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 layer and an RRC layer of the UE into an idle state, and responding to, by the UE, the paging message.
Claims20
A paging method, comprising:
- receiving a paging message being transmitted from a base station, by a User Equipment (UE) in an inactive state, wherein a paging message is for determining a paging type, wherein the paging type comprises 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 Non-Access Stratum (NAS) layer and a Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer of the UE into an idle state, and responding to, by the UE, the paging message.
A paging method, comprising:
- determining, by a base station, a paging type of a paging for a UE when it is necessary for the base station to initiate the paging for the UE, the paging type comprising an access network paging initiated by an access network;
- and
- transmitting, by the base station, a paging message for determining the paging type to the UE, wherein the paging message is used for initiating a connection recovery process, a connection establishment process or a connection reestablishment process.
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 when the UE is in an inactive state, wherein the paging message is transmitted from a base station, and the paging type comprises an access network paging initiated by an access network or a core network paging initiated by a core network;
- determine the paging type corresponding to the paging message;
- and
- when the paging type corresponding to the paging message is the core network paging, update each of states of an NAS layer and an RRC layer of 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.
