[0099] In order to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the following will be introduced first:

[0100] I. Cell free Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) network

[0101] The Cell free massive MIMO system breaks the concept of cell in the traditional massive MIMO system, and a large number of antennas are distributed on a wide area instead of being deployed at the same macro base station, and UEs are also distributed on the wide area. These antennas are called Transmit-Receive Point (TRP) or Access Point (AP), and theoretically each UE can communicate with each TRP, with the help of front-end network and Central Processing Unit (CPU), a large number of geographically dispersed TRPs can jointly serve a small number of UEs, and the CPU utilizes channel statistical information for joint detection. It is expected to be applied to the next generation of indoor and hotspot coverage scenarios, such as smart factories, train stations, shopping centers, stadiums, subways, hospitals, community centers or university campuses, etc.

[0102] The conventional deployment multiple TRP network usually adopts a Time Division Duplex (TDD) transmission mode, and assumes that the uplink and downlink time slot configuration of each TRP in the network is the same, and the network side determines the uplink and downlink time slot configuration parameters according to the overall uplink and downlink traffic demand in the entire Cell free network.

[0103] II. Paging

[0104] (1) Paging range:

[0105] According to the source of the message, paging can be divided into Core network (CN) paging and radio access network (RAN) paging, and the final paging message is issued by gNB through the air interface to the UE.

[0106] Two types of paging correspond to different ranges:

[0107] (1.1) RAN paging: for RRC inactive state (RRC_INACTIVE) UE, initiated by the last serving gNB, paging in the RNA range;

[0108] (1.2) CN paging: for RRC idle state (RRC_IDLE), initiated by the core network's access and mobility management function (AMF), paging in the registration area (RA) range (i.e. all gNBs in the tracking area identity (TAI) list).

[0109] For details, see Table 1 below.

[0110] Table 1

[0111] (2) Paging target:

[0112] (2.1) Identify Paging information: UE listens to the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) channel in a discontinuous reception (DRX) manner, and first identifies the paging message in it through the paging radio network temporary identifier (P-RNTI) representation;

[0113] (2.2) Identify paging objects: UE determines through the ue paging identifier (ue_Identity) of the PagingRecordList field of the paging message;

[0114] (2.2.1) RAN paging: mark UE through inactive state RNTI (I-RNTI);

[0115] (2.2.2) CN paging: mark UE through 5G S-temporary mobile subscription identifier (5G-S-TMSI);

[0116] (3) Determination method of paging procedure and paging duration, paging frame (PF), paging occasion (PO), paging PDCCH monitoring occasion (Paging PDCCH MO)

[0117] The UE in RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE state supports receiving Paging message using Discontinuous Reception (DRX, also known as Paging DRX) to reduce power consumption. Using DRX, the UE in RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE state only 'wakes up' to receive Paging message at a predetermined time period, and can remain in'sleep' state and stop receiving Paging at other time, thus reducing power consumption and improving the battery life of the UE.

[0118] For Paging DRX, the UE in RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE state only attempts to receive P-RNTI scrambled PDCCH at a certain Paging Occasion (PO) within each DRX cycle (also known as Paging cycle). There are several Paging Frames (PFs) within a DRX cycle, and each PF corresponds to several POs. The UE only wakes up to monitor one PO within each DRX cycle. The paging occasion PO is a set of PDCCH monitoring occasions and contains multiple slots (e.g., subframes or Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols). The UE monitors the PDCCH scrambled with Paging Radio Network Temporary Identifier (P-RNTI) at the PO. The terminal knows the paging cycle, PF, and PO, and can know the exact time to receive the paging message.

[0119] (3.1) DRX cycle means the period of UE detecting Paging, and the DRX cycle is configured by the network side, and there are three ways as follows:

[0120] (3.1.1) For CN (Core network) initiated paging, the cell broadcasts a default cycle in SIB1 by defaultPagingCycle.

[0121] (3.1.2) For CN initiated paging, the NAS layer can configure a UE specific cycle by IE: Paging DRX.

[0122] (3.1.3) For RAN initiated paging, the cell configures a UE specific cycle by carrying ran-PagingCycle in RRC release message when RRC connection is suspended.

[0123] The UE in RRC_IDLE state uses the minimum of the first two cycle configurations as the final used DRX cycle (corresponding to T in the formula), if the NAS layer does not configure a UE specific DRX cycle for the UE, i.e. uses the defaultPagingCycle configured in System Information Block 1 (SIB1).

[0124] (3.2) PF represents the system frame Frame in which paging is detected, PO represents the specific PDCCH monitoring occasions in which paging is detected, i_s represents the index of the PF corresponding PO, and the calculation method is as follows:

[0125] PF: (SFN + PF_offset) mod T = (T div N) * (UE_ID mod N)

[0126] PO: i_s = floor(UE_ID / N) mod Ns

[0127] The parameters are explained as follows:

[0128] T: DRX cycle, i.e. paging cycle;

[0129] There is a cell-level indication Tc in the system message, and the RRC can also have a UE-level indication Tue, if no Tue is indicated, T = Tc, if Tue is indicated, T = min(Tc, Tue).

[0130] N: total number of PFs in T;

[0131] Ns: the number of POs corresponding to one PF;

[0132] PF_offset: PF offset;

[0133] UE_ID: 5G-S-TMSI mod 1024;

[0134] TMSI is Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identify of UE, which can uniquely distinguish different UEs, and will also be used in Msg3 of random access. When UE does not have TMSI, default UE_ID = 0.

[0135] (3.3) Paging PDCCH monitoring occasion determination: In NR, PO needs to correspond to all Synchronization Signal Blocks (SSBs), and each PO needs to contain S PDCCH monitoring occasions, each of which corresponds to an SSB, i.e. the number of SSBs in an SSB burst. UE receives Paging PDCCH on the corresponding MO according to the association between SSB beam and Paging PDCCH MO based on the best SSB beam in an SSB burst.

[0136] (4) Paging Early Indication (PEI)

[0137] UE in idle state needs to perform Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement and listen to Paging PDCCH every paging cycle, Paging PDCCH is PDCCH scrambled with P-RNTI for Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC). The terminal receives the corresponding Paging PDSCH according to the detected Paging PDCCH scheduling. But since the paging probability of a terminal in a PO group is about 10%, therefore, in about 90% of the cases, the terminal will not receive its own paging, and the 90% of the paging listening power consumption is wasted.

