US 11,963,132 B2 · Paging method, base station and user equipment

Abstract

A paging method, a base station and a UE are provided. The paging method includes: receiving, by a UE in an inactive state, a paging message for determining a paging type, the paging message being transmitted from a base station, the paging type including an access network paging initiated by an access network or a core network paging initiated by a core network; determining, by the UE, the paging type corresponding to the paging message; and when the paging type corresponding to the paging message is the core network paging, updating, by the UE, each of states of a NAS and a RRC layer for the UE into an idle state, and responding to, by the UE, the paging message.

Dependent claims

A paging method, comprising:

receiving, by a User Equipment (UE) in an inactive state, a paging message, wherein the paging message is transmitted from a base station, and wherein a paging type corresponding to the paging message comprises an access network paging initiated by an access network or a core network paging initiated by a core network;
in response to the paging type corresponding to the paging message being the core network paging, updating, by the UE, each of states of a Non-Access Stratum (NAS) and a Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer for the UE into an idle state, and responding to, by the UE, the paging message.

A UE, comprising a processor, a transceiver and a memory, wherein the processor is configured to read a program stored in the memory to:

receive a paging message for determining a paging type if the UE is in an inactive state, wherein the paging message is transmitted from a base station, and the paging type corresponding to the paging message comprises an access network paging initiated by an access network or a core network paging initiated by a core network;
in response to the paging type corresponding to the paging message being the core network paging, update each of states of an NAS and an RRC layer for the UE into an idle state, and respond to the paging message,
wherein the transceiver is configured to receive and transmit data, and the memory is configured to store therein data for the operation of the processor.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
