Abstract

Embodiments of this application provide example communication methods and apparatuses. One example method includes receiving a paging message from a network device, where the paging message includes first information, and the first information is used to indicate a resource location of a public warning system message. The public warning system message is received based on the paging message.

Claims (46)

1. A communication method, wherein the method comprises:

receiving a paging message from a network device, wherein the paging message comprises first information used to indicate a resource location of a public warning system message, and wherein the resource location of the public warning system message comprises (1) a system information (SI) window location of the public warning system message or (2) a time-frequency resource location of the public warning system message; and

receiving the public warning system message based on the paging message, wherein receiving the public warning system message based on the paging message comprises:

receiving the public warning system message based on (1) a system information (SI) window location of the public warning system message or (2) a time-frequency resource location of the public warning system message.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first information comprises scheduling information and indication information of the public warning system message, and the indication information is used to indicate a sequence number of the scheduling information in a system message scheduling information list.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first information comprises downlink control information used to indicate the time-frequency resource location of the public warning system message.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the method further comprises:

monitoring the paging message on continuous paging occasions.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving wake-up indication information from the network device, wherein the wake-up indication information is used to indicate a terminal device to receive the public warning system message.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a first broadcast message from the network device, wherein the first broadcast message comprises first periodicity information, and the first periodicity information is used to indicate that a sending periodicity of the wake-up indication information is a first periodicity.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the method further comprises:

monitoring the paging message in a second periodicity, wherein the paging message is used to indicate that a system message changes or indicate the terminal device to receive a service related to the terminal device, and the second periodicity is greater than the first periodicity.

8. A communication method, wherein the method is applicable to a network device, and the method comprises:

sending a paging message to a terminal device, wherein the paging message comprises first information used to indicate a resource location of a public warning system message, the resource location of the public warning system message comprises (1) a system information (SI) window location of the public warning system message or (2) a time-frequency resource location of the public warning system message, and the paging message is used by the terminal device to receive the public warning system message based on (1) a system information (SI) window location of the public warning system message or (2) a time-frequency resource location of the public warning system message.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein:

the first information comprises scheduling information and indication information of the public warning system message, and the indication information is used to indicate a sequence number of the scheduling information in a system message scheduling information list.

10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein:

the first information comprises downlink control information used to indicate the time-frequency resource location of the public warning system message.

11. The method according to claim 8 wherein the method further comprises:

sending wake-up indication information to the terminal device, wherein the wake-up indication information is used to indicate the terminal device to receive the public warning system message.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises:

sending a first broadcast message to the terminal device, wherein the first broadcast message comprises first periodicity information used to indicate that a sending periodicity of the wake-up indication information is a first periodicity.

13. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises:

sending a second broadcast message to the terminal device, wherein the second broadcast message is used to indicate that the network device supports sending of the wake-up indication information.

14. An apparatus, comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more memories coupled to the one or more processors and storing programming instructions for execution by the one or more processors to cause the apparatus to perform operations comprising:

receiving a paging message from a network device, wherein the paging message comprises first information, and the first information is used to indicate a resource location of a public warning system message, and wherein the resource location of the public warning system message comprises (1) a system information (SI) window location of the public warning system message or (2) a time-frequency resource location of the public warning system message; and

receiving the public warning system message based on the paging message, wherein receiving the public warning system message based on the paging message comprises:

receiving the public warning system message based on (1) a system information (SI) window location of the public warning system message or (2) a time-frequency resource location of the public warning system message.

15. The apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein:

the first information comprises scheduling information and indication information of the public warning system message, and the indication information is used to indicate a sequence number of the scheduling information in a system message scheduling information list.

16. The apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein:

the first information comprises downlink control information used to indicate the time-frequency resource location of the public warning system message.

17. The apparatus according to claim 16 , wherein the operations further comprise:

monitoring the paging message on continuous paging occasions.

18. The apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving wake-up indication information from the network device, wherein the wake-up indication information is used to indicate a terminal device to receive the public warning system message.

19. The apparatus according to claim 18 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a first broadcast message from the network device, wherein the first broadcast message comprises first periodicity information, and the first periodicity information is used to indicate that a sending periodicity of the wake-up indication information is a first periodicity.

20. The apparatus according to claim 19 , wherein the operations further comprise:

monitoring the paging message in a second periodicity, wherein the paging message is used to indicate that a system message changes or indicate the terminal device to receive a service related to the terminal device, and the second periodicity is greater than the first periodicity.
