  • Publication number: 20220109965
    Abstract: This application discloses a message transmission method. User equipment may receive a power saving message from a network device, where the power saving message carries indication information of a short message, and the short message includes at least one of the following: a public warning system notification or system information modification information. Then, the user equipment obtains the short message from the power saving message. In this way, when the user equipment is in a connected state, the user equipment may obtain the short message by using the power saving message, for example, a PoSS, instead of by monitoring a paging PDCCH; and when the UE is in a sleep state, the UE is not woken up to monitor the paging PDCCH. This reduces power consumption of the user equipment in the connected state.
