EFFECTIVE TIME DETERMINATION METHOD AND APPARATUS

Abstract

Disclosed in embodiments of the present application are an effective time determination method and apparatus. The method comprises: receiving system information by means of at least one system information window within a predefined time domain range (201); and determining an effective time of first information according to signaling carried in the system information (202). In this way, a terminal device can also merge and receive the system information in different system information windows while determining the effective time of the first information, such that the information transmission efficiency and the information receiving accuracy are effectively improved, the transmission robustness of a communication system is improved, and when the system information is updated, it can also be ensured that a network device and the terminal device achieve consistent understanding of the effective time of the updated system information.
