METHOD FOR PAGING USER EQUIPMENT AND APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A system for paging user equipment, comprising:
- a network device; and
a base station;
wherein the base station is configured to determine an area identifier and a corresponding layering type, and send the area identifier and the corresponding layering type to the network device, wherein the layering type is a coverage-oriented type; and
wherein the network device is configured to determine a coverage-oriented area in a registration area of a user equipment based on the area identifier and the corresponding layering type, and page the user equipment in the coverage-oriented area.

Abstract
A method for paging a user equipment includes: receiving, by the user equipment, an area identifier and a corresponding layering type, where the layering type is a capacity-oriented type or a coverage-oriented type; if an area currently accessed by the user equipment is a capacity-oriented area, switching, by the user equipment, to a coverage-oriented area based on the layering type when changing to an idle state; and receiving a paging message for the coverage-oriented area. Alternatively, the method includes: determining, by a network device, a coverage-oriented area in a registration area of a user equipment based on an area identifier and a corresponding layering type, and paging the user equipment in the coverage-oriented area.
