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.
Claims20
A method implemented by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- the UE determining a paging position in the frequency domain for the UE, wherein the paging position is less than or equal to a first frequency bandwidth, the first frequency bandwidth is less than or equal to a reception bandwidth of the UE, the first frequency bandwidth is less than a cell transmission bandwidth of a cell, and the paging position in the frequency domain is determined as a function of a UE identifier (UE ID) associated with the UE and a number of available paging positions within the transmission bandwidth of the cell;
- the UE monitoring for paging indications at the determined paging position;
- and
- the UE receiving a first paging indication at the determined paging position.
A user equipment (UE) comprising:
- a processor configured to determine a paging position in the frequency domain as a function of a UE identifier (UE ID) associated with the UE and a number of available paging positions within a transmission bandwidth of a cell;
- a receiver configured to be tuned to a frequency associated with the paging position, wherein the paging position is less than or equal to a first frequency bandwidth, the first frequency bandwidth is less than or equal to a reception bandwidth of the UE, and the first frequency bandwidth is less than the transmission bandwidth of the cell;
- and
- the processor further configure to:
- monitor, via the receiver, for paging indications at the determined paging position, and
- receive, via the receiver, a first paging indication at the determined paging position.
A base station configured to:
- determine a paging position in the frequency domain for a User Equipment (UE) for a cell served by the base station, wherein the paging position is less than or equal to a first frequency bandwidth, the first frequency bandwidth is less than or equal to a reception bandwidth of the UE, the first frequency bandwidth is less than a cell transmission bandwidth of the cell, and the paging position in the frequency domain is determined as a function of a UE identifier (UE ID) associated with the UE and a number of available paging positions within the transmission bandwidth of the cell;
- and
- send a first paging indication to the UE at the determined paging position.
