DETAILED DESCRIPTION To illustrate more clearly the subject matter, solutions, and advantages of this application, the variations of this application are described in detail below, along with the drawings. It should be noted that, provided they do not conflict, the variations and features of this application may be combined in any way. The steps illustrated in the flowcharts between the drawings can be executed, for example, by a computer system capable of executing a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although logical sequences are illustrated in the flowcharts, the steps illustrated or described may be executed in a different sequence than those described here in some cases. In one example, FIGURE 1 is a flowchart of an information transmission method according to one modality of this application. This method may be applicable when the paging mechanism of a first communication node is determined in the inactive state. This method may be implemented in software and / or hardware and integrated into the first communication node. The first communication node may be a UE (Engineering Unit). It should be noted that the techniques used to calculate a paging occasion index in this modality of the present application are also applicable to calculating a narrowband paging index (PNB) and a group index of a group of activation signals (WG). That is, the PNB index, the WG index, and the paging occasion index can be calculated using a discontinuous receive cycle in a standby mode. As shown in FIGURE 1, the method of information transmission provided in this modality of the present application includes the following steps. In S110, the paging capacity indication information is determined. The paging capacity indication information indicates the paging capacity of the first communication node in the idle state. This document does not limit itself to how the paging capacity of the first communication node is determined, provided that the paging capacity indication information can indicate the paging capacity of the first communication node. For example, the paging capacity indication information can indicate whether a paging occasion index in an idle state can be calculated using the discontinuous receive cycle of the first communication node in a sleep mode. The paging capacity indication information can signal a second communication node to determine a paging occasion. The second communication node can be a base station. In S120, the paging capacity indication information is transmitted. After the paging capacity indication information is determined, it can be transmitted in this step. For example, the paging capacity indication information is transmitted to a third communication node to facilitate the calculation of the paging event. The third communication node can be a core network. In the information transmission method provided by this modality of the present application, paging capacity indication information is determined, where the paging capacity indication information indicates the paging capacity of the first communication node in the idle state, and the paging capacity indication information is transmitted. The determination of the paging mechanism in the idle state can be facilitated based on the transmitted paging capacity indication information. Based on the previous modality, variant modalities are proposed. It should be noted here that, for ease of description, only differences with respect to the previous modality are described in the variant modalities. ccRzzn / Qznz / q / uιλι In one mode, the paging capability of the first communication node in the idle state includes at least one of the following: an ability to calculate a paging occasion index in the idle state using the discontinuous receive cycle of the first communication node in a sleep mode or an ability to calculate a paging occasion index in an idle state. In one mode, the ability to calculate the idle-state paging occasion index includes, in the case where the idle-state paging occasion index is greater than 1, the ability to calculate the paging occasion index using the discontinuous receive cycle of the first communication node in sleep mode or, in the case where the idle-state paging occasion index is greater than 1, an ability to calculate the paging occasion index. The ability to calculate the paging occasion index in the case where the paging occasion index in the idle state is greater than 1 may be the ability to calculate the paging occasion index using the discontinuous receive cycle of the first communication node in sleep mode. In one mode, the discontinuous receive cycle of the first communication node in standby mode is determined by the minimum cycle in a specific paging cycle of the first communication node and a predetermined paging cycle of a second communication node. The specific paging cycle is not limited. For example, the specific paging cycle could be the paging cycle assigned by a higher layer. In one example, this application also provides a method for transmitting information. Figure 2 is a flowchart of another method for transmitting information according to one modality of this application. This method may be applicable when the paging mechanism of the first communication node is determined in the idle state. This method may be implemented in software and / or hardware and integrated into a third communication node. The third communication node may be a core network. For content that is not yet exhaustive in this modality, reference may be made to the preceding modalities. Details are not described here. As shown in FIGURE 2, the method of information transmission provided in this modality of the present application includes the following steps. In S210, paging capacity indication information is acquired. This information indicates the paging capacity of the first communication node in the idle state. In this step, paging capacity indication information can be acquired from the first communication node. In S220, the first paging information is transmitted. This first paging information includes the paging capacity indication information. After acquiring the paging capacity indication information, in this step, the paging capacity indication information can be included in the first paging information for transmission to determine a paging occasion. In this step, the first paging information can be transmitted to the second communication node so that the second communication node can determine the paging occasion. The paging capacity indication information included in the first paging information is used by the second communication node to determine the paging occasion. In the information transmission method provided by this modality of the present application, paging capacity indication information is acquired, where the paging capacity indication information