Description

一种信号发送方法、网络设备及终端设备 技术领域
本申请涉及无线通信技术领域，特别涉及一种信号发送方法、网络设备及终端设备。
背景技术
在无线通信系统中，网络设备定期发送寻呼信号，指示终端设备是否应该从空闲态切换到连接态，以便与终端设备交互业务数据。处于空闲态的终端设备定期醒来检测寻呼信号，定期醒来的周期称为非连续接收(discontinuous reception，DRX)周期，醒来的位置称为寻呼机会(paging occasion，PO)。终端会在PO位置起始的搜索空间内检测物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel，PDCCH)，以判断自己是否被网络设备寻呼，如果被寻呼，则进入连接态。
在窄带物联网(narrow band internet of things，NB-IoT)系统中，网络设备在PO位置前设置有寻呼指示信号，以指示终端设备是否需要在PO位置处醒来。图1示出了现有技术中网络设备发送寻呼指示信号的方式，唤醒信号(wake up signal，WUS)/休眠信号(go to sleep signal，GTS)定期地出现在某些PO前，而WUS/非连续发送(discontinuous transmission，DTX)出现在其余PO前。网络设备指示终端设备寻呼指示信号的最大信号长度和位置，以便终端设备检测信号。
在WUS/GTS位置处，若终端在最大信号长度期间检测到WUS信号或GTS信号，则做相应处理，若将最大信号长度期间的信号都检测完之后，仍未检测到WUS信号或GTS信号，才认为自己移出了小区，进而触发小区测量、重选等操作。由于网络设备指示的最大信号长度通常大于WUS信号、GTS信号的实际信号长度，因而，网络设备指示的最大信号长度越大，终端检测信号的时间就越长，功耗也就越大。尤其在实际场景中，WUS信号与GTS信号的实际信号长度不同，而网络设备发送GTS信号的情况又比较多，为WUS信号和GTS信号指示统一的最大信号长度，还会显著增加终端检测GTS信号时的功耗。
因此，目前亟需要一种信号发送方法，用于解决现有技术中终端检测寻呼指示信号时功耗较大的技术问题。
发明内容
本申请实施方式的目的在于提供一种信号发送方法、网络设备及终端设备，用以降低终端设备检测寻呼指示信号时的功耗。
第一方面，本申请实施例提供一种信号发送方法，包括：
网络设备生成第一指示信息和第二指示信息，所述第一指示信息用于指示终端设备确定休眠信号的第一检测窗口长度，所述第二指示信息用于指示所述终端设备确定唤醒信号的第二检测窗口长度；所述唤醒信号用来指示所述终端设备需要在寻呼机会期间监听物理下行控制信道PDCCH，所述休眠信号用于指示所述终端设备不需要在所述寻呼机会期间监听所述PDCCH；
本申请实施例中，网络设备可生成两个指示信息，其中第一指示信息用于指示终端设备确定休眠信号的第一检测窗口长度，第二指示信息用于指示终端设备确定唤醒信号的第 二检测窗口长度，因而，网络设备发送第一指示信息和第二指示信息后，终端设备可根据第一指示信息确定第一检测窗口长度，根据第二指示信息确定第二检测窗口长度，进而在第一检测窗口长度内检测休眠信号，在第二检测窗口长度检测唤醒信号，从而避免现有技术中网络设备仅配置寻呼指示信号的最大信号长度，无论网络设备发送的是休眠信号还是唤醒信号，终端设备均需在该最大信号长度内检测信号而导致功耗较大的技术问题。
在一种可能的设计中，所述第一检测窗口长度小于所述第二检测窗口长度。
考虑到在实际应用中，网络设备寻呼终端设备或者系统消息变更的概率可能比较低，因而网络设备在大部分寻呼机会期间可能未发送PDCCH，即在唤醒信号/休眠信号的位置处网络设备发送休眠信号的概率更大，在唤醒信号/非连续发送位置处网络设备不发送任何信号的概率比较大，因此，本申请实施例中将第一检测窗口长度设置为小于第二检测窗口长度，可有效降低网络设备发送休眠信号的资源开销，并降低终端设备检测休眠信号的功耗。
可选地，所述第一指示信息为所述第一检测窗口长度，所述第二指示信息为所述第二检测窗口长度。
可选，所述第一指示信息为所述第一检测窗口长度，所述第二指示信息为所述第二检测窗口长度与所述第一检测窗口长度的比值或差值；或者，
所述第一指示信息为所述第一检测窗口长度与所述第二检测窗口长度的比值或差值，所述第二指示信息为所述第二检测窗口长度。
如此，网络设备可在第一指示信息和第二指示信息中均明文指示出休眠信号和唤醒信号各自的检测窗口长度，或者也可仅在其中一个指示信息中明文指示出该指示信息对应的寻呼指示信号的检测窗口长度，而在另一指示信息中指示出两个检测窗口长度之间的比值或差值，由终端设备根据指示信息中明文给出的检测窗口长度、两个检测窗口长度之间的比值或差值，确定另一检测窗口长度，从而有效提高网络设备配置指示信息的灵活性。
可选地，所述第一指示信息为所述第一检测窗口长度与设定重复次数的比值，所述第二指示信息为所述第二检测窗口长度与所述设定重复次数的比值，其中，所述设定重复次数为所述寻呼机会期间所述PDCCH的最大重复次数；
可选地，所述第一指示信息为所述第一检测窗口长度与设定重复次数的比值，所述第二指示信息为所述第二检测窗口长度与所述第一检测窗口长度的比值或差值；或者，
所述第一指示信息为所述第一检测窗口长度与所述第二检测窗口长度的比值或差值，所述第二指示信息为所述第二检测窗口长度与所述设定重复次数的比值；其中，所述设定重复次数为所述寻呼机会期间所述PDCCH的最大重复次数。
本申请实施例中，网络设备还可基于寻呼机会期间PDCCH的最大重复次数，对网络设备配置指示信息的方式进行进一步扩展，从而有效提高网络设备配置指示信息的灵活性。
在一种可能的设计中，所述网络设备可发送第一覆盖指示信息，所述第一覆盖指示信息用于指示所述休眠信号的覆盖范围。
本申请实施例中，网络设备通过发送第一覆盖指示信息，指示出休眠信号的覆盖范围。如此，网络设备可发出仅适用于部分终端设备(即位于休眠信号的覆盖范围内的终端设备)的休眠信号，相应地，终端设备可根据自身是否属于休眠信号的覆盖范围来检测休眠信号，从而有效减小网络设备发送休眠信号的资源开销，避免发送休眠信号的资源开销过大对终端设备的负面影响。
可选地，所述第一覆盖指示信息为第一信号衰减值，所述第一信号衰减值用于所述终端设备在接收来自所述网络设备的信号的衰减值小于所述第一信号衰减值时，确定所述终端设备位于所述休眠信号的覆盖范围内。
本申请实施例中，网络设备可通过给出第一信号衰减值来指示出休眠信号的覆盖范围。由于终端设备接收网络设备发送的信号的衰减值可用来衡量终端设备的覆盖情况，信号衰减值越小说明终端设备的覆盖情况越好，因而本申请实施例中将接收来自网络设备的信号的衰减值小于第一信号衰减值的终端设备设置为位于休眠信号的覆盖范围内，可使得网络设备发送的休眠信号仅适用于覆盖情况较好的终端设备，从而避免为了满足覆盖情况较差的终端设备对休眠信号的检测性能需求，而导致网络设备发送休眠信号的资源开销过大，影响其它终端设备调度的技术问题。
可选地，所述第一覆盖指示信息为第一功率，所述第一功率用于所述终端设备在参考信号接收功率RSRP大于所述第一功率时，确定所述终端设备位于所述休眠信号的覆盖范围内。
