Abstract
A communication method and system for converging a 5th-generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of things (IoT) are provided. The t disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for determining paging occasions (PO).
Claims20
A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a base station, first information associated with a number of paging frames (PFs) in a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, second information on an offset (Offset), third information on a number of paging occasions (POs) per PF and fourth information on a default DRX cycle;
- identifying a PF based on the first information, the second information and the DRX cycle, wherein the DRX cycle is determined based on the default DRX cycle;
- identifying an index for a PO based on the first information and the third information;
- and
- monitoring the PO of the identified index, wherein the PO includes one or more physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasions for paging.
A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- transmitting, to a terminal, first information associated with a number of paging frames (PFs) in a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, second information on an offset (Offset), third information on a number of paging occasions (POs) per PF and fourth information on a default DRX cycle, wherein the DRX cycle is determined based on the default DRX cycle;
- and
- transmitting, to the terminal, downlink control information (DCI) in a PO of a PF,
- wherein the first information, the second information, and the DRX cycle are used for identifying the PF,
- wherein the first information and the third information are used for indicating an index for the PO, and
- wherein the PO of the index is monitored, the PO includes one or more physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasions for paging.
A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- control the transceiver to receive, from a base station, first information associated with a number of paging frames (PFs) in a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, second information on an offset (Offset), third information on a number of paging occasions (POs) per PF and fourth information on a default DRX cycle,
- identify a PF based on the first information, the second information and the DRX cycle, wherein the DRX cycle is determined based on the default DRX cycle,
- identify an index for a PO based on the first information and the third information, and
- monitor the PO of the identified index, wherein the PO includes one or more physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasions for paging.
A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- control the transceiver to transmit, to a terminal, first information associated with a number of paging frames (PFs) in a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, second information on an offset (Offset), third information on a number of paging occasions (POs) per PF and fourth information on a default DRX cycle, wherein the DRX cycle is determined based on the default DRX cycle, and
- transmit, to the terminal, downlink control information (DCI) in a PO of a PF,
- wherein the first information, the second information, and the DRX cycle are used for identifying the PF,
- wherein the first information and the third information are used for indicating an index for the PO, and
- wherein the PO of the index is monitored, the PO includes one or more physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasions for paging.
