Abstract

Provided are a paging method and device in an unlicensed band. The method may include receiving configuration information about at least two paging occasions (POs) for paging in an unlicensed band; and sequentially monitoring a downlink control channel (PDCCH) in the paging occasions until a paging message is received on the basis of the configuration information.

Claims (24)

1. A method for performing paging in an unlicensed band by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving configuration information about a paging occasion (PO) for paging in the unlicensed band; and

monitoring a downlink control channel (PDCCH) in the paging occasion based on the configuration information,

wherein the monitoring of the PDCCH includes monitoring a paging message by identifying whether there is a PDCCH scrambled with a paging—radio network temporary identifier (P-RNTI) in the paging occasion configured of a plurality of PDCCH monitoring regions, and

wherein the configuration information includes information indicating a number of the plurality of PDCCH monitoring regions constituting the paging occasion and start position information for the PDCCH monitoring region.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information indicating the number of the plurality of PDCCH monitoring regions is 2 or 3.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of PDCCH monitoring regions is configured at a predetermined interval, and wherein the predetermined interval is 1.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the monitoring of the PDCCH includes, when there is no PDCCH scrambled with the P-RNTI in a first PDCCH monitoring region among the plurality of PDCCH monitoring regions, monitoring whether the PDCCH scrambled with the P-RNTI is present in a second PDCCH monitoring region.

5. A method for performing paging in an unlicensed band by a base station, the method comprising:

transmitting configuration information about a paging occasion (PO) for paging in the unlicensed band; and

transmitting a downlink control channel (PDCCH) in the paging occasion based on the configuration information,

wherein the transmitting of the PDCCH includes a PDCCH scrambled with a paging—radio network temporary identifier (P-RNTI) in the paging occasion configured of a plurality of PDCCH monitoring regions, and

wherein the configuration information includes information indicating a number of the plurality of PDCCH monitoring regions constituting the paging occasion and start position information for the PDCCH monitoring region.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the information indicating the number of the plurality of PDCCH monitoring regions is 2 or 3.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of PDCCH monitoring regions may be configured at a predetermined interval, and wherein the predetermined interval is 1.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the transmitting of the PDCCH includes transmitting the PDCCH scrambled with the P-RNTI only in any one PDCCH monitoring region among the plurality of PDCCH monitoring regions.

9. A user equipment (UE) for performing paging in an unlicensed band, the UE comprising:

a receiver configured to receive configuration information about a paging occasion (PO) for paging in the unlicensed band; and

a controller configured to monitor a downlink control channel (PDCCH) in the paging occasion based on the configuration information,

wherein the controller monitors a paging message by identifying whether there is a PDCCH scrambled with a paging-radio network temporary identifier (P-RNTI) in the paging occasion configured of a plurality of PDCCH monitoring regions, and

wherein the configuration information includes information indicating a number of the plurality of PDCCH monitoring regions constituting the paging occasion and start position information for the PDCCH monitoring region.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the information indicating the number of the plurality of PDCCH monitoring regions is 2 or 3.

11. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of PDCCH monitoring regions may be configured at a predetermined interval, and wherein the predetermined interval is 1.

12. The UE of claim 9 , wherein when there is no PDCCH scrambled with the P-RNTI in a first PDCCH monitoring region among the plurality of PDCCH monitoring regions, the controller monitors whether the PDCCH scrambled with the P-RNTI is present in a second PDCCH monitoring region.
