The terms "system" and "network" in the embodiments of the present application are often used interchangeably, and the described technologies can be used for the above-mentioned systems and radio technologies as well as other systems and radio technologies. The following description describes the New Radio (NR) system for illustrative purposes, and uses NR terminology in most of the following descriptions, but these techniques can also be applied to applications other than NR system applications, such as the 6th generation (6 ^th Generation, 6G) communication system.

FIG. 1 shows a structural diagram of a wireless communication system to which this embodiment of the present application is applicable. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network side device 12 . Wherein, the terminal 11 can also be called a terminal device or a user terminal (User Equipment, UE), and the terminal 11 can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer (Tablet Personal Computer), a laptop computer (Laptop Computer) or a notebook computer, a personal digital Assistant (Personal Digital Assistant, PDA), handheld computer, netbook, ultra-mobile personal computer (ultra-mobile personal computer, UMPC), mobile internet device (Mobile Internet Device, MID), augmented reality (augmented reality, AR)/virtual reality (virtual reality, VR) equipment, robots, wearable devices (Wearable Device), vehicle-mounted equipment (VUE), pedestrian terminal (PUE), smart home (home equipment with wireless communication functions, such as refrigerators, TVs, washing machines or furniture etc.) and other terminal-side devices, wearable devices include: smart watches, smart bracelets, smart headphones, smart glasses, smart jewelry (smart bracelets, smart bracelets, smart rings, smart necklaces, smart anklets, smart anklets, etc.) , smart wristbands, smart clothing, game consoles, etc. It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific type of the terminal 11 . The network side device 12 may be a base station or a core network, where a base station may be called a node B, an evolved node B, an access point, a base transceiver station (Base Transceiver Station, BTS), a radio base station, a radio transceiver, a basic service Basic Service Set (BSS), Extended Service Set (ESS), Node B, Evolved Node B (eNB), Home Node B, Home Evolved Node B, WLAN access point, WiFi node, transmission Receiving point (Transmitting Receiving Point, TRP) or some other suitable term in the field, as long as the same technical effect is achieved, the base station is not limited to specific technical terms. It should be noted that in the embodiment of this application, only The base station in the NR system is taken as an example, but the specific type of the base station is not limited.

In order to realize the communication between the network side equipment and the terminal, the network side can send paging to UEs in the idle state, inactive state and connected state, and the paging process can be triggered by the core network to notify a certain UE to receive the paging request; or Triggered by eNodeB/gNB, it is used to notify system information updates and notify UE to receive information such as Earthquake and Tsunami Warning System (ETWS) and Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS).

During a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) period, the UE can first monitor the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDC) only at the Paging Occasion (PO) on the corresponding Paging Frame (PF) Whether the P-RNTI is carried on the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), and then judge whether there is a paging message on the corresponding Physical Downlink Shared Channel (Physical Downlink Shared Channel).

If the UE analyzes the P-RNTI on the PDCCH, it will receive the data on the PDSCH according to the parameters of the PDSCH indicated on the PDCCH; if the paging message (data on the PDSCH) received by the UE contains a UE ID list, The terminal needs to match its own UE ID with the UE ID carried in the paging message to determine whether the paging message is calling itself.

If the UE does not resolve the P-RNTI on the PDCCH, it does not need to receive the PDSCH physical channel, and can enter sleep according to the DRX cycle. Using this mechanism, in a DRX cycle, the UE can only receive the PDCCH at the time position where the PO appears, and then receive the PDSCH as needed. At other times, it can sleep to achieve the purpose of saving power.

The paging indication can be used to inform the UE whether there may be a paging message related to the UE, and the P-RNTI is used to scramble the paging PDCCH on the PO.

In an embodiment, the UE may be notified whether to monitor the paging occasion to receive the paging message through the paging indication information, wherein the paging indication information may be the indication information sent to the terminal before the PO.

Optionally, if the paging indication is detected or the paging indication is true, it means that the UE related to the paging indication may have a paging message on the next paging opportunity (PO). The UE continues to monitor the next PO to receive paging messages.

If no paging indication is detected or the paging indication is false, it means that the corresponding UE has no relevant paging message on the paging opportunity (PO). The UE does not listen to the next PO, that is, it can omit receiving the paging message on the PO, so as to save power.

The network can also group UEs listening to the same PO, and send a paging indication for the UE group.

With the continuous development of wireless communication technology, more and more users hold multi-card terminals. For the multi-card terminal, after receiving the paging indication, if the paging indication is true, the multi-card terminal will continue to receive the paging message. If the paging cause in the paging message is not a voice service, the terminal in the connected state may decide not to respond to the paging message. However, since the paging message has been received, power consumption and certain service interruption will be generated.