indicates the paging capacity of the first communication node in the idle state, and the first paging information is transmitted. The first paging information includes the paging capacity indication information. When transmitting the first paging information, it is convenient to determine the paging event based on the paging capacity indication information. Based on the preceding modalities, variant modalities of the preceding modalities are proposed. It should be noted here that, for ease of description, the variant modalities only describe differences with respect to the previous modalities. In one mode, the paging capability of the first communication node in the idle state includes at least one of the following: an ability to calculate a paging occasion index in the idle state using the discontinuous receive cycle of the first communication node in sleep mode or the ability to calculate the paging occasion index in the idle state. In one example, this application provides a method for transmitting information. Figure 3A is a flowchart of another method for transmitting information according to one modality of this application. This method may be applicable when the paging mechanism of the first communication node is determined in the idle state. This method may be implemented in software and / or hardware and integrated into a second communication node. The second communication node may be a base station. For content that is not yet exhaustive in this modality, reference may be made to the preceding modalities. Details are not described here. As shown in FIGURE 3A, the method of information transmission provided in this modality of the present application includes the following steps. In S310, the second paging information is acquired. The second paging information includes paging capacity indication information for the first communication node. In this step, the second paging information can be determined by the first paging information transmitted by a third communication node. The second paging information can be information transmitted by a central unit of the second communication node to a distribution unit of the second communication node based on the first paging information. The second paging information can be used by the second communication node to determine the paging event. The second paging information can also include the discontinuous receive cycle of the first communication node in standby mode. In S320, the paging occasion is determined based on the second paging information and the capacity information of the second communication node. The capacity information of the second communication node can represent the ability of the second communication node to calculate a paging occasion index using the discontinuous receive cycle of the first communication node in sleep mode. When determining the paging occasion, the capacity information of the second communication node and the second paging information can determine the parameters used in calculating the paging occasion index. The specific content is not limited here. In the information transmission method provided in this modality of the present application, a second paging information is acquired, where the second paging information includes the paging capacity indication information of the first communication node, and the paging event is determined according to the second paging information and the capacity information of the second communication node. The paging mechanism in the idle state is effectively determined using this method. Based on the preceding modalities, variant modalities of the preceding modalities are proposed. It should be noted here that, for ease of description, the variant modalities only describe differences with respect to the previous modalities. In one mode, the paging capability indication information of the first communication node includes at least one of the following: capability indication information to calculate a paging occasion index in the idle state using the discontinuous receive cycle of the first communication node in sleep mode or indication information about the capability to calculate the paging occasion index in the idle state. In one mode, acquiring the second paging information involves the following steps: the central unit of the second communication node acquires the first paging information from the third communication node, where the first paging information includes the paging capacity indication information of the first communication node, and the central unit of the second communication node transmits the second paging information to the distribution unit of the second communication node. The second paging information is determined based on the first paging information. The second paging information also includes the discontinuous receive cycle of the first communication node in standby mode. The second paging information includes the paging capacity indication information in the first paging information and also the discontinuous receive cycle of the first communication node in sleep mode. In one mode, if the second paging information is acquired and the second communication node supports calculating the paging event index in the idle state, a paging event is determined according to the first number of paging events in a paging frame and the discontinuous receive cycle of the first communication node in standby mode. The first number of paging events is determined according to the second paging information. The method for determining the first pagination number and the pagination occasion is not limited here. In the forms of this application, "first" and "second" are used to distinguish corresponding content and have no practical significance. In one mode, if the second paging information is not acquired, or the central unit of the second communication node does not support the calculation of the paging occasion index in the idle state, or the paging capacity indication information included in the second paging information is not acquired, a paging occasion is determined according to the second number of paging times of a paging frame of a conventional user equipment and the paging cycle of the conventional user equipment. It can be considered that conventional user equipment does not support the above capabilities, such as the ability to calculate the paging occasion index in the idle state. In one modality, determining the paging occasion based on the second paging information and the capacity information of the second communication node includes determining a paging occasion index based on the second paging information and the capacity information of the second communication node and determining the paging occasion based on the paging occasion index. When determining the pagination occasion, it can be determined based on the pagination