A method for paging, performed by a User equipment, UE, comprising: receiving, from a base station via a system information block, SIB, paging control channel, PCCH, configuration information for one or a plurality of non-anchor carriers available for receiving a paging message; applying the received PCCH configuration information to the one or plurality of the non-anchor carriers; and receiving a paging message on at least one non-anchor carrier according to the PCCH configuration information for the at least one of the one or plurality of the non-anchor carriers, characterised in that: an npdcch-NumRepetitionPaging information element is included in the PCCH configuration information; and if a npdcch-NumRepetitionPaging information element of the PCCH configuration information for any one of the one or plurality of the non-anchor carriers is absent, using the npdcch-NumRepetitionPaging information element of PCCH configuration information for an anchor carrier corresponding to the npdcch-NumRepetitionPaging information element absent in the PCCH configuration information for the non-anchor carrier, as the at least npdcch-NumRepetitionPaging information element absent in the PCCH configuration information for the non-anchor carrier, and applying this at least absent npdcch-NumRepetitionPaging information element together with the PCCH configuration information for the non-anchor carrier to the non-anchor carrier. receiving, from a base station via a system information block, SIB, paging control channel, PCCH, configuration information for one or a plurality of non-anchor carriers available for receiving a paging message; applying the received PCCH configuration information to the one or plurality of the non-anchor carriers; and receiving a paging message on at least one non-anchor carrier according to the PCCH configuration information for the at least one of the one or plurality of the non-anchor carriers, characterised in that: an npdcch-NumRepetitionPaging information element is included in the PCCH configuration information; and if a npdcch-NumRepetitionPaging information element of the PCCH configuration information for any one of the one or plurality of the non-anchor carriers is absent, using the npdcch-NumRepetitionPaging information element of PCCH configuration information for an anchor carrier corresponding to the npdcch-NumRepetitionPaging information element absent in the PCCH configuration information for the non-anchor carrier, as the at least npdcch-NumRepetitionPaging information element absent in the PCCH configuration information for the non-anchor carrier, and applying this at least absent npdcch-NumRepetitionPaging information element together with the PCCH configuration information for the non-anchor carrier to the non-anchor carrier. an npdcch-NumRepetitionPaging information element is included in the PCCH configuration information; and if a npdcch-NumRepetitionPaging information element of the PCCH configuration information for any one of the one or plurality of the non-anchor carriers is absent, using the npdcch-NumRepetitionPaging information element of PCCH configuration information for an anchor carrier corresponding to the npdcch-NumRepetitionPaging information element absent in the PCCH configuration information for the non-anchor carrier, as the at least npdcch-NumRepetitionPaging information element absent in the PCCH configuration information for the non-anchor carrier, and applying this at least absent npdcch-NumRepetitionPaging information element together with the PCCH configuration information for the non-anchor carrier to the non-anchor carrier.