本申请实施例中，网络设备可通过给出第一功率来指示出休眠信号的覆盖范围。由于终端设备的RSRP代表其对网络设备发送的信号的接收强度，同样可用来衡量终端设备的覆盖情况，RSRP越大说明终端设备的覆盖情况越好。因而本申请实施例中将RSRP大于第一功率的终端设备设置为位于休眠信号的覆盖范围内，也可以达到使网络设备发送的休眠信号仅适用于覆盖较好的终端设备的目的，从而避免为了满足覆盖情况较差的终端设备对休眠信号的检测性能需求，而导致网络设备发送休眠信号的资源开销过大，影响其它终端设备调度的技术问题。
可选地，所述第一覆盖指示信息为第一重复次数，所述第一重复次数用于所述终端设备在正确接收到所述PDCCH的重复接收次数小于第一重复次数时，确定所述终端设备位于所述休眠信号的覆盖范围内。
本申请实施例中，网络设备还可通过给出第一重复次数来指示出休眠信号的覆盖范围。由于终端设备正确接收到PDCCH的重复接收次数同样可用来衡量终端设备的覆盖情况，重复接收次数越小说明终端设备的覆盖情况越好。因而本申请实施例中将重复接收次数小于第一重复次数的终端设备设置为位于休眠信号的覆盖范围内，也可以达到使网络设备发送的休眠信号仅适用于覆盖较好的终端设备的目的，从而避免为了满足覆盖情况较差的终端设备对休眠信号的检测性能需求，而导致网络设备发送休眠信号的资源开销过大，影响其它终端设备调度的技术问题。
在一种可能的设计中，所述网络设备可发送第二覆盖指示信息，所述第二覆盖指示信息用于指示所述唤醒信号的覆盖范围。
本申请实施例中，网络设备还可发出第二覆盖指示信息，指示出唤醒信号的覆盖范围。如此，网络设备可发出仅适用于部分终端设备(即位于唤醒信号的覆盖范围内的终端设备)的唤醒信号，相应地，终端设备可根据自身是否属于唤醒信号的覆盖范围来检测唤醒信号，从而有效减小网络设备发送唤醒信号的资源开销，避免发送唤醒信号的资源开销过大对终端设备的负面影响。
可选地，所述第二覆盖指示信息为第二信号衰减值，所述第二信号衰减值用于所述终端设备在接收来自所述网络设备的信号的衰减值小于所述第二信号衰减值时，确定所述终端设备位于所述唤醒信号的覆盖范围内。
与指示休眠信号的覆盖范围的方式类似，本申请实施例中，网络设备可通过给出第二信号衰减值来指示出唤醒信号的覆盖范围，将信号衰减值小于第二信号衰减值的终端设备设置为位于唤醒信号的覆盖范围内，可使得网络设备发送的唤醒信号仅适用于覆盖较好的终端设备，避免为了满足覆盖情况较差的终端设备对唤醒信号检测性能需求，而导致网络设备发送唤醒信号的资源开销过大，影响其它终端设备调度的技术问题。
可选地，所述第一覆盖指示信息为第一信号衰减值，所述第一信号衰减值用于所述终端设备在接收来自所述网络设备的信号的衰减值小于所述第一信号衰减值时，确定所述终端设备位于所述休眠信号的覆盖范围内；
所述第二信号衰减值大于所述第一信号衰减值。
本申请实施例中，若网络设备既指示休眠信号的覆盖范围，也指示唤醒信号的覆盖范围，那么网络设备可采用相同类型的网络参数来指示休眠信号和唤醒信号的覆盖范围。例如，均采用衰减值来指示。进一步地，用于指示唤醒信号的覆盖范围的第二信号衰减值可大于第一衰减值。在这一示例中，相比休眠信号，唤醒信号的覆盖范围更大些，其可覆盖信号衰减值更大的终端设备。可以存在一些覆盖情况较差的终端设备不属于休眠信号的覆盖范围，不使用休眠信号，但由于这些终端设备的信号衰减值仍小于第二信号衰减值，而处于唤醒信号的覆盖范围内，所以可以使用唤醒信号。可选地，所述第二覆盖指示信息为第二功率，所述第二功率用于所述终端设备在RSRP大于所述第二功率时，确定所述终端设备位于所述唤醒信号的覆盖范围内。
本申请实施例中，网络设备可通过给出第二功率来指示出唤醒信号的覆盖范围，将RSRP大于第二功率的终端设备设置为位于唤醒信号的覆盖范围内，从而使得网络设备发送的唤醒信号仅适用于覆盖较好的终端设备，避免为了满足覆盖情况较差的终端设备对唤醒信号的检测性能需求，而导致网络设备发送唤醒信号的资源开销过大，影响其他终端设备调度的技术问题。
可选地，所述第一覆盖指示信息为第一功率，所述第一功率用于所述终端设备在RSRP大于所述第一功率时，确定所述终端设备位于所述休眠信号的覆盖范围内；
所述第二功率小于所述第一功率。
本申请实施例中，若网络设备既指示休眠信号的覆盖范围，也指示唤醒信号的覆盖范围，那么网络设备可采用相同类型的网络参数来指示休眠信号和唤醒信号的覆盖范围。例如，均采用功率值来指示。进一步地，用于指示唤醒信号的覆盖范围的第二功率可与用于指示休眠信号的第一功率相关，例如，第二功率可为小于第一功率的某一功率值。在这一场景中，相比休眠信号，唤醒信号的覆盖范围更大些，其可覆盖具有更小RSRP的终端设备。可以存在一些覆盖情况较差的终端设备不属于休眠信号的覆盖范围，不使用休眠信号，但由于这些终端设备的RSRP值仍大于第二功率，而处于唤醒信号的覆盖范围内，所以可以使用唤醒信号。
可选地，所述第二覆盖指示信息为第二重复次数，所述第二重复次数用于所述终端设备在正确接收到所述PDCCH的重复接收次数小于第二重复次数时，确定所述终端设备位于所述唤醒信号的覆盖范围内。
本申请实施例中，网络设备还可通过给出第二重复次数来指示出唤醒信号的覆盖范围，通过将正确接收到PDCCH的重复接收次数小于第二重复接收次数的终端设备设置为位于唤醒信号的覆盖范围内，可使得网络设备发送的唤醒信号仅适用于覆盖较好的终端设备， 避免为了满足覆盖情况较差的终端设备对唤醒信号的检测性能需求，而导致网络设备发送唤醒信号的资源开销过大，影响其他终端设备调度的技术问题。
可选地，所述第一覆盖指示信息为第一重复次数，所述第一重复次数用于所述终端设备在正确接收到所述PDCCH的重复接收次数小于第一重复次数时，确定所述终端设备位于所述休眠信号的覆盖范围内；
所述第二重复次数大于所述第一重复次数。
本申请实施例中，若网络设备既指示休眠信号的覆盖范围，也指示唤醒信号的覆盖范围，那么网络设备可均采用重复次数来指示休眠信号、唤醒信号的覆盖范围。其中，用于指示唤醒信号的覆盖范围的第二重复次数可与用于指示休眠信号的覆盖范围的第一重复次数相关，例如，第二重复次数可大于第一重复次数，如此，相比与休眠信号，利用第二重复次数指示出的唤醒信号的覆盖范围更大些，其可覆盖具有更大重复次数的终端设备。可以存在一些覆盖情况较差的终端设备不属于休眠信号的覆盖范围，不可使用休眠信号，但由于这些终端设备的重复次数仍小于第二重复次数，而处于唤醒信号的覆盖范围内，所以可以使用唤醒信号。
在一种可能的设计中，网络设备可发送第一激活指示信息，所述第一激活指示信息用于指示所述终端设备是否根据所述第一覆盖指示信息确定所述终端设备是否位于所述第一覆盖指示信息所指示的休眠信号的覆盖范围内。
本申请实施例中，网络设备可通过广播或发送专用信令的方式，来触发终端设备是否根据第一覆盖指示信息确定自身是否位于所述第一覆盖指示信息所指示的休眠信号的覆盖范围内。尽管网络设备已经为休眠信号设定了覆盖范围，但在网络设备发送第一激活指示信息前，网络设备仍未启用为休眠信号设定的覆盖范围。此时，不论终端设备的覆盖情况如何，接入小区的所有终端设备均可使用网络设备发送的休眠信号。一旦网络设备发送第一激活指示信息后，则表示网络设备启用了为休眠信号设定的覆盖范围，网络设备根据接入小区的各终端设备的覆盖情况，而将休眠信号的适用性限制在位于休眠信号的覆盖范围内的终端设备，相应地，终端设备可根据自身是否位于休眠信号的覆盖范围内，来检测休眠信号，从而可降低网络设备发送休眠信号的资源开销，避免发送休眠信号的资源开销过大对系统的负面影响。

