Paging processing methods, base station and user equipment
Provided are paging processing methods, a base station and a user equipment (UE). A paging processing method is applied to a base station and includes: sending paging indication information carried by at least one bit to one or more user equipments (UEs), where the paging indication information is used to indicate a number of physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) for carrying paging messages corresponding to one paging occasion (PO) scheduled by downlink control information (DCI). In the method, the UEs can be notified of in which PDSCH or PDSCHs paging messages need to be received by the paging indication information being sent to the UEs.

8. A paging processing method, applied to a user equipment (UE), the paging processing method comprising:
receiving paging indication information carried by at least one bit sent by a base station, wherein the paging indication information is used to indicate a number of physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) for carrying paging messages corresponding to one paging occasion (PO) scheduled by downlink control information (DCI); and
monitoring the paging messages corresponding to the one PO based on the paging indication information;
wherein the method further comprises:
sending paging capability information of the UE, wherein the paging capability information is used to indicate that a number of the PDSCHs supported to be monitored by the UE corresponding to one PO;
wherein monitoring the paging messages corresponding to the one PO based on the paging indication information comprises:
monitoring the paging messages on N PDSCHs scheduled by the DCI; wherein the N is less than or equal to M which is the number of the PDSCHs supported to be monitored by the UE corresponding to one PO, and the M and the N are positive integers greater than or equal to 2; or
monitoring the paging messages on a first PDSCH of N PDSCHs scheduled by the DCI, wherein the N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2.
9. The paging processing method according to claim 8 , wherein receiving the paging indication information carried by the at least one bit sent by the base station comprises:
receiving the DCI including the paging indication information sent by the base station, wherein the paging indication information is carried by at least one bit of the DCI.
10. The paging processing method according to claim 9 , wherein the DCI is DCI 1-0, and the paging indication information is carried in a reserved bit field of the DCI 1-0.
11. The paging processing method according to claim 9 , further comprising:
receiving a system message including a maximum number of the PDSCHs allowed to be scheduled by the DCI broadcast by the base station;
wherein the number of the PDSCHs scheduled by the DCI, which is indicated by the paging indication information, is less than or equal to the maximum number of the PDSCHs.
12. The paging processing method according to claim 8 , wherein receiving the paging indication information carried by the at least one bit sent by the base station comprises:
receiving a system message including the paging indication information broadcast by the base station, wherein the paging indication information is carried by at least one bit of the system message.
13. The paging processing method according to claim 8 , wherein sending the paging capability information of the UE comprises:
sending the paging capability information of the UE to the base station or a core network.
