Wireless telecommunications apparatuses and methods

1. Circuitry for a relay node for assisting with paging of a terminal, by a base station and via the relay node, wherein the terminal is configured to communicate with the base station via the relay node, wherein the circuitry comprises a controller and a transceiver configured to operate together to:

monitor a paging time for a destination identifier for paging messages for the terminal, the terminal being identified by a paging identifier in the paging message, wherein the paging identifier is a temporary identifier that differs from a permanent identifier for the terminal and is associated with a same paging time as the permanent identifier; and

monitor the paging time for a relay identifier of the relay node for paging messages for the relay node.

2. The circuitry of claim 1 , wherein the destination identifier is one of the paging identifier and the relay identifier.

3. The circuitry of claim 1 being further configured to:

receive a paging message transmitted at the paging time for the destination identifier and including the paging identifier; and

relay the received paging message to the terminal.

4. The circuitry of claim 1 being further configured to:

receive a paging message transmitted at the paging time for the destination identifier and for the relay node including the paging identifier; and

relay the received paging message for the destination identifier to the terminal.

5. The circuitry of claim 1 being further configured to:

receive a terminal identifier for the terminal from the base station or the terminal; and

use the terminal identifier as one or both of the destination identifier and paging identifier.

6. The circuitry of claim 5 being further configured to:

notify the terminal or the base station of the terminal identifier.

7. A terminal for receiving paging messages from a base station, the terminal being configured to:

monitor a paging time for a relay identifier of a relay node for paging messages including a paging identifier, wherein the paging identifier is for identifying the terminal at least in paging messages, wherein the paging identifier is a temporary identifier that differs from a permanent identifier for the terminal and is associated with a same paging time as the permanent identifier.

8. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the terminal is further configured to:

allocate a terminal identifier for the terminal.

9. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the terminal is further configured to:

notify the relay node of the terminal identifier.

10. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the terminal is configured to receive a terminal identifier from the relay node.

11. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the terminal is configured to notify the relay node of the paging identifier.

12. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the terminal is configured to receive a paging message at the paging time.

13. Circuitry for a terminal for receiving paging messages from a base station, wherein the circuitry comprises a controller and a transceiver configured to operate together to monitor a paging time for a relay identifier of a relay node for paging messages including a paging identifier, wherein the paging identifier is for identifying the terminal at least in paging messages, wherein the paging identifier is a temporary identifier that differs from a permanent identifier for the terminal and is associated with a same paging time as the permanent identifier.

14. The circuitry of claim 3 , further configured to:

allocate a terminal identifier for the terminal.

15. The circuitry of claim 14 , further configured to:

notify the relay node of the terminal identifier.

16. The circuitry of claim 13 , further configured to receive a terminal identifier from the relay node.

17. The circuitry of claim 13 , further configured to notify the relay node of the paging identifier.