本申请实施例中，网络设备通过生成并发送第一持续时间指示信息和第二持续时间指示信息，可使终端设备获知唤醒信号的最大持续时间和最小持续时间，从而可进一步判断是否可以通过唤醒信号来进行小区同步，避免了现有技术中终端设备在只获知寻呼指示信号的最大信号长度，不知道寻呼指示信号的实际发送长度的场景下，尝试通过唤醒信号进行小区同步，但唤醒信号的实际发送长度不足以进行小区同步、浪费功耗的技术问题。

结合上述描述，如图3所示，为本申请实施例提供的一种信号发送方法的流程示意图。
参见图3，该方法包括：
步骤S301：网络设备生成第一指示信息和第二指示信息；
步骤S302：网络设备发送第一指示信息和第二指示信息；
步骤S303：终端设备接收网络设备发送的第一指示信息和第二指示信息；
步骤S304：终端设备根据第一指示信息，确定休眠信号的第一检测窗口长度；根据第二指示信息，确定唤醒信号的第二检测窗口长度。
本申请实施例中，所述唤醒信号和所述休眠信号为网络设备发送的两种寻呼指示信号，其中，唤醒信号用于指示终端设备需要在其后的寻呼机会期间醒来，监听PDCCH，休眠信号用于指示终端设备不需要在寻呼机会期间监听PDCCH，终端设备可继续处于休眠态。本申请实施例中，唤醒信号和休眠信号可以采用不同的序列、码分来区分，或者也可以通过时分、频分、空分来区分，本申请对此不作具体限制。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中所述的PDCCH包括但是不限于：窄带物理下行控制信道(narrowband downlink control channel，NPDCCH)、机器类型通信物理下行控制信道(machine-type communication physical downlink control channel，MPDCCH)，增强物理下行控制信道(enhanced physical downlink control channel，ePDCCH)。为了简便表述，下文将以NPDCCH为例来进行说明。
网络设备也可同时使用唤醒信号/休眠信号、唤醒信号/非连续发送两种信号发送类型来发送寻呼指示信号，唤醒信号/休眠信号定期地出现在某些寻呼机会前，而唤醒信号/非连续发送出现在其余寻呼机会前，且唤醒信号/休眠信号的重复周期为非连续接收周期的整数倍，终端设备可利用重复出现的唤醒信号/休眠信号来进行小区同步、确认。在唤醒信号/休眠信号出现的位置处，若其后的寻呼机会中存在NPDCCH(如网络设备需要寻呼终端设备或者系统消息发生了变更)，网络设备可在该位置处发送唤醒信号，否则发送休眠信号。在唤醒信号/非连续发送出现的位置处，若其后的寻呼机会中存在NPDCCH，网络设备可在该位置处发送唤醒信号，否则不发送任何信号。
在步骤S301的具体实施中，网络设备生成的第一指示信息用于指示终端设备确定休眠信号的第一检测窗口长度，该第一检测窗口长度为网络设备为休眠信号配置的最大信号长度或最大持续时间(即configured maximum duration of GTS)，用于终端设备在此检测窗口长度内检测休眠信号。
网络设备生成的第二指示信息用于指示终端设备确定唤醒信号的第二检测窗口长度，该第二检测窗口长度为网络设备为唤醒信号配置的最大信号长度或最大持续时间(即configured maximum duration of WUS)，用于终端设备在此检测窗口长度内检测唤醒信号。
图4示例性示出了本申请实施例中的第一检测窗口长度和第二检测窗口长度，如图4所示，第一检测窗口长度大于等于休眠信号的实际信号长度(GTS actual duration)，第二检测窗口长度大于等于唤醒信号的实际信号长度(WUS actual duration)。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中第一检测窗口长度可与第二检测窗口长度相同，也可以与第二检测窗口不同，本申请对此不作具体限制。可选地，网络设备将第一检测窗口长度与第二检测窗口长度设置为不同。
如此，终端设备在检测寻呼指示信号时，若在较小的检测窗口长度内检测到了相应的寻呼指示信号，则无需继续在较大的检测窗口长度内检测信号，从而可有效降低终端设备检测寻呼指示信号的功耗，避免现有技术中网络设备仅配置寻呼指示信号的最大信号长度，无论网络设备发送的是休眠信号还是唤醒信号，终端设备均需在该最大信号长度内检测信号，导致功耗较大的技术问题。
在一种可能的设计中，网络设备配置的第一检测窗口长度小于第二检测窗口长度。在实际应用中，网络设备寻呼终端设备或者系统消息变更的概率可能比较低，因而网络设备 在大部分寻呼机会期间可能未发送NPDCCH，即在唤醒信号/休眠信号的位置处，网络设备发送休眠信号的概率更大，在唤醒信号/非连续发送位置处，网络设备不发送任何信号的概率比较大。考虑到休眠信号的实际信号长度可能小于唤醒信号的实际信号长度，因此，本申请实施例中将第一检测窗口长度设置为小于第二检测窗口长度，可有效降低网络设备发送休眠信号的资源开销，并降低终端设备检测休眠信号的功耗。
本申请实施例中，网络设备可通过多种方式生成第一指示信息和第二指示信息。例如在一种可能的设计中，网络设备可在第一指示信息中明文指示出第一检测窗口长度，在第二指示信息中明文指示出第二检测窗口长度，在这一示例中，第一指示信息即为第一检测窗口长度，第二指示信息即为第二检测窗口长度。
在另一种可能的设计中，网络设备可仅在其中一个指示信息中明文指示出该指示信息对应的检测窗口长度，而在另一指示信息中指示出另一检测窗口长度与前一检测窗口长度的比值或差值，从而使得终端设备可根据明文指示的检测窗口长度、两个检测窗口长度的比值或差值，确定出另一检测窗口长度。例如，网络设备可将第一指示信息设置为第一检测窗口长度，将第二指示信息设置为第二检测窗口长度相对于第一检测窗口长度的比值或差值，终端设备接收到第一指示信息和第二指示信息后，可将第一检测窗口长度、第二检测窗口长度与第一检测窗口长度的比值相乘，将乘积确定为第二检测窗口长度，或者可将第一检测窗口长度、第二检测窗口长度与第一检测窗口长度的差值的和，确定为第二检测窗口长度。其中，差值为正时，可表示第二检测窗口长度大于第一检测窗口长度，差值为负时，可表示第二检测窗口长度小于第一检测窗口长度。或者，网络设备还可将第一指示信息设置为第一检测窗口长度相对于第二检测窗口长度的比值或差值，将第二指示信息设置为第二检测窗口长度，在这一示例中，终端设备可按照上述原理确定出第一检测窗口长度的大小，此处不再赘述。
在另一种可能的设计中，网络设备可在第一指示信息中明文指示出第一检测窗口长度与设定重复次数的比值，在第二指示信息中明文指示出第二检测窗口长度与该设定重复次数的比值，即第一指示信息为第一检测窗口长度与设定重复次数的比值，第二指示信息为第二检测窗口长度与设定重复次数的比值。其中，所述设定重复次数的取值可为寻呼机会期间NPDCCH的最大重复次数。
