Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication, and more particularly, to a method of communication and a communication apparatus. BACKGROUND

[0002] There is a false alarm problem in the existing paging mechanism, that is, after a terminal receives and decodes a paging message, it is found that the network actually does not page the terminal. The terminal will produce unnecessary power consumption in the case of false alarm. The scheme to reduce false alarm includes dividing the terminals listening to the same paging occasion into different groups, however, as the terminals continue to move, or the number of terminals in the network changes, the network may not be able to understand the related information of false alarm, thereby causing communication problems. SUMMARY

[0003] The present application provides a method of communication to optimize the communication about false alarm.

[0004] In a first aspect, a method of communication is provided, which can include: determining, by a terminal device, first information, the first information including paging false alarm information of the terminal device, or the first information being used to indicate a paging false alarm situation of the terminal device; and sending, by the terminal device, the first information to a first network device.

[0005] Based on the above technical solution, by reporting the first information to the network device by the terminal device, the network device can determine the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device according to the first information, so as to facilitate the network device to adjust the grouping of the terminal device according to the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device.

[0006] The paging false alarm situation of the terminal device can include that the paging false alarm of the terminal device is serious or the paging false alarm of the terminal device is normal. The paging false alarm of the terminal device being serious can mean that the number of times of false alarm of the terminal device is greater than or equal to a first threshold, and / or the probability of false alarm of the terminal device is greater than or equal to a second threshold. The paging false alarm of the terminal device being normal can mean that the number of times of false alarm of the terminal device is less than the first threshold, and / or the probability of false alarm of the terminal device is less than the second threshold.

[0007] The paging false alarm situation of the terminal device indicated by the first information can include the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in at least one cell in which the terminal device resides, the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in at least one group to which the terminal device belongs, or the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in a group to which at least one cell belongs.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the terminal device indicates the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in at least one cell and / or group to the network device through the first information, so that the network device can determine whether the paging false alarm of the terminal device in at least one cell and / or group is serious according to the first information, thereby facilitating the network device to adjust and optimize at least one (cell) group to avoid subsequent possible paging false alarm problems.

[0009] The paging false alarm information included in the first information can include the number of times of paging false alarm of the terminal device and / or the probability of paging false alarm.

[0010] In a possible implementation, the paging false alarm information included in the first information can include paging false alarm information of the terminal device in a first time period, and the first time period includes at least one preset time period.

[0011] Based on the above technical solution, the terminal device indicates the paging false alarm information of the terminal device in the first time period to the network device through the first information, so that the network device can determine whether the paging false alarm of the terminal device in the first time period is serious according to the first information, thereby facilitating the network device to adjust and optimize the grouping of the terminal device in the first time period to avoid subsequent possible paging false alarm problems.

[0012] In another possible implementation, the paging false alarm information included in the first information includes at least one first paging false alarm information, and the at least one first paging false alarm information is cell specific. The first paging false alarm situation is cell specific, and it can also be understood that the first paging false alarm situation corresponds to a cell. For example, the first paging false alarm situation and the cell can be in a one-to-one correspondence, or the first paging false alarm situation and the cell can be in a many-to-one correspondence.

[0013] In yet another possible implementation, the paging false alarm information included in the first information includes at least one second paging false alarm information, and the at least one second paging false alarm information is group specific. The second paging false alarm situation is group specific, and it can also be understood that the second paging false alarm situation corresponds to a group. For example, the second paging false alarm situation and the group can be in a one-to-one correspondence, or the second paging false alarm situation and the group can be in a many-to-one correspondence.

[0014] In yet another possible implementation manner, the first information includes paging false alarm information, and the paging false alarm information includes at least one third paging false alarm information, the at least one third paging false alarm information being cell-group specific. The third paging false alarm condition is cell-group specific, and it can also be understood that the third paging false alarm condition corresponds to a cell group. For example, the third paging false alarm condition and the cell group can be in a one-to-one correspondence, or the third paging false alarm condition and the cell group can be in a many-to-one correspondence.

[0015] Based on the above technical solution, the terminal device indicates, to the network device, the paging false alarm information of the terminal device in at least one cell and / or group through the first information, so that the network device can determine whether the paging false alarm of the terminal device in at least one cell and / or group is serious according to the first information, thereby facilitating the network device to adjust and optimize at least one group (of a cell) to avoid possible subsequent paging false alarm problems.

[0016] In combination with the first aspect, in some implementation manners of the first aspect, the first information further includes information of at least one cell in which the terminal device resides and / or information of at least one group to which the terminal device belongs.

[0017] In combination with the first aspect, in some implementation manners of the first aspect, the paging false alarm information included in the first information corresponds to a cell that satisfies the following conditions: a number of times of paging false alarm of the terminal device is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, and / or a probability of paging false alarm of the terminal device is greater than or equal to a second threshold value. The paging false alarm condition indicated by the first information corresponds to a cell that satisfies the following conditions: a number of times of paging false alarm of the terminal device is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, and / or a probability of paging false alarm of the terminal device is greater than or equal to a second threshold value.

The paging false alarm condition indicated by the first information corresponds to a group that satisfies the following conditions: a number of times of paging false alarm of the terminal device is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, and / or a probability of paging false alarm of the terminal device is greater than or equal to a second threshold value.

For example, when the terminal device camps on the cell 1, the terminal device receives the first indication information from the second network device, and when the terminal device sends the first information, the terminal device still camps on the cell 1. That is, the first network device and the second network device are network devices belonging to the same cell, that is, the first network device and the second network device can be the same network device. For another example, when the terminal device camps on the cell 1, the terminal device receives the first indication information from the second network device, and when the terminal device sends the first information, the terminal device camps on the cell 2. That is, the first network device and the second network device are network devices belonging to different cells, that is, the first network device and the second network device can be different network devices.

The 5G mobile communication system can include non-standalone (NSA) and / or standalone (SA).

[0083] The technical solutions provided in the present application can also be applied to machine type communication (MTC), long term evolution-machine (LTE-M), device-to-device (D2D) network, machine to machine (M2M) network, internet of things (IoT) network or other network. The IoT network may, for example, include a vehicle internet. In the vehicle internet system, the communication mode is collectively referred to as vehicle to X (V2X, X can represent any thing), for example, the V2X can include vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication, vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) communication, vehicle to pedestrian (V2P) communication or vehicle to network (V2N) communication, etc.

[0084] The technical solutions provided in the application can also be applied to future communication systems, such as a sixth-generation mobile communication system. The application does not limit this.

[0085] In the embodiments of the application, the network device can be any device with wireless transceiving function. The device includes but is not limited to: an evolved Node B (eNB), a radio network controller (RNC), a Node B (NB), a base station controller (BSC), a base transceiver station (BTS), a home base station (for example, a home evolved Node B or a home Node B, HNB), a baseband unit (BBU), an access point (AP) in a wireless fidelity (WiFi) system, a wireless relay node, a wireless backhaul node, a transmission point (TP), or a transmission and reception point (TRP), and the like, and can also be a gNB or a transmission point (TRP or TP) in a 5G, such as an NR, system, one or a group (including multiple antenna panels) of antenna panels of a base station in a 5G system, or a network node constituting a gNB or a transmission point, such as a baseband unit (BBU) or a distributed unit (DU).

[0086] In some deployments, a gNB can include a centralized unit (CU) and a DU. The gNB can also include an active antenna unit (AAU). The CU implements part of the functions of the gNB, and the DU implements part of the functions of the gNB, for example, the CU is responsible for processing non-real-time protocols and services, implementing the radio resource control (RRC), the functions of the packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer. The DU is responsible for processing the physical layer protocol and real-time services, implementing the functions of the radio link control (RLC) layer, the medium access control (MAC) layer and the physical (PHY) layer. The AAU implements part of the physical layer processing function, the radio frequency processing and the related function of the active antenna. Since the information of the RRC layer will eventually become the information of the PHY layer, or be transformed from the information of the PHY layer, therefore, under this architecture, high layer signaling, such as RRC layer signaling, can also be considered as being sent by the DU, or by the DU+AAU. It can be understood that the network device can be a device including one or more of the CU node, the DU node and the AAU node. In addition, the CU can be divided into a network device in the radio access network (RAN), or can be divided into a network device in the core network (CN), which is not limited in the present application.

The cell can belong to a macro base station (for example, a macro eNB or a macro gNB, etc.), or a base station corresponding to a small cell. The small cell can include a metro cell, a micro cell, a pico cell, a femto cell, etc., which have the characteristics of small coverage and low transmit power, and are suitable for providing high-speed data transmission services.

