resources mapped to the predetermined group. Here, the predetermined group may be a paging group included in the relationship information; or, the predetermined group may be a default paging group or a set paging group. Here, the default paging group may be a paging group negotiated between the base station and the UE; the default paging group may be a paging group included in the relationship information, or it may be a paging group not included in the relationship information. Here, the predetermined paging group may be a paging group not included in the relationship information; the paging group resources mapped to the set paging group may be paging group resources not included in the relationship information.

[0150] In one embodiment, the paging packet resources of the paging packet to which the UE is located are determined based on the paging packet resources mapped from a predetermined packet, including one of the following:

[0151] If a predefined packet is mapped to a paging packet resource, then the paging packet resource mapped to the predefined packet is determined to be the paging packet resource of the paging packet in which the UE is located;

[0152] If a predefined group map includes multiple paging group resources, then based on the paging group method of the UE-ID, one paging group resource is determined from the multiple paging group resources mapped by the predefined group as the paging group resource of the paging group where the UE is located.

[0153] For example, the first information received by the UE includes the following relational information: paging group 1 maps to paging group resource 1, paging group 2 or 3 maps to paging group resource 2, and paging group 3 maps to paging group resource 3. If the paging group to which the UE is located is not paging group 1, paging group 2, or paging group 3, then it is determined that the relational information provided by the base station does not include the paging group to which the UE is located. The UE can then determine a paging group from the relational information, for example, determining that paging group 1 is a predetermined group; then the UE determines that the paging group resource of the paging group to which the UE is located is the paging group resource mapped by the predetermined group, which is paging group resource 1.

[0154] In the above example, if it is determined that the paging group to which the UE belongs is not included in the relationship information provided by the base station, the UE can also set a predetermined group, namely paging group 4; wherein, the paging group resources mapped by paging group 4 can be paging group resources other than paging group resources 1 to 3 in the relationship information. If the UE receives a broadcast from the base station of 6 paging group resources, namely paging group resources 1 to 6, the UE can determine that the paging group resources mapped by paging group 4 are: some or all of the paging group resources 4 to 6. If the UE determines that the paging group resources mapped to paging group resources are paging group resources 4 to 6, the UE can use the paging group method based on the UE-ID, that is, according to... The formula selects one paging packet resource (wg) from paging packet resources 4 to 6 to determine the paging packet resource used by the UE's paging packet. Here, N w The total number of paging resources in the paging group where the UE is located is 3; for example, the determined paging resource (wg) can be paging resource 5.

[0155] Thus, in this embodiment of the disclosure, if the UE determines that the first information includes relationship information indicating the mapping relationship between paging groups and paging group resources, it can determine whether the relationship information includes paging group information of the paging group to which the UE is located. If not, the UE can determine a predetermined group, for example, it can determine a paging group included in the relationship information or a paging group not included in the relationship information as the predetermined group. Then, based on whether the predetermined group maps to one or more paging group resources, the paging group resources of the paging group to which the UE is located are determined. If the predetermined group maps to one paging group resource, then the paging group resource is determined to be the paging group resource used by the paging group to which the UE is located; or, if the predetermined group maps to multiple paging group resources, then based on the paging grouping method of the UE-ID, one paging group resource is determined from the multiple paging group resources as the paging group resource of the paging group to which the UE is located. Thus, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, even if the paging group where the UE is located is not included in the relationship information, the appropriate paging group resources used by the paging group where the UE is located can be determined by first determining that the paging group of the UE is a predetermined group, and then determining the appropriate paging group resources used by the paging group where the UE is located based on the paging group resources of the predetermined group. In this way, the UE can know the paging group methods supported by the base station and the paging group resources for listening to paging at one time based on the mapping relationship, which has the characteristics of low signaling overhead.

[0156] Furthermore, the embodiments of this disclosure can also enable consistency in paging monitoring between the UE and the base station, increasing the probability of successfully monitoring paging messages. Moreover, the embodiments of this disclosure do not require the UE to be constantly awake to monitor paging; the UE can monitor paging only in a suitable paging group resource, thereby saving UE power consumption.

[0157] It should be noted that those skilled in the art will understand that the methods provided in the embodiments of this disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of this disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

[0158] like Figure 6 As shown, this disclosure provides an information processing method, executed by a UE, including:

[0159] Step S61: In response to the first information including relationship information indicating the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources, determine the paging packet resources of the paging packet where the UE is located based on the relationship information and the number of paging packet resources mapped by a paging packet in the relationship information.

