The present invention relates to a method in the radio access node for paging user equipment attached to a radio network. The steps performed by the radio access node include receiving (31) a core network paging message from a core network. A request for paging of the user equipment in a set of neighboring radio access nodes using paging level information in the core network paging message is identified (32), wherein the paging level information may include information that an escalated page is to be performed. A radio access node paging instruction is generated (33) in the radio access node receiving the paging message; the paging instruction including an escalated page instruction. The paging instruction is sent (34) to the set of neighboring radio access nodes, whereupon a page is initiated in at least one cell of each neighboring radio access node. The invention also relates to a radio access node configured to perform the inventive method.

When a call is received for a device within an area of coverage, all devices within the area of coverage are rung. The call may be connected to the first device that picks up. All devices may be rung at the same time or in a predetermined order. For example, the first device rung may be a device that was most recently moved, a device that was most recently active, based on a time of day, or the like.

A method and apparatus for updating a radio notification area. The method is applicable to a terminal configured with at least a first subscriber identity module (SIM) card and a second SIM card, and includes: receiving configuration information sent by a first base station; when the second SIM card is to be handed over to a second base station, sending radio notification area update information of the first SIM card to the second SIM card based on the configuration information in response to that the second base station is located outside a radio notification area configured by the first base station for the first SIM card; and sending, through the second SIM card and to the first base station, a measurement report of handing over to the second base station, wherein the measurement report includes the radio notification area update information of the first SIM card.

A paging message transmission method, a base station, and user equipment are provided. The paging message transmission method includes determining indication information included in a first paging message, where the indication information is used to instruct user equipment UE to receive the first paging message and/or receive a second paging message, sending the first paging message including the indication information, where the first paging message is included in a first transport block, and sending the second paging message if the indication information instructs the user equipment to receive the second paging message, where the second paging message is included in a second transport block, and the second transport block and the first transport block are different transport blocks that are separately transmitted.
