METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TRANSMITTING PUBLIC MESSAGE

摘要

Provided are a method and device for transmitting a public message, which relate to the technical field of communications and are invented to effectively ensure that both a low-cost MTC user equipment and a normal LTE user equipment can reliably receive a public message. The method for transmitting a public message comprises: determining a public message transmission moment corresponding to a first user equipment, the public message transmission moment corresponding to the first user equipment being some moments among cell public message transmission moments; and sending a public message at the determined public message transmission moment corresponding to the first user equipment. The bandwidth of a frequency resource used for sending the public message is not more than a data processing bandwidth supported by the first user equipment, so that both the first user equipment and a second user equipment can receive the public message at the public message transmission moment corresponding to the first user equipment; and a data processing bandwidth supported by the second user equipment is more than the data processing bandwidth supported by the first user equipment. The present invention can be used in M2M application based on an LTE network.
