在步骤S102中，从通信设备接收对应信息。对应信息指示至少一种发送资源与至少一个覆盖等级间的对应关系。在本申请文件所描述的情形中，基站根据覆盖等级确定为使属于该覆盖等级的UE可靠接收信号，基站发送信号时所需采用的物理层和/或高层参数。在本申请文件所描述的情形中，UE的接受性能越差，则该UE的覆盖等级越高。
在步骤S104中，从通信设备接收通过至少一种发送资源发送的至少一段控制信息。至少一段控制信息中的每段控制信息通过至少一种发送资源中的一种发送资源发送。
在步骤S106中，解析至少一段控制信息得到至少一段控制信息包括的内容。
在步骤S108中，若至少一段控制信息中的一段控制信息包括的内容包括指示UE的标识的信息，则根据对应信息，将UE的覆盖等级设置为与发 送该一段控制信息所通过的一种发送资源对应的至少一个覆盖等级中的第一覆盖等级。指示UE的标识的信息可包括以隐式编码的形式存在于循环冗余校验码中的UE标识。
相对于UE，通信设备对UE的覆盖等级的确定可更为准确。通过按照通信设备的指示设置UE的覆盖等级，UE的覆盖等级得到更为准确的设置，从而较好满足实际通信需求。
在一个实施例中，在步骤S108中，若至少一段控制信息中的一段控制信息包括的内容包括指示UE的标识的信息，则根据对应信息，将UE的覆盖等级设置为与发送该一段控制信息所通过的一种发送资源对应的至少一个覆盖等级中的第一覆盖等级具体包括：若至少一段控制信息中的一段控制信息包括的内容包括指示UE的标识的信息及以下信息中的至少一种：上/下行调度信息,请求非周期信道质量指示汇报,多播控制信道的变化指示及上行功率控制命令，随机接入信道RACH资源分配及上行数据的确认/非确认ACK/NACK反馈，则根据对应信息，将UE的覆盖等级设置为第一覆盖等级。

在一个实施例中，从通信设备接收控制信息包括：从通信设备接收通过专用发送资源发送的控制信息。专用发送资源仅用于向该UE发送信息。即，控制信息中无需包括指示UE的标识的信息，即可对UE的覆盖等级进行设置。