例如，设定重复次数的取值可以是{1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024,2048}等数值中的一个，单位是有效子帧(即valid subframe)。第一检测窗口长度和第二检测窗口长度可以均为设定重复次数乘以一个比值，该比值可以是
Figure PCTCN2018082027-appb-000001
中的一个。需要说明的是，第一检测窗口长度对应的比值，可与第二检测窗口长度对应的比值相同或不相同，本申请对此不做具体限制。
若网络设备将第一检测窗口长度对应的比值与第二检测窗口长度对应的比值设置为相同，则表示网络设备将第一检测窗口长度与第二检测窗口长度设置为相同，反之，若网络设备将第一检测窗口长度对应的比值与第二检测窗口对应的比值设置为不同，终端设备根据该设定重复次数、以及第一指示信息、第二指示信息中指示出的比值，确定出的第一检测窗口长度和第二检测窗口长度也将不同。
进一步地，网络设备还可将第一检测窗口长度对应的比值设置为小于第二检测窗口长度对应的比值，如此，网络设备配置的第一检测窗口长度将小于第二检测窗口长度，从而可有效降低网络设备发送休眠信号的资源开销，并降低终端设备检测休眠信号的功耗。
在另一种可能的设计中，网络设备可仅在其中一个指示信息中明文指示出该指示信息对应的检测窗口长度与设定重复次数的比值，而在另一指示信息中指示出另一检测窗口长度与前一检测窗口长度的比值或差值，从而使得终端设备可根据明文指示的检测窗口长度与设定重复次数的比值、两个检测窗口长度的比值或差值，确定出另一检测窗口长度。
例如，网络设备可将第一指示信息设置为第一检测窗口长度与设定重复次数的比值，将第二指示信息设置为第二检测窗口长度相对于第一检测窗口长度的比值或差值，终端设备接收到第一指示信息和第二指示信息后，可根据设定重复次数、第一检测窗口长度与设定重复次数的比值，确定出第一检测窗口长度；进而将第一检测窗口长度、第二检测窗口长度与第一检测窗口长度的比值之间的乘积，确定为第二检测窗口长度，或者也可将第一检测窗口长度、第二检测窗口长度与第一检测窗口长度的差值之和，确定为第二检测窗口长度。其中，差值为正时，可表示第二检测窗口长度大于第一检测窗口长度，差值为负时，可表示第二检测窗口长度小于第一检测窗口长度。
再例如，网络设备还可将第一指示信息设置为第一检测窗口长度相对于第二检测窗口长度的比值或差值，将第二指示信息设置为第二检测窗口长度与设定重复次数的比值，在这一示例中终端设备可按照上述原理确定出第一检测窗口长度、第二检测窗口长度的大小，此处不再赘述。
本申请实施例中，网络设备还可按照基于上述多种方式可推导或引申得出的其它变种方案，来生成第一指示信息和第二指示信息，本申请对此不作具体限制。基于上述多种生成方式，网络设备可根据终端设备接入网络设备的实际情况来选择生成第一指示信息和第二指示信息的方式。如此，网络设备通过设置多种指示信息的生成方式，可有效提高网络设备配置指示信息的灵活性，改善系统性能。
在步骤S302的具体实施中，网络设备可通过小区的广播信令发送第一指示信息和第二指示信息。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中，网络设备可在同一广播信令中发送第一指示信息和第二指示信息，或者也可在不同的广播信令中分别发送第一指示信息和第二指示信息。如网络设备分别发送第一指示信息和第二指示信息，本申请实施例对两个指示信息的发送顺序不作具体限定，可以先发送第一指示信息，再发送第二指示信息，或者也可以反过来，先发送第二指示信息，再发送第一指示信息。
进一步地，为了便于终端设备检测寻呼指示信号，网络设备还可在广播信令中指示出寻呼指示信号的时域位置(如，唤醒信号或休眠信号位于寻呼机会前的什么位置)，本申请对此不再赘述。
在步骤S303和步骤S304的具体实施中，终端设备接收到第一指示信息和第二指示信息后，可按照上述原理确定第一检测窗口长度和第二检测窗口长度，并基于确定出的第一检测窗口长度、第二检测窗口长度检测网络设备发送的信号。
本申请实施例中，若第一检测窗口长度与第二检测窗口长度不相同，终端设备在检测寻呼指示信号时，在唤醒信号/休眠信号位置处，若在较小的检测窗口长度内未检测到相应的寻呼指示信号，则继续在较大的检测窗口长度内检测寻呼指示信号，若在较大的检测窗口长度内仍未检测到相应的寻呼指示信号，则认为终端设备自身已移出小区，从而可触发小区测量、小区重选等操作。
基于上面步骤S301至S304中的消息发送方法，本申请还提供该消息发送方法的一个 具体实施例。
在该具体实施例中，网络设备还可指示出唤醒信号、休眠信号两种类型的寻呼指示信号的覆盖范围(也可称之为覆盖能力或适用范围)。下面对该具体实施例进行详细说明。
如图5所示，为本具体实施例提供的一种信号发送方法的流程示意图。
参见图5，该方法进一步包括：
步骤S501：网络设备发送第一覆盖指示信息，和/或，网络设备发送第二覆盖指示信息；
步骤S502：终端设备接收网络设备发送的第一覆盖指示信息，根据该第一覆盖指示信息，确定休眠信号的覆盖范围；和/或，终端设备接收网络设备发送的第二覆盖指示信息，根据该第二覆盖指示信息，确定唤醒信号的覆盖范围。
步骤S503：终端设备检测网络设备发送的信号。
在应用场景中，为了满足覆盖情况较差的终端设备对寻呼指示信号的检测性能需求，网络设备通常需增大寻呼指示信号的实际信号长度，而且终端设备的覆盖情况越差，网络设备发送的寻呼指示信号的长度就越长。例如，为了满足终端设备在覆盖等级144dB/154dB/164dB下的检测性能，网络设备需将寻呼指示信号的长度分别设置为1ms/8ms/70ms。可以看出，覆盖等级为164dB的终端设备所需的寻呼指示信号的信号长度，显著大于比其覆盖情况较好的终端设备所需的寻呼指示信号的信号长度。此处，作为衡量终端设备覆盖情况的一种方式，覆盖等级144dB/154dB/164dB是指终端设备接收来自网络设备的信号的衰减值，衰减值越大表示终端设备的覆盖情况越差。即在144dB/154dB/164dB中，覆盖等级为164dB的终端设备的覆盖情况最差。
然而，网络设备在发送寻呼指示信号时，在唤醒信号/休眠信号出现的位置处，无论是否需要寻呼终端设备，网络设备都至少需要发送一个信号，即唤醒信号或休眠信号。如要满足覆盖情况较差的终端设备的检测性能，而增大寻呼指示信号的信号长度，网络设备发送寻呼指示信号的资源开销也会相应增加。在前述示例中，考虑到覆盖等级为164dB的终端设备，将寻呼指示信号的长度设置为70ms，便是一个很大的网络资源开销。此外，这部分增加的资源开销，有可能会影响其它终端设备的资源调度，从而影响系统性能。
因此，本申请实施例可通过为唤醒信号、休眠信号两种类型的寻呼指示信号分别设置适用覆盖范围，来限制唤醒信号、休眠信号对覆盖情况较差的终端设备的适用性，从而有效节省系统的网络资源，减小发送寻呼指示信号对系统的负面影响。
具体的，网络设备可通过多种方式指示唤醒信号、休眠信号的适用覆盖范围，例如，可以仅指示休眠信号的覆盖范围，也可以仅指示唤醒信号的覆盖范围，或者还可以既指示休眠信号的覆盖范围，也指示唤醒信号的覆盖范围。
