Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a paging indication method according to an exemplary embodiment, and fig. 2 is a scene diagram illustrating a paging indication method according to an exemplary embodiment; the paging indication method may be used for a base station. As shown in fig. 1, the paging indication method includes the following steps 110 and 130:

In step 110, a first Paging Occasion (Paging interference) is configured, and the first Paging Occasion is used for characterizing a Paging Indication (Paging Indication).

In step 120, a second Paging occasion is configured, where the second Paging occasion is used to characterize a Paging Message (Paging Message).

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the base station configures the first paging occasion and the second paging occasion in each configuration period, i.e., within 20 ms.

In step 130, the first paging occasion and the second paging occasion are sent to the UE, so that the UE determines a corresponding paging indication according to the first paging occasion and determines a corresponding paging message according to the second paging occasion.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the base station may send the configured first paging occasion and second paging occasion to the UE through a system message.

In an exemplary scenario, as shown in fig. 2, a base station, a smartphone as a UE, is included. The base station configures a first paging occasion which is used for representing a paging indication, configures a second paging occasion which is used for representing a paging message, and sends the first paging occasion and the second paging occasion to the smart phone, and the smart phone can determine a corresponding paging indication according to the received first paging occasion and determine a corresponding paging message according to the received second paging occasion, so that the smart phone can determine different contents at different paging occasions, and the efficiency of paging indication is improved.

As can be seen from the above embodiments, by configuring a first paging occasion, where the first paging occasion is used to represent a paging indication, and configuring a second paging occasion, where the second paging occasion is used to represent a paging message, the first paging occasion and the second paging occasion are sent to a UE, so that the UE can determine different contents at different paging occasions, thereby improving efficiency of the paging indication.

In an embodiment, in step 110, the paging indicator may be used to indicate that there is an update in the system message or to indicate that there is a paging message.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the paging indication is used to indicate that the system message has an update, the system message having the update is for all UEs. If the paging indication is used to indicate that there is a paging message, the paging message is for a group or multiple UEs. In addition, the paging indication may also be used to indicate no paging message, or not directly indicate no paging message, but default to no paging message except for indicating both the case of system message update and the case of paging message.

As can be seen from the above embodiments, the paging indicator is only used to indicate that there is a paging message, but does not include a paging message, so that the paging indicator does not use PDSCH transmission, but only lives in PDCCH, which can save bandwidth resources.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3A, the configuring the first paging occasion may include the following steps 310 and 330:

in step 310, the configuration number corresponding to the first paging occasion in each configuration period is determined.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in a 5G system, each configuration period may be 20 ms. One or more first paging occasions can be configured according to actual conditions in the configuration period.

In step 320, the configuration position corresponding to each first paging occasion is determined according to the determined configuration number.

In step 330, a corresponding first paging occasion is configured at each determined configuration location.

It can be seen from the above embodiments that, by determining the configuration number corresponding to the first paging occasion in each configuration period, determining the configuration location corresponding to each first paging occasion according to the determined configuration number, and configuring the corresponding first paging occasion at each determined configuration location, the location configuration function of the first paging occasion is implemented, so that the UE can detect the first paging occasion as soon as possible to determine the corresponding paging indication, thereby improving the efficiency of the paging indication.

In an embodiment, in the step 310, the configuration number is one; the determining the configuration position corresponding to each first paging occasion according to the configuration number includes:

A first configuration position corresponding to a first paging occasion is determined in a Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) manner, and the first configuration position is the same as a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) in a time domain.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if only one first paging occasion needs to be configured, the first paging occasion and the SSB may be frequency division multiplexed, that is, the first paging occasion and the SSB are the same in time domain and different in frequency domain (FDM mode). As shown in fig. 3B, the PO and the SSB are the same in the time domain, where PO refers to the first paging occasion.

It can be seen from the above embodiments that, when a first paging occasion needs to be configured, a first configuration position corresponding to the first paging occasion can be determined according to the FDM manner, and the first configuration position is the same as the SSB in the time domain, so that the UE detects the first paging occasion when receiving the SSB, thereby saving energy consumption of the UE.

