Alternatively, the relay terminal device sends the state information to at least one second access network device, and the at least one second access network device is configured to send the state information to the first access network device.

In some implementation, the method further includes operations as follows. The relay terminal device receives a paging message sent by the first access network device, and the relay terminal device sends the paging message to the remote terminal device.

A device for paging is provided in an eleventh aspect, which is configured to execute the above method in the tenth aspect or any possible implementation of the tenth aspect. Specifically, the device includes function modules configured to execute the above method in the tenth aspect or any possible implementation of the tenth aspect.

A device for paging is provided in a twelfth aspect, which may include a memory, a processor, an input/output interface and a communication interface. The memory, the processor, the input/output interface and the communication interface are connected communicatively, the memory is configured to store an instruction, and the processor is configured to execute the instruction stored in the memory. When the instruction is executed, the processor executes the method in the tenth aspect or any implementation mode of the tenth aspect through the communication interface, and controls the input/output interface to receive inputted data and information and output data such as an operation result.

A computer-readable medium is provided in a thirteenth aspect, which stores a program code to be executed by a terminal device. The program code includes an instruction used to execute the method in the tenth aspect or each implementation of the tenth aspect.
