FIG. 12 is a schematic block diagram of a device 4000 for paging according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The device may be the relay terminal device in the method 1000. As shown in FIG. 12, the device 4000 includes a memory 4010, a processor 4020, an input/output interface 4030 and a communication interface 4040. Herein, the memory 4010, the processor 4020, the input/output interface 4030 and the communication interface 4040 are connected through an internal connection path. The memory 4010 is configured to store an instruction. The processor 4020 is configured to execute the instruction stored in the memory 4020 to control the input/output interface 4030 to receive inputted data and information, output data such as an operation result, and control the communication interface 4040 to send a signal.

The processor 4020 is configured to determine state information of a remote terminal device. The state information is used by a network device to determine a paging manner for paging the remote terminal device. The input/output interface 4030 is configured to send the state information to the network device.

It is to be understood that the device 4000 may correspond to the relay terminal device in the method 1000, may realize corresponding functions of the relay terminal device in the method 1000, which is not elaborated herein for simplicity.

It is to be understood that, in the embodiment of the disclosure, the processor 4020 may adopt a universal CPU, a microprocessor, an ASIC or one or more integrated circuits, to execute a related program to implement the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the disclosure.
