The granted patent (Publication Number: US12010651B2) discloses a wireless communication method involving a terminal receiving a paging early indication (PEI) from a network device, indicating whether at least one terminal in a terminal group should receive paging indication information. The method includes monitoring a paging occasion (PO) group based on the PEI and receiving the paging indication information. Each PO group has the same quantity of POs, and they do not overlap within a paging cycle. The method also involves determining the start physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion and allocating terminals to terminal groups based on their capabilities, modes, and service information.

Furthermore, the patent describes a terminal and a network device that perform operations related to sending and receiving the PEI, monitoring the PO group, and receiving the paging indication information. The terminal and network device are designed to handle multiple terminal groups, each corresponding to a specific PO group within a paging cycle. The identification information of the terminal group is received through a radio resource control (RRC) connection configuration message. The method ensures efficient wireless communication by organizing terminals into groups and optimizing the monitoring of PO groups based on the PEI, ultimately enhancing the overall network performance and resource utilization in wireless communication systems.
