Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a method and device for indicating a network mode. The method comprises detecting a format of a value of a Public Land Mobile Network IDentity (PLMN-ID) in a system information block; and determining, when the value of the PLMN-ID is a value indicated according to a first preset format, the indicated value as information indicating that a network mode is a Neutral Host (NH) mode, wherein the first preset format is a format different from a second preset format which is a format of the PLMN-ID in an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) connected mode. The present disclosure solves the technical problem of the increase in protocol complexity caused by different message formats since the EPC connected network mode and the NH network mode use the IDs of completely different types and numbers.