[0088] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device can also be referred to as a user equipment (UE), an access terminal, a user unit, a user station, a mobile station, a mobile station, a remote station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a user terminal, a terminal, a wireless communication device, a user agent or a user device.

[0090] Among them, the wearable device can also be called a wearable smart device, which is a general term for devices that are designed and developed by applying wearable technology to daily wear, such as glasses, gloves, watches, clothing, and shoes. The wearable device is a portable device that is directly worn on the body or integrated into the user's clothes or accessories. The wearable device is not only a hardware device, but also a powerful function realized through software support and data interaction, cloud interaction. The general wearable smart device includes functions, large size, and can realize complete or partial functions without relying on a smart phone, such as a smart watch or smart glasses, and focuses on a certain application function and needs to cooperate with other devices such as a smart phone, such as various smart wristbands and smart jewelry for monitoring vital signs.

[0091] In addition, the terminal device can also be a terminal device in an internet of things (IoT) system. The IoT is an important part of future information technology development, and its main technical feature is to connect objects through communication technology and network, so as to realize the intelligent network of man-machine interconnection and object-object interconnection. IoT technology can achieve massive connection, deep coverage and terminal power saving through, for example, narrowband (NB) technology.

For example, the network device can send configuration information to the terminal device, and the terminal device can send uplink data to the network device based on the configuration information; for another example, the network device can send downlink data to the terminal device. Therefore, Figure 1 The network device 101 and the terminal devices 102 to 107 in

[0094] Optionally, the terminal devices can communicate directly. For example, the direct communication between the terminal devices can be achieved by using D2D technology and the like. As shown in the figure, the terminal devices 105 and 106, the terminal devices 105 and 107 can communicate directly by using D2D technology. The terminal device 106 and the terminal device 107 can communicate with the terminal device 105 separately or simultaneously.

[0095] Terminal devices 105 to 107 can also communicate with network device 101 respectively. For example, they can communicate directly with network device 101, as shown in the figure where terminal devices 105 and 106 can communicate directly with network device 101; they can also communicate indirectly with network device 101, as shown in the figure where terminal device 107 communicates with network device 101 via terminal device 105.

[0096] It should be understood that Figure 1 An exemplary diagram illustrates a network device and multiple terminal devices, as well as communication links between the communication devices. Optionally, the communication system 100 may include multiple network devices, and the coverage area of ​​each network device may include other numbers of terminal devices, such as more or fewer terminal devices. This application does not limit this.

[0097] The aforementioned communication devices, such as Figure 1 The network device 101 and terminal devices 102 to 107 can be configured with multiple antennas. These multiple antennas may include at least one transmitting antenna for transmitting signals and at least one receiving antenna for receiving signals. Additionally, each communication device also includes a transmitter chain and a receiver chain, which, as will be understood by those skilled in the art, may include multiple components (e.g., processors, modulators, multiplexers, demodulators, demultiplexers, or antennas) related to signal transmission and reception. Therefore, the network device and the terminal device can communicate via multi-antenna technology.

[0098] Optionally, the wireless communication system 100 may also include other network entities such as a network controller and a mobility management entity, but the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto.

[0099] The following is a brief introduction to the terminology used in this application.

[0100] 1. Camp stay:

[0101] When a UE camps on a cell, it means that the UE has completed the cell selection / reselection process and has selected a cell. The UE can listen to system information (SI) on that cell, and in most cases, listen to paging information.

[0102] 2. Paging: The network can notify the UE in RRC idle state (RRC_IDLE) or RRC inactive state (RRC_INACTIVE) to receive a paging message through paging, or the network can send a short message to the UE in RRC_IDLE / RRC_INACTIVE / RRC connected state (RRC_CONNECTED) through paging to indicate SI update or earthquake and tsunami warning system (ETWS) / commercial mobile alert service (CAMS).

[0103] As shown in Figure 2 , the UE in RRC idle state or RRC inactive state listens to its own paging occasion (PO) in each paging cycle to determine whether the network has paged.

[0104] The UE calculates its PO position according to its UE identification information and paging-related parameters according to the calculation formula specified in the protocol. The PO positions calculated by different UEs may be the same, i.e., there may be multiple UEs listening to the same PO.

[0105] The basic flow of paging is as follows:

[0106] (1) The network selects a certain paging range and sends paging downlink control information (DCI) in the PO.

[0107] Among them:

[0108] The paging range is the area in which the network sends the paging. The area is determined by the network, for example, for the UE in RRC idle state, the network can take the tracking area (TA) to which the UE belongs as the paging range; for the UE in RRC inactive state, the network can take the RAN notification area (RNA) to which the UE belongs as the paging range.

[0109] The paging DCI can include scheduling information of the paging message (including time-frequency domain information of the resource scheduling the paging message and other scheduling information) and / or short message, etc., and the specific content is shown in Table 1:

[0110] Table 1

[0111]

[0112] (2) After the UE receives the paging DCI sent by the network, the subsequent operation is determined according to the content of the paging DCI, as follows:

[0113] If the scheduling information of the paging message is included in the paging DCI, the UE receives and decodes the paging message on the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) according to the scheduling information, and then determines the subsequent operation according to the content of the paging message. The paging message contains the UE identification information of one or more UEs paged by the network and / or the access type information of the paged UE. After the UE decodes the paging message, it determines whether its own UE identification is included in the paging message:

[0114] If the paging message does not contain its own UE identification information, the UE ignores the paging message;

[0115] If the paging message contains its own UE identification information, the UE determines the subsequent operation according to other contents in the paging message.

[0116] If the paging DCI contains a short message, the UE receives updated system information and / or earthquake tsunami warning / commercial mobile alert according to the indication of the short message.

[0117] If the paging DCI includes the scheduling information of the paging message, i.e. the short message, the UE receives the paging message, as well as the updated system information and / or earthquake tsunami warning / commercial mobile alert, according to the specified process.

[0118] According to different network elements that trigger paging, paging can be divided into: core network (CN) triggered CN paging; RAN triggered RAN paging. The network can initiate CN paging for UEs in RRC idle state, and can initiate CN paging or RAN paging for UEs in RRC deactivation state.

[0119] 3. Wake up signal (WUS) mechanism:

[0120] Power saving signal is a signal introduced for the purpose of UE power saving, and WUS belongs to a kind of power saving signal. There can be multiple types of WUS, including DCI, physical layer signal / sequence, MAC control element (CE), RRC signaling, etc. As shown in Figure 3 For the paging process, the network can send WUS before or on the PO to indicate whether the UE needs to monitor the PO or receive the paging message next, to avoid unnecessary reception of paging by the UE.

[0121] 4. False alarm during paging:

[0122] The existing paging mechanism suffers from false alarms, meaning that after a UE receives and decodes a paging message, it discovers that the network has not actually paged the UE. In other words, if a UE receives a paging message that does not belong to it, it considers a false alarm to have occurred.

[0123] The main reason for false paging alarms is the presence of multiple UEs listening to the same PO. When multiple UEs are listening to the same PO, according to the existing mechanism, when a UE receives a paging DCI, it only obtains the scheduling information of the paging message and cannot distinguish whether the paging message is specifically for itself. The UE can only determine whether the paging is for itself after subsequently receiving and decoding the paging message on the PDSCH, based on the UE identifier in the paging message. Therefore, for UEs that are not actually paging, there is unnecessary PDSCH reception and decoding, resulting in unnecessary UE power consumption.

[0124] 5. UE grouping:

[0125] UE packetization is one of the solutions to reduce paging false alarms. The basic idea and process of this solution are as follows:

[0126] Grouping UEs (listening to the same PO) into different groups. A simple example: Suppose UE1, UE2, UE3, UE4, and UE5 are listening to the same PO1, then these UEs can be divided into 3 groups: group1 contains UE1 and UE2, group2 contains UE3 and UE4, and group3 contains UE5.

[0127] When paging, the network indicates the group information to which the UE belongs in this paging call. This group information can be a group identifier, etc., and can be carried in the paging DCI or power-saving signal (e.g., WUS). A simple example: if the paging is for UE1, the network indicates the group information for UE1; if the paging is for both UE1 and UE5, the network indicates the group information for both UE1 and UE3.

[0128] When a UE receives a paging message, it can determine whether the paging is for its own group based on the relevant group indication information. If it is for its own group, the UE will receive and decode the paging message according to the original mechanism; otherwise, if it is not for its own group, the UE will not receive and decode the paging message.