A multi-SIM terminal can be regarded as including multiple UEs, and a multi-SIM terminal can be called a Multi-SIM UE. It should be noted that the UE can be considered as the subject of the subscription. Multiple contract subjects can be configured on one terminal device. The signing entity can be represented by a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card. A SIM card corresponds to a contract subject of a network. The SIM card stores the identity of the contracting entity, that is, the identity of the UE, such as the Subscription Permanent Identifier (SUPI), or the International Mobile Subscription Identity (IMSI). Therefore, when multiple SIM cards are inserted into a terminal or the information of multiple electronic SIM cards is configured, the terminal and different contract entities may constitute different UEs.

The capability of the multi-card terminal can be single transmission and single reception, single transmission and double reception, and double transmission and double reception.

One of the characteristics of multi-card terminals is that they can reside in multiple networks at the same time, but the implementation methods of multi-card terminals are different. Some multi-card terminals can simultaneously send and receive in multiple networks without affecting each other. There are also some multi-card terminals that may reside in multiple networks at the same time, but may reside in different networks in a time-division manner, for example, reside in network A for a period of time, listen to paging messages of network A, The network B resides and listens to the paging of the network B; or connects to send and receive data on the network A for a period of time, and receives paging on the network B for another period of time; Establish a connection or send and receive data.

Some multi-card terminals that support dual transmission and dual reception can simultaneously transmit and receive in multiple networks on a specific frequency band without affecting each other. On other frequency bands, data may be sent and received on different networks in a time-division manner.

Specifically, after the terminal receives the paging indication information, if the paging indication information is used to indicate information related to the paging cause, the terminal judges whether to monitor the paging opportunity according to the information related to the paging cause, and if the paging indication information indicates If the reason for paging is non-voice service or service with lower priority, the terminal in the connected state may decide not to respond to the paging indication information, that is, there is no need to monitor the paging opportunity to avoid service interruption, and the terminal can omit subsequent paging instructions. Call message reception, to achieve the purpose of further reducing power consumption.

Optionally, the paging indication information includes at least one of the following:

Paging reasons; the paging reasons include at least one of the following: service information, service priority information;

Voice service indication; the voice service indication is used to indicate whether the paging cause in the paging message is the paging cause of the voice service;

A first indication; the first indication is used to indicate whether there is a paging reason of the terminal in the paging message, or to indicate whether the terminal needs to monitor a paging opportunity.

Among them, the paging reason includes: service information and/or service priority information, service information can indicate service name, service type, etc., such as voice service (Voice service), non-voice service (Non Voice service), service priority information Service priority can be indicated, such as high priority service (High Priority Service), such as voice service, and low priority service (Low Priority Service), such as data service (Data service).

Wherein, the voice service indication may indicate whether the paging cause in the paging message is the paging cause of the voice service. For example, there may be multiple paging reasons in the paging message, the paging reason of UE1 is voice service, and the paging reason of UE2 is other reasons, then the voice service indication in the paging message may be True.

Among them, the paging reason indication can indicate whether there is a paging reason in the paging message, that is, the paging message carries the paging reason, and the paging reason can be defaulted as a voice service; or, there is a paging indication in the paging message The paging reason of the UE associated with the information indicates whether the paging reason is a voice service. For example, the paging indication information is associated with some UEs, for which the paging message carries the paging reason, and the paging reason is the voice service.

Wherein, the first indication is used to indicate whether the terminal needs to monitor the paging opportunity PO, or indicate whether there is a paging reason of the terminal in the paging message, for example, indicating whether there is a paging reason of multi-card terminals in the paging message.

Step 102, the terminal determines whether to monitor the paging opportunity according to the paging reason.

Specifically, the terminal monitors the paging occasion or does not monitor the paging occasion according to the paging reason.

If the paging indication information indicates that the paging cause is a voice service, the terminal monitors the next paging opportunity to receive the paging message, otherwise it does not monitor the paging occasion; if the paging indication information indicates that the paging cause is a high-priority service, The terminal monitors the next paging occasion to receive the paging message, otherwise it does not monitor the paging occasion; if the paging indication information carries a voice service indication, the voice service indication is used to indicate that the paging reason in the paging message is voice The paging reason of the service, the terminal monitors the next paging opportunity to receive the paging message, otherwise it does not monitor the paging opportunity; if the paging indication information carries the paging cause indication, the paging cause indication is used to indicate the paging If there is a paging reason in the message or the paging reason in the paging message is a voice service, the terminal monitors the next paging opportunity to receive the paging message, otherwise it does not monitor the paging opportunity; if the paging indication information carries the first An indication, the first indication is used to indicate that there is a paging reason for the terminal in the paging message or to indicate that the terminal needs to monitor the paging occasion, and the terminal monitors the next paging occasion to receive the paging message; otherwise, The terminal does not need to monitor the next PO, and does not need to receive the paging message.

