Paging method, device and system
View Patent ↗Embodiments of the application provide a paging method, device and system. The method includes: when receiving downlink data of a User Equipment (UE) under Light Connection (LC) state, a first evolved Node B (eNB) generating a paging ID for the UE; the first eNB transmits a paging message within a paging area, according to the paging ID.
1. A paging method, comprising:
receiving, by a second evolved Node B (eNB) through an X2 interface, from a first eNB a paging message, to page a User Equipment (UE) in a Light Connection (LC) State, wherein the paging message is transmitted and generated by the first eNB within a paging area, after the first eNB receives downlink data for the UE in the LC state and triggers paging; and
transmitting, by the second eNB, the paging message within the second eNB cell coverage;
wherein the method further includes:
establishing, by the second eNB, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection to the UE;
discarding, by the second eNB, a paging related Non-Access-Stratum (NAS) message carried by the RRC connection establishment process; and
informing, by the second eNB, to the first eNB, a message that the RRC connection has been established with the UE.
2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, by the second eNB, the downlink data from the first eNB; and
transmitting, by the second eNB, the downlink data to the UE.
3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
broadcasting, by the second eNB, paging parameters of the UE under the LC state, by using system information.
4. An evolved Node B (eNB) for implementing the method according to claim 1 , comprising a paging message receiving module and a second paging message transmitting module, wherein
the paging message receiving module is configured to receive from a first eNB a paging message of a User Equipment (UE) in a Light Connection (LC) state through an X2 interface, wherein the paging message is transmitted by the first eNB within a paging area, after receiving downlink data for the UE in the LC state; and
the second paging message transmitting module is configured to transmit the paging message within the eNB cell coverage;
wherein the eNB further includes a second connection establishing module and an informing module, and
wherein the second connection establishing module is configured to establish a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection to the UE, and discard a paging related Non-Access-Stratum (NAS) message carried by the RRC connection establishment process; and
the informing module is configured to inform the first eNB by sending a message that the RRC connection has been established with the UE.
5. An evolved Node B (eNB) for implementing the method according to claim 1 , comprising a processor and a transceiver, wherein
the processor is configured to control the transceiver to receive from a first eNB, a paging message through an X2 interface, for paging a User Equipment (UE) in a Light Connection (LC) state, wherein the paging message is transmitted by the first eNB within a paging area, after the first eNB receives downlink data of the UE under the LC state; and
the transceiver is configured to transmit the paging message in the eNB cell coverage;
wherein the processor is configured to,
establish a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection to the UE;
discard a paging related Non-Access-Stratum (NAS) message carried by the RRC connection establishment process; and
inform the first eNB by sending a message that the RRC connection has been established with the UE.
6. The eNB according to claim 4 , further comprising a downlink data receiving module and a second data transmitting module, wherein
the downlink data receiving module is configured to receive the downlink data from the first eNB; and,
the second data transmitting module is configured to transmit the downlink data to the UE.
7. The eNB according to claim 4 , further comprising a second broadcasting module, wherein the second broadcasting module is configured to broadcast paging parameters of the UE under the LC state, by using system information.