[0129] Therefore, the UE grouping scheme can reduce the probability of unnecessary reception and decoding of the paging message by the UE, thereby reducing the additional power consumption of the UE.

[0130] The UE grouping scheme can be implemented in the following ways.

[0131] Method 1: The network (for example, a base station) sends / broadcasts UE grouping related parameters (for example, the total number of groups); the UE calculates the group to which it belongs according to the UE grouping related parameters, for example, calculates the group number of the UE.

[0132] Method 2: The network assigns a group to the UE. For example, the network sends the group number to which the UE in the RRC connected state belongs, and the UE uses the group number obtained in the RRC connected state after entering the RRC idle state or the RRC inactive state; or the network can also send or update the group number to which the UE in the RRC idle state or the RRC inactive state belongs through paging, tracking area update (TAU), RAN-based notification area update (RNAU), and the like.

[0133] Embodiments of the present application provide a communication method to optimize the communication related to paging false alarm. The communication method provided by the embodiments of the present application is described below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0134] Figure 4 A schematic flowchart of the communication method provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown. As shown in FIG. 4, the method 400 can include S410-S430, and each step is described in detail below. Figure 4

[0135] S410, the terminal device determines first information.

[0136] The terminal device can be a terminal device in a non-connected state, for example, the terminal device can be a terminal device in an RRC idle state or a terminal device in an RRC inactive state.

[0137] In one possible implementation, the first information can include paging false alarm information of the terminal device. The paging false alarm information can include at least one of the following: the number of times of paging false alarm of the terminal device, and the probability of paging false alarm of the terminal device. The number of times of paging false alarm of the terminal device is the number of times that the terminal device receives and decodes the paging message but is not actually paged. The probability of paging false alarm = the number of times of paging false alarm ÷ the total number of times of being paged.

[0138] The granularity of the paging false alarm information is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0139] ​As an example, the paging false alarm information can include at least one first paging false alarm information, which is cell specific. That is, the paging false alarm information is counted in a cell granularity. That is, the first paging false alarm information can be counted for a cell in which the terminal device resides. In this case, the first paging false alarm information can include: a number of times of false alarms of the terminal device in the residing cell, and / or a probability of false alarms of the terminal device in the residing cell.

[0140] The at least one first paging false alarm information is cell specific, and it can also be understood that the at least one first paging false alarm information corresponds to a cell. For example, the at least one first paging false alarm information can be in a one-to-one correspondence with the cell, or the at least one first paging false alarm information can be in a many-to-one correspondence with the cell.

[0141] For example, the terminal device has resided in cell 1, cell 2, and cell 3, and the paging false alarm information can include three first paging false alarm information corresponding to the three cells respectively. That is, the paging false alarm information can include: first paging false alarm information of the terminal device when residing in cell 1, first paging false alarm information of the terminal device when residing in cell 2, and first paging false alarm information of the terminal device when residing in cell 3. Taking the first paging false alarm information of the terminal device when residing in cell 1 as an example, the first paging false alarm information of the terminal device when residing in cell 1 can include a number of times of false alarms of the terminal device in cell 1 and / or a probability of false alarms.

[0142] For another example, the terminal device has resided in cell 1, cell 2, and cell 3, and taking the number of times of false alarms as an example when the terminal device counts the paging false alarm information, if the number of times of false alarms of the terminal device in cell 1 is the same as that in cell 2, and the number of times of false alarms of the terminal device in cell 3 is different from that in cell 1 / cell 2, the paging false alarm information can include two first paging false alarm information, one of which corresponds to cell 1 and cell 2, and the other of which corresponds to cell 3.

[0143] As a further example, the paging false alarm information can comprise at least one second paging false alarm information, which is group specific. That is, the paging false alarm information is counted in a granularity of group. As described above, in order to reduce the probability of paging false alarm of the terminal device, the terminal devices (listening to the same PO) can be grouped. In the case that the network groups the terminal devices, the terminal device can count the paging false alarm information in a granularity of group. That is, the second paging false alarm information can be counted for a group when the terminal device belongs to the group, in which case, the second paging false alarm information can comprise: the number of times of paging false alarm of the terminal device in the group, and / or, the probability of paging false alarm of the terminal device in the group.

[0144] The at least one second paging false alarm information is group specific, which can also be understood as that the at least one second paging false alarm information corresponds to a group. For example, the at least one second paging false alarm information and the group can be in a one-to-one correspondence, or the at least one second paging false alarm information and the group can be in a many-to-one correspondence.

[0145] For example, the group to which the terminal device belongs comprises group 1, group 2, and group 3, and the paging false alarm information can comprise three second paging false alarm information corresponding to the three groups respectively. That is, the paging false alarm information can comprise: the second paging false alarm information when the terminal device belongs to group 1, the second paging false alarm information when the terminal device belongs to group 2, and the second paging false alarm information when the terminal device belongs to group 3. Taking the second paging false alarm information when the terminal device belongs to group 1 as an example, the second paging false alarm information when the terminal device belongs to group 1 can comprise the number of times of paging false alarm and / or the probability of paging false alarm when the terminal device belongs to group 1.

[0146] For another example, the group to which the terminal device belongs comprises group 1, group 2, and group 3, and taking the case that the terminal device only counts the number of times of paging false alarm when counting the paging false alarm information as an example, if the number of times of paging false alarm of the terminal device in group 1 is the same as that in group 2, and the number of times of paging false alarm of the terminal device in group 3 is different from that in group 1 / group 2, the paging false alarm information can comprise two second paging false alarm information, one of which corresponds to group 1 and group 2, and the other of which corresponds to group 3.

[0147] As another example, the paging false alarm information can comprise at least one third paging false alarm information, which is cell-group specific. That is, the third paging false alarm information is counted in a granularity of a group within a cell. That is, the third paging false alarm information can be counted for a group to which the terminal device belongs within a cell when the terminal device camps on the cell.

[0148] The at least one third paging false alarm information being cell-group specific can also be understood as the at least one third paging false alarm information corresponding to a cell-group. For example, the at least one third paging false alarm information can be in a one-to-one correspondence with a cell-group, or the at least one third paging false alarm information can be in a many-to-one correspondence with a cell-group.

[0149] For example, the terminal device camps on both cell 1 and cell 2, and the terminal device belongs to group 1 of cell 1 and group 2 of cell 1 when the terminal device camps on cell 1, and the terminal device belongs to group 1 of cell 2 when the terminal device camps on cell 2. The paging false alarm information can comprise: the third paging false alarm information when the terminal device camps on cell 1 and belongs to group 1, the third paging false alarm information when the terminal device camps on cell 1 and belongs to group 2, and the third paging false alarm information when the terminal device camps on cell 2 and belongs to group 1.

[0150] For another example, the terminal device camps on both cell 1 and cell 2, and the terminal device belongs to group 1 of cell 1 and group 2 of cell 1 when the terminal device camps on cell 1, and the terminal device belongs to group 1 of cell 2 when the terminal device camps on cell 2. Taking an example in which the terminal device only counts the number of times of paging false alarms when counting the paging false alarm information, if the number of times of paging false alarms of group 1 of cell 1 is the same as the number of times of paging false alarms of group 1 of cell 2, and the number of times of paging false alarms of group 2 of cell 1 is different from the number of times of paging false alarms of group 2 of cell 1 / group 2 of cell 2, the paging false alarm information can comprise two third paging false alarm information, one of which corresponds to group 1 of cell 1 and group 1 of cell 2, and the other corresponds to group 2 of cell 1.

[0151] As a further example, the paging false alarm information can comprise paging false alarm information of the terminal device in a first time period, the first time period comprising at least one preset time period. For example, the first time period can comprise time period 1 and time period 2, and the paging false alarm information can comprise: paging false alarm information of the terminal device in time period 1, and paging false alarm information of the terminal device in time period 2. The preset time period can depend on implementation of the terminal device, or the preset time period can be configured by the network device for the terminal device, or the preset time period can be defined by a protocol, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0152] Further, the paging false alarm information in the first time period can comprise at least one first paging false alarm information, at least one second paging false alarm information, or at least one third paging false alarm information. For example, in time period 1, the terminal device camps on cell 1 and cell 2, and the paging false alarm information in time period 1 can comprise: first paging false alarm information of the terminal device when camping on cell 1 in time period 1, and first paging false alarm information of the terminal device when camping on cell 2 in time period 1. For another example, in time period 1, the group to which the terminal device belongs comprises group 1 and group 2, and the paging false alarm information in time period 1 can comprise: second paging false alarm information of the terminal device when belonging to group 1 in time period 1, and second paging false alarm information of the terminal device when belonging to group 2 in time period 1. For another example, in time period 1, the terminal device camps on cell 1 and cell 2, and the terminal device belongs to group 1 and group 2 when in cell 1, and belongs to group 1 when in cell 2, and the paging false alarm information in time period 1 can comprise: third paging false alarm information of the terminal device when in group 1 of cell 1 in time period 1, third paging false alarm information of the terminal device when in group 2 of cell 1 in time period 1, and third paging false alarm information of the terminal device when in group 1 of cell 2 in time period 1.

