APPARATUSES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR PAGING ENHANCEMENTS FOR LOW COMPLEXITY USER EQUIPMENT

摘要

Embodiments described herein relate generally to techniques for paging in a wireless network. In some embodiments, a mobility management entity (MME) may determine a user equipment (UE) is associated with a predetermined category and adjust paging mechanisms based on said determination. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

主权项

1. One or more non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed, cause an evolved node B (eNB) to:
determine a user equipment (UE) is associated with a low-complexity category of UEs; generate an information element (IE) to include an indicator that is to indicate that the UE is associated with the low-complexity category of UEs, wherein the IE is separate from a radio capability structure that includes information about radio capabilities of the UE; and transmit the IE to a mobility management entity (MME).
