[0052] In order to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a number of embodiments to clearly explain the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Of course, as will be understood by those skilled in the art, the embodiments provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented alone, or can be implemented in combination with the methods of other embodiments in the embodiments of the present disclosure, or can be implemented alone or in combination with some methods in other related technologies, and are not limited to the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0053] In order to better understand the technical solution described in any one embodiment of the present disclosure, first, group A separate scenario for paging a terminal will now be described.

[0054] In one embodiment, no paging is performed. group In this case, all terminals are woken up at the paging timing. In one embodiment, since the probability of being paged varies among terminals within a time period corresponding to the paging timing, a terminal with a low probability of being paged may be woken up by mistake, which results in a waste of power. group Paging separately, groupA separate paging scheme must be used to page the terminal. group The information may be carried in the Paging Downlink Control Information (DCI) or in the Paging Early Indication (PEI). group Regardless of the method, the terminal and the network (including the base station and the core network) group If they do not agree on this, the paging message cannot be sent successfully to the terminal.

[0055] In one embodiment, a paging probability Pnas between the terminal and the core network is determined in advance, and the base station calculates the paging probability Pnas based on the probability. group In this way, the terminal can determine the paging group to which the terminal belongs based on the received information. group can be determined.

[0056] In one embodiment, when the core network sends a paging message to the base station, the core network determines whether the base station is paging the terminal. group In one embodiment, if the core network does not notify the base station of the terminal's paging probability, the terminal may determine a predetermined paging probability. group Select .

[0057] In one embodiment, a paging probability Pnas is pre-agreed between the terminal and the core network, and the base station group In this way, the terminal can receive paging requests. group When a paging message arrives at the base station from the core network, the core network also notifies the base station of the Pnas of the terminal, and the base station determines the group In this way, the three network elements, the terminal, the base station, and the core network, groupConsistency for verification is achieved.

[0058] In one embodiment, the base station allocates some paging probabilities to a single wake-up signal (WUS). group The device must be set to one group After selecting a set, group In the set, one UE-ID is assigned according to the UE-ID modulo method. group and the formula is as follows: wg=floor(floor((UE_ID) / (N×N s )) / N n )mod N w

[0059] where UE-ID modulo method is random selection or random assignment method (randomization), N is the paging frame density in the time domain, Ns is the paging density in one paging frame in the time domain, Nn is the paging narrowband, and Nw is the corresponding group The total number of WUS resources in the set group It's a number.

[0060] In one embodiment, when the terminal is in a radio resource control inactive state and needs to simultaneously monitor core network paging and access network paging, core network paging is used only in special cases where the network and the terminal are not consistent. For example, the context of the terminal is lost on the network side, and the network considers that the terminal is already in a radio resource control idle state and initiates core network paging. At this time, from the terminal's perspective, the terminal is in a radio resource control inactive state, and from the network's perspective, the terminal is already in a radio resource control idle state.

[0061] In one embodiment, the core network may provide one radio resource idle state terminal. groupAfter the terminal enters the radio resource control inactive state, the base station assigns an identifier id1 to the user in the radio resource control inactive state. group Normally, if there is no mismatch in the above conditions, the base station assigns the identifier id2. group Send a paging message to the terminal according to the identifier id2, and the terminal group Two types of paging are monitored with the identifier id2. However, if the terminal context is lost on the network side (maintained by the base station), group Since the network considers the terminal to be in the radio resource control idle state, it initiates paging of the core network. At this time, the base station is informed of the paging message sent by the core network. group The terminal uses the identifier id1 to page. group Using identifier id2 group This can cause lost paging.

[0062] As shown in FIG. group A paging method is provided, where the method is executed by a terminal, and includes the following steps 21.

[0063] Step 21, group Receive paging configuration information.

[0064] Here, the setting information includes at least the information that the network uses to page the terminal in a predetermined manner. group Used to indicate whether or not to support retrieving information and paging group The information is used by the terminal to monitor paging messages.

[0065] Here, the terminal may be, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a wearable device, an in-vehicle terminal, a road side unit (RSU), a smart home terminal, an industrial sensing device, and / or a medical device.

[0066] Here, the network may be an access network and / or a core network. Here, a device in the access network may be a base station, and a device in the core network may be a core network device. Note that the base station according to the present disclosure may be an access device through which a terminal accesses the network. Here, the base station may be various types of base stations, for example, a base station of a third generation mobile communication (3G) network, a base station of a fourth generation mobile communication (4G) network, a base station of a fifth generation mobile communication (5G) network, or other evolved base stations.

[0067] In one embodiment, group Paging may be as follows: group A network is a group By sending a paging message, one group It is not necessary to page all terminals in the group After receiving a paging message, you are paged yourself group Determine whether it belongs to the group If you belong to group Respond to a paging message and be paged group If it does not belong to group Ignore paging messages.

[0068] In one embodiment, group Paging group may be plural. Here, different group A different paging resource may be set for each packet. group The paging group to which the terminal belongs group In response to the determination, the terminal group The terminal may monitor for paging messages on the paging resource indicated by groupThe determination of whether a mobile station belongs to a core network may be made by the base station or by any core network device in the core network. group is paging group Here, paging group The information may be pre-stored in the terminal or the network may provide a paging group Send the information to the device.
