Claims13
A method for paging a User Equipment (UE), comprising:
- sending, by one of a Home NodeB (HNB) or a HNB Gate Way (HNB GW), a downlink data notification message comprising paging range indicator information to a core network control plane entity;
- receiving, by the HNB or the HNB GW, a paging message comprising a raging range sent by the core network control plane entity;
- and
- initiating, by the HNB or the HNB GW, a paging to a UE corresponding to a user ID in the paging range.
An apparatus for paging a User Equipment (UE), comprising:
- a first sending module, configured to send a downlink data notification message comprising paging range indicator information to a core network control plane entity;
- a first receiving module, configured to receive a paging message comprising a raging range sent by the core network control plane entity;
- and
- a paging initiating module, configured to initiate a paging to a UE corresponding to a user ID in the paging range.
An apparatus for paging a User Equipment (UE), comprising:
- a second receiving module, configured to receive a downlink data notification message comprising paging range indicator information;
- a paging message generating module, configured to generate a paging message comprising a paging range according to the paging range indicator information;
- and
- a second sending module, configured to send the paging message comprising the paging range to a Home NodeB (HNB).