In an embodiment, in the step 310, the configuration number is multiple; the determining the configuration position corresponding to each first paging occasion according to the configuration number includes:

and determining second configuration positions corresponding to the first paging occasions by selecting a mode of combining FDM (frequency Division Multiplexing) and Time Division Multiplexing (TDM), wherein one second configuration position is the same as the SSB in the Time domain, and other second configuration positions are adjacent to the SSB in the Time domain.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if only a plurality of first paging occasions need to be configured, one first paging occasion may be configured in the same time of the SSB (FDM manner), and the other first paging occasions are configured in a place near the SSB (TDM manner), as shown in fig. 3C, some POs and SSB are the same in the time domain, some POs are configured in a place near the SSB, and the PO here refers to the first paging occasion; all first paging occasions may also be configured in the vicinity of the SSBs.

It can be seen from the above embodiments that when a plurality of first paging occasions need to be configured, a mode combining FDM and TDM may be used, where one second configuration position is the same as the SSB in the time domain, and other second configuration positions are adjacent to the SSB in the time domain, so that when the UE receives the SSB, the UE detects each first paging occasion as soon as possible, thereby saving energy consumption of the UE.

In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, when configuring the first paging occasion, the following

steps

410 and 420 may be included:

in step 410, a configuration channel corresponding to the first paging occasion is determined.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first paging occasion may be based on a scheduled channel or an unscheduled channel.

In step 420, a corresponding first paging occasion is configured according to the determined configuration channel.

It can be seen from the above embodiments that, by determining the configuration channel corresponding to the first paging occasion and configuring the corresponding first paging occasion according to the determined configuration channel, the channel configuration function of the first paging occasion is achieved, which is convenient for the UE to detect the first paging occasion as soon as possible and determine the corresponding paging indication, thereby improving the efficiency of the paging indication.

In an embodiment, in the step 410, the configured channel is an unscheduled channel, and the unscheduled channel is in a bitmap form.

In this way, when step 420 is executed, the following steps may be included:

(1) if the paging indication is used for indicating that the system message is updated, setting all the positions in the bitmap to be 1;

(2) if the paging indication is used for indicating one or more groups of UE to have paging messages, setting the positions corresponding to the one or more groups of UE in the bitmap to be 1;

(3) and if the paging indication is used for indicating that one group or multiple groups of UE do not have paging messages, setting the positions corresponding to the group or multiple groups of UE in the bitmap to be 0.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if all bits in the bitmap are 1, the bitmap is used to indicate that the system message is updated. If all bits in the bitmap are not 1, for any bit in all bits, the bit of 0 is used for indicating that one group of UE or a plurality of groups of UE do not have paging messages, and the bit of 1 is used for indicating that one group of UE or a plurality of groups of UE have paging messages.

Such as: 100 bits exist in the bitmap, and if the 100 bits are all 1, the bitmap is used for indicating that the system message is updated; if the 100 bits are not all 1, for any one of the 100 bits, the bit is used to indicate whether there is a paging message, the bit is 0 to indicate that there is no paging message for a group of UEs or groups of UEs, and the bit is 1 to indicate that there is a paging message for a group of UEs or groups of UEs.

It can be seen from the above embodiments that the non-scheduling channel is used as the configuration channel of the first paging occasion, and the bit in the bitmap is used to represent the paging indicator, which is convenient for the UE to quickly identify the paging indicator, thereby improving the efficiency of the paging indicator.

In an embodiment, in the step 410, the configuration channel is a scheduling channel, and DCI in the scheduling channel is used to carry the paging indicator.

In this way, when step 420 is executed, the following steps may be included:

(1) and if the paging indication is used for indicating that the system message is updated, adding the paging indication indicating that the system message is updated into the DCI.

(2) And if the paging indication is used for indicating that one or more groups of UE have paging messages, adding the paging indication indicating that one or more groups of UE have paging messages into the DCI.

