Method of transmitting and receiving paging messages in wirelss communication system
A method of transmitting and receiving paging messages in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method of transmitting paging messages in a wireless communication system comprises transmitting paging messages to a plurality of user equipments from a network of the wireless communication system, wherein the network transmits the paging messages to different user equipments, which are in different connection states, through different channels.
1. A method of receiving a paging message at user equipment in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
transmitting capability indication information from the user equipment which is able to receive paging messages through a high speed downlink physical shared channel (HS-PDSCH), the capability indication information indicating that the user equipment is able to receive a paging message on the high speed downlink physical shared channel in a PCH state;
monitoring a high speed shared control channel (HS-SCCH) and identifying an HS-SCCH control message using an HS-DSCH radio network identifier (H-RNTI) that corresponds to the user equipment and
receiving the paging message transmitted from the network on the HS-PDSCH using the control message.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PCH state is a state in which information can be transmitted and received between specific protocol layers of the network and the user equipment.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the specific protocol layers are radio resource control (RRC) layers.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the user equipment receives the paging message on a secondary common control channel (S-CCPCH) to which a paging channel is mapped if the user equipment is in an idle state.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving paging indication information from the network on a paging indication channel (PICH).
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving the paging message on the HS-PDSCH using a HS-PDSCH code and a transport block size broadcast in system information, if the user equipment does not have stored therein an H-RNTI.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting capability indication information from the user equipment to the network comprises transmitting the capability indication information in a radio resource control (RRC) connection request message or in an RRC connection complete message.
8. User equipment for receiving a paging message in a wireless communication network, the user equipment comprising:
a transmitter adapted to transmit capability indication information from the user equipment to the network, the capability indication information indicating that the user equipment is able to receive a high speed downlink physical shared channel (HS-PDSCH) in a PCH state; and
a receiver adapted to monitor a high speed shared control channel (HS-SCCH) and receive an HS-SCCH control message that contains an HS-DSCH radio network identifier (H-RNTI) corresponding to the user equipment, the receiver further adapted to receive the paging message transmitted from the network on the HS-PDSCH using the control message, wherein the receiver is further adapted to receive the paging message on a secondary common control channel (S-CCPCH).
9. The user equipment of claim 8 , wherein the PCH state is a state in which information can be transmitted and received between specific protocol layers of the network and the user equipment.
10. The user equipment of claim 9 , wherein the specific protocol layers are radio resource control (RRC) layers.
11. The user equipment of claim 8 , wherein the receiver is further adapted to receive the paging message on a secondary common control channel (S-CCPCH) to which a paging channel is mapped if the user equipment is in an idle state.
12. The user equipment of claim 8 , wherein the receiver is further adapted to receive paging indication information from the network on a paging indication channel (PICH).
13. The user equipment of claim 8 , wherein the receiver is further adapted to receive the paging message on the HS-PDSCH using a HS-PDSCH code and a transport block size broadcasted in system information, if no H-RNTI is stored in the user equipment.
14. The user equipment of claim 8 , wherein the capability indication information is included in a radio resource control (RRC) connection request message or in an RRC connection complete message, wherein the RRC connection request message or the RRC connection complete message is to be transmitted from the user equipment to the network.
15. A method of receiving a paging message at user equipment in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
transmitting capability indication information from the user equipment which receives paging messages on a secondary common control channel (S-CCPCH) when the user equipment is in an idle state and receives paging messages through a high speed downlink physical shared channel (HS-PDSCH) when the user equipment is in a PCH state, the capability indication information indicating that the user equipment is able to receive a paging message on the high speed downlink physical shared channel (HS-PDSCH) in the PCH state;
monitoring a high speed shared control channel (HS-SCCH) and identifying an HS-SCCH control message using an HS-DSCH radio network identifier (H-RNTI); and
receiving the paging message transmitted from the network on the HS-PDSCH using the control message.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the PCH state is a state in which information can be transmitted and received between specific protocol layers of the network and the user equipment.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the specific protocol layers are radio resource control (RRC) layers.
18. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:
receiving paging indication information from the network on a paging indication channel (PICH).
19. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:
receiving the paging message on the HS-PDSCH using a HS-PDSCH code and a transport block size broadcast in system information, if the user equipment does not have stored therein an H-RNTI.
20. The method of claim 15 , wherein transmitting capability indication information from the user equipment to the network comprises transmitting the capability indication information in a radio resource control (RRC) connection request message or in an RRC connection complete message.