[0160] This disclosure provides an information processing method executed by a UE, which may include: in response to first information including relationship information indicating a mapping relationship between paging groups and paging group resources, and one or more paging groups in the relationship information mapping a paging group resource, determining the paging group resource of the paging group where the UE is located based on the relationship information and the paging group where the UE is located.

[0161] For example, the first information received by the UE includes the following relationship information: paging group 1 maps to paging group resource 1, paging group 2 or 3 maps to paging group resource 2, and paging group 3 maps to paging group resource 3. Therefore, the mapping relationship in this relationship information is determined to be one paging group mapping to one paging group resource. If the paging group the UE is in is paging group 1, then the relationship information provided by the base station is determined to include the paging group information of the paging group the UE is in. Then, based on the paging group 1 the UE is in and this mapping relationship, the UE can determine that the paging group resource in paging group 1 is paging group resource 1.

[0162] In the above example, if the paging group to which the UE belongs is not paging group 1, 2, or 3, then it is determined that the relationship information provided by the base station does not include the paging group information of the paging group to which the UE belongs. Therefore, the UE determines that no paging group exists and uses the default paging resource for paging. Here, the default paging resource can be the paging resource provided by the base station.

[0163] This disclosure provides an information processing method executed by a UE, which may include: in response to first information including relationship information indicating a mapping relationship between paging groups and paging group resources, and one or more paging groups in the relationship information mapping multiple paging group resources, determining the paging group resources of the paging group where the UE is located based on the relationship information and the paging grouping method of the UE-ID.

[0164] In this embodiment of the disclosure, if the UE determines that the first information includes relationship information indicating the mapping relationship between paging groups and paging group resources, it can determine whether the mapping relationship in the relationship information is one or more paging groups mapping to one paging group resource. If yes, it determines whether the relationship information includes the paging group information of the paging group where the UE is located. If yes, the UE can directly and accurately determine the paging group resource used by the paging group where the UE is located based on the mapping relationship; if no, the UE falls back to the default paging resource where the UE is located. Alternatively, if the mapping relationship in the relationship information is one or more paging groups mapping to multiple paging group resources, it determines whether the relationship information includes the paging group information of the paging group where the UE is located. If yes, the UE determines the paging group resource of the paging group where the UE is located based on the relationship information and the UE-ID paging grouping method; if no, the UE first determines a predetermined group as the paging group where the UE is located, and determines the paging group resource of the paging group where the UE is located based on the predetermined group and / or the paging grouping method of the UE-ID. Thus, the embodiments of this disclosure can also enable the UE to determine the appropriate paging packet resources for the paging packet in which the UE is located. Based on this mapping relationship, the UE can know the paging packet methods supported by the base station and the paging packet resources for listening to paging at one time, which has the characteristics of low signaling overhead.

[0165] Furthermore, the embodiments of this disclosure also enable consistency in paging monitoring between the UE and the base station, increasing the probability of successfully monitoring paging messages. Moreover, the embodiments of this disclosure do not require the UE to be constantly awake to monitor paging; the UE can monitor paging only in a suitable paging group resource, thereby saving UE power consumption.

[0166] It should be noted that those skilled in the art will understand that the methods provided in the embodiments of this disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of this disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

[0167] This disclosure provides an information processing method executed by a UE, which may include: in response to first information including paging packet resource information, determining that the base station does not support a paging packet method allocated by the network but supports a paging packet method for the UE-ID.

[0168] like Figure 7 As shown, this disclosure provides an information processing method, executed by a UE, which may include:

[0169] Step S71: In response to the first information including paging packet resource information, determine the UE's paging packet resources based on some or all of the paging packet resources included in the paging packet resource information.

[0170] This disclosure provides an information processing method executed by a UE, which may include: in response to first information including paging packet resource information, determining a predetermined packet as the paging packet to which the UE is located; determining the paging packet resource of the predetermined packet from some or all of the paging packet resources included in the paging resources; and determining the paging packet resource of the UE based on the paging packet resource mapped from the predetermined packet.

