Communication system, particularly, as being applicable to communication system based on MTC, namely terminal unit is MTC terminal device, MTC terminal device
Packet be grouped by its application type supported.It can equally be well applied to other communication systems and terminal unit thereof.
Fig. 1 gives three layers of paging mechanism schematic diagram according to the embodiment of the present invention.
It is applied to the terminal unit of band block functions, carries discernible group character and device identification.Therefore, at this
In invention, utilize group character and/or the device identification of terminal unit, determine paged object.On this basis, it is proposed that
Three layers of paging mechanism.
At ground floor, invention defines paging occasion, paging occasion specifically refers to certain equipment corresponding or certain group equipment
Particular radio frames in specific sub-frame.In the present invention, paging occasion utilizes the group character of terminal unit to determine.Fig. 2
Give paging occasion according to the embodiment of the present invention and paging cycle schematic diagram.
Illustrative as a example by the MTC terminal device of paging MTC service below.
The paging occasion of MTC is with MTC paging cycle for circulation dynamics, and paging cycle is the integral multiple of radio frames.MTC paging
Cycle can be configured, to MTC service, the different paging occasion that communicates with existing H2H by network configuration, MTC network.
MTC paging occasion utilizes MTC group character to be determined, such as, can use following method, radio frames be
System frame label (SFN) is calculated by formula (1) and obtains, and the calculating of subframe mark is defined by formula (2).
SFN mod T=(T/N) * (group ID mod N), (1)
I_s=(group ID/N) mod Ns, (2)
Wherein T is paging cycle, N be network configuration paging cycle in the number of paging frame, i_s is subframe label, Ns
It it is the number of paging subframe in the middle of a radio frames.Determine that the circular of paging occasion is not the discussion model of the present invention
Farmland.
The network equipment sends physical layer paging mark in the time that paging occasion is corresponding；It is in the MTC device of idle condition
Wake up in the MTC paging occasion corresponding with its affiliated group character, and check the paging mark of physical layer.If not finding to seek
Exhale mark, then this time paging terminates.If it find that paging mark, perform paging operation and the process of the second layer.Specific
Paging occasion, only wake up corresponding to the terminal unit of this specific paging occasion and check the paging mark of physical layer, so
The purpose done is to reduce paging range to the specific MTC device of only paging；And the most paged other-end equipment keeps sky
Not busy state, will not waste power.
It should be noted that MTC device is the same with existing H2H subscriber equipment, there is one's own ID.And root
According to different packets, having affiliated group character, by OAM mode, MTC equipment can know that oneself affiliated MTC is grouped, packet
Mark leaves in the SIM of equipment；The group forming criterion of MTC can distribute different MTC according to the application difference of MTC service
Packet, such as: intelligent meter data recording, automatic vending machine or public safety.Concrete group technology is not limited to this, is not that the present invention begs for
The category of opinion.
At the second layer, paging occasion beep-page message interface aloft sends, for paging target device.Send
In beep-page message, carry the group character of paged object and/or the ID of terminal unit, only read belonging to oneself
MTC group character or the terminal unit of the device identification of oneself just enter the paging operation of third layer, so to reduce paging
Scope.The packet of multiple terminal units or multiple terminal unit can be instructed in same beep-page message, and this beep-page message can
Sent by wireless heterogeneous networks (RRC) signaling.Be only carry the group character of paged object or only carry paged right
The device identification of elephant or both carry, depends on the cell structure design of beep-page message, may for one group of equipment be
With group character for first order cell, then device identification is second level cell；It is likely to group character and device identification is only
Vertical sane level cell.The design of the present invention is applicable to the cell structure design of various beep-page message, does not repeats at this.
Further, at the second layer, according to the geographical area information of paged object, the paging sending beep-page message is determined
Region, network only can send beep-page message at the paging domain determined.The geographical area information of paging object, including such as: little
District identifies, and tracking area (TA) identifies, lane place (LA) mark or Route Area (RA) mark.TA, RA and LA are that core stratum reticulare moves
The region of mobility management, is used for so that equipment of the core network is followed the tracks of, the band of position at terminal unit place identifying and controlling, generally

So paging range reduces further.Multiple MTC packet or multiple MTC device can be paged in same MTC paging occasion,
At this layer, specifically which packet or which equipment is paged is just indicated.
If what beep-page message carried is MTC group character, the MTC device of all these packets belonging to instruction is required for
Respond this beep-page message；One or more MTC device also are able to paged, and the MTC device mark carried by beep-page message is come
Realize.If what beep-page message carried is MTC device mark, the MTC device being only instructed to needs to respond this beep-page message；
In beep-page message, the most only find oneself affiliated MTC group character or the MTC terminal device of the device identification of oneself, just hold
The paging operation of row paging third layer；If MTC device does not find oneself affiliated MTC packet mark in beep-page message
Knowledge or the device identification of oneself, this paging terminates.
In third layer, paged terminal unit is apprised of the operation that network needs them to carry out, say, that this layer
Notifying paged all devices, network initiates the reason of paging；And terminal unit carries out corresponding response.Paging is former
Because being included in beep-page message transmission.The possible cause of paging includes, call setup, up report or acquisition system message,
It is not excluded for other paging reasons herein.If paging reason is call setup, then paged terminal unit is initiated to network
Call establishment.If paging reason is up report, then mean that network wishes paged terminal unit feedback one
Individual report；If paging reason is to obtain system message, show network requirement terminal unit read system message.
As a example by MTC terminal device, the second layer find in beep-page message oneself affiliated MTC group character and/or
Paging reason in the further reading gating message of MTC terminal device of the device identification of oneself, if paging reason is up
Report, then mean that network wishes paged MTC device one report of feedback；If paging reason is to obtain MTC system
