Abstract
The embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a small data transmission method and a related device and system. The method may include: broadcasting, by a base station, a paging message, where the paging message carries UE identifiers of a plurality of to-be-paged user equipment UE and small data sent to at least one of the to-be-paged UEs, and the small data is data whose data volume is less than a preset data volume threshold. In the present disclosure, small data may be sent to to-be-paged UE while the base station pages the UE, to reduce signaling and time overheads for sending the small data and improving communication efficiency.
Claims20
A small data transmission method, comprising:
- broadcasting, by a base station, a paging message, wherein the paging message carries UE identifiers of N to-be-paged user equipment (UEs) and small data for at least one of the N to-be-paged UEs, and the small data is data whose data volume is less than a preset data volume threshold, and wherein N is an integer greater than 0.
A small data transmission method, comprising:
- monitoring, by user equipment (UE), a paging message broadcast by a base station, wherein the paging message carries UE identifiers of N to-be-paged user equipment (UEs) and small data sent to at least one of the N to-be-paged UEs, and the small data is data whose data volume is less than a preset data volume threshold, and N is an integer greater than 0;
- determining, by the UE based on the UE identifiers in the paging message, whether the UE is paged;
- and
- when the UE is paged, determining that the UE has small data, and parsing and reading, by the UE, the small data carried by the paging message.
A base station, comprising:
- a communications interface;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- broadcast a paging message through the communications interface, wherein the paging message carries UE identifiers of N to-be-paged user equipment (UEs) and small data for at least one of the N to-be-paged UEs, and the small data is data whose data volume is less than a preset data volume threshold, and wherein N is an integer greater than 0.