在步骤S501的具体实施中，网络设备可发送第一覆盖指示信息，以指示出休眠信号的覆盖范围。其中，第一覆盖指示信息中可具体包括用于对终端设备的覆盖情况进行分类或评估的网络参数，如信号衰减值、RSRP值、NPDCCH重复接收次数等。如此，网络设备可发出仅适用于部分终端设备(即位于休眠信号的覆盖范围内的终端设备)的休眠信号，相应地，终端设备可根据自身是否属于网络设备发送的休眠信号的覆盖范围来检测休眠信号，从而减小网络设备发送休眠信号的资源开销，避免发送休眠信号的资源开销过大对终端设备调度的负面影响。
在一种可能的设计中，第一覆盖指示信息可以为第一信号衰减值。接收来自网络设备 的信号的衰减值越小，则表示终端设备的覆盖情况越好，反之亦然。因此，依据该第一信号衰减值，网络设备可将接收来自网络设备的信号的衰减值小于第一信号衰减值的终端设备设置为，位于休眠信号的覆盖范围内，而对于衰减值大于等于第一信号衰减值的终端设备，则认为其覆盖情况太差，被排除在休眠信号的覆盖范围外，而不可使用休眠信号。
需要说明的是，本领域技术人员可根据对系统性能的实际需求来具体设置第一信号衰减值的大小，本申请对此不作具体限制。
例如，第一信号衰减值可以是164dB，如此，覆盖等级为144dB和154dB的终端设备位于休眠信号的覆盖范围内，可使用休眠信号，而覆盖等级为164dB的终端设备则位于休眠信号的覆盖范围外，而不可使用休眠信号。
通过在第一覆盖信息中给出第一信号衰减值，可使得网络设备发送的休眠信号仅适用于覆盖情况较好的终端设备，从而避免为了满足覆盖情况较差的终端设备对休眠信号的检测性能需求，增大寻呼指示信号的信号长度，而导致网络设备发送休眠信号的资源开销过大，影响其他终端设备调度的技术问题。
在一种可能的设计中，第一覆盖指示信息还可以为第一功率，该第一功率用来从RSRP的维度来评估终端设备覆盖情况的好坏。终端设备的RSRP值，代表着其对网络设备发送的信号的接收强度，RSRP值越大的终端设备，其信号的接收强度越大，相应地覆盖情况也越好。因此，依据该第一功率，网络设备可将RSRP大于第一功率的终端设备设置为，位于休眠信号的覆盖范围内，而对于RSRP小于等于第一功率的终端设备，则认为其覆盖情况太差，被排除在休眠信号的覆盖范围外，而不可使用休眠信号。
需要说明的是，本领域技术人员可根据对系统性能的实际需求来具体设置第一功率的大小，本申请对此不作具体限制。
通过在第一覆盖信息中给出第一功率，也可使得网络设备发送的休眠信号仅适用于覆盖情况较好的终端设备，从而避免为了满足覆盖情况较差的终端设备对休眠信号的检测性能需求，增大寻呼指示信号的信号长度，而导致网络设备发送休眠信号的资源开销过大，影响其他终端设备调度的技术问题。
在一种可能的设计中，第一覆盖指示信息还可以为第一重复次数，在实际应用中，网络设备会将相同的数据多次重复发送给终端设备，终端设备进行多次重复接收，直至成功检测或正确解码得到网络设备所发送的数据。这一示例中，终端设备还会记录其最近的重复接收次数并存储。对于覆盖情况越差的终端设备，其重复接收次数也越大，反之覆盖情况越好的终端设备，其重复接收次数也越小。因此，依据该第一重复次数，网络设备可将正确接收到NPNCCH的重复接收次数小于第一重复次数的终端设备设置为，位于休眠信号的覆盖范围内，而对于重复接收次数大于等于第一重复次数的终端设备，则认为其覆盖情况太差，被排除在休眠信号的覆盖范围外，而不可使用休眠信号。
需要说明的是，本领域技术人员可根据对系统性能的实际需求来具体设置第一重复次数的大小，本申请对此不作具体限制。
通过在第一覆盖信息中给出第一重复次数，也可使得网络设备发送的休眠信号仅适用于覆盖情况较好的终端设备，从而避免为了满足覆盖情况较差的终端设备对休眠信号的检测性能需求，增大寻呼指示信号的信号长度，而导致网络设备发送休眠信号的资源开销过大，影响其他终端设备调度的技术问题。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中，终端设备可使用休眠信号是指，终端设备可正常检 测休眠信号，并根据休眠信号的指示，在下一寻呼机会期间进入休眠态，而终端设备不可使用休眠信号是指终端设备不检测休眠信号，或者检测到休眠信号后，忽略或丢弃该休眠信号，不按照休眠信号的指示执行相应操作。某一终端设备若位于休眠信号的覆盖范围内，则表示其可使用休眠信号，否则表示不可使用休眠信号。而终端设备是否可使用唤醒信号则与此类似。
在步骤S501的具体实施中，网络设备还可发送第二覆盖指示信息，以指示出唤醒信号的覆盖范围。其中，与第一覆盖指示信息类似，第二覆盖指示信息中也可具体包括用于对终端设备的覆盖情况进行分类或评估的网络参数，如信号衰减值、RSRP值、重复接收次数等；而且，本申请实施例中，第二覆盖指示信息与第一覆盖指示信息中可包含相同类型或不同类型的网络参数，本申请对此不作具体限制。可选地，在网络设备既指示休眠信号的覆盖范围，又指示唤醒信号的覆盖范围的场景下，网络设备将第一覆盖指示信息和第二覆盖指示信息中包含的网络参数的类型设置为相同。
如此，网络设备可发出仅适用于部分终端设备(即位于唤醒信号的覆盖范围内的终端设备)的唤醒信号，相应地，终端设备可根据自身是否属于唤醒信号的覆盖范围来检测唤醒信号，从而有效减小网络设备发送唤醒信号的资源开销，避免发送唤醒信号的资源开销过大对终端设备调度的负面影响。
在一种可能的设计中，第二覆盖指示信息可为第二信号衰减值，依据该第二信号衰减值，网络设备可将接收来自网络设备的信号的衰减值小于第二信号衰减值的终端设备设置为，位于唤醒信号的覆盖范围内，而对于衰减值大于等于第二信号衰减值的终端设备，则认为其覆盖情况太差，被排除在唤醒信号的覆盖范围外，而不可使用唤醒信号。
需要说明的是，本领域技术人员可根据对系统性能的实际需求来具体设置第二信号衰减值的大小，本申请对此不作具体限制。
与指示休眠信号的覆盖范围的方式类似，通过给出第二信号衰减值，可使网络设备发送的唤醒信号仅可使用于覆盖较好的终端设备，从而避免为了满足覆盖情况较差的终端设备对唤醒信号的检测性能需求，增大寻呼指示信号的信号长度，而导致网络设备发送唤醒信号的资源开销过大，影响其他终端设备调度的技术问题。
若网络设备为休眠信号和唤醒信号都指示了各自适用的覆盖范围，可选地，网络设备为休眠信号设置的覆盖范围可与为唤醒信号设置的覆盖范围不同，即若第一覆盖指示信息和第二覆盖指示信息均为信号衰减值，那么第一信号衰减值与第二信号衰减值不相等。进一步地，网络设备可将第一信号衰减值设置为小于第二信号衰减值。如此，依据设置的第一信号衰减值和第二信号衰减值，网络设备根据终端设备的覆盖情况将终端设备大致分为三大类，其中，第一类为衰减值小于第一信号衰减值的终端设备，这类终端设备在三类终端设备中覆盖情况最好，它们既位于休眠信号的覆盖范围内，也位于唤醒信号的覆盖范围内，可同时使用休眠信号和唤醒信号；第二类为衰减值大于等于第一信号衰减值但小于第二信号衰减值的终端设备，这类终端设备在三类终端设备中覆盖情况次好或一般，它们位于唤醒信号的覆盖范围内，但不属于休眠信号的覆盖范围，因而仅可使用唤醒信号，不可使用休眠信号；第三类为衰减值大于第二信号衰减值的终端设备，这类终端设备在三类终端设备中覆盖情况最差，它们既不属于休眠信号的覆盖范围，也不属于唤醒信号的覆盖范围，因而不可使用休眠信号和唤醒信号。
