Abstract
Embodiments herein relate generally to a Control plane, CP, node, a method performed by the CP node, a Radio Access Network, RAN, node and a method performed by the RAN node. More particularly the embodiments herein relate to handling paging.
Claims31
A method performed by a Control Plane (CP) node, for handling paging, the method comprising:
- triggering that a User Equipment (UE) should be paged by an Access Network (AN) node;
- and
- transmitting, when triggered, paging assistance information to the AN node;
- wherein the paging assistance information comprises at least one of service priority information and/or paging priority information.
A method performed by an Access Network (AN) node for handling paging, the method comprising:
- receiving paging assistance information from a Control plane (CP) node;
- determining a paging strategy based on the received paging assistance information;
- and
- paging the User Equipment (UE) using the determined paging strategy;
- wherein the paging assistance information comprises at least one of service priority information and/or paging priority information.
A Control plane (CP) node, for handling paging, the CP node being adapted to:
- trigger that a user equipment (UE) should be paged by an access network (AN) node;
- and to
- transmit, when triggered, paging assistance information to the AN node;
- wherein the paging assistance information comprises at least one of service priority information and/or paging priority information.
22-26. (canceled)
An Access Network (AN) node for handling paging, the AN node being adapted to:
- receive paging assistance information from a Control plane (CP) node;
- determine a paging strategy based on the received paging assistance information;
- and to
- page a user equipment (UE) using the determined paging strategy, wherein
- the paging assistance information comprises at least one of service priority information and/or paging priority information.
28-35. (canceled)
A method performed by a system for handling paging, the method comprising:
- triggering, at a Control Plane (CP) node, that a User Equipment (UE) should be paged by an Access Network (AN) node;
- transmitting, when triggered, paging assistance information from the CP node to the AN node;
- receiving, at the AN node, paging assistance information from the CP node;
- determining, at the AN node, a paging strategy based on the received paging assistance information;
- and
- aging, at the AN node, the User Equipment, UE, using the determined aging strategy
- detecting, at the UE the paging from the AN node.
