In one embodiment, the system and method are configured to generate a control signal and transmit the control signal from a wireless network device to N wireless user devices. The control signal includes one of: a first type of control signal and a second type of control signal. The N is an integer that is at least 1. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method, comprising: generating, by a wireless network device, a first type control signal, wherein the first type control signal carries a first set of indication information, the first set of indication information including a bandwidth part (BWP) indicator, a carrier indicator, a time domain resource scheduling indicator, and a transmission configuration indication (TCI) indicator; generating, by the wireless network device, a second type control signal, wherein the second type control signal carries a second set of indication information, the second set of indication information including a wake-up indicator for indicating a wake-up state or a not wake-up state, wherein the second set of indication information corresponds to the bandwidth part BWP indicator and a secondary cell (SCell) operation indicator; and transmitting, by the wireless network device, the first type control signal to at least one wireless user device within an active time period; and transmitting, by the wireless network device, the second type control signal to the at least one wireless user device within an inactive time period. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the first type control signal is transmitted to a single wireless user device and the second type control signal is transmitted to a group of wireless user devices. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the first type control signal is associated with a first type of radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) and comprises a field that enables an indication;
