According to the embodiment of the invention, the UE of different WUS groups can select the corresponding WUS group according to the WUS grouping formula, and determine the detection and the receiving of the WUS signal according to the parameter configuration information of the corresponding WUS group. If the group of terminal UE does not need to be paged, the base station does not send the WUS signal, and after the group of terminal UE detects the WUS, the group of terminal UE directly enters a sleep state without monitoring the next paging occasion because the group of terminal UE does not detect the WUS.

In the embodiment of the invention, the parameters of the WUS groups can be configured in the following modes:

method one, distinguishing WUS packets in a "time division" manner (configuring 1 time offset value offset or 1 gap value gap and X duration durations between WUS and PO);
