A resource indication method and a communications device are provided. The resource indication method includes: detecting a wake-up signal; and determining configuration information of a target resource based on the wake-up signal, where the target resource includes at least one of a measurement resource and a paging resource.

A communication method and a communications apparatus are disclosed to provide an implementation solution for measuring, in an idle state, a carrier. The method includes: initiating, in an idle state, measurement on one or more carriers when a volume of to-be-sent data exceeds a first threshold, or initiating measurement on one or more carriers when a paging message is received; and sending an obtained measurement result to a network device.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, control signaling that indicates one or more parameters pertaining to reception of paging early indications (PEIs). The UE may receive a PEI from the base station in accordance with the one or more parameters. The UE may determine, based on the PEI, whether the UE is scheduled to receive a multicast paging message from the base station in a subsequent paging occasion (PO). If the UE is scheduled to receive a multicast paging message, the UE may monitor for the multicast paging message in the subsequent PO. Otherwise, the UE may enter a low-power state during the subsequent PO, which may result in greater power savings at the UE. Aspects of the present disclosure may provide for improved multicast paging operations between the UE and the base station.

A method for providing updated network slice information to a network slice selection function (NSSF includes registering, by a network slice management function (NSMF) with a network function (NF) repository function (NRF), an NF profile corresponding to the NSMF and subscribing, by the NSMF with the NRF, for status updates corresponding to NF instances belonging to network slice instances created by the NSMF. The method further includes receiving, by the NSMF from the NRF, a notification message including one or more network traffic load level updates related to at least one of the NF instances, processing the one or more network traffic load level updates to generate network slice instance configuration information for at least one of the network slice instances, and providing, by the NSMF, the network slice instance configuration information to a NSSF managing the at least one of the network slice instances.

Various embodiments may provide systems and methods for supporting wireless device paging in a network, such as a Fifth Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) (5GNR) network, etc. In various embodiments, a wireless device may determine whether to decode a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) paging message based at least in part on an indication in a received downlink control information (DCI) message.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In a wireless communications system, a user equipment (UE) may be scheduled to perform a first measurement or paging activity associated with a target cell operating according to a first target cell configuration that is different from a serving cell operating according to a first serving cell configuration of the UE. In some cases, the UE may determine that the UE has performed a previous measurement or paging activity associated with the target cell while being served by the serving cell, the cells operating according to previous cell configurations. The UE may compare at least one of the first and previous target cell configurations or the first and previous serving cell configurations, and may perform the first measurement or paging activity using a script, where the script is either reused or rebuilt based on comparing the cell configurations.

In a communications system including a base station capable of altering a frequency bandwidth which is used for transmitting broadcast data for providing point-to-multipoint broadcasting communications service and which is used for transmitting individual communications data for providing point-to-point individual communications service, and a mobile terminal capable of altering a receivable bandwidth which is used for receiving at least the broadcast data and the individual communications data transmitted from the base station, decision processing of making a decision as to whether the mobile terminal can receive reception-desired content it desires to receive among contents provided by the broadcasting communications service is executed in accordance with a frequency occupying bandwidth used for transmitting the reception-desired content. Thus, the mobile terminal becomes able to make a decision as to whether it can receive particular E-MBMS content considering its own UE position.

A service implementation method, apparatus, and system are disclosed. The service implementation method includes: receiving, by a serving gateway, a data packet of a terminal device sent by a packet data network gateway; if the data packet is a data packet with a serving priority and the serving gateway has sent a paging trigger message with a serving priority to a mobility management element, skipping, by the serving gateway, sending a paging trigger message to the mobility management element; or if the data packet is a data packet with a serving priority and the serving gateway has sent no paging trigger message with a serving priority to a mobility management element, sending, by the serving gateway, a paging trigger message to the mobility management element; wherein the paging trigger message is used to enable the mobility management element to page the terminal device.