[0138] In order to reduce the terminal power consumption, paging early indication information (PEI) is introduced. The UE receives paging early indication information (PEI) before receiving the Paging PDCCH. The PEI DCI is carried by the PDCCH scrambled by PEI-RNTI. The UE judges whether to listen to the subsequent Paging PDCCH according to the indication in the PEI. If the PEI indicates that the UE does not listen to the paging, the UE can skip the reception of one or more SSBs before the paging and skip the reception of the Paging PDCCH / Paging PDSCH, thereby saving power consumption. As shown in FIG. 1b, the PEI is a paging early indication.

[0139] FIG. 1c shows the number of SSB detections when the terminal is in different coverage performance. It also embodies the process of PEI indicating the terminal to listen to paging.

[0140] (5) Cell DTX / DRX (network energy saving)

[0141] The main energy saving idea of cell DTX / DRX is that the network aligns the DRX on duration of different UEs and ensures the alignment or at least the partial overlap between the connected discontinuous reception (C-DRX) on duration of the UE in the connected state and the cell DTX / DRX on duration. The alignment means that the cell DTX / DRX and the UE C-DRX cycle should be multiples of each other. In this way, the cell can turn off the transceiver of part or all of the base station or turn off some base station devices in the aligned cell DTX / DRX off duration to achieve the purpose of energy saving. The cell DTX configuration and the cell DRX configuration can be configured together or independently.

[0142] Each serving cell can be configured by RRC to have a periodic cell DTX mode (i.e. active and inactive periods). The cell DTX operation affects the UE's monitoring activity for PDCCH and configured downlink assignments in RRC_CONNECTED. RRC controls the cell DTX and cell DRX operation by configuring the following parameters in cellDTXDRX-Config for each serving cell:

[0143] cellDTXDRXconfigType: defines whether to configure only cell DTX, only cell DRX, or both;

[0144] cellDTXDRX-onDurationTimer: Active duration at the start of the cell DTX / DRX cycle;

[0145] cellDTXDRX-StartOffset: Subframe defining the start of the cell DTX / DRX cycle;

[0146] cellDTXDRX-SlotOffset: Delay before starting the cellDTXDRX-onDurationTimer;

[0147] cellDTXDRX-Cycle: Cell DTX / DRX cycle.

[0148] cellDTXDRXactivationStatus: Initial activation status of the cell DTX and cell DRX operation.

[0149] Each serving cell activates and deactivates the cell DTX operation as follows:

[0150] (a) Receive a cell DTX indication from L1 signaling indicating to activate or deactivate the cell DTX operation; the L1 signaling is provided by transmitting a DCI format 2_9 in Type3-PDCCH CSS set;

[0151] (b) CellDTXDRX-Config is configured by upper layer: if cell DTX is configured and cellDTXDRXactivationStatus is set to activated, activate the cell DTX operation after the cell DTX is configured; if cell DTX is configured and cellDTXDRXactivationStatus is set to deactivated, deactivate the cell DTX operation after the cell DTX is configured; if CellDTXDRX-Config is released, deactivate the cell DTX operation and release all corresponding configurations.

[0152] If the cell DTX operation of this serving cell is deactivated; or if the serving cell is in the cell DTX active period, the terminal needs to monitor the PDCCH on this serving cell.

[0153] (a) if any serving cell in the DRX group to which this serving cell belongs has a running drx-RetransmissionTimerDL, drx-RetransmissionTimerUL or drx- RetransmissionTimerSL; or if ra-ContentionResolutionTimer or msgB-ResponseWindow is running; or if a scheduling request was sent on PUCCH and is in a pending state; or if after successfully receiving a random access response to a random access preamble, a new transmission has not been received indicating a transmission by C-RNTI scrambled PDCCH scheduling to the medium access control (MAC) entity and the random access preamble was not selected by the MAC entity in a contention based random access preamble;

[0154] (b) if ra-ResponseWindow is running and this serving cell is a SpCell;

[0155] (c) For each serving cell configured with cell DTX, if cell DTX operation is activated and the serving cell is not in the cell DTX Active Period (Cell-DTX inactive period), the MAC entity at the terminal side does not need to monitor PDCCH scrambled by cell RNTI (C-RNTI), Cancellation Indication RNTI (CI-RNTI), Configured Scheduling RNTI (CS-RNTI), Interruption RNTI (INT-RNTI), Slot Format Indication RNTI (SFI-RNTI), Semi-Persistent CSI RNTI (SP-CSI-RNTI), Transmit Power Control-PUCCH-RNTI (TPC-PUCCH-RNTI), TPC-PUSCH-RNTI, (Transmit Power Control-Sounding Reference Symbols-RNTI) TPC-SRS-RNTI, AI-RNTI, Sidelink RNTI (SL-RNTI), SL-CS-RNTI, SL Semi-Persistent Scheduling V-RNTI and cellDTRX-RNTI.

[0156] (6) Sub-band full duplex

[0157] One flexible duplex mode currently discussed in NR is: network side non-overlapping sub-band full duplex (SBFD), that is, uplink transmission and downlink transmission can be performed at different frequency domain positions at the same time, to avoid interference between uplink and downlink, a certain guard band (Guard Band) can be left between the frequency domain positions corresponding to different transmission directions (corresponding to duplex sub-band); terminal side half duplex, that is, consistent with time division duplexing (TDD), at the same time, only uplink transmission or downlink transmission can be performed, and the two cannot be performed simultaneously. It can be understood that in this duplex mode, the uplink transmission and downlink transmission of the network side at the same time can only be for different terminals, that is, the terminal is still half duplex.

[0158] Figure 1d shows the flexible duplex mode, the network side divides the frequency domain of a single carrier into three duplex sub-bands in a part of the downlink symbol, wherein the two sides of the carrier are downlink duplex sub-bands, and the center is an uplink duplex sub-band, to reduce the interference caused to adjacent carriers. In the third time slot, UE1 and UE2 perform uplink transmission and downlink reception in half duplex mode respectively.

[0159] In the cell free scenario, a large number of densely deployed TRPs belong to the same cell, and in the traditional method, the position and state of the UE are grasped at the cell level, and a large number of TRPs need to broadcast the paging message together, which will cause the paging signaling overhead of the network side to increase significantly.

[0160] The paging method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail in combination with the drawings and some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0161] Referring to Figure 2, the present application provides a paging method, the execution subject of the method is a terminal, and the method comprises:

[0162] Step 201: The terminal receives first information from the network side device;

[0163] Step 202: The terminal determines a first resource according to the first information;

[0164] The first resource is a resource associated with paging. It should be noted that the first resource can be a resource actually used for sending a paging message, or the first resource can be a valid resource but not actually used for paging transmission, or the first resource is an invalid resource. Accordingly, according to whether the first resource is valid and whether it is used for paging transmission, the terminal can perform receiving a paging message at the first resource, or listening to a paging message, or not processing.

[0165] The paging, the paging message in the embodiments of the present application can refer to a paging message for paging a terminal / device, and can also refer to other short messages transmitted on a paging channel (such as a system message update indication, an alarm information, a stop paging information, a system message update indication for an eDRX terminal, whether a specific signal or channel exists (such as a Tracking Reference Signals (TRS) signal, a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), a Positioning Reference Signal (PRS), a Wake-Up Signal (WUS), a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB)) visible to an idle / inactive terminal).

[0166] In the embodiments of the present application, the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0167] (1) a reference signal; (2) a reference signal set;

[0168] Specifically, it can be one reference signal or one reference signal group;

[0169] The above-mentioned reference signal can include at least one of the following:

[0170] SSB; Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS), TRS; Phase-Tracking Reference Signals (PTRS); Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS);

[0171] The above-mentioned reference signal set can refer to a set of reference signal identifiers (such as one or more SSB indexes) or an identifier of a reference signal set (such as an SSB group index, a TRS set index);

[0172] The above-mentioned SSB can also be referred to as any module containing at least one of a synchronization signal, a broadcast signal, a Physical broadcast channel (PBCH), and other system message downlink broadcast channels and control channels thereof.

[0173] For the convenience of describing the scheme, the following will be described by taking SSB as an example in the specific description of the technical scheme. It can be understood that the scheme is also applicable to other types of reference signal schemes.

[0174] (3) TRP identifier;

[0175] (4) TRP identifier set;

[0176] (5) TRP set identifier;

[0177] Specifically, the TRP identifier, the TRP identifier set, and the TRP set identifier can correspond to one TRP or one TRP group.

[0178] The TRP identifier, the TRP identifier set, and the TRP set identifier can be identifier information corresponding to the TRP (for example, a TRP index or an index group or a group index) or information specific to the TRP (for example, the network side configures different threshold information for different TRPs, which can implicitly indicate different TRPs).

[0179] (6) Frequency domain resource information;

[0180] The frequency domain resource information includes at least one of the following:

[0181] Frequency band; carrier; frequency domain subband; bandwidth part (BWP); resource block (RB) / resource block set (RB set); carrier set; cell; cell set; subcarrier; subcarrier set;

[0182] (7) Time domain resource information.

[0183] The time domain resource information includes at least one of the following:

[0184] Specific time window; specific timer; specific time start point; periodicity information;

[0185] The set can also have other names, such as group, cluster, etc., which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0186] Compared with the existing paging method, all reference signals in the entire cell in the existing paging method are associated with the same set of paging resources, that is, all share a paging resource pool, so the existing paging method can only page the entire range of the cell. The technical solution of the present application considers independently configuring paging resources on different reference signals / reference signal sets / TRP sets / frequency domain resources (for example: subband / BWP / carrier / RB / RE) / time domain resources (for example: different time windows / periods, etc.), and the paging resources on different objects (that is, the above-mentioned reference signals, TRPs, time-frequency domain resources) can be different. Correspondingly, the UE also finds the corresponding paging resource according to the information in (1) to (7) above, that is, it finds which paging resource pool is independently configured. In this way, by using the paging method provided by the present application, the paging resources on different objects can be different, the corresponding paging can be performed for different objects, the network side can perform more accurate paging in a smaller range, and the paging overhead of the network side can be reduced.

[0187] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal receives first information from the network side device, and determines a first resource associated with paging according to the first information; wherein the first information includes at least one of the following: reference signal; reference signal set; TRP identifier; TRP identifier set; TRP set identifier; frequency domain resource information; time domain resource information. By indicating the resources at the level of reference signals, TRPs or time-frequency resources, the network side can perform more accurate paging in a smaller range, and the paging overhead of the network side can be reduced.

[0188] In an optional implementation, the terminal determines the first resource according to the first information, including:

[0189] (1) The terminal determines the discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle of the terminal according to the reference signal configuration information or system information associated with the first information;

[0190] (2) The terminal determines the first resource in each DRX cycle.

[0191] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal determines the DRX cycle of the terminal according to the reference signal configuration information or system message associated with the first information, and determines the first resource in each DRX cycle. The reference signal configuration information includes at least one of the following: reference signal transmission period, sleep mode or open mode, actual transmission mode, muting / silencing mode, whether activated / deactivated, and whether valid; the system message is, for example, SIB1 message (configuring defaultPagingCycle parameter associated with per-TRP / SSB group).

[0192] In an optional implementation, the terminal determines the first resource according to the first information, including:

[0193] The terminal determines the first resource according to the paging resource configuration information associated with the first information.

[0194] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal acquires the paging resource configuration information associated with the first information, and determines the first resource according to the paging resource configuration. The paging resource configuration can be directly associated with the first information, or associated with the cell identifier corresponding to the first information.

[0195] In an optional implementation, the configuration granularity of the paging resource configuration information is any of the following:

[0196] (1) TRP granularity;

[0197] The configuration granularity of the paging resource configuration information is TRP granularity, indicating that the paging resource configurations of different TRPs are independent and can be different from each other. The paging resource is associated / corresponds to the TRP, and the UE can determine the time domain and frequency domain range of the paging resource according to the TRP.

[0198] (2) TRP set granularity;

[0199] The configuration granularity of the paging resource configuration information is TRP set granularity, indicating that the paging resource configurations of different TRP sets are independent and can be different from each other. The paging resource is associated / corresponds to the TRP set, and the UE can determine the time domain and frequency domain range of the paging resource according to the TRP set.

[0200] (3) reference signal granularity;

[0201] The configuration granularity of the paging resource configuration information is reference signal granularity, indicating that the paging resource configurations of different reference signals are independent and can be different from each other. The paging resource is associated / corresponds to the reference signal, and the UE can determine the time domain and frequency domain range of the paging resource according to the reference signal.

[0202] (4) reference signal set granularity;

[0203] The configuration granularity of the paging resource configuration information is reference signal set granularity, indicating that the paging resource configurations of different reference signal sets are independent and can be different from each other. The paging resource is associated / corresponds to the reference signal set, and the UE can determine the time domain and frequency domain range of the paging resource according to the reference signal set.

[0204] (5) cell granularity.

[0205] The configuration granularity of the paging resource configuration information is cell granularity, indicating that the paging resource configuration of a cell is uniform, multiple TRPs in the cell share the same paging resource configuration, the paging resource is associated / corresponds to the cell identifier, and the UE can determine the time domain and frequency domain range of the paging resource according to the cell identifier.

