Optionally, the terminal identity threshold may be a threshold, where the indication range of the terminal identity threshold includes 0 to the value corresponding to the terminal identity threshold or the value corresponding to the terminal identity threshold to 1023; in another embodiment, the terminal identity The threshold is two thresholds, wherein the indicated range of the terminal identification threshold includes values between the two thresholds.

In one embodiment, when the terminal identification threshold is a threshold, the paging method described in the embodiment of the present invention is adopted, and in the paging configuration message sent by the network side device to the terminal, the terminal identification threshold is used for low-capability RedCap terminals (No. One type of terminal) to determine the paging occasion, wherein for the terminal identification threshold in the paging configuration message, when the terminal is a low-capability RedCap terminal, usually 0<=UE_ID<1024, when the UE_ID is less than the terminal identification threshold t, then The paging opportunity is monitored on an initial downlink BWP; when the UE_ID is greater than or equal to the terminal identification threshold t, the paging opportunity is monitored on a second initial downlink BWP different from the first initial downlink BWP.

In this embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the frequency domain of the first initial downlink BWP is lower than the frequency domain of the second initial downlink BWP.

When the network side device sends paging opportunities, it can send paging opportunities in the first initial downlink BWP and the second initial downlink BWP respectively; by configuring the second initial downlink BWP, some low-capability RedCap terminals can be shunted to the second initial downlink BWP The paging opportunity is received on the downlink BWP, so as to alleviate the capacity competition of the paging opportunity of the first initial downlink BWP.

In addition, in the paging method described in the embodiment of the present invention, the network side device indicates the terminal identification threshold in the paging configuration message sent to the terminal, and for the low-capability RedCap terminal whose terminal identification UE_ID is greater than or equal to the terminal identification threshold, it can directly set The RedCap terminal is distributed to the second initial downlink BWP to receive the paging opportunity, and under the condition of alleviating the capacity competition of the paging opportunity of the first initial downlink BWP, it can prevent the RedCap terminal from frequently using the first initial downlink BWP and the second initial downlink The problem of high energy consumption of redcap terminals caused by paging occasion monitoring between BWPs.

In addition, using the paging method described in the embodiment of the present invention, the paging configuration message sent by the network side device to the terminal indicates the terminal identification threshold, and uses the indicated terminal identification threshold to offload some low-capability RedCap terminals to the second initial downlink After the paging occasion is received on the BWP, it can ensure that the number of terminals corresponding to each paging occasion on different BWPs is more even.

For example, if among multiple terminals, the proportion of the number of non-RedCap terminals in the total number of terminals is ρ _n , and the proportion of the number of RedCap terminals in the total number of terminals is ρ _R , Proportion of RedCap UEs receiving paging at the first initial downlink BWP, /> A proportion of RedCap UEs receive paging at the first initial downlink BWP; where t is the terminal identification threshold indicated in the paging configuration message.

In order to ensure that the number of terminals paged by PO at each paging occasion on different BWPs is more even, the satisfied relationship is as follows:

in, The number of terminals listening to paging PDCCH in one PO on the second initial downlink BWP;/> is the number of terminals monitoring the paging PDCCH in one PO on the first initial downlink BWP;

According to the above relational expression, it can be determined that the determination method of the terminal identification threshold t is:

Wherein, T_R is the first paging cycle, that is, the paging cycle of the RedCap terminal; T is the second paging cycle, that is, the paging cycle of the non-RedCap terminal.

Therefore, in the paging method described in the embodiment of the present invention, when the network side device indicates the terminal identification threshold in the system message, it can be based on the proportion ρ _n of the number of non-RedCap terminals in the total number of terminals and the number of RedCap terminals in the total number of terminals The proportion ρ _R in the number, the first paging cycle T_R, and the second paging cycle T are determined, and the determined terminal identification threshold can ensure that the number of terminals at each paging occasion PO on different BWPs is more average.

Among the multiple terminals in the system, the proportion of the number of non-RedCap terminals in the total number of terminals ρ _n is 40%, and the proportion of the number of RedCap terminals in the total number of terminals ρ _R is 60%. The number of terminals corresponding to the call occasion is more average, and the terminal identification threshold t is determined to be 102.

As shown in Figure 3, non-RedCap terminals and RedCap terminals monitor a paging opportunity PO in a DRX cycle respectively; if UE1’s terminal ID is 1, it is a non-RedCap terminal; UE2’s terminal ID is 2, and it is a RedCap terminal ; UE120's terminal identity is 120, and it is a RedCap terminal; then UE1 listens to PO 0 of the second paging frame PF in each non-RedCap DRX cycle (second paging cycle) of the first initial downlink BWP, and UE2 in Monitor PO 0 of the third PF in each RedCap DRX cycle (first paging cycle) of the first initial downlink BWP, and UE120 monitors PO 1 of the first PF in each RedCap DRX cycle of the second initial downlink BWP .

Since the DRX cycle of the RedCap terminal is twice that of the non-RedCap terminal, the frequency of PO monitoring by the RedCap terminal is lower to achieve the effect of energy saving.

In the paging method according to the embodiment of the present invention, in step S110, after receiving the paging configuration message sent by the network side device, the first paging cycle in at least two paging cycles is indicated as discontinuous reception of the low-capability RedCap terminal When the DRX cycle, the second paging cycle is the DRX cycle of a non-low-capability RedCap terminal, and the first paging cycle is greater than the second paging cycle, if the terminal is a non-low-capability RedCap terminal , the method also includes:

According to the second paging cycle, determine a paging frame and a paging occasion for receiving a paging message;

Wherein, the system frame number of the paging frame and the second paging cycle satisfy a third preset relational expression, and the index of the paging occasion and the second paging cycle satisfy a fourth preset relational expression.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the third preset relational expression is expressed as:

(SFN+PF_offset) mod T = (T div N)*(UE_ID mod N);

Among them, SFN represents the system frame number corresponding to the paging frame PF; PF_offset is the paging frame offset value; T is the second paging cycle, that is, the DRX cycle of the non-RedCap UE; N is the second paging cycle The number of paging frames; Ns is the number of paging occasions included in one paging frame; UE_ID is the terminal identifier.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the fourth preset relational expression is expressed as:

Wherein, i_s represents the index of the paging occasion.

Using the paging method described in the embodiment of the present invention, in the case that the terminal is a non-low-capability RedCap terminal, the terminal determines the paging frame and paging timing for receiving the paging message according to the second paging cycle, and at each In the second paging cycle, monitor paging opportunities on the first initial downlink BWP respectively.

In the paging method described in the embodiment of the present invention, the paging configuration message sent by the network side device to the terminal includes the terminal identification threshold and/or at least two paging cycles, and uses the terminal identification threshold to divide the RedCap terminals into different initial Monitoring paging opportunities on the downlink BWP can prevent RedCap terminals from switching between different initial downlink BWPs to monitor paging opportunities, resulting in high energy consumption for redcap terminals; in addition, by configuring at least two paging cycles, low-capacity RedCap The period for the terminal to monitor paging occasions is greater than the period for non-low-capability RedCap terminals to monitor paging occasions, so that the frequency for low-capability RedCap terminals to monitor paging occasions is less than the frequency for non-low-capability RedCap terminals to monitor paging occasions, reaching the low-capability RedCap The energy saving effect of the terminal.
