Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may transmit a paging indicator message to one or more user equipment (UEs) in a group of UEs. The base station may receive, based at least in part on the paging indicator message, a first response message from the one or more UEs. The first response message may be received using a resource that is shared with a random access channel message for the group of UEs. The base station may transmit, based at least in part on the first response message, a second response message to the one or more UEs.
Claims22
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- transmitting, from a base station, an indication of a resource associated with a physical random access channel (PRACH) that is reserved for both and shared between a paging response message and a random access channel (RACH) message;
- transmitting, from the base station, a paging indicator message to one or more user equipment (UEs) in a group of UEs, the paging indicator message comprising a compressed paging index corresponding to the group of UEs;
- receiving, based at least in part on the paging indicator message, a first response message from the one or more UEs, the first response message received using the resource that is shared with the RACH message and the paging response message for the group of UEs;
- and
- transmitting, based at least in part on the first response message, a second response message to the one or more UEs.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for transmitting an indication of a resource associated with a physical random access channel (PRACH) that is reserved for both and shared between a paging response message and a random access channel (RACH) message;
- means for transmitting a paging indicator message to one or more user equipment (UEs) in a group of UEs, the paging indicator message comprising a compressed paging index corresponding to the group of UEs;
- means for receiving, based at least in part on the paging indicator message, a first response message from the one or more UEs, the first response message received using the resource that is shared with the RACH message and the paging response message for the group of UEs;
- and
- means for transmitting, based at least in part on the first response message, a second response message to the one or more UEs.