[0153] It can be understood that the terminal device can camp on multiple cells, and the paging false alarm information included in the first information can comprise paging false alarm information corresponding to the multiple cells, or the paging false alarm information included in the first information can comprise paging false alarm information corresponding to part of the multiple cells. Alternatively, the group to which the terminal device belongs can comprise multiple groups, and the paging false alarm information included in the first information can comprise paging false alarm information corresponding to the multiple groups, or the paging false alarm information included in the first information can comprise paging false alarm information corresponding to part of the multiple groups.

[0154] As an example, the paging false alarm information included in the first information corresponds to the cell in which the terminal device camps after receiving the indication information #1 (i.e., the first indication information) and / or the group to which the terminal device belongs. The indication information #1 is sent by the network device #2 (i.e., the second network device) to the terminal device, and is used to instruct the terminal device to determine the first information. It can be understood that if the terminal device does not receive the indication information #1, the terminal device does not determine the first information. The indication information #1 can be sent by the network device #2 in a broadcast manner, or can be sent by the network device #2 to the terminal device in a unicast manner.

[0155] For example, the terminal device camps in the cell 1, the cell 2 and the cell 3 in sequence. If the terminal device camps in the cell 2 and receives the indication information #1 from the network device #2, the paging false alarm information included in the first information can include: the first paging false alarm information when the terminal device camps in the cell 2, and the first paging false alarm information when the terminal device camps in the cell 3.

[0156] For another example, the terminal device belongs to the group 1, the group 2 and the group 3 in sequence. If the terminal device belongs to the group 1 and receives the indication information #1 from the network device #2, the paging false alarm information included in the first information can include: the second paging false alarm information when the terminal device belongs to the group 1, the second paging false alarm information when the terminal device belongs to the group 2, and the second paging false alarm information when the terminal device belongs to the group 3.

[0157] For another example, the terminal device camps in the cell 1 and the cell 2 in sequence. The terminal device belongs to the group 1 and the group 2 in sequence when camping in the cell 1, and belongs to the group 1 when camping in the cell 2. If the terminal device camps in the cell 1 and belongs to the group 2, and receives the indication information #1 from the network device #2, the paging false alarm information included in the first information can include: the third paging false alarm information when the terminal device camps in the cell 1 and belongs to the group 2, and the third paging false alarm information when the terminal device camps in the cell 2 and belongs to the group 1.

[0158] Optionally, the indication information #1 is used to instruct the terminal device whether to determine the first information. If the indication information #1 is used to instruct the terminal device to determine the first information, the terminal device determines the first information after receiving the indication information #1; if the indication information #1 is used to instruct the terminal device not to determine the first information, the terminal device does not determine the first information after receiving the indication information #1. For example, the indication information #1 can be a 1-bit information. If the indication information #1 is "0", the indication information #1 instructs the terminal device to determine the first information; if the indication information #1 is "1", the indication information #1 instructs the terminal device not to determine the first information. Alternatively, if the indication information #1 is "1", the indication information #1 instructs the terminal device to determine the first information; if the indication information #1 is "0", the indication information #1 instructs the terminal device not to determine the first information.

[0159] As another example, the paging false alarm information included in the first information corresponds to a cell in which the terminal device camps when receiving the indication information #1 and / or a group to which the terminal device belongs.

[0160] For example, the terminal device camps in cell 1, cell 2 and cell 3 in this order. If the terminal device does not receive the indication information #1 when camping in cell 1 and cell 3, and receives the indication information #1 from the network device #2 when camping in cell 2, the paging false alarm information included in the first information can include first paging false alarm information when the terminal device camps in cell 2.

[0161] For another example, the terminal device belongs to group 1, group 2 and group 3 in this order. If the terminal device receives the indication information #1 from the network device #2 when belonging to group 1, and does not receive the indication information #1 when belonging to group 2 and group 3, the paging false alarm information included in the first information can include second paging false alarm information when the terminal device belongs to group 1.

[0162] For another example, the terminal device camps in cell 1 and cell 2 in this order, the terminal device belongs to group 1 and group 2 in this order when camping in cell 1, and belongs to group 1 when camping in cell 2. If the terminal device receives the indication information #1 from the network device #2 when camping in cell 1 and belonging to group 2, and does not receive the indication information #1 when camping in cell 1 and belonging to group 1, and camping in cell 2 and belonging to group 1, the paging false alarm information included in the first information can include third paging false alarm information when the terminal device camps in cell 1 and belongs to group 2.

[0163] As another example, the paging false alarm information included in the first information corresponds to a cell that satisfies the following conditions: the number of times that the terminal device occurs paging false alarm is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, and / or, the probability that the terminal device occurs paging false alarm is greater than or equal to a second threshold value.

[0164] For example, the terminal device camps in cell 1, cell 2 and cell 3 in this order. If the number of times that the terminal device occurs paging false alarm in cell 1 is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, and / or, the probability that the terminal device occurs paging false alarm is greater than a second threshold value, and the number of times that the terminal device occurs paging false alarm in cell 2 and cell 3 is less than the first threshold value, and / or, the probability that the terminal device occurs paging false alarm is less than the second threshold value, the paging false alarm information included in the first information can include first paging false alarm information when the terminal device camps in cell 1.

[0165] As a further example, the paging false alarm information included in the first information corresponds to a group that satisfies the following conditions: the number of times that the terminal device has a paging false alarm is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, and / or, the probability that the terminal device has a paging false alarm is greater than or equal to a second threshold value.

[0166] For example, the terminal device belongs to group 1, group 2, and group 3 in turn. If the number of times that the terminal device has a paging false alarm is greater than the first threshold value and / or the probability that the terminal device has a paging false alarm is greater than the second threshold value when the terminal device belongs to group 1, and the number of times that the terminal device has a paging false alarm is less than the first threshold value and / or the probability that the terminal device has a paging false alarm is less than the second threshold value when the terminal device belongs to group 2 and group 3, the paging false alarm information included in the first information can include the second paging false alarm information when the terminal device belongs to group 1.

[0167] For another example, the terminal device has camped on cell 1 and cell 2 in turn, the terminal device belongs to group 1 and group 2 in turn when the terminal device camps on cell 1, and the terminal device belongs to group 1 when the terminal device camps on cell 2. If the number of times that the terminal device has a paging false alarm is greater than the first threshold value and / or the probability that the terminal device has a paging false alarm is greater than the second threshold value when the terminal device camps on cell 1 and belongs to group 2, and the number of times that the terminal device has a paging false alarm is less than the first threshold value and / or the probability that the terminal device has a paging false alarm is less than the second threshold value when the terminal device camps on cell 1 and belongs to group 1 and when the terminal device camps on cell 2 and belongs to group 1, and no indication information #1 is received, the paging false alarm information included in the first information can include the third paging false alarm information when the terminal device camps on cell 1 and belongs to group 2.

[0168] In a possible implementation, the first information can be used to indicate the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device. The paging false alarm situation can include a paging false alarm being serious or a paging false alarm being normal. The paging false alarm being serious can mean that the number of times that the terminal device has a paging false alarm is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, and / or the probability that the terminal device has a paging false alarm is greater than or equal to a second threshold value. The paging false alarm being normal can mean that the number of times that the terminal device has a paging false alarm is less than the first threshold value, and / or the probability that the terminal device has a paging false alarm is less than the second threshold value.

[0169] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the manner in which the first information indicates the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device.

[0170] As an example, the first information can be used to indicate that the paging false alarm of the terminal device is serious. For example, the first information can include information of at least one cell in which the terminal device camps and / or at least one group to which the terminal device belongs, to indicate that the paging false alarm of the terminal device in the at least one cell and / or the at least one group is serious. For example, the first information can include information of cell 1, to indicate that the paging false alarm of the terminal device in cell 1 is serious.

