Abstract
A method, network node and user equipment (UE) for inter-frequency redirection via paging are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method in the UE includes receiving a paging message from the network node on a first frequency, the paging message directing the UE to switch from the first frequency to a second frequency, the first frequency being associated with a first slice and the second frequency being associated with a second slice; and performing one of a radio resource control, RRC, resume and an RRC setup procedure on the second frequency. According to another aspect, a method in a network node include generating and sending the paging message.
Claims10
A method implemented in a user equipment, UE, configured to communicate with a network node, the method comprising:
- receiving a paging message from the network node on a first frequency, the paging message indicating a frequency band to be used by the UE to respond to the paging message, the frequency band having a set of frequencies;
- selecting a second frequency from the set of frequencies in the indicated frequency band, the first frequency being associated with a first slice and the second frequency being associated with a second slice;
- and
- responding, to another network node via message 3, msg3, to the paging message on the second frequency.
A user equipment, UE, configured to communicate with a network node, the UE comprising processing circuitry, the processing circuitry configured to cause the UE to:
- receive a paging message from the network node on a first frequency, the paging message indicating a frequency band to be used by the UE to respond to the paging message, the frequency band having a set of frequencies;
- select a second frequency from the set of frequencies in the indicated frequency band, the first frequency being associated with a first slice and the second frequency being associated with a second slice;
- and
- respond, to another network node via message 3, msg3, to the paging message on the second frequency.
