A method for optimizing power consumption for Narrowband Internet of Things devices, UEs, in idle mode using a coverage class specific paging configuration, where carriers for paging are partitioned by coverage class, whereas the coverage class specific paging configuration, broadcasted by a system information exchanged between the base station and the UE, is extended by an additional NRSRP rsrp-ThresholdPcch threshold, whereas the UE selects one carrier for paging with a Narrowband Reference signal received power (NRSRP) smaller than the rsrp-ThresholdPcch threshold or if a UE is not reachable the eNodeB expands a paging area for the considered UE stepwise into other paging coverage classes in order to reach the UE.

A paging procedure of a mobile telecommunications system is modified to page a terminal using all the transceiver node cells in the coverage area allocated to the terminal that operate in the frequency bands indicated by frequency band capability data for the terminal, but not using the transceiver node cells in the coverage area allocated to the terminal that operate only in other ones of the frequency bands. In one embodiment a control entity is operable to initiate an initial paging procedure by paging based on the characteristic of the terminal obtained by the control entity, and to initiate a subsequent paging procedure if no paging response is received from the terminal. In another embodiment, coverage area allocation means allocates each of the transceiver node cells to one or more of the coverage areas in dependence upon on which of the frequency bands the cell is capable of communicating.

Disclosed in the present disclosure is a paging processing method, a network device, a user equipment (UE), and a computer storage medium. The method comprises: obtaining a terminal type of a UE, and cell identifier information or base station identifier information corresponding to the position of the UE; and if the terminal type of the UE is a static type, determining a paging range for the UE on the basis of the cell identifier information or base station identifier information corresponding to the position of the UE.

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.

A communication method relates to a paging mechanism applied for a radio access network, including: a centralized unit sends a paging message to a distributed unit, where the paging message carries indication information indicates that the paging is paging originated from a core network or the paging is paging originated from a radio access network; and the distributed unit determines, according to the indication information, that the paging is paging originated from the core network or the paging is paging originated from the radio access network.

A technique of selecting a location area for paging of a mobile device in the wireless communication network is described herein. The technique includes registering the mobile device with a first cell within the wireless communication network, where the cell is included within a primary location area and one or more secondary location areas. The technique also includes determining a default location area index for the mobile device, where the default location area index identifies a default location area for the mobile device. The technique further includes receiving an indication from the mobile device to change from the default location area index to a secondary location area index. The secondary location area index identifies a secondary location that at least includes a sub-portion of the primary location area.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a method for performing a paging-related operation by a base station of a second user equipment (UE) having connection with a first UE in a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a paging message for the second UE from a second MME by the base station; and when the second UE is in a radio resource control (RRC)-connected state while being in a core network (CN)-idle state, transmitting a message, including information related to a connection state of the second UE, as a response to the paging message to the second MME by the base station.