[0171] As a further example, the first information can be used to indicate whether the terminal device is seriously plagued by paging false alarms. For example, the first information can be a 1-bit information. If the first information is "0", the first information indicates that the terminal device is seriously plagued by paging false alarms. If the first information is "1", the first information indicates that the terminal device is normally plagued by paging false alarms. Alternatively, if the first information is "1", the first information indicates that the terminal device is seriously plagued by paging false alarms. If the first information is "0", the first information indicates that the terminal device is normally plagued by paging false alarms.

[0172] The granularity of the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0173] As an example, the paging false alarm situation can include a first paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in at least one cell in which the terminal device camps. That is, the first paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information can be cell-specific.

[0174] The first paging false alarm situation is cell-specific, and it can also be understood that the first paging false alarm situation corresponds to a cell. For example, the first paging false alarm situation and the cell can be in a one-to-one correspondence, or the first paging false alarm situation and the cell can be in a many-to-one relationship.

[0175] For example, the terminal device camps in cell 1, cell 2, and cell 3. The paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information can include a first paging false alarm situation corresponding to each of the three cells. That is, the first information can be used to indicate: the first paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in cell 1, the first paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in cell 2, and the first paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in cell 3. Taking the first paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in cell 1 as an example, the first paging false alarm situation of cell 1 is determined according to the number of times of paging false alarms of the terminal device in cell 1 and / or the probability of paging false alarms of the terminal device in cell 1. If the number of times of paging false alarms of the terminal device in cell 1 is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, and / or the probability of paging false alarms of the terminal device in cell 1 is greater than or equal to a second threshold value, the first paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in cell 1 is serious. If the number of times of paging false alarms of the terminal device in cell 1 is less than the first threshold value, and / or the probability of paging false alarms of the terminal device in cell 1 is less than the second threshold value, the first paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in cell 1 is normal.

[0176] For another example, the terminal device has camped in the cell 1, the cell 2, and the cell 3. Taking the case that the terminal device determines the paging false alarm situation according to the number of times of occurrence of the paging false alarm as an example. If the number of times of occurrence of the paging false alarm of the terminal device in the cell 1 and the cell 2 is greater than or equal to the first threshold value respectively, and the number of times of occurrence of the paging false alarm of the terminal device in the cell 3 is less than the first threshold value, the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information can include two first paging false alarm situations, one of which corresponds to the cell 1 and the cell 2, and the other of which corresponds to the cell 3.

[0177] For another example, the paging false alarm situation can include the second paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in at least one group to which the terminal device belongs. That is, the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information can be group-specific.

[0178] The second paging false alarm situation is group-specific, and it can also be understood that the second paging false alarm situation corresponds to the group. For example, the second paging false alarm situation and the group can be in a one-to-one correspondence, or the second paging false alarm situation and the group can be in a many-to-one correspondence.

[0179] For example, the group to which the terminal device belongs includes the group 1, the group 2, and the group 3. The paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information can include three second paging false alarm situations corresponding to the three groups respectively. That is, the first information can be used to indicate the second paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in the group 1, the second paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in the group 2, and the second paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in the group 3. Taking the second paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in the group 1 as an example, the second paging false alarm situation of the group 1 is determined according to the number of times of occurrence of the paging false alarm of the terminal device in the group 1 and / or the probability of occurrence of the paging false alarm. If the number of times of occurrence of the paging false alarm of the terminal device in the group 1 is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, and / or the probability of occurrence of the paging false alarm of the terminal device in the group 1 is greater than or equal to the second threshold value, the second paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in the group 1 is that the paging false alarm is serious. If the number of times of occurrence of the paging false alarm of the terminal device in the group 1 is less than the first threshold value, and / or the probability of occurrence of the paging false alarm of the terminal device in the group 1 is less than the second threshold value, the second paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in the group 1 is that the paging false alarm is normal.

[0180] For another example, the terminal device has camped in the group 1, the group 2, and the group 3. Taking the case that the terminal device determines the paging false alarm situation according to the number of times of occurrence of the paging false alarm as an example. If the number of times of occurrence of the paging false alarm of the terminal device in the group 1 and the group 2 is greater than or equal to the first threshold value respectively, and the number of times of occurrence of the paging false alarm of the terminal device in the group 3 is less than the first threshold value, the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information can include two second paging false alarm situations, one of which corresponds to the group 1 and the group 2, and the other of which corresponds to the group 3.

[0181] As a further example, the paging false alarm case can comprise a third paging false alarm case of the terminal device in the at least one cell belonging to the group. That is, the paging false alarm case indicated by the first information can be cell-group specific.

[0182] The third paging false alarm case is cell-group specific, and it can also be understood that the third paging false alarm case corresponds to the cell-group. For example, the third paging false alarm case can be in a one-to-one correspondence with the cell-group, or the third paging false alarm case can be in a many-to-one correspondence with the cell-group.

[0183] For example, the terminal device has camped on both cell 1 and cell 2, and the terminal device belongs to group 1 of cell 1 and group 2 of cell 1 when camping on cell 1, and the terminal device belongs to group 1 of cell 2 when camping on cell 2. The first information indicating the paging false alarm case can include: the third paging false alarm case when the terminal device camps on cell 1 and belongs to group 1, the third paging false alarm case when the terminal device camps on cell 1 and belongs to group 2, and the third paging false alarm case when the terminal camps on cell 2 and belongs to group 1.

[0184] For another example, the terminal device has camped on both cell 1 and cell 2, and the terminal device belongs to group 1 of cell 1 and group 2 of cell 1 when camping on cell 1, and the terminal device belongs to group 1 of cell 2 when camping on cell 2. Taking the terminal device determining the paging false alarm case according to the number of times of paging false alarm as an example, if the number of times of paging false alarm of the terminal device when camping on cell 1 and belonging to group 1 and the number of times of paging false alarm of the terminal device when camping on cell 2 and belonging to group 1 are both greater than or equal to a first threshold, and the number of times of paging false alarm of the terminal device when camping on cell 1 and belonging to group 2 is less than the first threshold, the first information indicating the paging false alarm case can include two third paging false alarm cases, one of which corresponds to group 1 of cell 1 and group 1 of cell 2, and the other corresponds to group 2 of cell 1.

[0185] As a further example, the paging false alarm case can comprise a paging false alarm case of the terminal device in a first time period, and the first time period comprises at least one time period of a preset duration. For example, the first time period can include time period 1 and time period 2, and the first information indicating the paging false alarm case can include: the paging false alarm case of the terminal device in time period 1, and the paging false alarm case of the terminal device in time period 2. The preset duration can depend on the implementation of the terminal device, or the preset duration can be configured by the network device for the terminal device, or the preset duration can be defined by the protocol, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0186] Further, the paging false alarm situation in the first time period can include at least one first paging false alarm situation, at least one second paging false alarm situation, or at least one third paging false alarm situation. For example, in time period 1, the terminal device camps on cell 1 and cell 2, and thus the paging false alarm situation in time period 1 can include: the first paging false alarm situation when the terminal device camps on cell 1 in time period 1, and the first paging false alarm situation when the terminal device camps on cell 2 in time period 1. For another example, in time period 1, the group to which the terminal device belongs includes group 1 and group 2, and thus the paging false alarm situation in time period 1 can include: the second paging false alarm situation when the terminal device belongs to group 1 in time period 1, and the second paging false alarm situation when the terminal device belongs to group 2 in time period 1. For yet another example, in time period 1, the terminal device camps on cell 1 and cell 2, and the terminal device belongs to group 1 and group 2 when camping on cell 1, and belongs to group 1 when camping on cell 2, and thus the paging false alarm situation in time period 1 can include: the third paging false alarm situation when the terminal device belongs to group 1 of cell 1 in time period 1, the third paging false alarm situation when the terminal device belongs to group 2 of cell 1 in time period 1, and the third paging false alarm situation when the terminal device belongs to group 1 of cell 2 in time period 1.

[0187] It can be understood that the terminal device can camp on multiple cells, and thus the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information can include paging false alarm situations corresponding to the multiple cells, or the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information can include paging false alarm situations corresponding to part of the multiple cells. Alternatively, the group to which the terminal device belongs can include multiple groups, and thus the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information can include paging false alarm situations corresponding to the multiple groups, or the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information can include paging false alarm situations corresponding to part of the multiple groups.

