Abstract

The present application provides a wireless communication method, a terminal, and a network device. One example method includes: receiving, by a terminal in a first terminal group, PEI sent by a network device, wherein terminal belongs to a terminal group, the PEI indicates whether at least one terminal in the terminal group is to receive paging indication information, and the terminal group corresponds to a paging occasion (PO) group.

Claims (34)

1. A wireless communication method, comprising:

receiving, by a terminal, a paging early indication (PEI) sent by a network device, wherein the terminal belongs to a terminal group in multiple terminal groups, the PEI indicates whether at least one terminal in the terminal group is to receive paging indication information, and wherein one paging cycle comprises a plurality of paging occasion (PO) groups, each terminal group in the multiple terminal groups corresponds to a respective PO group in the plurality of PO groups, different terminal groups in the multiple terminal groups correspond to different PO groups in the plurality of PO groups, and a quantity of the multiple terminal groups is equal to a quantity of the plurality of PO groups in the one paging cycle;

determining, by the terminal, based on the PEI, whether to monitor the PO group; and

in response to determining to monitor the PO group based on the PEI, monitoring, by the terminal, the PO group to receive the paging indication information.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of PO groups has a same quantity of POs.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein POs in the plurality of PO groups do not overlap.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein POs in the one paging cycle sequentially form the plurality of PO groups.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a start physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion of a PO in the PO group is determined based on a parameter firstPDCCH-MonitoringOccasionOfPO.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a resource location at which the terminal receives the PEI is indicated in a system information block (SIB1).

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal is allocated to the terminal group based on at least one of a capability, a mode, and service information of the terminal.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein identification (ID) information of the terminal group is received by the terminal through a radio resource control (RRC) connection configuration message.

9. A wireless communication method, comprising:

sending, by a network device, a paging early indication (PEI) to a terminal, wherein the terminal belongs to a terminal group in multiple terminal groups, the PEI indicates whether at least one terminal in the terminal group is to receive paging indication information, and wherein one paging cycle comprises a plurality of paging occasion (PO) groups, each terminal group in the multiple terminal groups corresponds to a respective PO group in the plurality of PO groups, different terminal groups in the multiple terminal groups correspond to different PO groups in the plurality of PO groups, and a quantity of the multiple terminal groups is equal to a quantity of the plurality of PO groups in the one paging cycle;

determining, by the terminal, based on the PEI, whether to monitor the PO group; and

in response to determining to monitor the PO group based on the PEI, monitoring, by the terminal, the PO group to receive the paging indication information.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein each of the plurality of PO groups has a same quantity of POs.

11. The method according to claim 9 , wherein POs in the plurality of PO groups do not overlap.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein POs in the one paging cycle sequentially form the plurality of PO groups.

13. The method according to claim 9 , wherein a start physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion of a PO in the PO group is determined based on a parameter firstPDCCH-MonitoringOccasionOfPO.

14. The method according to claim 9 , wherein a resource location at which the terminal receives the PEI is indicated in a system information block (SIB1).

15. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the terminal is allocated to the terminal group based on at least one of a capability, a mode, and service information of the terminal.

16. The method according to claim 9 , wherein identification (ID) information of the terminal group is received by the terminal through a radio resource control (RRC) connection configuration message.

17. A terminal, comprising:

at least one processor; and

one or more memories coupled to the at least one processor and storing programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor to cause the terminal to perform operations comprising:

receiving, by the terminal, a paging early indication (PEI) sent by a network device, wherein the terminal belongs to a terminal group in multiple terminal groups, the PEI indicates whether at least one terminal in the terminal group is to receive paging indication information, and wherein one paging cycle comprises a plurality of paging occasion (PO) groups, each terminal group in the multiple terminal groups corresponds to a respective PO group in the plurality of PO groups, different terminal groups in the multiple terminal groups correspond to different PO groups in the plurality of PO groups, and a quantity of the multiple terminal groups is equal to a quantity of the plurality of PO groups in the one paging cycle;

determining, by the terminal, based on the PEI, whether to monitor the PO group; and

in response to determining to monitor the PO group based on the PEI, monitoring, by the terminal, the PO group to receive the paging indication information.

18. A network device, comprising:

at least one processor; and

one or more memories coupled to the at least one processor and storing programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor to cause the network device to perform operations comprising:

sending, by the network device, a paging early indication (PEI) to a terminal, wherein the terminal belongs to a terminal group in multiple terminal groups, the PEI indicates whether at least one terminal in the terminal group is to receive paging indication information, and wherein one paging cycle comprises a plurality of paging occasion (PO) groups, each terminal group in the multiple terminal groups corresponds to a respective PO group in the plurality of PO groups, different terminal groups in the multiple terminal groups correspond to different PO groups in the plurality of PO groups, and a quantity of the multiple terminal groups is equal to a quantity of the plurality of PO groups in the one paging cycle;

determining, by the terminal, based on the PEI, whether to monitor the PO group; and

in response to determining to monitor the PO group based on the PEI, monitoring, by the terminal, the PO group to receive the paging indication information.