[0206] In this way, the paging resource or the UE DRX cycle is determined per TRP / SSB group / carrier, which can meet differentiated needs according to the load pressure of different TRPs / SSB groups / carriers, and avoid invalid paging monitoring of the terminal; further, the network side can perform more accurate TRP-level paging, and reduce the excessive paging overhead caused by cell-level large-scale paging.

[0207] In an optional implementation, the method further includes:

[0208] (1) The terminal receives second information from the network side device;

[0209] (2) The terminal determines a target TRP according to the second information, and performs uplink signal transmission;

[0210] The uplink signal is associated with the target TRP;

[0211] The second information includes at least one of the following:

[0212] (1) a TRP identifier, a TRP set identifier, a reference signal identifier, or a reference signal set identifier corresponding to a first reference signal associated with the target TRP

[0213] (2) first indication information;

[0214] The first indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0215] (2.1) Transmission Configuration Indication state (TCI state) indication;

[0216] For example, the TCI can be configured at the cell level, such as a set of 8 TCI states configured in a cell, and in actual transmission, TRP1 and TRP2 are respectively associated with TCI state1 and TCI state2.

[0217] (2.2) Quasi Co Location (QCL) relationship indication;

[0218] (2.3) Timing Advance (TA) indication.

[0219] In the embodiments of the present application, considering that different TRPs / SSB groups can be associated with the same paging resource, paging resource sharing between different TRPs is implemented, and the terminal can further determine the target TRP for uplink signal transmission in the above manner;

[0220] Specifically, when different TRPs share the same SSB (and paging) resource through spatial division multiplexing:

[0221] If the TRP or SSB group is not transparent to the UE, that is, the UE can obtain the TRP id or SSB group id corresponding to the SSB, and distinguish the SSBs within the range of different TRPs sharing the same SSB resource by identifying the above id.

[0222] If the TRP or SSB group is transparent to the UE, that is, the UE cannot distinguish the SSBs within the range of different TRPs sharing the same SSB resource. Then the network needs to support per-TRP / SSB group TCI state indication / QCL relationship indication / TA indication. For example, after the UE leaves the range of TRP1 and then enters the range of TRP2 sharing the same SSB resource, the network can re-indicate the TRP2-specific TCI state / QCL relationship / TA value for the UE to signal with TRP2. That is, the QCL relationship / TCI state / TA value for the UE to access the network / signal through SSB1 of TRP1 and the QCL relationship / TCI state / TA value for the UE to access the network / signal through SSB1 of TRP2 (sharing the same resource) can be configured separately and independently.

[0223] In this way, uplink signal interference and random access conflict caused by resource spatial division multiplexing can be avoided. By indicating the QCL relationship / TCI state / TA value of each TRP on the network side, the UE under different TRPs can use the same SSB resource to communicate with each spatially isolated TRP, without causing mutual interference or conflict, or causing communication failure or performance degradation.

[0224] Further, the PDCCH monitoring occasion (MO) of the terminal on the first resource does not overlap with the UL or SBFD symbol.

[0225] In an optional embodiment, the terminal determines the first resource according to the first information, comprising:

[0226] The terminal determines the first resource according to the first information and the first relationship;

[0227] The first relationship is a mapping relationship between the first information and the paging resource, and the first relationship includes at least one of the following:

[0228] (1) A mapping relationship between a subset of an object set associated with the first information and the paging resource;

[0229] Taking an object associated with the first information as an example:

[0230] The first relationship is a mapping relationship between the reference signal and the paging resource, and the first relationship includes that the paging resource is associated with a first reference signal set, that is, all reference signals in the first reference signal set are mapped to the paging resource.

[0231] The first reference signal set is a subset of a set of all reference signals, that is, other reference signals not belonging to the first reference signal set are not associated with the paging resource.

[0232] For example, in a dual-layer cell free network in which a main TRP and a small TRP are networked together, only the SSB of the macro TRP is used for paging, and the SSB of the small TRP is not used for paging; or when users are concentrated in the coverage area of one or several TRPs, only the SSB of the TRP(s) is associated with the paging resource, and the SSB of other TRPs is not used for paging.

[0233] In this way, only part of the SSB is used for paging, which can save the paging overhead of the network side and the SSB detection overhead of the terminal side.

[0234] (2) Different objects associated with the first information are independently mapped to the same paging resource;

[0235] For example, different objects can be independently mapped to the same set of paging resources in a preset paging resource set, or different objects can be independently mapped to all paging resources in a preset paging resource set.

[0236] Taking an object associated with the first information as an example:

[0237] Different groups of reference signals are independently mapped to the same paging resource. For example, different groups of reference signals are associated with the same set of paging resources, that is, the same paging resource pool is used to send a paging message.

[0238] For example, in the case where the isolation degree between different TRPs or TRP groups (corresponding to different groups of reference signals) is relatively large, the same paging resource can be used to send a paging message. In this way, resource overhead can be saved, and paging delay can be reduced. At this time, paging is sent in a small range by different TRPs, and the reception performance of paging can also be improved.

[0239] For example, for a non-terrestrial network (NTN) network, only part of the reference signal groups or beam groups can be simultaneously activated, and at this time, the beams and reference signals that are not simultaneously activated can be associated with the same paging resource. Similarly, resource overhead can be saved, and paging delay can be reduced.

[0240] In this way, paging resources are saved and reused, paging delay is reduced, and paging coverage is improved.

[0241] (3) The first object set associated with the first information is mapped to the first paging resource, the second object set associated with the first information is mapped to the second paging resource, the first paging resource includes the second paging resource, and the second object set is associated with at least part of the objects in the first object set.

[0242] The objects associated with the first information are taken as reference signals for illustration:

[0243] The first relationship is the mapping relationship between the reference signals and the paging resources, including that the first reference signal set is associated with the first paging resource, the second reference signal set is associated with the second paging resource, the second paging resource is included in the first paging resource, and the second reference signal set is associated with part (or all) of the reference signals in the first reference signal set; the (first or second) reference signal set includes one or more reference signals.

[0244] For example, in a double-layer cell-free network in which a main TRP and small TRPs are jointly networked, as shown in FIG. 3, the main TRP (SSB #{0, 1, 2}, i.e., the first reference signal set) is associated with all PO resources PO #{0, 1, 2} (i.e., the first paging resource), and three small TRPs (TRP1-SSB #{3, 4, 5}, TRP2-SSB #{6, 7, 8} (not specifically shown in the figure), and TRP3-SSB #{9, 10, 11}) (not specifically shown in the figure) are respectively associated with SSB #0, SSB #1, and SSB #2 of the main TRP. Among them, the SSB #{3, 4, 5} of the small TRP1 are all associated with SSB #0, SSB #3 (i.e., the second reference signal set) is associated with PO #0 (i.e., the second paging resource), SSB #4 is associated with PO #1, and SSB #5 is associated with PO #2.