[0188] As an example, the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information corresponds to the cell on which the terminal device camps and / or the group to which the terminal device belongs after receiving indication information #1. The indication information #1 is sent by the network device #2 to the terminal device, and is used to instruct the terminal device to determine the first information. It can be understood that if the terminal device does not receive the indication information #1, the terminal device does not determine the first information.

[0189] For example, the terminal device camps on cell 1, cell 2, and cell 3 in sequence. If the terminal device receives the indication information #1 from the network device #2 when camping on cell 2, the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information can include: the first paging false alarm situation when the terminal device camps on cell 2, and the first paging false alarm situation when the terminal device camps on cell 3.

[0190] For another example, the terminal device belongs to group 1, group 2 and group 3 in turn. If the terminal device belongs to group 1 and receives the indication information #1 from the network device #2, the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information can include: the second paging false alarm situation when the terminal device belongs to group 1, the second paging false alarm situation when the terminal device belongs to group 2, and the second paging false alarm situation when the terminal device belongs to group 3.

[0191] For another example, the terminal device camps on cell 1 and cell 2 in turn. The terminal device belongs to group 1 and group 2 in turn when camping on cell 1, and belongs to group 1 when camping on cell 2. If the terminal device camps on cell 1 and belongs to group 2, and receives the indication information #1 from the network device #2, the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information can include: the third paging false alarm situation when the terminal device camps on cell 1 and belongs to group 2, and the third paging false alarm situation when the terminal device camps on cell 2 and belongs to group 1.

[0192] Optionally, the indication information #1 is used to indicate whether the terminal device determines the first information. If the indication information #1 is used to indicate that the terminal device determines the first information, the terminal device determines the first information after receiving the indication information #1; if the indication information #1 is used to indicate that the terminal device does not determine the first information, the terminal device does not determine the first information after receiving the indication information #1. For example, the indication information #1 can be a 1-bit information. If the indication information #1 is “0”, the indication information #1 indicates that the terminal device determines the first information; if the indication information #1 is “1”, the indication information #1 indicates that the terminal device does not determine the first information. Alternatively, if the indication information #1 is “1”, the indication information #1 indicates that the terminal device does not need to determine the first information; if the indication information #1 is “0”, the indication information #1 indicates that the terminal device determines the first information.

[0193] As another example, the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information corresponds to the cell in which the terminal device camps and / or the group to which the terminal device belongs when receiving the indication information #1.

[0194] For example, the terminal device camps on cell 1, cell 2 and cell 3 in turn. If the terminal device does not receive the indication information #1 when camping on cell 1 and cell 3, and receives the indication information #1 from the network device #2 when camping on cell 2, the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information can include: the first paging false alarm situation when the terminal device camps on cell 2.

[0195] For another example, the terminal device successively belongs to group 1, group 2 and group 3. If the terminal device receives the indication information #1 from the network device #2 when belonging to the group 1, and the terminal device does not receive the indication information #1 when belonging to the group 2 and the group 3, the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information can include a second paging false alarm situation when the terminal device belongs to the group 1.

[0196] For another example, the terminal device successively camps on the cell 1 and the cell 2, the terminal device successively belongs to the group 1 and the group 2 when camping on the cell 1, and the terminal device belongs to the group 1 when camping on the cell 2. If the terminal device receives the indication information #1 when camping on the cell 1 and belonging to the group 2, and the terminal device does not receive the indication information #1 when camping on the cell 1 and belonging to the group 1, and when camping on the cell 2 and belonging to the group 1, the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information can include a third paging false alarm situation when the terminal device camps on the cell 1 and belongs to the group 2.

[0197] As a further example, the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information corresponds to a cell that satisfies the following conditions: the number of times that the terminal device occurs paging false alarm is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, and / or, the probability that the terminal device occurs paging false alarm is greater than or equal to a second threshold value.

[0198] For example, the terminal device successively camps on the cell 1, the cell 2 and the cell 3. If the number of times that the terminal device occurs paging false alarm is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, and / or, the probability that the terminal device occurs paging false alarm is greater than a second threshold value when the terminal device camps on the cell 1, and the number of times that the terminal device occurs paging false alarm is less than the first threshold value, and / or, the probability that the terminal device occurs paging false alarm is less than the second threshold value when the terminal device camps on the cell 2 and the cell 3, the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information can include a first paging false alarm situation when the terminal device camps on the cell 1.

[0199] As a further example, the paging false alarm situation included in the first information corresponds to a group that satisfies the following conditions: the number of times that the terminal device occurs paging false alarm is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, and / or, the probability that the terminal device occurs paging false alarm is greater than or equal to a second threshold value.

[0200] For example, the terminal device successively belongs to group 1, group 2 and group 3. If the number of times that the terminal device occurs paging false alarm is greater than a first threshold value, and / or, the probability that the terminal device occurs paging false alarm is greater than a second threshold value when the terminal device belongs to the group 1, and the number of times that the terminal device occurs paging false alarm is less than the first threshold value, and / or, the probability that the terminal device occurs paging false alarm is less than the second threshold value when the terminal device belongs to the group 2 and the group 3, the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information can include a second paging false alarm situation when the terminal device belongs to the group 1.

[0201] For another example, the terminal device successively camps on cell 1 and cell 2, the terminal device successively belongs to group 1 and group 2 when camping on cell 1, and belongs to group 1 when camping on cell 2. If the terminal device camps on cell 1 and belongs to group 2, the number of occurrences of the paging false alarm is greater than the first threshold value, and / or the probability of occurrence of the paging false alarm is greater than the second threshold value, the terminal device camps on cell 1 and belongs to group 1, and camps on cell 2 and belongs to group 1, the number of occurrences of the paging false alarm is less than the first threshold value, and / or the probability of occurrence of the paging false alarm is less than the second threshold value, and the indication information #1 is not received, the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information can include: the third paging false alarm situation when the terminal device camps on cell 1 and belongs to group 2.

[0202] Optionally, the first information can further include information of at least one cell in which the terminal device camps and / or information of at least one group to which the terminal device belongs. The information of the cell can include at least one of the following: a physical cell identifier (PCI), a cell global identifier (CGI), a public land mobile network (PLMN) to which the cell belongs. The information of the group can include a group number of the group.

[0203] Specifically, the first information can include information of a cell corresponding to the paging false alarm information included in the first information, or the first information can include information of a cell corresponding to the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information. For example, the paging false alarm information included in the first information includes: first paging false alarm information of the terminal device in cell 1, first paging false alarm information of the terminal device in cell 2, and the first information can include information of cell 1 and cell 2.

[0204] Alternatively, the first information can include information of a group corresponding to the paging false alarm information included in the first information, or the first information can include information of a group corresponding to the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information. For example, the paging false alarm information included in the first information includes: second paging false alarm information of the terminal device in group 1, second paging false alarm information of the terminal device in group 2, and the first information can include information of group 1 and group 2.

[0205] Alternatively, the first information can comprise information of a cell-group corresponding to the paging false alarm information comprised in the first information, or the first information can comprise information of a cell-group corresponding to the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information. For example, the paging false alarm information comprised in the first information comprises third paging false alarm information of the terminal device in group 1 of cell 1 and third paging false alarm information of the terminal device in group 1 of cell 2, and the first information can comprise information of group 1 of cell 1 and information of group 1 of cell 2. It can be understood that the information of group 1 of cell 1 comprises information of cell 1 and information of group 1. The information of group 1 of cell 1 comprises information of cell 2 and information of group 1.

[0206] Optionally, in some specific cases, the terminal device does not determine the first information. For example, the total number of groups (under a certain cell) has reached a maximum value, and the terminal device does not determine the first information.

[0207] S420, the terminal device sends the first information. Correspondingly, in S420, the network device #1 (i.e., the first network device) receives the first information.

[0208] The network device #1 and the network device #2 described in S410 above can be the same network device or different network devices. For example, when the terminal device resides in cell 1, receives the indication information #1 from the network device #2, and sends the first information, it still resides in cell 1. That is, the network device #1 and the network device #2 are network devices belonging to the same cell, i.e., the network device #1 and the network device #2 can be the same network device. For another example, when the terminal device resides in cell 1, receives the indication information #1 from the network device #2, and sends the first information, it resides in cell 2. That is, the network device #1 and the network device #2 are network devices belonging to different cells, i.e., the network device #1 and the network device #2 can be different network devices.

[0209] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the trigger condition of the terminal device sending the first information to the network device #1.

