Abstract

A second base station receives, from a first base station, a radio access network (RAN) paging message for a wireless device. The RAN paging message comprises a parameter indicating whether the wireless device is allowed to access a non-closed access group (CAG) cell. The second base station sends a second paging message via a cell determined based on the cell being the non-CAG cell and the parameter indicating that the wireless device is allowed to access a non-CAG cell.

Claims (50)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a second base station from a first base station, a radio access network (RAN) paging message for a wireless device, the RAN paging message comprising a parameter, wherein:

the parameter being a first value indicates that the wireless device is allowed to access a non-closed access group (CAG) cell; and

the parameter being a second value indicates that the wireless device is not allowed to access the non-CAG cell; and

sending a second paging message via a cell determined based on:

the cell being the non-CAG cell; and

the parameter being the first value.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RAN paging message comprises a list of one or more CAG identifiers of the wireless device.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising sending another second paging message via another cell determined based on:

a CAG identifier of the another cell being in the list of one or more CAG identifiers of the wireless device.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising avoiding sending the second paging message via the cell based on:

the cell being the non-CAG cell; and

the parameter being the second value.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first base station is a last serving base station of the wireless device.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless device is in a radio resource control inactive mode.

7. A method comprising:

sending, by a first base station to a second base station, a radio access network (RAN) paging message for a wireless device, the RAN paging message comprising a parameter, wherein:

the parameter being a first value indicates that the wireless device is allowed to access a non-closed access group (CAG) cell; and

the parameter being a second value indicates that the wireless device is not allowed to access the non-CAG cell.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the RAN paging message comprises:

a list of one or more CAG identifiers of the wireless device.

9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising receiving, from a network function, a message for the wireless device, wherein the wireless device is in a radio resource control inactive state.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the sending the RAN paging message is in response to the receiving the message from the network function.

11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising sending a second paging message for the wireless device based on the receiving the message from the network function.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the sending the second paging message is via a cell of the first base station determined based on:

the cell being the non-CAG cell; and

the parameter being the first value.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the network function is one or more of:

a user plane function; and

an access and mobility management function.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the message is one or more of:

a data packet; and

a signaling message.

15. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first base station is a last serving base station of the wireless device.

16. A method comprising:

receiving, by a base station from a network function, a message comprising a user data packet for a wireless device associated with a parameter, wherein:

the parameter being a first value indicates that the wireless device is allowed to access a non-closed access group (CAG) cell; and

the parameter being a second value indicates that the wireless device is not allowed to access the non-CAG cell; and

sending, by the base station and based on the message, a paging message via a cell determined based on:

the cell being a non-CAG cell; and

the parameter being the first value.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the network function is one or more of:

a user plane function; and

an access and mobility management function.

18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the base station is a last serving base station of the wireless device.

19. The method of claim 16 , further comprising avoiding sending the paging message via the cell based on:

the cell being the non-CAG cell; and

the parameter being the second value.

20. The method of claim 16 , further comprising sending another paging message via another cell determined based on:

a CAG identifier of the another cell being in a list of one or more CAG identifiers of the wireless device.