可选地，第二覆盖指示信息还可为第二功率，该第二功率用来从RSRP的维度来评估 终端设备覆盖情况的好坏，RSRP值越大的终端设备，其对网络设备发送的信号的接收强度越大，相应地覆盖情况也越好。因此，依据该第二功率，网络设备可将RSRP大于第二功率的终端设备设置为，位于唤醒信号的覆盖范围内，而对于RSRP小于等于第二功率的终端设备，则认为其覆盖情况太差，被排除在唤醒信号的覆盖范围外，而不可使用唤醒信号。
需要说明的是，本领域技术人员可根据对系统性能的实际需求来具体设置第二功率的大小，本申请对此不作具体限制。
通过在第二覆盖信息中给出第二功率，也可使得网络设备发送的唤醒信号仅适用于覆盖情况较好的终端设备，从而避免为了满足覆盖情况较差的终端设备对唤醒信号的检测性能需求，增大寻呼指示信号的信号长度，而导致网络设备发送唤醒信号的资源开销过大，影响其他终端设备调度的技术问题。
若网络设备为休眠信号和唤醒信号都指示了各自适用的覆盖范围，可选地，网络设备为休眠信号设置的覆盖范围可与为唤醒信号设置的覆盖范围不同，即若第一覆盖指示信息和第二覆盖指示信息中均为功率值，那么第一功率与第二功率的数值不相等。
进一步地，网络设备可将第一功率设置为大于第二功率。如此，依据设置的第一功率和第二功率，网络设备根据终端设备的覆盖情况将终端设备大致分为三大类，其中，第一类为RSRP大于第一功率的终端设备，这类终端设备覆盖情况最好，它们既位于休眠信号的覆盖范围内，也位于唤醒信号的覆盖范围内，可同时使用休眠信号和唤醒信号；第二类为RSRP小于等于第一功率但大于第二功率的终端设备，这类终端设备覆盖情况次好或一般，它们位于唤醒信号的覆盖范围内，但不属于休眠信号的覆盖范围，因而仅可使用唤醒信号，不可使用休眠信号；第三类为RSRP小于第二功率的终端设备，这类终端设备覆盖情况最差，它们既不属于休眠信号的覆盖范围，也不属于唤醒信号的覆盖范围，因而不可使用休眠信号和唤醒信号。
可见，若第一功率大于第二功率，那么相比休眠信号，唤醒信号的覆盖范围更大些，唤醒信号可覆盖具有更小RSRP的终端设备。可以存在一些覆盖情况较差的终端设备不属于休眠信号的覆盖范围，不可使用休眠信号，但由于这些终端设备的RSRP仍大于第二功率，而处于唤醒信号的覆盖范围内，所以可以使用唤醒信号。
可选地，第二覆盖指示信息还可为第二重复次数，该第二重复次数用来终端正确接收到网络设备发送的NPDCCH时的重复接收次数的维度来评估终端设备覆盖情况的好坏。重复接收次数越小的终端设备，覆盖情况就越好，反之，重复接收次数越大的终端设备，覆盖情况就越差。因此，依据该第二重复次数，网络设备可将正确接收到网络设备发送的NPDCCH的重复接收次数小于第二重复接收次数的终端设备设置为，位于唤醒信号的覆盖范围内，而对于重复接收次数大于等于第二重复接收次数的终端设备，则认为其覆盖情况太差，被排除在唤醒信号的覆盖范围外，而不可使用唤醒信号。
需要说明的是，本领域技术人员可根据对系统性能的实际需求来具体设置第二重复次数的大小，本申请对此不作具体限制。
通过在第二覆盖信息中给出第二重复次数，也可使得网络设备发送的唤醒信号仅适用于覆盖情况较好的终端设备，从而避免为了满足覆盖情况较差的终端设备对唤醒信号的检测性能需求，增大寻呼指示信号的信号长度，而导致网络设备发送唤醒信号的资源开销过大，影响其他终端设备调度的技术问题。
本申请实施例中，若网络设备为休眠信号和唤醒信号都指示了各自适用的覆盖范围，但覆盖范围不同，且第一覆盖指示信息和第二覆盖指示信息均为重复次数，那么第一重复次数与第二重复次数不同。进一步地，网络设备可将第一重复次数设置为小于第二重复次数。如此，依据设置的第一重复次数和第二重复次数，网络设备根据终端设备的覆盖情况将终端设备大致分为三大类，其中，第一类为NPDCCH的重复接收次数小于第一重复次数的终端设备，这类终端设备在三类终端设备中覆盖情况最好，它们既位于休眠信号的覆盖范围内，也位于唤醒信号的覆盖范围内，可同时使用休眠信号和唤醒信号；第二类为NPDCCH的重复接收次数大于等于第一重复次数但小于第二重复次数的终端设备，这类终端设备在三类终端设备中覆盖情况次好或一般，它们位于唤醒信号的覆盖范围内，但不属于休眠信号的覆盖范围，因而仅可使用唤醒信号，不可使用休眠信号；第三类为NPDCCH的重复接收次数大于第二重复次数的终端设备，这类终端设备在三类终端设备中覆盖情况最差，它们既不属于休眠信号的覆盖范围，也不属于唤醒信号的覆盖范围，因而不可使用休眠信号和唤醒信号。
可见，若第一功率大于第二功率，那么相比休眠信号，利用第二重复次数指示出的唤醒信号的覆盖范围更大些，其可覆盖具有更大NPDCCH重复接收次数的终端设备。可以存在一些覆盖情况较差的终端设备不属于休眠信号的覆盖范围，不可使用休眠信号，但由于这些终端设备的NPDCCH的重复接收次数仍小于第二重复次数，而处于唤醒信号的覆盖范围内，所以可以使用唤醒信号。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中，终端设备可使用休眠信号是指终端设备可正常检测休眠信号，并根据休眠信号的指示，在下一寻呼机会期间进入休眠态，而终端设备不可使用休眠信号是指终端设备不检测休眠信号，或者检测到休眠信号后，不按照休眠信号的指示执行相应操作。某一终端设备若位于休眠信号的覆盖范围内，则表示其可使用休眠信号，否则表示不可使用休眠信号。而终端设备是否可使用唤醒信号则与此类似。
在步骤S502的具体实施中，终端设备可接收网络设备发送的第一覆盖指示信息，根据该第一覆盖指示信息，确定休眠信号的覆盖范围；
接收网络设备发送的第二覆盖指示信息，根据该第二覆盖指示信息，确定唤醒信号的覆盖范围。
在步骤S503的具体实施中，终端可检测网络设备发送的信号，具体的可根据自身是否位于休眠信号的覆盖范围内，检测休眠信号；根据自身是否位于唤醒信号的覆盖范围内，检测唤醒信号。
可选地，第一覆盖指示信息为第一信号衰减值，那么终端检测网络设备发送的信号，若确定终端设备接收来自网络设备的信号的衰减值大于第一信号衰减值，终端设备可确定自身位于休眠信号的覆盖范围以外，则忽略所述休眠信号，否则，基于在步骤S304中确定的第一检测窗口长度，检测休眠信号。
图6为本示例中终端设备检测网络设备发送的信号的示意图，如图6所示，以覆盖等级为144dB/154dB的终端设备位于休眠信号的覆盖范围内，而覆盖等级为164dB的终端设备位于休眠信号的覆盖范围外为例。
144dB/154dB终端设备在唤醒信号/休眠信号位置处，按照唤醒信号/休眠信号假设，检测寻呼指示信号，即基于第一检测窗口长度检测休眠信号，基于第二检测窗口长度检测唤醒信号。164dB的终端设备在唤醒信号/休眠信号位置处，则按照唤醒信号/非连续发送假设 检测寻呼指示信号，即仅基于第二检测窗口长度检测唤醒信号，忽略休眠信号。
144dB/154dB/164dB的终端设备在唤醒信号/非连续发送位置处照常按照唤醒信号/非连续发送假设检测寻呼指示信号。
可选地，若第一覆盖指示信息为第一功率，那么在后续步骤S503中，终端检测网络设备发送的信号，若确定终端设备的参考信号接收功率RSRP小于所述第一功率，终端设备可确定自身位于休眠信号的覆盖范围以外，则在唤醒信号/休眠信号位置处，忽略所述休眠信号，否则，基于在步骤S304中确定的第一检测窗口长度，检测休眠信号。
