A method, comprising:
- obtaining, by a communications device, a discontinuous reception (DRX) period of a first device and an identifier of the first device;
- determining, by the communications device according to the DRX period of the first device and the identifier of the first device, a paging occasion triggering the first device to page a second device, wherein the second device transmits data to a network side device through the first device;
- and
- participating, by the communications device, in a communication of a first paging message on the paging occasion, wherein first device pages the second device using the first paging message, and the communications device is the first device or the second device.
A communications device, comprising:
- a processor;
- a non-transitory computer readable memory;
- a system bus connecting the processor and the non-transitory computer readable memory storing programming for execution by the processor, the programming including instructions to:
- obtain a discontinuous reception (DRX) period of a first device and an identifier of the first device;
- determine, according to the DRX period of the first device and the identifier of the first device, a paging occasion triggering the first device to page a second device, wherein the second device transmits data to a network side device through the first device;
- and
- participate in a communication of a first paging message on the paging occasion, wherein first device pages the second device using the first paging message, and the communications device is the first device or the second device;
- and
- a communications interface.
