Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a paging early indication method and apparatus. The paging early indication method comprises: receiving a paging early indication (PEI) sent by a base station, wherein the PEI corresponds to one or more paging occasions (POs); and determining, on the basis of the PEI, a manner in which a downlink channel in the one or more POs is monitored. According to the present disclosure, information contained in the PEI is expanded, and compared with the related art in which the PEI only indicates whether a terminal needs to monitor paging DCI in the corresponding PO, the PEI in the embodiments may further indicate a manner in which the terminal monitors a downlink channel in the corresponding PO, expanding the indication function of the PEI, and increasing the utilization efficiency of the PEI, so that the terminal can achieve more functions according to the PEI, for example, synchronization may be performed according to the manner in which the downlink channel is monitored, or software and hardware preparations may be made in advance according to the manner in which the downlink channel is monitored.