[0245] The advantage of the above two-level SSB-PO resource mapping is that the UE can determine the PO resource that needs to be monitored according to the detection result of the associated two-level SSB, and compared with the traditional method in which all SSBs are mapped to each PO resource, the terminal monitors fewer PO resource positions, thereby saving the energy consumption of the terminal in monitoring the paging signal.

[0246] It can be understood that the above first relationship is exemplified by taking the object associated with the first information as the reference signal, and further, the first relationship can also be extended to the mapping relationship between the TRP / TRP set and the paging resource, or the mapping relationship between the frequency domain resource information (such as carrier, subband, BWP, etc.) and the paging resource, that is, the mapping relationship between the first information and the paging resource, that is, the first relationship is applicable to each type of case described above.

[0247] In an optional implementation, the method further comprises:

[0248] (1) the terminal receives third information from the network side device;

[0249] (2) the terminal determines whether the first resource is valid or determines whether the first resource is used for paging transmission according to the third information;

[0250] The third information includes at least one of the following:

[0251] (1) the duplex configuration information associated with the first information;

[0252] The duplex configuration can refer to one or more of the following:

[0253] FDD configuration, TDD configuration, enhanced duplex mode configuration, XDD configuration, enhanced full duplex configuration, enhanced full duplex mode configuration, half duplex configuration, configuration supporting uplink subband in downlink time unit or supporting downlink subband on uplink time unit or supporting both uplink subband and downlink subband transmission on flexible time unit, etc.

[0254] The time unit can include time units such as time slot, OFDM symbol, subframe, frame, etc., and the specific category of the time unit is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0255] The enhanced duplex, enhanced duplex mode, XDD, enhanced full duplex, enhanced full duplex mode, full duplex, and subband full duplex (SBFD) can represent a concept.

[0256] The transmission mode of the TRP in a certain time resource (such as time slot, OFDM symbol, subframe, frame, etc.) can be configured as at least one of the following: uplink transmission UL, downlink transmission DL, flexible transmission X, duplex transmission SBFD;

[0257] (2) the Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) configuration information associated with the first information;

[0258] (3) first information associated discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration information.

[0259] i.e. first information associated DTX / DRX configuration (the DTX / DRX configuration can be cell DTX / DRX, TRP DTX / DRX, cell group DTX / DRX, TRP group DTX / DRX, UE / device DTX / DRX, etc.).

[0260] In an optional implementation, in the case where the third information comprises first information associated duplex configuration information, the terminal determines whether the first resource is valid or determines whether the first resource is used for paging transmission according to the third information, including any one of the following:

[0261] (1) the terminal determines that the first resource in the uplink time unit is invalid or determines that the first resource in the uplink time unit is not used for sending or listening to the paging message according to the third information;

[0262] According to the first information, the first resource covers a resource range that involves time units of different duplex configurations, and according to the third information, the uplink time unit in the resource range is further determined. Since the uplink transmission will conflict with the paging transmission, the first resource in the uplink time unit is determined to be invalid, and correspondingly, the first resource in the uplink time unit is determined to be not used for sending or listening to the paging message.

[0263] (2) the terminal determines that the first resource in the downlink time unit is valid or determines that the first resource in the downlink time unit is used for sending or listening to the paging message according to the third information;

[0264] According to the third information, the downlink time unit in the resource range is further determined. Since the downlink transmission does not conflict with the paging transmission, the first resource in the downlink time unit is determined to be valid, and correspondingly, the first resource in the downlink time unit is determined to be used for sending or listening to the paging message.

[0265] (3) the terminal determines that the first resource in the duplex time unit is invalid or valid or determines that the first resource in the duplex time unit is not used for sending or listening to the paging message according to the third information;

[0266] According to the third information, the duplex time unit in the resource range is further determined. The duplex time unit includes the time unit of SBFD, i.e. the time unit containing the uplink frequency domain range and the downlink frequency domain range.

[0267] Since the uplink transmission will conflict with the paging transmission, for the duplex time unit containing the uplink frequency domain range, the first resource in the duplex time unit is determined as invalid resource, and accordingly, it is determined that the first resource in the duplex time unit is not used for sending or monitoring of the paging message.

[0268] Alternatively, considering that the duplex time unit contains the downlink frequency domain range, the first resource in the duplex time unit can be determined as valid resource, but it is determined that the first resource in the duplex time unit is not used for sending or monitoring of the paging message, that is, the first resource in the duplex time unit is valid resource, but no paging message is actually transmitted.

[0269] (4) The terminal determines, according to the third information, that the first resource in the uplink frequency domain range of the duplex time unit is invalid resource, and the first resource in the downlink frequency domain range of the duplex time unit is valid resource, or determines that the first resource in the uplink frequency domain range of the duplex time unit is not used for sending or monitoring of the paging message, and the first resource in the downlink frequency domain range of the duplex time unit is used for sending or monitoring of the paging message.

[0270] According to the third information, the duplex time unit in the resource range is further determined, and the duplex time unit includes the time unit of the SBFD, that is, the time unit contains the uplink frequency domain range and the downlink frequency domain range.

[0271] Since the uplink transmission will conflict with the paging transmission, the first resource in the uplink frequency domain range of the duplex time unit is determined as invalid resource, and accordingly, it is determined that the first resource in the uplink frequency domain range of the duplex time unit is not used for sending or monitoring of the paging message.

[0272] Since the downlink transmission does not conflict with the paging transmission, the first resource in the downlink frequency domain range of the duplex time unit is determined as valid resource, and accordingly, it is determined that the first resource in the downlink frequency domain range of the duplex time unit is used for sending or monitoring of the paging message.

[0273] (5) The terminal determines, according to the third information, that the first resource in the flexible time unit is valid resource, or determines that the first resource in the flexible time unit is used for sending or monitoring of the paging message.

[0274] According to the third information, the flexible time unit in the resource range is further determined, that is, the time unit may adopt the uplink configuration, may adopt the downlink configuration, or may adopt the duplex configuration, so the first resource in the flexible time unit is determined as valid resource, and accordingly, it is determined that the first resource in the flexible time unit is used for sending or monitoring of the paging message.