It can be seen from the above embodiments that the scheduling channel is used as a configuration channel of the first paging occasion, and the DCI in the scheduling channel carries the paging indicator, so that the UE can directly read the paging indicator from the DCI, thereby improving the efficiency of the paging indicator.

In an embodiment, in the step 120, configuring the second paging occasion may include:

configuring one second paging occasion in each configuration period.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in a 5G system, each configuration period may be 20 ms.

In addition, since the beams are scanned in the 5G system and only a part of the UEs that know that there is a paging message can detect the second paging occasion, only one second paging occasion can be configured within 20ms, and there is no limitation in time and frequency is still within the minimum bandwidth.

It can be seen from the above embodiments that a second paging occasion is configured in each configuration period, which can ensure that the UE can detect the second paging occasion and also save bandwidth resources.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a paging indication method according to an exemplary embodiment, which may be applied to a UE, which may be any intelligent terminal supporting WI-FI function, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), and the like. As shown in fig. 5, the paging indication method includes the following steps 510 and 520:

In step 510, a first paging occasion and a second paging occasion transmitted by a base station are received, where the first paging occasion is used to characterize a paging indication, and the second paging occasion is used to characterize a paging message.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE may receive the first paging occasion and the second paging occasion at the same time, or may receive the first paging occasion and the second paging occasion at different times, respectively.

In step 520, a corresponding paging indicator is determined according to the first paging occasion, and a corresponding paging message is determined according to the second paging occasion.

It can be seen from the above embodiments that, by receiving the first paging occasion and the second paging occasion, determining the corresponding paging indication according to the first paging occasion, and determining the corresponding paging message according to the second paging occasion, the UE can determine different contents at different paging occasions, thereby improving the efficiency of paging indication.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, when step 520 is executed, the following steps may be included:

in step 610, a corresponding paging indicator is determined according to a first paging occasion.

In step 620, if the determined paging indicator is a paging message, the corresponding paging message is determined according to the second paging occasion.

It can be seen from the above embodiments that, by determining the corresponding paging indicator according to the first paging occasion, the corresponding paging message is determined according to the second paging occasion only when the determined paging indicator is a paging message, so that energy consumption of the terminal can be reduced, and efficiency of the paging indicator is improved.

In an embodiment, in the step 610, the configured channel corresponding to the first paging occasion is an unscheduled channel, and the unscheduled channel is in a bitmap form:

if all the bits in the bitmap are 1, the bitmap is used for indicating that the system message is updated;

if all bits in the bitmap are not 1, for any bit in all bits, the bit of 0 is used for indicating that one group of UE or a plurality of groups of UE do not have paging messages, and the bit of 1 is used for indicating that one group of UE or a plurality of groups of UE have paging messages.

As shown in FIG. 7, the step 610 may be executed by

steps

710 and 730 as follows:

in step 710, it is detected that all bits in the bitmap are 1, it is determined that the corresponding paging indicator is that the system message is updated, and the updated system information is read.

In step 720, if it is detected that all bits in the bitmap are not 1 and the bit indicating the group to which the bitmap belongs is 0, it is determined that the corresponding paging indicator is no paging message, and the sleep continues.

In step 730, if it is detected that all bits in the bitmap are not 1 and the bit indicating the group to which the bitmap belongs is 1, it is determined that the corresponding paging indicator is a paging message.

It can be seen from the above embodiments that the paging indicator is identified by bits in the bitmap of the non-scheduling channel, so that the paging indicator can be identified quickly, and the efficiency of the paging indicator is improved.

In an embodiment, in step 610, the configuration channel corresponding to the first paging occasion is a scheduling channel, and Downlink Control Information (DCI) in the scheduling channel is used to carry the paging indication.

As shown in FIG. 8, when step 610 is executed, the following

steps

810 and 830 may be included:

in step 810, if it is detected that there is no paging indication of the group to which the DCI belongs in the scheduling channel, determining that the corresponding paging indication is no paging message, and continuing to sleep;