occasion index in this mode. The pagination occasion index is not limited here, provided the pagination occasion can be uniquely identified. The method for determining the pagination occasion index is also not limited in this document. For example, the pagination occasion index can be determined based on the number of pagination events and the pagination cycle. For specific content, refer to the preceding description. In one modality, the method also includes broadcasting the capacity information of the second communication node. In one mode, the capability information issued by the second communication node includes at least one of the following: capability indication information indicating whether the second communication node supports calculating the paging occasion index by using the discontinuous receive cycle of the first communication node in sleep mode, or indication information about whether the second communication node supports the capability to calculate the paging occasion index in the idle state, or specific information about the number of times a paging frame from the first communication node is paged so that the second communication node supports calculating a paging occasion index using the discontinuous receive cycle of the first communication node in sleep mode.The way in which the capacity of the second communication node is indicated by the number of paging times can be considered as a form of implicit indication. The following is an exemplary description of the present application. Currently, in the wireless communication standard, a UE can use discontinuous receive (DRX) in standby mode to reduce power consumption. The UE's DRX in the standby state is primarily used to monitor a paging channel and a transmit channel. As long as a fixed cycle is defined, the purpose of discontinuous receive can be achieved. The determination of a paging DRX cycle is described below: if an upper layer configures a UE-specific extended DRX value of 512 radio frames, the UE's DRX cycle is 512. Otherwise, the UE's DRX cycle is determined by the shorter of the UE-specific DRX value (if assigned by the upper layer) and a default DRX value transmitted in the system information. If the upper layer does not configure a UE-specific DRX, the default value is applied.In the RRCJNACTIVE state, if extended DRX is not configured by the upper layer, the UE's DRX cycle is determined by the shortest of a RAN paging cycle, a UE-specific paging cycle (if assigned by the upper layer), and a default paging cycle. Conversely, if extended DRX is configured by the upper layer, in the RRCJNACTIVE state, the UE's DRX cycle during a paging time window (PTW) is determined by the shortest of the RAN paging cycle, the UE-specific paging cycle (if assigned by the upper layer), and the base station's default paging cycle. The UE's DRX cycle outside of the PTW is determined by the RAN paging cycle. There is no paging mechanism for the idle RRC state in the current standard. Figure 3B is a diagram of the computation / calculation of a paging occurrence index in an idle state according to a modality of this application. Referring to Figure 3B, the equipment can be considered the first communication node, a base station can be considered the second communication node, and a core network can be considered the third communication node. The device reports paging capacity through paging capacity indication information. Paging capacity indication information that indicates paging capacity in the idle state includes information on the ability to calculate a paging occasion index using the UE's Discontinuous Receive Cycle (DRX) in sleep mode when calculating a paging occasion index (i_s) in the idle state, or information on the ability to calculate the paging occasion index in the idle state. The information indicating the ability to calculate the paging occasion index in the idle state includes information indicating the ability to calculate the paging occasion index using the UE's discontinuous receive cycle (DRX) in sleep mode when the paging occasion index (i_s) in the idle state is greater than 1, or information indicating the ability to calculate the paging occasion index when the paging occasion index (i_s) in the idle state is greater than 1. When the paging occasion index (i_s) in the idle state is greater than 1, the information indicating the ability to calculate the paging occasion index indicates that the paging occasion index is calculated through the UE's discontinuous receive cycle in sleep mode. When the core network sends the first core network-triggered paging information to the base station, the core network-triggered paging capacity indication information and the core network-triggered intermittent receive cycle are sent to the base station's central unit. When the base station's central unit receives the first paging information, the core network-triggered paging capacity indication information and the core network-triggered intermittent receive cycle are sent to the base station's distribution unit via the second paging information. The core network-triggered intermittent receive cycle can be determined by the minimum cycle between a specific UE paging cycle (if configured) and the base station's default paging cycle. The default paging cycle can be transmitted by the base station.The discontinuous reception cycle triggered by the central network can be considered as the discontinuous reception cycle of the first communication node in standby mode. The base station informs the UE via broadcast whether the base station supports calculating the paging rate in the idle state using the UE's intermittent receive cycle in sleep mode. The information broadcast by the base station to the UE regarding whether the base station supports calculating the paging rate in the idle state using the UE's intermittent receive cycle in sleep mode can be indicated implicitly or explicitly. For example, the number of paging times (e.g., NR Ns-r17 or Enhanced Machine Type Communication (eMTC) nB-r17) of a UE paging frame used to support the above capability is implicitly broadcast by the base station, indicating that the base station supports the above capability. Alternatively, whether the base station supports the above capability is explicitly indicated through information. The paging count value is generally 2 or 4. For example, if the base station transmits using 1 bit, 0 represents a paging count of 2 and 1 represents a paging count of 4. If the transmission does not include this bit (1), it means the base station does not support the above capacity. In the event that the equipment supports the above capability (i.e., the ability to calculate the paging occasion index in the idle state using the UE's discontinuous receive cycle in sleep mode), if the base station supports the above capability (i.e., the