Abstract

The invention relates to a method for paging coverage extension UEs in a cell controlled by a radio base station. At least one regularly-occurring coverage-extension-specific paging possibility (CE-specific paging possibility), is defined for paging CE UEs. The CE-UEs in the cell regularly monitor the at least one CE-specific paging possibility. When the radio base station determines to page all the user equipments in the cell, it pages the CE user equipments in the cell at the CE-specific paging possibility, using a coverage extension technique. The invention also relates to a method for paging a CE UE, which performs radio measurements by the CE-capable user equipment to determine whether coverage extension is necessary. The radio base station is informed about whether the CE-capable user equipment needs coverage extension or not and then pages the CE UEs applying or not applying a CE technique depending on whether coverage extension is necessary or not.
