## Abstract

According to one embodiment of this specification, there is provided a method performed by a user equipment (UE). The method may comprise: if the UE supports paging early indication with paging subgrouping assistance (PEIPS) assistance information, inserting a paging subgrouping capability indication which indicates UE's capability to support PEIPS assistance information into a registration request message; if the PEIPS assistance information is supported, inserting UE's paging probability information in a requested PEIPS assistance information of the registration request message; transmitting the registration request message; and receiving a first message including the PEIPS assistance information. The PEIPS assistance information may include a paging subgroup identifier (ID). A non-access stratum (NAS) layer of the UE may indicate the PEIPS assistance information to a lower layer.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An operation method of user equipment (UE), comprising
determining that the UE supports paging early indication with paging subgrouping assistance (PEIPS) assistance information;
generating, by the UE which supports the PEIPS assistance information, a paging subgrouping capability indication which indicates UE's capability to support PEIPS assistance information;
generating a registration request message including the paging subgrouping capability indication;
inserting, by the UE which supports the PEIPS assistance information, UE's paging probability information in a requested PEIPS assistance information of the registration request message for initiating the registration procedure;
transmitting the registration request message for initiating the registration procedure to an access and mobility management function (AMF) in a network; and
receiving a first message including the PEIPS assistance information from the AMF in the network,
wherein the PEIPS assistance information includes a paging subgroup identifier (ID),
wherein a non-access stratum (NAS) layer of the UE indicates the PEIPS assistance information including the paging subgroup ID to a lower layer of the UE.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the registration request message is for initial registration procedure or a mobility registration update procedure.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the UE initiates a registration procedure with a registration type not set to “emergency registration”.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the UE does not have an active emergency protocol data unit (PDU) session.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising:
receiving a negotiated PEIPS assistance information.

### Claim 6

A user equipment (UE), the UE comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:
determining that the UE supports paging early indication with paging subgrouping assistance (PEIPS) assistance information;
generating, by the UE which supports the PEIPS assistance information, a paging subgrouping capability indication which indicates UE's capability to support PEIPS assistance information;
generating a registration request message including the paging subgrouping capability indication;
inserting, by the UE which supports the PEIPS assistance information, UE's paging probability information in a requested PEIPS assistance information of the registration request message for initiating the registration procedure;
transmitting the registration request message for initiating the registration procedure to an access and mobility management function (AMF) in a network; and
receiving a first message including the PEIPS assistance information from the AMF in the network,
wherein the PEIPS assistance information includes a paging subgroup identifier (ID),
wherein a non-access stratum (NAS) layer of the UE indicates the PEIPS assistance information including the paging subgroup ID to a lower layer of the UE.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The UE of claim 6, wherein the registration request message is for initial registration procedure or a mobility registration update procedure.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

The UE of claim 6, wherein the UE initiates a registration procedure with a registration type not set to “emergency registration”.

### Claim 9 (depends on 6)

The UE of claim 6, wherein the UE does not have an active emergency protocol data unit (PDU) session.

### Claim 10 (depends on 6)

The UE of claim 6, wherein the operations further comprise:
receiving a negotiated PEIPS assistance information.

### Claim 11

A semiconductor chipset equipped into a user equipment (UE), comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory capable of storing instructions and being connected electrically to the at least one processor operably,
wherein an operation, performed when the instructions are executed by the at least one processor, includes:
determining that the UE supports paging early indication with paging subgrouping assistance (PEIPS) assistance information;
generating, by the UE which supports the PEIPS assistance information, a paging subgrouping capability indication which indicates UE's capability to support PEIPS assistance information;
generating a registration request message including the paging subgrouping capability indication;
inserting, by the UE which supports the PEIPS assistance information, UE's paging probability information in a requested PEIPS assistance information of the registration request message for initiating the registration procedure;
transmitting the registration request message for initiating the registration procedure to an access and mobility management function (AMF) in a network; and
receiving a first message including the PEIPS assistance information from the AMF in the network,
wherein the PEIPS assistance information includes a paging subgroup identifier (ID),
wherein a non-access stratum (NAS) layer of the UE indicates the PEIPS assistance information including the paging subgroup ID to a lower layer of the UE.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The semiconductor chipset of claim 11, wherein the registration request message is for initial registration procedure or a mobility registration update procedure.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The semiconductor chipset of claim 11, wherein the UE initiates a registration procedure with a registration type not set to “emergency registration”.

### Claim 14 (depends on 11)

The semiconductor chipset of claim 11, wherein the UE does not have an active emergency protocol data unit (PDU) session.

### Claim 15 (depends on 11)

The semiconductor chipset of claim 11, wherein the operations further comprise:
receiving a negotiated PEIPS assistance information.