It should be noted that the paging indication information is indication information sent to the terminal before the PO.

In the method of this embodiment, it is determined whether to monitor the paging opportunity according to the paging reason in the paging indication information. interruption.

In an embodiment, step 102 may be implemented in the following manner:

If the service priority indicated by the paging cause is higher than the service priority of the service performed by the terminal, the terminal monitors the paging opportunity; or,

In the case where the paging indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following information, the terminal monitors the paging opportunity; where at least one piece of information includes: the paging reason is voice service, there is a paging reason in the paging message, the paging message The paging reason existing in is the voice service, the paging reason of the terminal exists in the paging message, or the terminal needs to monitor the paging occasion.

Optionally, the paging indication information is associated with at least one group of terminals monitoring the same paging occasion.

Specifically, the paging indication information is associated with all terminals or one or more groups of terminals detecting the same paging occasion (PO). Optionally, the terminals may be grouped in advance, so as to receive the paging indication information, or the paging indication information carries the group identifier or terminal identifier of the terminal receiving the paging indication information.

In an embodiment, the paging indication method is applied to a multi-card terminal, and the multi-card terminal receives the paging indication information; the multi-card terminal determines whether to monitor the paging opportunity according to the paging reason.

Optionally, the multi-card terminal can be regarded as including multiple UEs, and the first UE corresponding to the first SIM card is in a connected state , and the second UE corresponding to the second SIM card is in an idle state, the second UE receives paging indication information; and the second UE monitors a paging opportunity according to a paging reason.

For example, the first UE is performing data services, the second UE is in the idle state, the second UE receives the paging indication information, and determines whether to monitor the paging opportunity according to the paging reason indicated by the paging indication information, if it is determined that it needs to monitor the paging If there is no paging opportunity, the second UE monitors the next paging occasion, and if it is determined that there is no need to monitor the paging occasion, the second UE does not need to monitor the next paging occasion, that is, does not need to receive the paging message.

In the above embodiment, the UE corresponding to the second SIM card in the idle state avoids interrupting the service performed by the UE corresponding to the first SIM card in the connected state by receiving paging indication information. By monitoring the paging occasion, the UE corresponding to the second SIM card does not need to monitor the paging occasion, which can further reduce the power consumption of the terminal.

Optionally, the paging indication information is carried in downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI) or sequence Sequence; wherein, at least one bit of the DCI is used to indicate that there is a paging reason or to indicate a paging reason; or, The sequence is used to indicate the reason for paging or the presence or absence of a reason for paging.

Specifically, 1 bit or multiple bits can be used to indicate the existence of the paging cause in the DCI, for example, 1 bit can be used to indicate the voice service indication or the paging cause indication or the first indication; or 1 bit or multiple bits can be used to indicate the paging cause, such as voice service or high Priority business.

The sequence may indicate the reason for paging, or indicate whether there is a reason for paging. For example, sequence 0 represents paging indication information, wherein there is no paging reason;

Sequence 1 indicates paging indication information carrying cause 1;

Sequence 2 indicates paging indication information carrying reason 2;

Sequence 3 represents paging indication information, in which there is a paging reason.

For a multi-card terminal, the conditions for performing the processing of the above step 1a and step 2a are: when the multi-card terminal is in a connected state or has an ongoing service. A multi-card terminal can be regarded as including multiple UEs (one SIM card corresponds to one UE). Optionally, one UE in the multi-card terminal is in a connected state (called a connected state UE), and the other UE is in an idle state (called an idle state UE). Then for idle state UE:

If the paging cause indication is True, the UE listens to the next PO to receive paging messages on PDSCH.

If the paging cause indication is False, the UE does not listen to the next PO, that is, it does not need to receive a paging message.

Exemplarily, for group paging indication, the paging indication method includes:

Step 1b, the terminal receives paging indication information.

Exemplarily, the paging indication method includes the following steps:

Step 1c, the terminal receives paging indication information. The paging indication information includes paging cause (Paging Cause).

Step 2c, the terminal determines whether to monitor the paging opportunity according to the paging indication information.

Specifically, the ongoing service of the terminal is recorded as the first service, and the terminal may be a multi-card terminal Multi-SIM UE.

If the priority of the paging reason is higher than the priority of the first service (for example, the paging reason is Voice service, and the first service is Data service), the terminal monitors the next PO to receive the paging message on the PDSCH.

Otherwise, the terminal does not listen to the next PO, that is, it does not need to receive a paging message.

In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, the method includes the following steps:
