Methods for supporting access and paging of low complexity user equipment
First Claim
1. A method by a base station for paging a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- receiving, from a mobility management entity (MME), a first message requesting the base station to report paging capability information of the UE; and
transmitting, to the MME, in response to receiving the first message, a second message including the paging capability information of the UE to be used by the MME for paging the UE,wherein the paging capability information of the UE is obtained from at least one of the UE and another base station, andwherein the paging capability information of the UE included in the second message includes information indicating that the UE is a low complexity UE corresponding to a UE category 0.

Abstract
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for supporting paging of a low complexity UE, including: determining, by a target base station during handover of a UE, whether a source base station during the handover supports low complexity UE, and transmitting paging capability information of the UE to a Mobility Management Entity MME in response to determining that the source base station does not support low complexity UE, wherein the paging capability information of the UE is used by the MME for paging the UE. The method provided by embodiments of the present disclosure is able to enhance paging with respect to the low complexity UE.