[0275] It should be noted that if the flexible time unit is further dynamically configured subsequently, for example, the flexible time unit is dynamically configured as an UL or SBFD mode, then further judgment needs to be made according to the resource validity judgment mode corresponding to the time unit of the corresponding mode, for example, if the flexible time unit is dynamically configured as an UL mode, then the first resource in the flexible time unit is updated as an invalid resource according to the resource validity judgment mode and the judgment mode of whether to be used for paging transmission of the uplink time unit, and it is determined that the first resource is not used for paging message transmission. For example: if the flexible time unit is dynamically configured as an SBFD mode, then the first resource in the flexible time unit is updated as an invalid resource according to the resource validity judgment mode and the judgment mode of whether to be used for paging transmission of the duplex time unit, such as the first resource in the flexible time unit is updated as an invalid resource, and it is determined that the first resource is not used for paging message transmission, or the first resource in the flexible time unit is an effective resource, but it is determined that the first resource is not used for paging message transmission, or the first resource in the uplink frequency domain range of the flexible time unit is updated as an invalid resource, and it is determined that the first resource is not used for paging message transmission.

[0276] Through the above resource validity judgment and judgment of whether the resource is used for paging transmission, it is determined that the paging on the uplink sub-band of the uplink time slot or the duplex time slot of each TRP is invalid, the network side does not need to send a paging message on these time and frequency domain resources, and the UE also does not need to perform monitoring, thereby reducing the paging overhead / energy consumption of the network side and the monitoring energy consumption of the terminal. In addition, if the complexity of the association of the first information to the first resource is reduced, the first information can still be associated to the paging resources that cannot be used for paging due to the duplex configuration associated with the first information. At this time, it is only necessary to stipulate that the related resources are not used for paging transmission and detection, that is, the resources are valid resources but are not used for paging message transmission or monitoring.

[0277] In an optional implementation, in a case where the third information includes DTX configuration information or DRX configuration information associated with the first information, the terminal determines whether the first resource is valid or whether the first resource is used for paging transmission according to the third information, including any one of the following:

[0278] (1) The terminal determines that the first resource is an invalid resource or a valid resource within the first time, or determines that the first resource is not used for paging message transmission or monitoring according to the third information;

[0279] (2) The terminal determines that the first resource is valid within the second time, or the first resource is used for paging message transmission or monitoring according to the third information;

[0280] The first time can also be referred to as a first DTX-DRX time, and the second time can also be referred to as a second DTX-DRX time. The first resource located in the first DTX-DRX time is invalid and is not used for sending or listening to the paging message; or the first resource located in the first DTX-DRX time is valid and is associated with the first information, but is not used for sending or listening to the paging message; or the first resource located in the second DTX-DRX time is a valid resource and is used for sending or listening to the paging message. The DTX configuration can be associated with the first information (for example, per-TRP configuration TRP DTX pattern) or a cell identifier corresponding to the first information (for example, cell DTX pattern)

[0281] The first time includes a time during which a downlink signal is not allowed to be sent, and the second time includes a time during which a downlink signal is allowed to be sent, and the first time and the second time are determined by at least one of the following:

[0282] (1) an On duration of a DTX configuration;

[0283] (2) an inactivity timer;

[0284] (3) a retransmission-timer;

[0285] (4) an active-time;

[0286] Or,

[0287] The first time includes a time during which a downlink signal is not allowed to be received, and the second time includes a time during which a downlink signal is allowed to be received, and the first time and the second time are determined by at least one of the following:

[0288] (1) an On duration of a DRX configuration;

[0289] (2) an inactivity timer;

[0290] (3) a retransmission-timer;

[0291] (4) an active-time;

[0292] The second time includes a time during which a downlink signal is allowed to be sent, and the first time includes a time during which a downlink signal is not allowed to be sent, and the first time and the second time are determined by at least one of the following:

[0293] (1) an On duration of a DTX configuration;

[0294] (2) an inactivity timer;

[0295] (3) a retransmission-timer;

[0296] (4) an active-time;

[0297] or,

[0298] The second time includes a time allowing receiving a downlink signal determined by at least one of the following:

[0299] (1) an On duration of a DRX configuration;

[0300] (2) an inactivity timer;

[0301] (3) a retransmission-timer;

[0302] (4) an active-time.

[0303] Through the above resource validity judgment and the judgment of whether the resource is used for paging transmission, if the network side transmits a downlink signal through a DTX or DRX mode associated with the first information, the paging message is not transmitted or received in the time period determined by the DTX configuration not to transmit or the DRX not to receive, so the terminal does not need to monitor the paging resource located in the DTX or DRX time, through the judgment of the validity of the paging resource, the invalid paging message monitoring is avoided, thereby reducing the monitoring energy consumption of the terminal.

[0304] In an optional embodiment, the method further comprises:

[0305] (1) the terminal receives fourth information from the network side device;

[0306] (2) the terminal determines whether to monitor the paging message on the first resource according to the fourth information;

[0307] The fourth information includes second indication information.

[0308] The second indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal monitors the paging message on at least part of the first resource (optionally, the first indication information can adopt PEI in NR, but it needs to be noted that the second indication information is not the existing PEI, but an enhanced PEI) or whether at least part of the first resource is valid or whether at least part of the first resource is used for paging transmission, the second indication information is associated with the first information, or associated with the cell identifier corresponding to the first information.

[0309] The second indication information satisfies at least one of the following:

[0310] (1) in the case where the second indication information is associated with the first information, the second indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal monitors the paging resource associated with the first information;

[0311] (2) in a case where the second indication information is associated with the first information, the second indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal monitors the reference signal in a first time range, the first time range being a time range between a time corresponding to a time resource carrying the second indication information and a time corresponding to a paging resource associated with the first information;

[0312] For example, the time corresponding to the time resource carrying the second indication information is t1, and the time corresponding to the paging resource associated with the first information is t2. The second indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal monitors the reference signal in the time range t1-t2.

[0313] (3) in a case where the second indication information is associated with a cell identifier corresponding to the first information, the second indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal monitors all paging resources of a cell corresponding to the first information;

[0314] (4) in a case where the second indication information is associated with a cell identifier corresponding to the first information, the second indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal monitors the reference signal in a second time range, the second time range being a time range between a time corresponding to a time resource carrying the second indication information and a time corresponding to any one of all paging resources of the cell corresponding to the first information.

[0315] For example, the time corresponding to the time resource carrying the second indication information is t1, and the time corresponding to any one of all paging resources of the cell corresponding to the first information is t2. The second indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal monitors the reference signal in the time range t1-t2.

[0316] In this way, considering the per-TRP / SSB(group) / carrier PEI indication, the UE monitoring rule in the MTRP scenario can be indicated more flexibly. The UE can be instructed to monitor only the paging information of a certain TRP (for example, the primary TRP) through the indication information, thereby reducing the monitoring energy consumption of the UE and achieving UE energy saving.

