EVENT-BASED PAGING, EVENT-BASED NOTIFICATIONS AND PAGING RESOURCE COORDINATION

Abstract:

In an embodiment, a node (e.g., a UE, BS or relay node) transmits a paging message including at least one reference value associated with an event. At least one UE responds to the paging message (e.g., based on the presence of the at least one reference value in the paging message) with a response including UE-identifying information and the at least one reference value associated with the event. In an example where the node is a relay node, the relay node may coordinate with a BS so as to obtain an allocation of paging resources for transmission of the paging message. In a further embodiment, a UE may transmit, to a BS, at least one Message-A comprised by a PUSCH of a 2-Step RACH procedure, wherein the Message-A includes the at least one reference value associated with the event.
