LTE Paging Process

The paging procedure is used by the network to request the establishment of a NAS signaling connection to the UE. The NAS signaling connection thus established can also be used to transport cdma2000 signaling messages to the UE. Another purpose of the paging procedure is to prompt the UE to reattach if necessary as a result of a network failure. If the UE is not attached when it receives a paging for EPS services, the UE shall ignore the paging. Additionally, the network can use the paging procedure to initiate the mobile terminating CS fallback procedure.

LTE Requirements for Paging:Downlink Paging Control Channel (PCCH) Transmits paging information to UEs Notifies UEs of changes in System Information (SI) which will require a

reacquisition of SI. The paging channel can also be used to notify the UEs of the presence of EWTS (Earthquakes and Tsunami Warning Systems) information.

The paging channel can also be used to notify the UEs when the network does not know the location cell of the UE.

Paging Overview:Key Aspects of Paging Process


The UEs used Discontinuous Receive (DRx) in idle mode in order to reduce battery life. DRX is configured via parameters sent in SIB2 UEs monitor the PDCCH channel at regular intervals (set by the DRx parameters) in order to check for the presence of a paging message. If the PDCCH indicates that a paging message is transmitted in the sub frame then the UE needs to demodulate the paging channel (PCH) to see if the paging message is directed to it. Paging messages are sent to all e-NodeBs in a Tracking Area. The same paging message is transmitted on each eNodeB.

Core Network Initiated Paging:Overview Description


UEs use DRx when in idle mode in order to wake at regular intervals to check for paging messages. The MME sends the PAGING message to each eNodeB with cells belonging to the tracking area(s) in which the UE is registered. Each eNodeB can contain cells belonging to different tracking areas, where as each cell can only belong to one TA. The paging response back to the MME is initiated on NAS layer and is sent by the eNB based on NAS-level routing information.

LTE Paging Initial Context Setup

The MME initiates a paging message which is sent to all eNodeBs in a tracking area(s)

The UE uses Random access Procedure to initiate access to the serving cell. NAS Messaging continues in order to set up the call.

Tracking area Reporting UE Behavior Tracking Area Registration.


In the UE, the AS shall report tracking area information to the NAS. If the UE reads more than one PLMN identity in the current cell, the UE shall report the found PLMN identities that make the cell suitable in the tracking area information to NAS. The non-access part of the location registration process is using the same processes as WCDMA [Specifiedin3GPPTS23.122] Actions for the UE AS upon reception of Location Registration reject are specified in [3GPPTS22.011] and [3GPPTS24.301].

RAN Sharing Up to 6 PLMNs 1 Tracking Area Code


E-UTRAN can support RAN sharing based on support for multi-to-multi relationship between eNodeBs and EPC nodes. If the RAN is shared by multiple operators, the system information broadcasted in each shared cell contains the PLMN-id of each operator (upto6) and a single tracking area code (TAC) valid with in all the PLMNs sharing the RAN resources. The UE will read upto 6PLMN-ids and select one of the PLMN-ids at initial attachment and to indicate this PLMN-id to the E-UTRAN in subsequent instances of the Random Access procedures. The eNodeB selects an appropriate MME for the PLMN indicated by the UE. Once attached to an MME, the UE shall be able to indicate the allocated MME in subsequent instances of the Random Access procedures.

Paging Channel Logical and Transport Channels Paging Control Channel (PCCH) Transfers paging information and system information change notification. This

channel is used for paging when the network does not know the location cell of the UE

Paging Channel (PCH) characterized by: Support for UE discontinuous reception (DRX) to enable UE power saving. Requirement to be broadcast in the entire coverage area of the cell. Mapped to the PDSCH physical channel.

Paging for EPS services through E-UTRAN using S-TMSI:The network shall initiate the paging procedure for EPS services using S-TMSI with CN domain indicator set to "PS" when NAS signalling messages, cdma2000 signalling messages or user data is pending to be sent to the UE when no NAS signalling connection exists. Upon reception of a paging indication, the UE responds to the paging with a SERVICE REQUEST message.

Paging for EPS services through E-UTRAN using IMSI:Paging for EPS services using IMSI is an abnormal procedure used for error recovery in the network. The network may initiate paging for EPS services using IMSI with CN domain indicator set to "PS" if the S-TMSI is not available due to a network failure.

Upon reception of a paging for EPS services using IMSI, the UE shall locally deactivate any EPS bearer context(s) and locally detach from EPS. Additionally the UE shall delete the following parameters: last visited registered TAI, TAI list, GUTI and KSIASME. The UE shall set the EPS update status to EU2 NOT UPDATED and change the state to EMM-DEREGISTERED. After performing the local detach, the UE shall then perform an attach procedure. If the UE is operating in CS/PS mode 1 or CS/PS mode 2 of operation, then the UE shall perform a combined attach procedure. Paging for CS fallback to A/Gb or Iu mode:The network may initiate the paging procedure for non-EPS services when the UE is IMSI attached for non-EPS services. To initiate the procedure when no NAS signalling connection exists, the EMM entity in the network requests the lower layer to start paging. The paging message includes a CN domain indicator set to "CS" in order to indicate that this is paging for CS fallback. To notify the UE about an incoming mobile terminating CS service when a NAS signalling connection exists, the EMM entity in the network shall send a CS SERVICE NOTIFICATION message. This message may also include CS service related parameters (e.g. Calling Line

Identification, SS or LCS related parameters). Upon reception of a paging indication, the UE shall respond with an EXTENDED SERVICE REQUEST. If the paging is received in EMM-IDLE mode, the UE shall respond immediately. If the paging is received as NAS CS NOTIFICATION message in EMM-CONNECTED mode, the UE may request upper layers input i.e. to accept or reject CS fallback before responding with an EXTENDED SERVICE REQUEST. The response is indicated in the CSFB response information element in the EXTENDED SERVICE REQUEST message in both EMM-IDLE and EMM-CONNECTED modes.