可选地，若第一覆盖指示信息为第一重复次数，那么在后续步骤S503中，终端检测网络设备发送的信号，若确定终端设备正确接收到NPDCCH的重复接收次数大于第一重复次数，终端设备可确定自身位于休眠信号的覆盖范围以外，则在唤醒信号/休眠信号位置处，忽略所述休眠信号，否则，基于在步骤S304中确定的第一检测窗口长度，检测休眠信号。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中，所述终端设备忽略所述休眠信号可以为，终端设备在确定自身位于休眠信号的覆盖范围外时，不检测休眠信号，或将检测到的休眠信号丢弃，或者检测到休眠信号后不按照休眠信号的指示执行设定操作。
在一种可能的设计中，第二覆盖指示信息为第二信号衰减值，那么终端检测网络设备发送的信号，若确定终端设备接收来自网络设备的信号的衰减值大于第二信号衰减值，终端设备可确定自身位于唤醒信号的覆盖范围以外，则忽略所述唤醒信号，否则，基于在步骤S304中确定的第二检测窗口长度，检测唤醒信号。
可选地，若第一覆盖指示信息为第二功率，那么终端检测网络设备发送的信号，若确定终端设备的参考信号接收功率RSRP小于所述第二功率，终端设备可确定自身位于唤醒信号的覆盖范围以外，则忽略所述唤醒信号，否则，基于在步骤S304中确定的第二检测窗口长度，检测唤醒信号。
可选地，若第一覆盖指示信息为第二重复次数，那么终端检测网络设备发送的信号，若确定终端设备正确接收到NPDCCH的重复接收次数大于第二重复次数，终端设备可确定自身位于唤醒信号的覆盖范围以外，则忽略所述唤醒信号，否则，基于在步骤S304中确定的第二检测窗口长度，检测唤醒信号。
基于上述三种可能的实现方式，终端设备若确定自身位于唤醒信号的覆盖范围内，则检测唤醒信号。若终端设备成功检测到了唤醒信号，则确认自身需要在后续的寻呼机会期间醒来，监听NPDCCH。若终端设备在寻呼机会期间监听到了NPDCCH，则需进一步判断网络设备是否寻呼了自己，若终端设备确认自己被寻呼，则进入连接态，准备与网络设备进行业务数据的交互，否则，则继续处于休眠态。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中，所述终端设备忽略所述唤醒信号可以为，终端设备在确定自身位于唤醒信号的覆盖范围外时，不检测唤醒信号，或将检测到的唤醒信号丢弃，或者检测到唤醒信号后不按照唤醒信号的指示执行设定操作，如在后续的寻呼机会期间不监听NPDCCH。
此外，本申请实施例中，网络设备可通过发送广播信令的方式发送上述第一覆盖指示信息和/或第二覆盖指示信息。若网络设备既发送第一覆盖指示信息，也发送第二覆盖指示信息，那么网络设备通过同一条广播信令发送第一覆盖指示信息和第二覆盖指示信息，也可通过不同的广播信令分别发送第一覆盖指示信息和第二覆盖指示信息，本申请对此不作 具体限制。
本申请实施例还对网络设备发送第一指示信息、第二指示信息，以及发送第一覆盖指示信息、第二覆盖指示信息的顺序不做具体限制，只要确保终端设备在步骤S503之前，收到网络设备发送的第一指示信息、第二指示信息、第一覆盖指示信息、第二覆盖指示信息即可。
进一步地，本申请实施例中，网络设备还可通过广播或发送专用信令的方式来激活休眠信号对终端设备的覆盖情况的限制，使休眠信号仅适用于位于其覆盖范围内的终端设备。
具体的，网络设备可发送第一激活指示信息，该第一激活指示信息用于指示终端设备是否根据第一覆盖指示信息，确定终端设备是否位于第一覆盖指示信息所指示的休眠信号的覆盖范围内。
也就是说，网络设备可通过广播或发送专用信令的方式，来触发终端设备是否根据第一覆盖指示信息，确定自身是否位于所述第一覆盖指示信息所指示的休眠信号的覆盖范围内这件事。尽管网络设备已经通过第一覆盖指示信息，为休眠信号设定了覆盖范围，但在网络设备发送第一激活指示信息前，网络设备仍未启用为休眠信号设定的覆盖范围。此时，不论终端设备的覆盖情况如何，接入小区的所有终端设备均可使用网络设备发送的休眠信号。一旦网络设备发送第一激活指示信息后，则表示网络设备启用了为休眠信号设定的覆盖范围，网络设备根据接入小区的各终端设备的覆盖情况，而将休眠信号的适用性限制在位于休眠信号的覆盖范围内的终端设备，相应地，终端设备可根据自身是否位于休眠信号的覆盖范围内，来检测休眠信号，从而可降低网络设备发送休眠信号的资源开销，避免发送休眠信号的资源开销过大对系统的负面影响。
类似的，网络设备还可通过广播或发送专用信令的方式来激活唤醒信号对终端设备的覆盖情况的限制，使唤醒信号仅适用于位于其覆盖范围内的终端设备。
在一种可能的设计中，网络设备可发送第二激活指示信息，该第二激活指示信息用于指示终端设备是否根据第二覆盖指示信息，确定终端设备是否位于第二覆盖指示信息所指示的唤醒信号的覆盖范围内。
也就是说，网络设备还可通过广播或发送专用信令的方式，来触发终端设备是否根据第二覆盖指示信息确定自身是否位于所述第二覆盖指示信息所指示的唤醒信号的覆盖范围内这件事。与网络设备发送第一激活指示信息的原理类似，尽管网络设备已经为唤醒信号设定了覆盖范围，但在网络设备发送第二激活指示信息前，网络设备仍未启用为唤醒信号设定的覆盖范围。此时，不论终端设备的覆盖情况如何，接入小区的所有终端设备均可使用网络设备发送的唤醒信号。一旦网络设备发送第二激活指示信息后，则表示网络设备启用了为唤醒信号设定的覆盖范围，网络设备根据接入小区的各终端设备的覆盖情况，而将唤醒信号的适用性限制在位于唤醒信号的覆盖范围内的终端设备，相应地，终端设备可根据自身是否位于唤醒信号的覆盖范围内，来检测唤醒信号，从而可降低网络设备发送唤醒信号的资源开销，避免发送唤醒信号的资源开销过大对系统的负面影响。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中，网络设备可通过系统消息来发送上述第一激活指示信息和/或第二激活指示信息，例如，第一激活指示信息可为系统消息中设定位置处的1个比特，若该位置处为1，则表示网络设备发送了该第一激活指示信息，若该位置处为0，则表示网络设备未发送该第一激活指示信息。第二激活指示信息类似，本申请对此不再赘述。
基于上面步骤S301至S304中的消息发送方法，本申请还提供该消息发送方法的另一个具体实施例。
在该具体实施例中，网络设备还可给出寻呼指示信号的最大持续时间和最小持续时间，根据该最大持续时间和最小持续时间，以使终端设备判断是否能够通过寻呼指示信号来进行小区同步。下面对该具体实施例进行详细说明。
如图7所示，为本具体实施例提供的一种信号发送方法的流程示意图。
参见图7，该方法进一步包括：
步骤S701：网络设备生成第一持续时间指示信息和第二持续时间指示信息；
步骤S702：网络设备发送第一持续时间指示信息和第二持续时间指示信息；
步骤S703：终端设备接收网络设备发送的第一持续时间指示信息和第二持续时间指示信息；
步骤S704：终端设备根据第一持续时间指示信息，确定唤醒信号的最大持续时间；根据所述第二持续时间指示信息确定唤醒信号的最小持续时间；
步骤S705：终端设备根据唤醒信号的最小持续时间和/或最大持续时间，确定是否能够通过唤醒信号进行小区同步。
