UE camping method and apparatus, paging method and apparatus, and storage medium

A base station, comprising a transmitter, a receiver, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, and one or more processors connected with the transmitter, the receiver and the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium,

• wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
• receive a paging request for a user equipment (UE), wherein the paging request carries identification information of the UE, and the UE has switched to a silence state in a cell covered by the base station and has performed reselection to a target camped cell;
• acquire a locally stored context of the UE, wherein the base station is a base station which locally stores the context of the UE for later query by other base stations;
• send query requests to a plurality of base stations, each of the query requests carrying the identification information of the UE;
• and
• when receiving a query response from a first base station, send the context of the UE to the first base station, so that the first base station initiates paging of the UE based on the context of the UE.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a base station, causes the base station to perform a paging method, the method comprising:

• receiving a paging request for a user equipment (UE), wherein the paging request carries identification information of the UE, and the UE has switched to a silence state in a cell covered by the base station and has performed reselection to a target camped cell;
• acquiring a locally stored context of the UE, wherein the base station is a base station which locally stores the context of the UE for later query by other base stations;
• sending query requests respectively to a plurality of base stations, each of the query requests carrying the identification information of the UE;
• and when receiving a query response from a first base station, sending the context of the UE to the first base station, so that the first base station initiates paging of the UE based on the context of the UE.