[0317] In an optional implementation, the fourth information further includes a third time;

[0318] The third time is used to indicate that the second indication information is valid within the third time, or the second indication information is valid after the third time.

[0319] The third time is used to indicate the duration (for example, N DRX cycles) during which the second indication information is valid, to indicate that the second indication information is valid within the third time (that is, indicating validity within the third time, such as maintaining monitoring or maintaining non-monitoring of the paging message) or valid after the third time (that is, indicating to start to be valid after a certain time);

[0320] Optionally, the third time can be configured for the network or specified by a protocol, or there can be a default specified time (such as 1 DRX cycle or paging cycle).

[0321] In this way, when the network side performs DTX or adjusts the transmission mode of SSB / paging information, in the conventional method, if the UE does not detect the PEI, it still needs to monitor the SSB and PO, causing unnecessary energy consumption. By the first indication information and the first time indicating how long the UE needs / not to monitor, such as a TRP entering sleep, the first indication information associated with it can be configured with a longer first time, which is more helpful for the UE to save energy.

[0322] In an optional implementation, the fourth information further includes a second relationship;

[0323] The second relationship is a mapping relationship between the first information and an indication resource, the indication resource is a time domain resource or a frequency domain resource carrying the second indication information, and the second relationship includes at least one of the following:

[0324] (1) A mapping relationship between the third object set and the indication resource, the third object set being a subset of the object set associated with the first information;

[0325] Taking the object as a reference signal for example:

[0326] The second relationship is a mapping relationship between the third reference signal set and the indication resource, that is, all reference signals in the third reference signal set are mapped to the indication resource.

[0327] Optionally, the third reference signal set is a subset of a set of all reference signals, that is, other reference signals not belonging to the third reference signal set are not associated with the indication resource and are not used to transmit the first indication information.

[0328] (2) The third object set is mapped to the first indication resource, and the fourth object set is mapped to the second indication resource, the first indication resource including the second indication resource, and the fourth object set being associated with at least part of the objects in the third object set;

[0329] Taking the object as a reference signal for example:

[0330] The third reference signal set is associated with the first indication resource, and the fourth reference signal set is associated with the second indication resource, the second indication resource being included in the first indication resource, and the fourth reference signal set being associated with part (or all) of the reference signals in the third reference signal set; the (third or fourth) reference signal set includes one or more reference signals.

[0331] (3) Different third object sets or subsets of different third object sets are independently mapped to the same indication resource.

[0332] For example, different third object sets or subsets of different third object sets are mapped to the same set of indication resources in the preset indication resource set, or different objects are independently mapped to all indication resources in the preset indication resource set.

[0333] The object is taken as a reference signal for illustration:

[0334] Different third signal sets or subsets of different third signal sets are independently associated with the same indication resource.

[0335] In this way, through the first information associated with the indication resource, it can be known that the corresponding indication information is for the first information (for example, it can be known that the indicated paging information is for which TRP or which group of TRPs).

[0336] It can be understood that the above-mentioned second relationship is illustrated by taking the object as a reference signal, and further, it can also be extended to the mapping relationship between the TRP / TRP set and the indication resource, or the mapping relationship between the frequency domain resource information (such as carrier, subband, BWP, etc.) and the indication resource, that is, the second relationship is applicable to each type of case contained in the first information described above.

[0421] The third object set is mapped to the first indication resource, and the fourth object set is mapped to the second indication resource.

[0422] Different third object sets or subsets of different third object sets are independently mapped to the same indication resource.

[0423] The technical solutions of the present application will be described below in conjunction with specific application examples:

[0424] Example 1: Judgment of paging resource validity based on XDD configuration

[0425] The terminal determines the validity of the first resource according to the duplex configuration associated with the first information, and receives the paging message of the network side on the first resource if the first resource is valid; or does not listen to the paging message on the first resource if the first resource is invalid.

[0426] The duplex configuration refers to XDD or TDD format configuration. In this application, the enhanced duplex, enhanced duplex mode, XDD, enhanced full duplex, enhanced full duplex mode, full duplex, and sub-band full duplex (SBFD) can represent one concept.

[0427] The transmission mode of a TRP in a certain time resource (such as a time slot, an OFDM symbol, a subframe, a frame, etc.) can be configured as at least one of the following: uplink transmission UL, downlink transmission DL, flexible transmission X, and duplex transmission SBFD.

[0428] According to the duplex configuration associated with the first information, the UE determines the validity of the first resource and determines whether to listen to the paging message in the first resource.

[0429] Define one of the duplex configurations associated with the first information as the first duplex configuration, if the first resource:

[0430] (1) If the first duplex configuration mode is UL, the first resource is invalid.

[0431] As shown in FIGS. 5a and 5b, TRP3 is UL in slot2, so TRP3 will not send a paging message in slot2, and therefore the UE does not need to listen to the paging message of TRP3 in PO1.

[0432] (2) Or, the first duplex configuration mode is SBFD, as shown in FIG. 5a and FIG. 5b, TRP1 is SBFD in slot2, and

[0433] Method one: Then the first resource is invalid, or the first resource is valid but not used for paging message transmission.

[0434] As shown in FIG. 5a and FIG. 5b, TRP1 does not send a paging message in all subbands in slot2, so the UE does not need to monitor the paging message of TRP1 in PO1.

[0435] Method two: Then the first resource is invalid in the resource overlapping with the uplink frequency domain range (such as uplink subband, UL subband) in the SBFD configuration; optionally, the first resource is valid in the resource overlapping with the downlink frequency domain range (such as downlink subband, DL subband) in the SBFD configuration.

[0436] As shown in FIG. 5a and FIG. 5b, TRP1 does not send a paging message in the uplink subband in slot4, so the UE does not need to monitor the paging message of TRP1 in PO2 in the resource overlapping with the uplink subband; TRP1 can send a paging message in the downlink subband in slot4, so if the paging message of TRP1 to the UE is sent in PO2, the UE needs to monitor the paging message of TRP1 in PO2 in the resource overlapping with the downlink subband.

[0437] (3) Or, the first duplex configuration mode is DL, then the first resource is valid.

[0438] As shown in FIG. 5a and FIG. 5b, TRP1 is DL in slot2, so TRP1 can send a paging message in slot2, so if the paging message of TRP1 to the UE is sent in PO1, the UE needs to monitor the paging message of TRP1 in PO1.

[0439] (4) Or, the first duplex configuration mode is flexible transmission X, then the first resource is valid.

[0440] As shown in FIG. 5a and FIG. 5b, TRP3 is flexible transmission X in slot4, so TRP3 can send a paging message in slot4, so if the paging message of TRP3 to the UE is sent in PO2, the UE needs to monitor the paging message of TRP3 in PO2.

