In a fourth manner, if the state information indicates that the remote terminal device has the subscription relationship and/or the connection relationship with the relay terminal device and the remote terminal device is within the coverage of the network, the remote terminal device monitors the air interface message and receives the paging message sent by the first access network device through the air interface message.

In a fifth manner, if the state information indicates that the remote terminal device has no subscription relationship and/or connection relationship with the relay terminal device and the remote terminal device is out of the coverage of the network, the remote terminal device receives the paging message sent by the first access network device through the relay terminal device.

It is to be understood that the remote terminal device receives the paging message in any one of the above five manners, and the network device may send the paging message in the way corresponding to the above manner. Specifically, if the terminal device receives the paging message in the first manner, the network device sends the paging message in the first way. If the terminal device receives the paging message in the second manner, the network device sends the paging message in the second way. If the terminal device receives the paging message in the third manner, the network device sends the paging message in the third way. If the terminal device receives the paging message in the fourth manner, the network device sends the paging message in the fourth way. If the terminal device receives the paging message in the fifth manner, the network device sends the paging message in the fifth way. Which manner is adopted may be determined according to specification of the protocol or configuration of the network, which is not be limited in the embodiment of the disclosure.
