Description

Method for determining paging packet, terminal equipment and network equipment

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications, and more particularly, to a method, a terminal device and a network device for determining a paging packet.

Background

The Paging (Paging) function is to enable the network to page the User Equipment (UE) in a radio resource control IDLE (RRC IDLE) state or a radio resource control inactive (RRC INACTIVE) state of the UE through a Paging message (Paging message), or notify the UE of a system message change or tsunami/public warning message (applicable to all RRC states, including a connected state, of the UE) through a short message (short message).

For the UE in the RRC IDLE state or RRC INACTIVE state, since there is no other data communication between the UE and the network, in order to save energy, the UE may monitor the Paging channel discontinuously, that is, a Paging Discontinuous Reception (Paging DRX) mechanism is used. Under the Paging DRX mechanism, the UE only needs to monitor Paging during one Paging Occasion (PO) within each DRX cycle (DRX cycle). In a system, when there are many UEs and a network cannot allocate each UE to a different PO, there is a case where a plurality of UEs correspond to one PO. If the network needs to page a certain UE on this PO, it may cause additional blind detection to other UEs that do not have a paging message, and for these UEs that do not have a paging message, the additional blind detection is a paging false alarm.
