Abstract
An apparatus and method for paging a UE and a communications system. The method includes: calculating a first-grade paging group index based on an inherent identity of the UE, or based on an inherent identity of the UE and a network configuration parameter; calculating a second-grade paging group index based on a network identity allocated by an MME; receiving indication information for indicating paging group indices transmitted by a base station; determining whether the information contained in the indication information is consistent with the first-grade paging group index and the second-grade paging group index; and decoding a downlink data channel to determine whether the UE is paged when it is consistent. Hence, different paging groups may have identical or approximate numbers of UEs, which may reduce a probability of 'false paging' of the overall cell.
