FIELD: physical downlink control channel.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to means for determining the first tracking event of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The paging-related parameters are received from the base station, the paging-related parameters including information associated with the paging search space configuration parameter and determining, according to the information associated with the paging search space configuration parameter, a binding mechanism for matching a PDCCH snooping event in paging search space to a PDCCH snooping event for a paging, where if the information indicates that a paging search space configuration parameter has been configured and the search space indicated by the paging search space configuration parameter is not a generic type0-PDCCH search space, a non-standard binding mechanism is used; if the information indicates that the paging search space configuration parameter is not configured, or the information associated with the paging search space configuration parameter indicates that the paging search space configuration parameter has been configured and the search space indicated by the paging search space configuration parameter, represents the common type0-PDCCH search space, use the standard binding mechanism.

EFFECT: ensuring that all PDCCH tracking events for paging specified in time division duplexing (TDD) are "valid PDCCH tracking events".