[0210] As an example, the terminal device sends the first information to the network device #1 in the case of receiving the indication information #2 (i.e., the second indication information) from the network device #1. The indication information #2 can be sent by the network device #1 in a broadcast manner or sent by the network device #1 to the terminal device in a unicast manner.

[0211] The indication information #2 is used to instruct the terminal device to report the first information. If the terminal device receives the indication information #2, it sends the first information to the network device #1. If the terminal device does not receive the indication information #2, it does not send the first information to the network device #1.

[0212] Optionally, the indication information #2 can also be used to indicate whether the terminal device reports the first information. If the indication information #2 is used to indicate that the terminal device reports the first information, the terminal device sends the first information to the network device #1 after receiving the indication information #2; if the indication information #2 is used to indicate that the terminal device does not report the first information, the terminal device does not send the first information to the network device #1 after receiving the indication information #2. For example, the indication information #2 can be a 1-bit information, if the indication information #2 is “0”, the indication information #2 indicates that the terminal device reports the first information; if the indication information #2 is “1”, the indication information #2 indicates that the terminal device does not report the first information. Alternatively, if the indication information #2 is “1”, the indication information #2 indicates that the terminal device reports the first information; if the indication information #2 is “0”, the indication information #2 indicates that the terminal device does not report the first information.

[0213] As another example, the terminal device sends the first information in a case that the number of occurrences of the paging false alarm is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, and / or, the probability of occurrence of the paging false alarm is greater than or equal to a second threshold value.

[0214] Specifically, the terminal device can send the first information to the network device #1 in a case that the number of occurrences of the paging false alarm in a certain cell is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, and / or, the probability of occurrence of the paging false alarm is greater than or equal to a second threshold value. For example, when the terminal device resides in cell 1, the number of occurrences of the paging false alarm is less than the first threshold value, and / or, the probability of occurrence of the paging false alarm is less than the second threshold value, the terminal device does not send the first information to the network device #1. When the terminal device resides in cell 2, the number of occurrences of the paging false alarm is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, and / or, the probability of occurrence of the paging false alarm is greater than or equal to the second threshold value, the terminal device sends the first information to the network device #1. The first information sent by the terminal device to the network device #1 can include the first paging false alarm information of the terminal device in cell 2, or the first information can include the first paging false alarm information of the terminal device in cell 1 and the first paging false alarm information of the terminal device in cell 2. Alternatively, the first information is used to indicate the first paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in cell 2, or the first information is used to indicate the first paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in cell 1 and the first paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in cell 2.

[0215] Alternatively, the terminal device can send the first information to the network device #1 when the number of paging false alarms of a certain group is greater than or equal to the first threshold value and / or the probability of the paging false alarm is greater than or equal to the second threshold value. For example, when the terminal device belongs to group 1, the number of paging false alarms is less than the first threshold value and / or the probability of the paging false alarm is less than the second threshold value, the terminal device does not send the first information to the network device #1. When the terminal device belongs to group 2, the number of paging false alarms is greater than or equal to the first threshold value and / or the probability of the paging false alarm is greater than or equal to the second threshold value, the terminal device sends the first information to the network device #1. The first information sent by the terminal device to the network device #1 can include the second paging false alarm information of the terminal device in group 2, or the first information can include the second paging false alarm information of the terminal device in group 1 and the second paging false alarm information of the terminal device in group 2. Alternatively, the first information is used to indicate the second paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in group 2, or the first information is used to indicate the second paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in group 1 and the second paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in group 2.

[0216] Alternatively, the terminal device can send the first information to the network device #1 when the number of paging false alarms of a certain group in a certain cell is greater than or equal to the first threshold value and / or the probability of the paging false alarm is greater than or equal to the second threshold value. For example, when the terminal device resides in cell 1 and belongs to group 1, the number of paging false alarms is less than the first threshold value and / or the probability of the paging false alarm is less than the second threshold value, the terminal device does not send the first information to the network device #1. When the terminal device resides in cell 2 and belongs to group 1, the number of paging false alarms is greater than or equal to the first threshold value and / or the probability of the paging false alarm is greater than or equal to the second threshold value, the terminal device sends the first information to the network device #1. The first information sent by the terminal device to the network device #1 can include the third paging false alarm information of group 1 of the terminal device in cell 2, or the first information can include the third paging false alarm information of group 1 of the terminal device in cell 1 and the third paging false alarm information of group 1 of the terminal device in cell 2. Alternatively, the first information is used to indicate the third paging false alarm situation of group 1 of the terminal device in cell 2, or the first information is used to indicate the third paging false alarm situation of group 1 of the terminal device in cell 1 and the third paging false alarm situation of group 1 of the terminal device in cell 2.

[0217] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the manner in which the terminal device sends the first information. For example, the terminal device can send the first information to the network device #1 through a random access procedure. For example, the terminal device can indicate the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device to the network device #1 through a specific random access preamble, or the terminal device can indicate the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device to the network device #1 by sending a random access preamble on a specific random access resource, or the terminal device can send the first information to the network in an RRC message. For another example, the terminal device can send the first information to the network device #1 in a newly defined signal or signaling. It should be understood that the first information included in the signal or signaling can be understood as: the signal or signaling includes the first information, or the signal or signaling is the first information. The signal or information is the first information indicates that the signal or signaling includes the paging false alarm information of the terminal device, or the signal or information is used to indicate the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device.

[0218] Taking the terminal device indicating the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device through a specific random access preamble as an example, the terminal device can indicate that the paging false alarm of the terminal device is normal through a specific random access preamble. If the network device #1 receives the specific random access preamble sent by the terminal device, the network device #1 can determine that the paging false alarm of the terminal device is normal. The terminal device can also indicate that the paging false alarm of the terminal device is serious through a specific random access preamble. If the network device #1 receives the specific random access preamble sent by the terminal device, the network device #1 determines that the paging false alarm of the terminal device is serious.

[0219] Taking the terminal device indicating the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device by sending a random access preamble on a specific random access resource as an example, the terminal device can indicate that the paging false alarm of the terminal device is normal by sending a random access preamble on a specific random access resource. If the network device #1 receives the random access preamble sent by the terminal device on the specific random access resource, the network device #1 can determine that the paging false alarm of the terminal device is normal. The terminal device can also indicate that the paging false alarm of the terminal device is serious by sending a random access preamble on a specific random access resource. If the network device #1 receives the random access preamble sent by the terminal device on the specific random access resource, the network device #1 determines that the paging false alarm of the terminal device is serious.

[0220] Optionally, before the terminal device sends the first information to the network device #1, the terminal device can also send indication information #3 (i.e., third indication information) to the network device #1, and the indication information #3 is used to indicate that the terminal device determines the first information. The indication information #3 can be carried in an RRC message, physical uplink control information (UCI), a physical layer signal / sequence, or a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0221] Optionally, in some specific cases, the terminal device does not report the first information. For example, the total number of groups (in a cell) has reached a maximum value, and the terminal device does not report the first information.

[0222] S430, the network device #1 determines the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device according to the first information.

[0223] As described above, the first information can include the paging false alarm information of the terminal device, and then the network device #1 can determine the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device according to the paging false alarm information included in the first information after receiving the first information from the terminal device. For example, if the first information includes the first paging false alarm information of the terminal device in cell 1, the network device #1 can determine the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in cell 1 according to the first paging false alarm information of the terminal device in cell 1. For example, if the number of paging false alarms included in the first paging false alarm information of the terminal device in cell 1 is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, the network device #1 can determine that the paging false alarm of the terminal device in cell 1 is serious.

[0224] The first information can also be used to indicate the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device, and then the network device #1 can determine the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device according to the first information after receiving the first information from the terminal device. For example, the first information is used to indicate that the paging false alarm of the terminal device is serious, and then the network device #1 can determine that the paging false alarm of the terminal device is serious as soon as the first information is received. If the first information also includes the information of group 1, the network device #1 can determine that the paging false alarm of the terminal device in group 1 is serious. For another example, the first information is used to indicate whether the paging false alarm of the terminal device is serious, if the first information is "0", the network device #1 determines that the paging false alarm of the terminal device is serious; if the first information is "1", the network device #1 determines that the paging false alarm of the terminal device is normal. Alternatively, if the first information is "1", the network device #1 determines that the paging false alarm of the terminal device is serious; if the first information is "0", the network device #1 determines that the paging false alarm of the terminal device is normal.

[0225] It should be understood that in S430, the network device #1 can determine the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in the cell and / or the group belonging to the network device #1 according to the first information.

