The invention discloses a downlink
data transmission method, device and
system and relates to the communication technology. The downlink
data transmission method includes the steps that when a
core network needs to send downlink data, a
paging message carrying a downlink
data transmission instruction is sent, after an RNC receives the
paging message, it can be determined that security activation needs to be conducted, then identifiers of security parameters carried in the
paging message and identifiers of
user equipment UE are stored, the UE is paged according to UE parameters, security activation is conducted when RRC connection is established, and downlink data transmission is conducted. Therefore,
air interface signaling overheads generated for security activation are reduced, access
delay generated for security activation is shortened, and the effects that air
inference signaling overhead reducing and access
delay reducing during downlink data transmission are achieved.
