METHOD, NETWORK DEVICE AND TERMINAL DEVICE FOR PAGING TERMINAL DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method of paging a terminal device in a communication system comprising network devices and terminal devices, wherein, the method comprises:
- receiving, by the network device, a paging initiation message;
determining, by the network device, a paged terminal device;
determining, by the network device, a paging occasion;
sending, by the network device, a physical layer paging indication and a paging message at a time corresponding to the paging occasion, detecting, by the terminal device, the physical layer paging indication at the paging occasion;
receiving the paging message, by the terminal device, which detects the physical layer paging indication at the corresponding paging occasion.

Abstract
The present invention proposes a new method, a network device, and a terminal device of paging a terminal device in a communication system. The receiving a paging initiation present invention determines the paged object based on the group ID and/or the device ID of the paged terminal device, further, defines a specific paging occasion for the terminal device having group function; at the specific paging occasion paging message comprising the group ID and/or the device ID of the paged terminal device is sent; further, paging reason is inserted into the paging message; wherein the terminal device receives the paging message at the specific paging occasion defined by the system; and further reads the paging reason and responds accordingly to complete the paging procedure after the group ID and/or the device ID of its own is read. This paging mechanism of this invention solves the problem of paging determining a paging a group of terminal devices. It can meet the requirement of paging a specific or a group of terminal devices. The paging efficiency is thereby improved, and no negative impact on the paging of the current network terminal device is introduced.

8. A network device which sends paging message in the communication system, wherein the communication system comprises at least one terminal device with a group ID and a device ID, the network device comprises:
-
a receiver, for receiving a paging initiation message, which comprises the group ID and/or device ID of the paged terminal device; an apparatus for determining paged terminal device, configured to determine a paged terminal device based on the paging initiation message, the paged terminal device being determined by its group ID or device ID; an apparatus for calculating paging occasion, configured to calculate a paging occasion based on the group ID of the paged terminal device; an apparatus for generating physical layer data, configured to generate a physical layer control message which comprises a physical layer paging indication; an apparatus for generating paging message, configured to generate a paging message which comprises the group ID and/or device ID of the paged terminal device; a transmitter, for sending the physical layer information and the paging message at a time corresponding to the paging occasion. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