[0226] For example, the paging false alarm information included in the first information includes the first paging false alarm information of the terminal device in the cell 1 and the paging false alarm information of the terminal device in the cell 2, the cell 1 belongs to the network device #1, and the cell 2 does not belong to the network device #1. Then, the network device #1 can determine the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in the cell 1 according to the first paging false alarm information of the terminal device in the cell 1. For another example, the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information includes the third paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in the group 1 of the cell 1 and the third paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in the group 1 of the cell 2, the cell 1 belongs to the network device #1, and the cell 2 does not belong to the network device #1. Then, the network device #1 can determine the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in the group 1 of the cell 1 according to the third paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in the group 1 of the cell 1.

[0227] If the cell and / or the group corresponding to the paging false alarm information included in the first information or the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information exist, the network device #1 can send the paging false alarm information and / or the paging false alarm situation corresponding to the cell and / or the group not belonging to the network device #1 to other corresponding network devices, so as to determine the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device by the other corresponding network devices. For example, the paging false alarm information included in the first information includes the paging false alarm information of the terminal device in the cell 2, and the cell 2 does not belong to the network device #1. Then, the network device #1 can send the first paging false alarm information of the terminal device in the cell 2 to the network device belonging to the cell 2, so as to determine the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in the cell 2 by the network device belonging to the cell 2. For another example, the paging false alarm situation indicated by the first information includes the third paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in the group 1 of the cell 2, and the cell 2 does not belong to the network device #1. Then, the network device #1 can send the third paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in the group 1 of the cell 1 to the network device belonging to the cell 2, so as to determine the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in the cell 2 by the network device belonging to the cell 2.

[0228] Alternatively, the network device #1 can send the paging false alarm information and / or the paging false alarm situation corresponding to the cell and / or the group not belonging to the network device #1 to the control center, and then the control center sends the paging false alarm information and / or the paging false alarm situation corresponding to the cell and / or the group not belonging to the network device #1 to other corresponding network devices, or the control center determines the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device according to the information sent by the network device #1, and then notifies the corresponding network device of the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device. The control center can communicate with multiple network devices. For example, the network device #1 can send the first paging false alarm information of the terminal device in the cell 2 to the control center, and then the control center sends the first paging false alarm information of the terminal device in the cell 2 to the network device to which the cell 2 belongs, or the control center determines the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in the cell 2, and then notifies the network device to which the cell 2 belongs of the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in the cell 2.

[0229] Alternatively, the control center can notify the corresponding network device of the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in the case of determining that the paging false alarm of the terminal device is serious. For example, if the control center determines that the paging false alarm of the terminal device in the cell 2 is serious according to the first paging false alarm information of the terminal device in the cell 2, the control center notifies the network device to which the cell 2 belongs that the paging false alarm of the terminal device in the cell 2 is serious.

[0230] Alternatively, in the case that the network device #1 determines that the paging false alarm of the terminal device is serious, the method 400 can further include: S440, the network device #1 adjusts the grouping of the terminal device.

[0231] As described above, the purpose of grouping the terminal device is to reduce the probability of paging false alarm of the terminal device. If the network device #1 determines that the paging false alarm of the terminal device is serious according to the first information from the terminal device, it means that the current grouping of the terminal device is unreasonable, and therefore the network device #1 can adjust the grouping of the terminal device.

[0232] For example, the network device #1 determines that the paging false alarm in a certain group in a certain cell is serious according to the first information from one or more terminal devices, and then the network device #1 can increase the number of groups in the cell, so that the terminal devices camping in the cell are dispersed to more groups, thereby reducing the overall paging false alarm probability of the cell. For another example, the network device #1 can adjust the group with serious paging false alarm. For example, the network device #1 can reduce the number of terminal devices in the group, or avoid subsequently adding new terminal devices to the group, so that the number of terminal devices in the group is relatively reasonable, and the overall paging false alarm probability of the group is reduced.

[0233] For example, network device #1 can learn and infer the overall situation of the network according to the first information from one or more terminal devices, in combination with time information. For example, network device #1 can determine that the paging false alarm is serious in a certain time period, and then network device #1 can fix the number of terminal device groups in the time period to try to alleviate the problem of the subsequent possible serious paging false alarm.

[0234] As described above, in S430, network device #1 can determine the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device in the cell and / or group belonging to network device #1 according to the first information, and accordingly, in S440, network device #1 can adjust the group (within the cell) belonging to network device #1.

[0235] Similarly, if other network devices determine that the paging false alarm of the terminal device is serious according to the information from network device #1 or the control center, the other network devices can adjust the group (within the cell) belonging to themselves.

[0236] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device reports the first information to the network device, so that the network device can determine the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device according to the first information, thereby facilitating the network device to adjust the grouping of the terminal device according to the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device. In addition, the terminal device sends the first information to the network device when the number and / or probability of the paging false alarm exceeds a given threshold, so that the network device can timely perceive that the paging false alarm of the terminal device is serious, thereby facilitating the network device to timely adjust and optimize the grouping of the terminal device, and ensuring the performance of the terminal device grouping mechanism.

[0237] Figure 5 A schematic flowchart of a method of communication is shown, which is proposed in another embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 5 The method 500 can include S510 to S570, and each step is described in detail below.

[0238] S510, the terminal device determines the first information, and the first information includes the paging false alarm information of the terminal device, or the first information is used to indicate the paging false alarm situation of the terminal device.

[0239] The terminal device determines the first information in the case of receiving the indication information #1. For example, when the terminal device resides in cell 1, no indication information #1 is received, and the terminal device does not determine the first information. When the terminal device resides in cell 2, the indication information #1 is received, and the terminal device determines the first information. In this case, the first information determined by the terminal device can include the first paging false alarm information of cell 2, and does not include the first paging false alarm information of cell 1. Or, the first information is used to indicate the first paging false alarm situation of cell 2, and does not indicate the first paging false alarm situation of cell 1.

[0240] More description about the terminal device determining the first information can refer to the description in S410 above.

[0241] Optionally, before the terminal device determines the first information, the method 500 can further comprise S520, the network device #2 sends the indication information #1. Accordingly, in S520, the terminal device receives the indication information #1.

[0242] The indication information #1 is used to instruct the terminal device to determine the first information. Specifically, more description about the indication information #1 can refer to the description in S410 above.

[0243] If the method 500 performs S520, the terminal device can determine the first information in the case of receiving the indication information #1. For example, when the terminal device camps on the cell 1, no indication information #1 is received, and then the terminal device does not determine the first information. When the terminal device camps on the cell 2, the indication information #1 is received, and then the terminal device determines the first information.

[0244] S530, the network device #1 sends the indication information #2. Accordingly, in S530, the terminal device receives the indication information #2.

[0245] The indication information #2 is used to instruct the terminal device to report the first information. Specifically, more description about the indication information #1 can refer to the description in S420 above.

[0246] Optionally, before the network device #1 sends the indication information #2, the method 500 can further comprise S540: the terminal device sends the indication information #3 to the network device #1, the indication information #3 is used to instruct the terminal device to determine the first information. If the method 500 performs S540, the network device #1 can send the indication information #2 to the terminal device after receiving the indication information #3.

[0247] S550, the terminal device sends the first information. Accordingly, in S550, the network device #1 receives the first information.

[0248] The terminal device sends the first information to the network device #1 in the case of receiving the indication information #2. More description about the terminal device sending the first information can refer to the description in S420 above.

[0249] S560 to S570 are the same as S430 to S440 in the method 400, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be described in detail here.

[0253] Optionally, before the terminal device determines the first information, the method 600 can further include S620, the network device #2 sending indication information #1. Accordingly, in S620, the terminal device receives the indication information #1.

[0254] The indication information #1 is used to instruct the terminal device to determine the first information. Specifically, more description about the indication information #1 can refer to the description in S410 above.

[0255] If the method 600 performs S620, the terminal device can determine the first information in the case of receiving the indication information #1. For example, when the terminal device camps on the cell 1, the terminal device does not receive the indication information #1, and then the terminal device does not determine the first information. When the terminal device camps on the cell 2, the terminal device receives the indication information #1, and then the terminal device determines the first information.

[0256] S630, the terminal device sends the first information. Accordingly, in S630, the network device #1 receives the first information.

[0257] The terminal device can send the first information to the network device #1 in the case that the number of times of the paging false alarm is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, and / or the probability of the paging false alarm is greater than or equal to a second threshold value. More description about the terminal device sending the first information can refer to the description in S420 above.
