Paging message transmission method and apparatus
This application provides a paging message transmission method and apparatus, where the method includes: receiving, by a terminal device, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) from a network device, where one or more types of first indication information, second indication information, a short message, and scheduling information of a paging message are carried on the PDCCH, the first indication information is used to indicate that the PDCCH carries the short message and/or the scheduling information, and the second indication information is used to indicate whether the scheduling information of the paging message is valid and/or whether the terminal device needs to receive a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and obtaining, by the terminal device based on the PDCCH, one or more types of the information carried on the PDCCH.

obtaining, by the terminal device based on the PDCCH, the one or more pieces of information carried on the PDCCH.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein downlink control information (DCI) is carried on the PDCCH, and the one or more pieces of information are carried in the DCI.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein N bits of a first field in the DCI carry the first indication information, K bits of a second field in the DCI carry the second indication information, and the first field and the second field are the same or different fields, wherein N≥1 and N is an integer, and K≥1 and K is an integer.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when the PDCCH is received the terminal device is in a connected mode or in an idle mode.
5. A method, comprising:
sending, by a network device, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) to a terminal device, wherein the PDCCH carries one or more pieces of information, the one or more pieces of information include first indication information and second indication information, a combination of the first indication information and the second indication information is two bits, and the combination of the first indication information and the second indication information indicates that the PDCCH further carries a short message or scheduling information of a paging message, and wherein a value of the two bits of 01 indicates that the scheduling information of the paging message is carried on the PDCCH, and a value of the two bits of 10 indicates that the short message is carried on the PDCCH.
6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein downlink control information (DCI) is carried on the PDCCH, and the one or more pieces of information are carried in the DCI.
7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein N bits of a first field in the DCI carry the first indication information, K bits of a second field in the DCI carry the second indication information, and the first field and the second field are the same or different fields, wherein N≥1 and N is an integer, and K≥1 and K is an integer.
8. An apparatus, comprising:
a receiver, configured to receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) from a network device, wherein the PDCCH carries one or more pieces of information, the one or more pieces of information include first indication information and second indication information, a combination of the first indication information and the second indication information is two bits, and the combination of the first indication information and the second indication information indicates that the PDCCH further carries a short message or scheduling information of a paging message, and wherein a value of the two bits of 01 indicates that the scheduling information of the paging message is carried on the PDCCH, and a value of the two bits of 10 indicates that the short message is carried on the PDCCH; and
a processor, configured to obtain, based on the PDCCH, the one or more pieces of information carried on the PDCCH.
9. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein downlink control information (DCI) is carried on the PDCCH, and the one or more pieces of information are carried in the DCI.
10. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein N bits of a first field in the DCI carry the first indication information, K bits of a second field in the DCI carry the second indication information, and the first field and the second field are the same or different fields, wherein N≥1 and N is an integer, and K≥1 and K is an integer.
11. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the apparatus is a terminal device, and when the PDCCH is received the terminal device is in a connected mode or in an idle mode.
