Abstract

Method, device, base station and user equipment for implementing paging monitoring are described. At a base station side, the method includes: grouping a user equipment in a cell controlled by the base station, and allocating a group identifier to each group; for each user equipment, transmitting the group identifier corresponding to the user equipment and a paging indicator monitoring occasion to the user equipment; transmitting a paging indicator to the user equipment currently required to be paged or scheduled. At a user equipment side, the method includes: receiving a group identifier and a paging indicator monitoring occasion transmitted from a base station; monitoring a paging indicator at the paging indicator monitoring occasion; starting to monitor paging control information, when it is monitored that the paging indicator contains the group identifier.

Claims (13)

1. A method for implementing a paging monitoring, being applied in a base station and comprising:

grouping user equipment in a cell controlled by the base station, and allocating a group identifier to each group;

for each user equipment, transmitting the group identifier corresponding to the user equipment and a paging indicator monitoring occasion to the user equipment; and

transmitting a paging indicator to the user equipment currently required to be paged or scheduled, wherein the paging indicator carries the group identifier of the user equipment required to be paged or scheduled, so that the user equipment monitors paging control information according to the paging indicator,

wherein the paging indicator is confined within n symbols before an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbol where the primary synchronization signal or the secondary synchronization signal is located and a bandwidth where the primary synchronization signal or the secondary synchronization signal is located.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein grouping the user equipment in the cell controlled by the base station comprises: grouping the user equipment in a connected state and the user equipment in an idle state or an inactive state respectively.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein, for each user equipment in the connected state, transmitting the group identifier corresponding to the user equipment and a paging indicator monitoring occasion to the user equipment comprises: for each user equipment, transmitting the group identifier corresponding to the user equipment and the paging indicator monitoring occasion to the user equipment through a system message, a radio resource control signaling or a downlink control signaling; and

for each user equipment in the idle state or the inactive state, transmitting the group identifier corresponding to the user equipment and a paging indicator monitoring occasion to the user equipment comprises: for each user equipment, transmitting the group identifier corresponding to the user equipment and the paging indicator monitoring occasion to the user equipment through a system message.

4. A base station, comprising a device for implementing a paging monitoring, wherein the device comprises:

a grouping circuitry, configured to group user equipment in a cell controlled by the base station, and allocating a group identifier to each group;

a first transmission circuitry, configured to: for each user equipment, transmit the group identifier corresponding to the user equipment and a paging indicator monitoring occasion to the user equipment; and

a second transmission circuitry, configured to transmit a paging indicator to the user equipment currently required to be paged or scheduled, wherein the paging indicator carries the group identifier of the user equipment required to be paged or scheduled, so that the user equipment monitors paging control information according to the paging indicator,

wherein the paging indicator is confined within n symbols before an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbol where the primary synchronization signal or the secondary synchronization signal is located and a bandwidth where the primary synchronization signal or the secondary synchronization signal is located.
