METHOD FOR ALLOCATING IDENTIFICATION, METHOD FOR PAGING GROUP, AND COMMUNICATION DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for allocating an identification (ID) to a terminal device to facilitate group paging, comprising:
- receiving a group ID for the terminal device, wherein the group ID corresponds to a group of group-paged objects, wherein the group ID is allocated by a core network device, and wherein the group of the group-paged objects comprises one or more subgroups;
allocating, by a network device, a device ID or a user ID for the terminal device, wherein the device ID or the user ID comprises information of a subgroup ID of a subgroup to which the terminal device belongs; and
sending the allocated device ID or user ID to the terminal device.

Abstract
A method for allocating an identification using an access network grouping scheme, and a method and apparatus for paging group are described. The ID allocating method comprises: receiving a group ID of a group of group-paged objects allocated by a core network device for a terminal device, wherein the group of group-paged objects comprises one or more subgroups; allocating a device ID or a user ID to the terminal device, wherein the device ID or the user ID comprises information of a subgroup ID of a subgroup to which the terminal device belongs; and sending the allocated device ID or user ID to the terminal device. The number of terminals in the subgroup is appropriate, and the resources are allocated more flexibly and reasonably.

5. A method for group paging, comprising:
-
receiving a group paging request from a core network device, wherein the group paging request comprises a group identification (ID) of a group of group-paged objects; determining the number of terminal devices belonging to the group of group-paged objects in a cell supported by an access network device according to the group ID; grouping the terminal devices into one or more subgroups based on the number of terminal devices; determining a subgroup ID corresponding to a subgroup of the one or more subgroups; generating a group paging message carrying the subgroup ID; and sending the group paging message. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)

8. A method group paging, comprising:
-
receiving a group paging message generated by an access network device via monitoring a paging channel, wherein the group paging message carries a subgroup identification (ID) determined by the access network device; obtaining the subgroup ID from the group paging message; determining whether the subgroup ID matches a stored device ID or user ID; and responding to the group paging message in response to determining that the subgroup ID matches the stored device ID or user ID. - View Dependent Claims (9)

10. A communication device, comprising:
-
a receiver configured to receive a group identification (ID) for a terminal device, wherein the group ID corresponds to a group of group-paged objects, wherein the group ID is allocated by a core network device, and wherein the group of group-paged objects comprises one or more subgroups; a processor configured to allocate a device ID or a user ID for the terminal device, wherein the device ID or the user ID comprises information of a subgroup ID of a subgroup to which the terminal device belongs; and a transmitter configured to send the allocated device ID or user ID to the terminal device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A communication device, comprising:
-
a receiver configured to receive a group paging request from a core network device, wherein the group paging request comprises a group identification (ID) of a group of group-paged objects; a processor configured to determine the number of terminal devices belonging to the group of group-paged objects in a cell supported by an access network device according to the group ID;
configured to group the terminal devices into one or more subgroups based on the number of terminal devices;
configured to determine a subgroup ID corresponding to a subgroup of the one or more subgroups; and
configured to generate a group paging message carrying the subgroup ID; anda transmitter configured to send the group paging message. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