[0441] Further, if the flexible transmission is further dynamically configured as UL or SBFD mode, the first resource is updated as invalid resource, or the first resource is valid but not used for paging message transmission, not used for sending or monitoring the paging message.

[0442] If the first information is associated with multiple duplex configurations, the UE determines whether the first resource corresponding to each duplex configuration is valid according to each duplex configuration, and then:

[0443] Solution 1: If the first resource corresponding to any duplex configuration is valid, the UE needs to listen to the paging message sent by the TRP associated with the duplex configuration on the first resource.

[0444] In this way, the idle frequency band and time resource can be flexibly utilized to realize per-TRP paging.

[0445] Solution 2: If the first resource corresponding to any duplex configuration is invalid, or the first resource is valid but not used for paging message transmission, the TRP corresponding to all duplex configurations associated with the first information does not send a paging message on the first resource, and the UE does not need to listen to the paging message on the first resource.

[0446] In this way, cross interference caused by transmission direction conflicts of multiple duplex configurations in the first resource is avoided, for example, multiple TRPs on the network side all only send paging signals on multiple TRP common DL slots.

[0447] In particular, if a duplex configuration associated with the first information is in a DTX off duration state or in a muting period in the first resource, the influence of the duplex mode on the validity of the first resource is not considered.

[0448] The duplex configuration associated with the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0449] The duplex configuration associated with a reference signal (set); for example, SSB set #1 is associated with the duplex configuration of TRP1, SSB set #2 is associated with the duplex configuration of TRP2, and SSB set #3 is associated with the duplex configuration of TRP3.

[0450] The duplex configuration associated with a TRP or a TRP set;

[0451] The TRP or TRP group can also be a TRP or TRP group associated with a certain specific signal, or a TRP or TRP group associated with a certain reference signal or a certain group of reference signals. The TRP or the like can also be generalized as a repeater / TAG / cell (such as an NTN, a small cell) / IAB / beam / QCL assumption / TCI state or other signal-associated transmission unit in a certain specific use. The TRP in the present application can also correspond to a carrier / carrier group or an SSB / SSB group, or a BWP / BWP group, or a frequency resource / frequency resource group, or a certain transmission mode.

[0452] Embodiment two: paging resource validity determination based on DTX / DRX configuration

[0453] In the present application, activating DTX or DRX means that DTX or DRX is in an active state (active time); deactivating DTX or DRX means that DTX or DRX is in a non-active state (non-active time). Active time can also be referred to as active period, active duration, on duration, on state, on time, on period; non-active time can also be referred to as non-active period, non-active duration, off duration, off state, off time, off period, etc. In addition, the DTX / DRX of the cell or TRP (group) in the present application is a generalized DTX / DRX, which includes the case where DTX affects the transmission of SSB or other RS (such as a special reference signal for RRM measurement in 6G) used for RRM measurement.

[0454] The terminal determines the validity of the first resource according to the DTX / DRX configuration associated with the first information, i.e., determines whether to listen for a paging message in the first resource. The DTX / DRX configuration can be, for example, cell DTX / DRX, TRP DTX / DRX, cell group DTX / DRX, TRP group DTX / DRX, UE / device DTX / DRX, etc.

[0455] (1) Define one of the DTX / DRX configurations associated with the first information as the first DTX / DRX configuration, and if the first resource,

[0456] If the first information is located in the first DTX-DRX time, then the first resource (associated with the device of the first DTX / DRX configuration) is invalid and is not used for the transmission or listening of the paging message; or, the first resource is valid and is associated with the first information, but is not used for the transmission or listening of the paging message.

[0457] The first DTX-DRX time is the time determined by the On duration or the inactivity timer or the retransmission-timer or the active-time of the DTX configuration, which is not allowed for TX, or the time determined by the On duration or the inactivity timer or the retransmission-timer or the active-time of the DRX configuration, which is not allowed for RX.

[0458] As shown in FIG. 5a and FIG. 5c, TRP1 is in the off state in PO1 and PO4, so no paging message will be sent in PO1 and PO4, and therefore the UE does not need to listen to the paging message of TRP1 in PO1 and PO4.

[0459] If the first information is located in the second DTX-DRX time, then the first resource (associated with the device of the first DTX / DRX configuration) is valid and is used for the transmission or listening of the paging message.

[0460] The second DTX-DRX time is the time determined by the On duration or the inactivity timer or the retransmission-timer or the active-time of the DTX configuration, which is allowed for TX, or the time determined by the On duration or the inactivity timer or the retransmission-timer or the active-time of the DRX configuration, which is allowed for RX.

[0461] As shown in FIG. 5a and FIG. 5c, TRP1 is in the on state in PO2, PO3 and PO5, so a paging message will be sent in PO2, PO3 and PO5, and if the paging message of TRP1 to the first terminal is sent in the first paging occasion (for example, at least one of PO2, PO3 or PO5), the first terminal needs to listen to the paging message of TRP1 in the first paging occasion.

[0462] If the first information is associated with multiple DTX / DRX configurations, the UE determines whether the first resource corresponding to each DTX / DRX configuration is valid / used for the transmission or listening of the paging message according to each DTX / DRX configuration, and if there is any DTX / DRX configuration corresponding to the first resource which is valid / used for the transmission or listening of the paging message, the UE needs to listen to the paging message sent by the TRP associated with the DTX / DRX configuration on the first resource.

[0463] The execution subject of the paging method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be a paging device. The paging device is taken as an example in the embodiments of the present application to illustrate the paging device provided in the embodiments of the present application.

[0464] The paging device provided in the embodiments of the present application can be a communication device or a component in a communication device, for example, a chip. The communication device can be a terminal, a network side device or a server, etc. For example, the terminal can include but is not limited to the types of the terminal 11 listed above, the network side device can include but is not limited to the types of the network side device 12 listed above, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations.

[0465] The paging device can include a receiving module, a sending module and a processing module. The receiving module, the sending module and the processing module can be implemented by software or by hardware. When implemented by hardware, the processing module can be implemented by a processor, for example, a general processor, a special purpose processor, etc., for example, a central processing unit (CPU), a microprocessor, a digital signal processor (DSP), an artificial intelligent (AI) processor, a graphics processing unit (GPU), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a network processor (NP), a field programmable gate array (FPGA) or other programmable logic devices, a gate circuit, a transistor, a discrete hardware component, etc. The receiving module and the sending module can be implemented by a communication interface, which can include one or more of a transceiver, a pin, a circuit, a bus, a radio frequency unit, etc.
