A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20240040484A1) describes an access control method applied to network-side devices and terminals. The method involves determining signaling that includes parameters related to access control for different types of terminals. These parameters are carried in different types of signaling, such as master information blocks (MIB), physical downlink control channels (PDCCH), or physical downlink shared channels (PDSCH). The signaling is designed to send specific parameters related to access control for different types of terminals through various signaling channels, ensuring efficient and secure access control mechanisms.

Furthermore, the patent details how the access control method is implemented in terminals, where signaling corresponding to the terminal type is received based on the type itself. The signaling includes parameters related to access control for different types of terminals, carried in different signaling formats. The method also involves determining cell bar information from the MIB to validate access permissions. Additionally, the patent highlights that the capability of receiving signaling may vary between different types of terminals, ensuring that access control mechanisms are tailored to the specific capabilities of each terminal type. Overall, the patent aims to enhance access control mechanisms in network-side devices and terminals by utilizing different signaling formats and parameters for efficient and secure access control processes.
