The present disclosure relates to an information recording method. The method is applicable to user equipment, and includes: receiving indication information from a base station, wherein the indication information includes mode indication information indicating a mode for recording Minimized Driving Test (MDT) information; and when the user equipment is in an inactive state, recording the MDT information according to the mode indication information. According to examples of the present disclosure, the user equipment may record the MDT information when it is in the inactive state, such that the user equipment transmits the MDT information recorded in the inactive state to the base station when the user equipment establishes or restores a communication connection with the base station later. Thus, the base station can determine various failures of the user equipment in the inactive state, thereby facilitating the base station to perform troubleshooting accurately.

A method, apparatus and system for transmitting paging information. The method includes: calculating, by a first communication node, a time domain position of a paging occasion (PO) of a second communication node; and transmitting, by the first communication node, paging information to the second communication node within the PO corresponding to the time domain position, where the paging information includes at least one of: paging downlink control information and a paging message, and the PO includes a group of paging resources for transmitting paging information on one or more preset beams or ports.

User equipment (UE) connection handling is disclosed in which UE environmental status information is used at a network entity to make informed decisions regarding mobility handling and data offloading. A UE determines its environmental status information based on input from at least one non-RF sensor located in the UE. The UE generates and then transmits a control message comprising the UE environmental status information to a network entity in communication with the UE. The network entity receives the control message and uses the UE environmental status information to manage a connection of the associated UE based at least in part on the UE environmental status information.

Example communication methods and apparatus are described. One example method includes receiving first information from a first device, where the first information indicates N moments and location information of the first device at the N moments. The first device obtains second information, where the second information indicates a correspondence between the N moments and M area identifiers, or the second information indicates a correspondence between N locations and M area identifiers. According to the foregoing technical solution, the first device sends the location information of the first device at the N moments, so that the M area identifiers corresponding to the first device at the N moments or the M area identifiers corresponding to N pieces of location information can be obtained.
