Abstract

Provided are a method for paging, a network device, and a terminal device. The method for paging comprises: a network device determining a target synchronization signal block (SSB) in a plurality of SSBs of a current bandwidth carrier; and the network device sending a paging message of the terminal device to the terminal device at a frequency domain location where the target SSB is located. In embodiments of the present invention, a target SSB is determined in a plurality of SSBs of a current bandwidth carrier, such that a network device only needs to send a paging message of a terminal device to the terminal device at a frequency domain location where the target SSB is located, effectively reducing load on the network side in the sending of paging messages.
