Paging method and apparatus

A communication method, comprising:

• receiving a first wake-up signal, wherein
• the first wake-up signal is one of K wake-up signals,
• K is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and
• the K wake-up signals are quasi co-located with K synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), K channel state information-reference signals (CSI-RSs), or K demodulation reference signals (DMRSs);
• determining M paging occasions and a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion in the M paging occasions, wherein
• there is a correspondence between the K wake-up signals and the M paging occasions, there is a correspondence between the first wake-up signal and the first PDCCH monitoring occasion, and one of the M paging occasions comprises K PDCCH monitoring occasions, and the first PDCCH monitoring occasion is one of the K PDCCH monitoring occasions, and
• M is an integer greater than or equal to 1;
• receiving downlink control information (DCI) used for paging on the first PDCCH monitoring occasion in the M paging occasions.

An apparatus, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memories having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
• send a first wake-up signal, wherein
• the first wake-up signal is one of K wake-up signals,
• K is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and
• the K wake-up signals are quasi co-located with K synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), K channel state information-reference signals (CSI-RSs), or K demodulation reference signals (DMRSs);
• and
• send, on a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion in M paging occasions, downlink control information (DCI) used for paging, wherein
• there is a correspondence between the first wake-up signal and the first PDCCH monitoring occasion, and one of the M paging occasions comprises K PDCCH monitoring occasions, and the first PDCCH monitoring occasion is one of the K PDCCH monitoring occasions, M is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and
• there is a correspondence between the K wake-up signals and the M paging occasions.