ability to calculate the paging occasion index in the idle state by using the UE's discontinuous receive cycle in sleep mode), when both core network-initiated paging and radio access network (RAN)-initiated paging are monitored simultaneously in the RRCJNACTIVE state, the paging occasion index (i_s) is calculated using the number of paging times transmitted by the base station and the UE's discontinuous receive cycle (DRX) in sleep mode.The UE's DRX cycle in sleep mode is determined by the minimum cycle between the UE's specific paging cycle (if configured) and the base station's default paging cycle. Alternatively, if the equipment supports the above capability, and when core network-initiated paging and radio access network-initiated paging are simultaneously controlled in the RRCJNACTIVE state, the paging occasion index (i_s) in the RRCJNACTIVE state is calculated using the UE's intermittent receive cycle in sleep mode. The UE's intermittent receive cycle (DRX) in sleep mode is determined by the minimum cycle between the UE's specific paging cycle (if configured) and the base station's default paging cycle.Alternatively, if the device in the RRCJNACTIVE state supports the above capability, the paging occasion is determined using the paging occasion index in standby mode, a narrowband paging index, and / or the group index of a wake-up signal group. The PNB is the narrowband index for receiving the paging message from the UE. Alternatively, if the device in the RRCJNACTIVE state supports the above capability, the paging occasion index, the narrowband paging index, and the group index of the wake-up signal group are calculated using the UE's discontinuous receive cycle in standby mode. The PNB is the narrowband index for receiving the paging message from the UE. In cases where the equipment or base station does not support the above capability (i.e., the ability to calculate the paging occurrence index in the idle state using the UE's discontinuous receive cycle in sleep mode), and when core network-initiated and RAN-initiated paging are monitored simultaneously in the RRCJNACTIVE state, the paging occurrence index (i_s) is calculated using the number of paging times (e.g., Ns-r15 from NRo, nB-r8 from eMTC) of a conventional UE paging frame and the conventional UE paging cycle. The conventional UE paging cycle is determined by the minimum cycle between a RAN paging cycle, the UE-specific paging cycle (if configured), and the default paging cycle. In one example, FIGURE 4 is a flowchart of another method for transmitting information according to a modality of this application. This method may be applicable to the case where the RAN paging cycle is determined. This method may be executed by an information transmission device. This method may be implemented by software and / or hardware and integrated into a second communication node or a third communication node. For content that is not yet exhaustive in this modality, reference may be made to the previous modalities. Details are not described here. As shown in FIGURE 4, the method of information transmission provided in this modality of the present application includes the following steps. In S410, a paging cycle of a RAN is determined. The RAN paging cycle can be considered as a paging cycle configured by a base station to a UE via dedicated UE signaling. In S420, the RAN paging cycle is transmitted. In this mode, the method can be executed not only by the second communication node if it transmits the RAN paging cycle to the third, but also by the third communication node if it transmits the RAN paging cycle to the second. The RAN paging cycle is included, and its contents are not specified in this document. In the information transmission method provided in this form of the present application, the RAN paging cycle is determined and then transmitted. The RAN paging cycle is effectively indicated using this method. Based on the preceding modalities, variant modalities of the preceding modalities are proposed. It should be noted here that, for ease of description, the variant modalities only describe differences with respect to the previous modalities. In one mode, the method is applied to the second communication node. The transmission of the RAN paging cycle includes the following: if the second communication node configures the RAN paging cycle for the first communication node, the second communication node carries the RAN paging cycle on the first communication node's dedicated signaling to transmit the RAN paging cycle to the third communication node. In one mode, the method is applied to the third communication node. The transmission of the RAN paging cycle includes the following: if the third communication node triggers paging, the third communication node transmits the RAN paging cycle to the second communication node. The third communication node then instructs the first communication node to send paging according to the RAN paging cycle, or the third communication node instructs the first communication node to send paging according to both the RAN paging cycle and the paging cycle of the third communication node. The following is an exemplary description of the present application. In this example, paging triggered by a core network is sent on both the RAN paging event and the core network paging event. Figure 3C is a flowchart for determining the RAN paging cycle according to one modality of this application. Figure 3D is another flowchart for determining the RAN paging cycle according to one modality of this application. Referring to Figure 3C or Figure 3D, a base station can be the second communication node, a core network can be the third communication node, and a UE can be the first communication node. When the base station configures the RAN paging cycle for the equipment (i.e., the UE), the base station notifies the core network of the configured RAN paging cycle for the equipment via dedicated UE signaling (i.e., the dedicated signaling of the first communication node).Dedicated EU signaling also includes at least one of the following: Full EU context release, request for EU context suspension, or request for EU context resumption. If the core network triggers paging, it includes the RAN paging cycle in the triggered paging information—that is, the paging information triggered by the third communication node—to send to the base station. The base station then sends the paging according to the RAN paging cycle. Alternatively, the base station may send the paging according to the RAN paging cycle and the core network (CN) paging cycle separately. In an exemplary embodiment, this embodiment of the present application provides a method for transmitting information. This method may be applicable to the case of processing a context release command. This method may be implemented by an information