Abstract
There is provided a method for use in a user equipment when the user equipment is in idle mode or any other low activity state, and when the user equipment bandwidth is smaller than the cell transmission bandwidth. The method comprises the steps of determining a paging position of the user equipment in the frequency domain; receiving, from the network, paging information within the user equipment reception bandwidth; and changing, if indicated by the network, the paging position of the user equipment within the cell transmission bandwidth.
Claims19
A method for a user equipment unit in a cellular radio communication network, said method comprising:
- selecting a paging position within a network bandwidth, wherein the user equipment receives paging indications from the network according to the paging position, the user equipment is operating using a reception bandwidth that is smaller than the network bandwidth, and the user equipment is monitoring for the paging indication while operating in at least one of idle mode or another low activity state;
- and
- changing the paging position to a second paging position based on an explicit indication sent by the network, the explicit indication being sent using a dedicated signaling message sent to the user equipment from the network.
A method for paging transmission, for use in a network unit of a cellular radio communication network comprising one or several user equipments operating with a bandwidth that is smaller than the network bandwidth, said method comprising:
- transmitting, to a user equipment, a paging indication according to a paging position selected by the user equipment that is within the network bandwidth, the paging indication being sent while the user equipment is in idle mode or another low activity state;
- and
- transmitting, to the user equipment, a dedicated signaling message that explicitly indicates a change to a second paging position to be used by the user equipment for subsequent paging indications.
A user equipment for use in a cellular radio communication network, the user equipment being configured to:
- select a paging position within the network bandwidth, wherein the user equipment is configured to receive a paging indication from the network according to the paging position, the user equipment is configured to operate using a reception bandwidth that is smaller than the network bandwidth, and the user equipment is configured to monitor for the paging indication while operating in at least one of idle mode or another low activity state;
- and
- change the paging position of the user equipment to a second paging position based on an explicit indication sent by the network, the explicit indication being sent using a dedicated signaling message sent to the user equipment from the network.
A network unit, for use in a cellular radio communication network comprising one or more user equipments operating with a bandwidth that is smaller than a network bandwidth, said network unit being configured to:
- transmit a paging indication to a user equipment at a paging position selected by the user equipment that is within the network bandwidth, the paging indication being sent while the user equipment is in idle mode or another low activity state;
- and
- transmit, to the user equipment, a dedicated signaling message that explicitly indicates a change to a second paging position to be used by the user equipment for subsequent paging indications.
