Method, network device, and base station for paging narrowband terminal

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a base station, a first paging message from a mobile management entity (MME), the first paging message comprising narrowband terminal information of a narrowband terminal, wherein the narrowband terminal information includes a radio capability of the narrowband terminal, and wherein the radio capability includes a bandwidth supported by the narrowband terminal;
• and
• transmitting, by the base station in a control channel according to the radio capability, a second paging message to the narrowband terminal for the narrowband terminal to detect the second paging message and implement paging access after detecting the second paging message.

A base station, comprising:

• a receiver, configured to receive a first paging message from a mobile management entity (MME), the first paging message comprising narrowband terminal information of a narrowband terminal, wherein the narrowband terminal information includes a radio capability of the narrowband terminal, and wherein the radio capability includes a bandwidth supported by the narrowband terminal;
• and
• a processor, configured to, according to the radio capability of the narrowband terminal, control a transmitter to transmit a second paging message to the narrowband terminal in a control channel, wherein the second paging message is for the narrowband terminal to detect the second paging message carried in the control channel and implement paging access after detecting the second paging message.
