[0288] In some embodiments, energy efficiency is a performance index in the wireless communication network. In some embodiments, controlling power consumption and reducing energy cost is discussed for developing and deploying a wireless communication network. In some embodiments, from a network perspective, cell Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) and / or Discontinuous Reception (DRX) may be used to improve the energy efficiency, but frequent cell DTX / DRX on and off switch may increase network energy consumption. The longer the cell DTX and / or DRX cycle is, the more network power is saved. In some embodiments, the paging occasions and / or paging frames are evenly distributed across DRX cycles to balance the load from time domain perspective in a cell, which may shorten the duration for network node (e.g., a base station (BS) ) to sleep and increase network energy consumption. In some embodiments, for downlink transmission power limitation, for example, in NTN network with multiple beams, the downlink transmission including SSB, paging etc., may be sent one beam by one beam with in-turns mechanism, the paging occasions and / or paging frames distribution for per beam transmission case should also be considered.
[0289] Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method of paging occasion determination, which converges the paging occasions and / or paging frames together in one DRX cycle from time point of view and leaves long duration for network node to sleep. In such a manner, network energy consumption can be decreased.
[0290] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a method is provided comprising monitoring, by a wireless communication terminal, one or more paging occasions, POs, in one or more paging frames, PFs, based on configuration information received from a wireless communication node.
[0291] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, another method is provided comprising transmitting, by a wireless communication node to a wireless communication terminal, configuration information to allow the wireless communication terminal to detect one or more paging occasions, POs, in one or more paging frames, PFs, based on the configuration information.
[0292] In some embodiments, the wireless communication terminal may be a UE. In some embodiments, the wireless communication node may be a base station (BS) (e.g., gNB) .
[0293] In some embodiments, the one or more PFs are located, concentrated, or converged together in a part of a discontinuous reception, DRX, cycle of the wireless communication terminal.
[0294] In some embodiments, all the PFs in the DRX cycle are located, concentrated, or converged together in a first time period in this DRX cycle. In some embodiments, no PF is in a second time period in this DRX cycle. With such a configuration, the wireless communication node may be able to sleep during the second time period.
[0295] In some embodiments, the wireless communication node may send the configuration information for POs and / or PFs (e.g., to the wireless communication terminal (and other terminals) ) . In some embodiments, the wireless communication node may send paging (or paging message) (e.g., to the wireless communication terminal (and other terminals) ) in the POs based on the configuration information.
[0296] In some embodiments, the wireless communication terminal (and other terminals) may receive the configuration information, and monitors corresponding PO (s) based on the configuration information.
[0297] In the paragraphs below, some aspects of the present disclosure are provided, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Besides, embodiments in different aspects described below can be combined or cross-referenced unless expressly stated otherwise.
[0298] Aspect 1 (Continuous PFs Allocation) :
[0299] To converge the paging occasions (e.g., Paging Frames (PFs) ) together in one Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle from time point of view and leave long duration for network node to sleep, PFs may be allocated continuously in one DRX cycle.
[0300] FIG. 1 shows PFs arranged in one DRX cycle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the PFs are arranged in a part of the DRX cycle continuously.
[0301] In some embodiments, the PF and / or the Paging Occasion (PO) for paging are determined by at least one of the following:

[0316] In some embodiments, with limited number of paging frames, one paging frequency resource (e.g., paging Bandwidth Part (BWP) , paging Common Search Space (CSS) , and / or paging narrow-band) may not be enough for paging capacity. In some embodiments, multiple paging frequency resources (e.g., multiple paging BWPs, multiple paging CSSs, and / or multiple paging narrow-bands) can be used for larger paging capacity.
