METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PAGING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240260000 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PAGING

The patent application relates to determining the identity of a terminal device based on its configuration status of extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) and current radio resource control (RRC) state. It also involves determining paging frame (PF) and paging occasion (PO) based on the terminal device's identity to enable efficient paging in eDRX in RRC idle or inactive states.

Original Abstract Submitted

embodiments of the present disclosure relate to determination of terminal device's identify. a terminal device determines an identity (id) of the terminal device based on configuration status of extended discontinuous reception (edrx) and current radio resource control (rrc) state of the terminal device; and determines one or both of paging frame (pf) and paging occasion (po) based on the determined id of the terminal device. in this way, paging in the edrx can work well in rrc idle state or rrc inactive state, and the network and the ue may be synchronized with ue's pf and po for paging in the edrx.
