20190342857 | PAGING PROCEDURES FOR USER EQUIPMENTS WITH COVERAGE EXTENSION - The present disclosure relates to a method for paging coverage extension UEs in a cell controlled by a radio base station. At least one CE-specific paging possibility is defined for paging CE-UEs. The CE-UEs in the cell regularly monitor the at least one CE-specific paging possibility. When the radio base station determines to page all the user equipments in the cell, it pages the CE user equipments in the cell at the CE-specific paging possibility, using a coverage extension technique. The disclosure also relates to a method for paging a CE-UE, which performs radio measurements by a CE-capable user equipment to determine whether coverage extension is necessary. The radio base station is informed about whether the CE-capable user equipment needs coverage extension and then pages the CE-UEs applying or not applying a CE technique depending on whether coverage extension is necessary. | 2019-11-07 |
20190342858 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR RECEIVING INFORMATION, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM - The embodiments of the disclosure provide a method and a device for receiving information, and a computer-readable medium. The method may include: association relationships between paging bandwidths and synchronization or reference signals are acquired; a paging message is received in a paging bandwidth corresponding to the UE according to a synchronization or reference signal having an association relationship with the paging bandwidth corresponding to the UE in the association relationships. By the technical solutions in the embodiments of the disclosure, the UE can receive the paging message more accurately, and the success rate of receiving the paging message by the UE in the paging bandwidth corresponding to the UE is improved. | 2019-11-07 |