[0171] For example, when a UE receives paging packet resource information broadcast by a base station, indicating paging packet resources including paging packet resources 1, 2, 3, and 4, the UE can determine that the paging packet resources used for modulo UE-ID are all or part of paging packet resources 1 to 4. For instance, the paging packet resources for modulo UE-ID are determined to be resource packet resources 1 to 4; or, the paging packet resources for modulo UE-ID paging packet mode are determined to be resource packet resources 1 to 2; or, the paging packet resources for modulo UE-ID are determined to be resource packet resources 2, 3, and 4; or, the paging packet resources for modulo UE-ID are determined to be resource packet resource 1; and so on. Here, in one embodiment, the paging packet resources for modulo UE-ID are the paging packet resources of the predetermined packet mapping.

[0172] Thus, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, if the UE determines that the first information includes paging packet resource information indicating paging packet resources, it can first determine the paging packet to which the UE is located, and then determine the paging packet resource mapped to the paging packet to which the UE is located from the paging packet resources included in the first information. If the paging packet resource to which the UE is located maps to one paging packet resource, then that paging packet resource is directly determined as the paging packet resource of the paging packet to which the UE is located; if the paging packet resource to which the UE is located maps to multiple paging packet resources, then based on the multiple paging packet resources and the UE paging packet method, one paging packet resource is determined as the paging packet resource of the paging packet to which the UE is located. Thus, this embodiment of the present disclosure can obtain the appropriate paging packet resource of the paging packet to which the UE is located even when only paging packet resource information is received but no relationship information indicating the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources is received, thereby increasing the probability that the UE can receive paging normally and reducing the UE's power consumption.

[0173] This disclosure provides an information processing method executed by a UE, which may include: in response to a first message not including paging packet resource information, determining a predetermined paging resource as the UE's paging resource. Here, in one embodiment, the predetermined paging resource can be all POWs. Thus, in this disclosure, if the UE does not receive paging resource information, the UE determines that the base station does not support the network-allocated paging packet method and does not support the UE-ID-based paging packet method; therefore, the UE can directly listen for paging at relatively more paging opportunities to maximize the chances of paging messages being received.

[0174] It should be noted that those skilled in the art will understand that the methods provided in the embodiments of this disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of this disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

[0175] To further explain any embodiment of this disclosure, a specific embodiment is provided below.

[0176] This disclosure provides an information processing method, which may include the following steps:

[0177] Step 1: The base station determines the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources; wherein, the mapping relationship is used to determine the paging packet modes supported by the base station;

[0178] Here, the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources can be: one paging packet maps to one paging packet resource or multiple paging packet resources; such mapping relationship is shown in Table 1 for example.

[0179] Here, the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources can be: multiple paging packets map to one paging packet resource or multiple paging packet resources; such mapping relationship is shown in Table 2 for example.

[0180] Step 2: The base station broadcasts first information, wherein the first information includes relational information indicating the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources, or the first information includes paging packet resource information;

[0181] Step 31: The UE receives the first information; if the UE determines that the first information includes relationship information indicating the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources, then the UE determines the paging packet method allocated by the network supported by the base station, or determines the paging packet method allocated by the network supported by the base station and the paging packet method supporting the UE-ID. The UE can then perform the following two actions:

[0182] Behavior 1: The UE determines that the relationship information includes the paging group to which the UE belongs.

[0183] If the UE determines that the relationship information includes the paging group to which the UE is located and determines that the relationship information includes one or more paging groups mapping a paging group resource, then the UE determines the paging group resource of the paging group to which the UE is located based on the relationship information.

[0184] If the UE determines that the relationship information includes the paging group to which the UE is located and that the relationship information includes one or more paging groups mapping multiple paging group resources, then the UE determines multiple paging group resources of the paging group to which the UE is located based on the relationship information, and determines one paging group resource from the multiple paging group resources as the paging group resource of the paging group to which the UE is located based on the modulo method of the UE-ID.

[0185] Behavior 2: The UE's relationship information does not include the paging packet to which the UE is located, or the UE has not been assigned a paging packet by the network.

[0186] If the UE determines that the relationship information does not include the paging group to which the UE belongs, or that the UE has not been assigned a paging group by the network, then it determines the predetermined group as the paging group to which the UE belongs. Here, the predetermined group can be selected randomly from the paging groups included in the relationship information, or it can be the default paging group or a set paging group.

