In the embodiment of fig. 3, when the RRC layer performs paging message packet packing, N candidate paging message packets are provided, and form a paging message scheduling list to be submitted to the bottom layer for scheduling. As shown in fig. 3, the method for scheduling a paging message according to the embodiment of the present invention includes:

And determining paging message scheduling information corresponding to the N candidate paging message packets according to the channel condition, the size of the single paging message and the demodulation threshold of successful paging. Wherein the paging message scheduling information can be implemented in the form of a paging message scheduling information list. Suppose as shown in table 1 below.
TABLE 1
In this table, "aggregation level/repetition number" of MPDCCH represents a channel condition, "paging number/repetition number/MCS level in an ans.1 encoded paging message packet" represents paging message scheduling information.
The ordering of the three dimensions of paging number, repetition times and MCS level is not limited.

Step 403, the RRC layer submits the paging message scheduling list and the corresponding ans.1 encoded paging message packet to the bottom layer, i.e. the RLC and MAC layers for scheduling.

If the MAC layer can not successfully schedule any record in the paging message scheduling list, the MAC layer informs the high layer of failed scheduling and destroys the paging message scheduling list.

Step 407, the MAC layer performs scheduling.
And the MAC tries to allocate resources one by one according to the elements in the paging message scheduling list sent again by the RRC layer until enough resources can be found to bear a certain candidate paging message in the paging message scheduling list. If enough resources are found to bear a certain candidate paging message in the paging message scheduling list, the remaining attempts of the candidate paging message scheduling information are terminated, and the paging message scheduling list is destroyed after the scheduling is completed. If the MAC layer can not successfully schedule any record in the paging message scheduling list, the MAC layer informs the high layer of failed scheduling and destroys the paging message scheduling list.

In the embodiment of fig. 5, the RRC layer notifies the MAC to report resource information before paging message packet, and then provides N candidate paging message packets to the MAC according to the report result of the MAC resource information, and submits the N candidate paging message packets to the bottom layer for scheduling.

Step 503, the RRC layer determines N candidate paging message packets according to the paging resource availability information, and performs coding to obtain N coded candidate paging message packets. Let N be 2.
Step 504, the RRC layer determines paging message scheduling information corresponding to the N encoded candidate paging message packets, respectively.
Here, the channel condition of the paged user is obtained, wherein the channel condition can be obtained by indirectly estimating the number of times of repeated transmission and aggregation level of the MPDCCH of the paged user recorded by the core network, or other information. And determining paging message scheduling information corresponding to the N candidate paging message packets according to the channel condition, the size of the single paging message and the demodulation threshold of successful paging. Wherein the paging message scheduling information can be implemented in the form of a paging message scheduling information list. Suppose as shown in table 4 below.

And the MAC layer tries to allocate resources one by one according to the records in the paging message scheduling list until enough resources can be found to bear a certain candidate paging message in the paging message scheduling list. If enough resources are found to bear a certain candidate paging message in the paging message scheduling list, the remaining attempts of the candidate paging message scheduling information are terminated, and the paging message scheduling list is destroyed after the scheduling is completed. If the MAC layer can not successfully schedule any record in the paging message scheduling list, the MAC layer informs the high layer of failed scheduling and destroys the paging message scheduling list.