在现有技术中，网络设备指示终端设备寻呼指示信号的最大信号长度和位置，以便终端设备检测信号。寻呼指示信号的实际发送长度会小于或等于配置的最大信号长度，但网络设备并不会指示寻呼指示信号的实际发送长度。因此，终端设备只能获知唤醒信号或休眠信号的最大信号长度，而不知道其实际发送长度。对于需要用唤醒信号或休眠信号做同步的终端设备，此时会存在浪费功耗的问题。例如，终端设备可能假设唤醒信号或休眠信号的实际发送长度足够用于做同步，基于该假设用唤醒信号或休眠信号做同步，但唤醒信号或休眠信号的实际发送长度可能很短、不足以用于同步，导致终端设备做了无效的尝试、浪费了功耗。
如图8所示，为了解决该问题，本申请实施例中，网络设备还可以配置并指示终端设备寻呼指示信号的最大信号发送长度和最小信号发送长度，保证寻呼指示信号的实际发送长度一定不小于配置的最小信号发送长度。
具体的，在步骤S701的具体实施中，网络设备生成的所述第一持续时间指示信息用于指示终端设备确定唤醒信号的最大持续时间，该最大持续时间可以为网络设备为唤醒信号配置的最大信号发送长度(即configured maximum duration of WUS)，网络设备发送的唤醒信号的实际信号长度始终小于等于该最大持续时间，需要说明的是，该最大持续时间可以小于等于第二检测窗口长度。
网络设备生成的所述第二持续时间指示信息用于指示终端设备确定唤醒信号的最小持续时间，所述最小持续时间可以为网络设备为唤醒信号配置的最小信号发送长度(即configured minimum duration of WUS)，网络设备发送的唤醒信号的实际信号长度始终大于等于该最小持续时间。
可选地，所述第一持续时间指示信息可为所述最大持续时间，所述第二持续时间指示信息可为所述最小持续时间。
可选地，所述第一持续时间指示信息可为所述最大持续时间，所述第二持续时间指示信息可为所述最小持续时间与所述最大持续时间的比值或差值；或者，所述第一持续时间指示信息为所述最大持续时间与最小持续时间的比值或差值，所述第二持续时间指示信息 为所述最小持续时间。
可选地，所述第一持续时间指示信息可为所述最大持续时间与设定重复次数的比值，所述第二持续时间指示信息可为所述最小持续时间与所述设定重复次数的比值，其中所述设定重复次数为寻呼机会期间所述PDCCH的最大重复次数。
可选地，所述第一持续时间指示信息为所述最大持续时间与设定重复次数的比值，所述第二持续时间指示信息为所述最小持续时间与所述最大持续时间的比值或差值；或者，所述第一持续时间指示信息为所述最大持续时间与所述最小持续时间的比值或差值，所述第二持续时间指示信息为所述最小持续时间与所述设定重复次数的比值；其中，所述设定重复次数为寻呼机会期间所述PDCCH的最大重复次数。
在步骤S702的具体实施中，网络设备可通过广播信令发送该第一持续时间指示信息和第二持续时间指示信息，网络设备可以通过同一条广播信令发送，也可以采用不同的广播信令发送，本申请对此不作具体限制。
在步骤S703至步骤S704的具体实施中，终端设备接收网络设备发送的第一持续时间指示信息和第二持续时间指示信息，可根据第一持续时间指示信息，确定唤醒信号的最大持续时间；根据所述第二持续时间指示信息确定唤醒信号的最小持续时间。
根据网络设备在第一持续时间指示信息和第二持续时间指示信息中给出的信息的不同，终端设备可采用多种方式来确定唤醒信号的最大持续时间和最小持续时间。具体可以参考本申请前文所述的第一检测窗口长度、第二检测窗口长度的确定方法，此处不再赘述。
在步骤S705的具体实施中，终端设备可根据唤醒信号的最小持续时间和/或最大持续时间，确定是否能够通过唤醒信号进行小区同步。
具体的，终端设备若确定进行小区同步所需的信号长度小于所述最小持续时间，则确定可以通过所述唤醒信号进行小区同步；或者，
终端设备若确定进行小区同步所需的信号长度大于所述最大持续时间，则确定无法通过所述唤醒信号进行小区同步。
本申请实施例中，网络设备还可生成第三持续时间指示信息和第四持续时间指示信息，其中，所述第三持续时间指示信息用于指示终端设备确定所述休眠信号的最大持续时间，所述第四持续时间指示信息用于指示所述终端设备确定所述休眠信号的最小持续时间；
所述网络设备发送所述第三持续时间指示信息和所述第四持续时间指示信息。如此，终端设备可在接收第三持续时间指示信息和第四持续时间指示信息后，获知休眠信号的最大持续时间和最小持续时间，从而可进一步判断是否可以通过休眠信号来进行小区同步，避免了现有技术中终端设备在只获知寻呼指示信号的最大信号长度，不知道寻呼指示信号的实际发送长度的场景下，尝试通过休眠信号进行小区同步，但休眠信号的实际发送长度不足以进行小区同步、浪费功耗的技术问题。
在一种可能的实现方式中，所述网络设备还可生成第一持续时间指示信息、第三持续时间指示信息和第四持续时间指示信息，并发送所述第一持续时间指示信息、第三持续时间指示信息和第四持续时间指示信息。其中，所述第一持续时间指示信息用于指示终端设备确定唤醒信号的最大持续时间，所述第三持续时间指示信息用于指示终端设备确定休眠信号的最大持续时间，所述第四持续时间指示信息用于指示所述终端设备确定所述休眠信号的最小持续时间；
可选地，所述第一持续时间指示信息为所述唤醒信号的最大持续时间；或者，所述第 一持续时间指示信息为所述唤醒信号的最大持续时间与设定重复次数的比值，所述设定重复次数为寻呼机会期间所述PDCCH的最大重复次数。
可选地，所述第三持续时间指示信息为所述休眠信号的最大持续时间，所述第四持续时间指示信息为所述休眠信号的最小持续时间。
可选地，所述第三持续时间指示信息为所述休眠信号的最大持续时间，所述第四持续时间指示信息为所述休眠信号的最小持续时间与最大持续时间的比值或差值；或者，
所述第三持续时间指示信息为所述休眠信号的最大持续时间与最小持续时间的比值或差值，所述第四持续时间指示信息为所述休眠信号的最小持续时间。
可选地，所述第三持续时间指示信息为所述休眠信号的最大持续时间与设定重复次数的比值，所述第四持续时间指示信息为所述休眠信号的最小持续时间与所述设定重复次数的比值，其中，所述设定重复次数为所述寻呼机会期间所述PDCCH的最大重复次数。
可选地，所述第三持续时间指示信息为所述休眠信号的最大持续时间与设定重复次数的比值，所述第四持续时间指示信息为所述休眠信号的最小持续时间与最大持续时间的比值或差值；或者，
所述第三持续时间指示信息为所述休眠信号的最大持续时间与最小持续时间的比值或差值，所述第四持续时间指示信息为所述休眠信号的最小持续时间与所述设定重复次数的比值；其中，所述设定重复次数为寻呼机会期间所述PDCCH的最大重复次数。
如此，终端设备在接收第一持续时间指示信息、第三持续时间指示信息和第四持续时间指示信息后，可根据确定出的唤醒信号的最大持续时间、休眠信号的最大持续时间和最小持续时间，判断是否可通过寻呼指示信号进行小区同步。原理如上，此处不再赘述。终端设备在获知寻呼指示信号的最小信号发送长度后，就能对WUS信号或GTS信号是否能用于同步有更加准确的判断：如果终端设备认为寻呼指示信号的最小信号发送长度已经足够用于做同步，那终端设备就会使用WUS信号或GTS信号做同步；相反，如果终端设备认为寻呼指示信号的最小信号发送长度不够用于同步，那终端设备可能就不会尝试使用WUS信号或GTS信号做同步，这样就避免了无效的尝试、节省了终端设备的功耗。
