Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for broadcasting an indication, and a method and apparatus for receiving an indication. The method for broadcasting the indication is applicable to a base station and includes broadcasting monitoring indication information, where the monitoring indication information is configured to indicate a first type user equipment to monitor paging signaling or to indicate a second type user equipment to monitor the paging signaling.

Claims (32)

1 . A method for broadcasting an indication, being applicable to a base station, the method comprising:

broadcasting monitoring indication information, wherein the monitoring indication information is configured to indicate first type user equipment to monitor paging signaling or to indicate second type user equipment to monitor the paging signaling; wherein the first type user equipment is general user equipment, and the second type user equipment is reduced capability user equipment;

wherein the monitoring indication information is a wake up signal;

in response to an expanded new first field in the wake up signal being a first value, the wake up signal is configured to indicate the first type user equipment to monitor the paging signaling, and

in response to the expanded new first field in the wake up signal being a second value, the wake up signal is configured to indicate the second type user equipment to monitor the paging signaling.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein

the wake up signal configured to indicate the first type user equipment to monitor the paging signaling is scrambled by a first scrambling manner, and

the wake up signal configured to indicate the second type user equipment to monitor the paging signaling is scrambled by a second scrambling manner.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein a user equipment capability of the second type user equipment is lower than a user equipment capability of the first type user equipment.

4 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, wherein the computer program, when executed by a processor, implements steps of the method for broadcasting an indication according to claim 1 .

5 . A method for receiving an indication, being applicable to a terminal, the method comprising:

receiving monitoring indication information broadcast by a base station, wherein the monitoring indication information is a wake up signal; and

determining whether to monitor paging signaling according to the monitoring indication information, which comprises:

in response to the terminal being a first type user equipment, which is general user equipment, if an expanded new first field in the wake-up signal is a first value, determining to monitor the paging signaling; or

in response to the terminal being second type user equipment which is reduced capability user equipment, if the expanded new first field in the wake up signal is a second value, determining to monitor the paging signaling.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein

in response to the terminal being the first type user equipment, the wake up signal is descrambled by a first descrambling manner; or

in response to the terminal being the second type user equipment, the wake up signal is descrambled by a second descrambling manner.

7 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein a user equipment capability of the second type user equipment is lower than a user equipment capability of the first type user equipment.

8 . An electronic device, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor,

wherein the processor is configured to implement the method for receiving an indication according to claim 5 .

9 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, wherein the computer program, when executed by a processor, implements steps of the method for receiving an indication according to claim 5 .

10 . An electronic device, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

broadcast monitoring indication information, wherein the monitoring indication information is configured to indicate first type user equipment to monitor paging signaling or to indicate second type user equipment to monitor the paging signaling; wherein the first type user equipment is general user equipment, and the second type user equipment is reduced capability user equipment;

wherein the monitoring indication information is a wake up signal;

in response to an expanded new first field in the wake-up signal being a first value, the wake-up signal is configured to indicate the first type of user equipment to monitor the paging signaling, and

in response to the expanded new first field in the wake up signal being a second value, the wake up signal is configured to indicate the second type user equipment to monitor the paging signaling.
