Early Paging Indication Monitoring via Subgroup ID Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently monitoring early paging indications, particularly in determining the appropriate paging subgrouping method for user equipment (UE) in 5G and beyond networks, which affects the timely and accurate delivery of paging messages.
Innovation Solution
The method involves a UE and a base station that determine whether system information configures subgrouping for UE identity-based subgrouping; if not configured, the UE or base station monitors early paging indications based on a subgroup ID assigned by the core network, allowing for flexible paging subgrouping methods.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If UE identity-based subgrouping is used for monitoring early paging indication, then paging message delivery accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases due to configuration requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between different subgrouping methods (UE identity-based vs. network-assigned) based on configuration parameters. When UE identity-based subgrouping is configured, the system uses UE identifiers to determine paging subgroups; when not configured, it falls back to network-assigned subgrouping. This parameter-driven approach allows flexible adaptation to different network conditions without requiring complex manual configuration.
2Ease of operation
If network-assigned subgroup ID is used, then ease of operation is improved, but paging monitoring efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The UE autonomously determines which subgrouping method to use by checking system information for configuration indicators. When UE identity-based subgrouping is available and configured, the UE automatically uses its own identifier to determine its paging subgroup, eliminating the need for network-side manual assignment. This self-service mechanism simplifies UE operation while maintaining high monitoring efficiency through accurate subgroup identification.

AI summary
The disclosure provides a method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The method includes receiving system information, identifying whether first information on a number of subgroups for UE identity (ID) based subgrouping is configured in the system information, and monitoring a paging early indication, wherein in case that the first information is not configured, the paging early indication is monitored based on a subgroup ID assigned by a core network (CN).