transmission device. This device may be implemented by software and / or hardware and integrated into the second communication node. For content that is not yet exhaustive in this embodiment, reference may be made to the preceding embodiments. Details are not described here. The information transmission method provided in this modality of the present application includes, in the case where a context release command is acquired from the first communication node sent by the third communication node and the first communication node is in the RRC_INACTIVE state, transmitting indication information. The "release context of the first communication node" command can be considered a command to release the context of the first communication node. The indicator information may show that the context of the first communication node is being retained, that the release of the context of the first communication node is being rejected, or that the context of the first communication node is being suspended. In the information transmission method provided in this modality of the present application, if the context release command for the first communication node is received by the third communication node and the first communication node is in the RRCJNACTIVO state, the indication information is transmitted. This effectively rejects the context release of the first communication node or suspends the context of the first communication node. Based on the preceding modalities, variant modalities of the preceding modalities are proposed. It should be noted here that, for ease of description, the variant modalities only describe differences with respect to the previous modalities. In one mode, the indication information includes at least one of the following: a context release rejection message from the first communication node, indication information indicating that the first communication node is in the RRCJNACTIVO state, or context suspension indication information from the first communication node. The context of the first communication node is rejected or suspended through indication information. In one mode, indication information that the first communication node is in the RRCJNACTIVE state or indication information of suspension of a context of the first communication node is included in at least one of the following: complete context release information of the first communication node or context suspension request information of the first communication node. In an exemplary embodiment, an embodiment of this application provides a method for transmitting information. Figure 5 is a flowchart of another method for transmitting information according to an embodiment of this application. This method is applicable to the case of processing a context release command. This method can be executed by an information transmission device. This device can be implemented in software and / or hardware and integrated into the third communication node. For content that is not yet exhaustive in this embodiment, reference may be made to the preceding embodiments. Details are not described here. As shown in FIGURE 5, the method of information transmission provided in this modality of the present application includes the following steps. In S510, a context release command is sent from a first communication node. The third communication node can send the context release command from the first communication node to the first communication node. In S520, indication information is acquired. After sending the context release command to the first communication node, you can acquire indication information. This indication information shows whether the context release of the first communication node was rejected or whether the context of the first communication node was suspended. After acquiring the indication information, the context of the first communication node can be processed accordingly based on the indication information, such as performing a suspension operation of the context of the first communication node. The information transmission method provided by this application sends the context release command from the first communication node and acquires the indication information. This effectively rejects the context release of the first communication node or suspends the context of the first communication node. Based on the preceding modalities, variant modalities of the preceding modalities are proposed. It should be noted here that, for ease of description, the variant modalities only describe differences with respect to the previous modalities. In one mode, the indication information includes at least one of the following: a context release rejection message from the first communication node, indication information indicating that the first communication node is in the RRCJNACTIVO state, or context suspension indication information from the first communication node. Indication information that the first communication node is in the RRCJNACTIVO state or indication information to suspend the context of the first communication node is included in at least one of the following: complete context release information of the first communication node or context suspension request information of the first communication node. The following is an exemplary description of the present application. Figure 3E is a diagram of the processing of a UE context release command according to one modality of this application. Referring to Figure 3E, a base station can be the second communication node, a UE can be the first communication node, and a core network can be the third communication node. When the base station receives a UE context release command sent by the core network—that is, the context release command from the first communication node—if the equipment is in the RRC INACTIVE state, a context release rejection message is sent to the core network; or information indicating that the UE is in the RRC INACTIVE state is sent to the core network; or information indicating that the UE context is suspended is sent to the core network so that the core network does not release the UE context, thus preventing core network paging. The EU context release rejection message or the EU context suspension indication information is included in at least one of the following: Full EU context release information or EU context suspension request information. The base station and the core network save the UE context after sending or receiving the indication. When the core network needs to send data to the UE, a UE context resumption request is sent to the base station to resume the UE context. In an exemplary embodiment, the present application provides an information transmission apparatus. Figure 6 is a diagram illustrating the structure of an information transmission apparatus according to one embodiment of the present application.
