Patent ID: 7206331

Claim:
A transmission method for a paging indication channel in a WCDMA mobile communication system comprising a user equipment and a base station system, the method comprising the steps of: determining whether the user equipment has paging information; setting a corresponding paging indicator to 0 when the user equipment has no paging information; and transmitting paging signals only when a paging indicator indicates that the user equipment has paging information, wherein transmission of the paging signals is closed off when the user equipment has no paging information and when the paging indicator is set to 0, the method comprises the steps of: a) resolving a paging indication location q corresponding to the user equipment by the base station and the user equipment based on a predetermined rule after a number of the paging indicators Np are determined; b) determining values of respective paging indicators P q by the base station based on paging indication information, whereby the values of P 0 , . . . , P Np−1 , are determined; c) transforming the paging indicators P q into corresponding bits, whereby bits corresponding to frame paging indicators of the paging indication channel are set to total M bits, setting an integer k=M/N p , and each paging indicator is indicated by transformed k bits, the each paging indicator P q =1 is transformed into +1 or −1, and the each paging indicator P q =0 is transformed into 0; and d) frequency-spreading, modulating and transmitting a bit corresponding to the paging indicator P q by the base station.