[0187] If the UE determines that a predefined packet is mapped to a paging packet resource, then the paging packet mapped to the predefined packet is determined to be the paging packet resource of the paging packet in which the UE is located;

[0188] If the UE determines that a predefined group map includes multiple paging group resources, it will determine one paging group resource from the multiple paging group resources mapped to the predefined group based on the modulo method of the UE-ID, which is the paging group resource of the paging group where the UE is located.

[0189] Here, one or more predefined packets can be identified as the paging packets to which the UE belongs. If multiple predefined packets are identified as the paging packets to which the UE belongs, the UE selects a paging packet to which the UE belongs from the multiple predefined packets according to the modulo method of the UE-ID; then, the paging packet resources of the paging packet to which the UE belongs are determined from one or more paging packet resources mapped to the predefined packet according to the modulo method of the UE-ID.

[0190] Here, the pre-defined group can be one or more paging groups in the mapping relationship between paging group information broadcast by the base station and paging group resources; for example, paging groups as shown in Table 1 or 2.

[0191] Here, the predetermined group can be a new paging group or a set of paging groups; the new paging group or set of paging groups refers to paging groups not included in the mapping relationship broadcast by the base station. Here, the paging group set consists of multiple paging groups. In one embodiment, the UE selects a portion of the paging group resources from the mapping relationship between the paging groups broadcast by the base station and the paging group resources to form the paging group resources of the predetermined group. In one embodiment, the UE selects a portion of the paging group resources from the mapping relationship between paging groups not broadcast by the base station and the paging group resources to form the paging group resources of the predetermined group. For example, if the base station broadcasts 10 paging group resources, but only 6 paging group resources are used in the mapping relationship between the paging groups broadcast by the base station and the paging group resources, then the remaining 4 paging group resources form the paging group resources of the predetermined group.

[0192] Step 32: The UE receives the first information; if the UE determines that the first information includes relationship information indicating the mapping relationship between paging packets and paging packet resources, then it determines the paging packet method supported by the base station and the network allocation method; and based on the number of paging packet resources mapped by one or more paging packets in the relationship information, it determines whether the base station supports the paging packet method based on UE-ID. Determining whether the base station supports the paging packet method based on UE-ID includes the following two cases:

[0193] Case 1: If the relationship information includes one or more paging packets mapping to a paging packet resource, it is determined that the base station does not support the paging packet method based on UE-ID;

[0194] Scenario 2: If the relationship information includes one or more paging packets mapping multiple paging packet resources, it is determined that the base station supports the paging packet method based on UE-ID.

[0195] Furthermore, the UE can also perform the following actions to determine whether the relationship information includes the paging packet to which the UE belongs:

[0196] Action 3: For case 1, if the relationship information includes the paging group where the UE is located, then the paging resource information of the paging group where the UE is located is determined based on the relationship information; if the relationship does not include the paging group where the UE is located, then the default paging resource is determined to be the paging resource of the UE.

[0197] Action 4: For Case 2, if the relationship information includes the paging group where the UE is located, the UE determines multiple paging group resources of the paging group where the UE is located based on the relationship information, and determines one paging group resource from the multiple paging group resources based on the modulo method of the UE-ID as the paging group resource of the paging group where the UE is located; if the relationship information does not include the paging group where the UE is located, the UE determines a predetermined group as the paging group where the UE is located, and determines the paging group resource of the paging group where the UE is located based on the paging group resource mapped by the predetermined group and the paging group method based on the UE-ID.

[0198] Step 33: The UE receives the first information; if the UE determines that the first information includes paging packet resource information, it determines that the base station does not support the paging packet method allocated by the network but supports the paging packet method based on the UE-ID. The UE can also perform the following actions:

[0199] Action 5: Determine all or part of the multiple paging group resources indicated in the paging group resource information as candidate paging group resources for the paging group where the UE is located; if there is only one candidate paging group resource, then determine that one paging group resource as the paging group resource for the paging group where the UE is located; if there are multiple candidate paging group resources, then determine one paging group resource from the multiple paging group resource groups as the paging group resource for the paging group where the UE is located based on the modulo method of UE-ID.

[0200] Step 34: The UE receives the first information; if the UE determines that the first information does not include paging packet resource information, it determines that the base station does not support the paging packet method allocated by the network and does not support the paging packet method based on UE-ID.
