## Abstract

A method for identifying a user device includes: receiving uplink messages sent at least twice by the same user device; on the basis of the uplink messages sent at least twice, determining remote radio unit (RRU) positional information of each RRU that receives an uplink message; judging whether a proportion of a number of different pieces of the RRU positional information among at least two pieces of the RRU positional information to a total number of the at least two pieces of the RRU positional information reaches a preset proportion threshold; when the ratio does not reach the preset ratio threshold, determining that the user device is a common user device; and when the ratio reaches the preset ratio threshold, determining that the user device is a fast-moving user device.

judging whether a proportion of a number of different pieces of the RRU positional information among at least two pieces of the RRU positional information to a total number of the at least two pieces of the RRU positional information reaches a preset proportion threshold;
determining the UE as a common UE in response to the proportion not reaching the preset proportion threshold; and
determining the UE as a fast-moving UE in response to the proportion reaching the preset proportion threshold.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the UE is in an idle state, and
the receiving the uplink messages transmitted at two or more different times by the same UE comprises:
receiving uplink wake-up signals transmitted at two or more different times by the same UE.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method according to claim 2, further comprising:
before receiving the uplink messages transmitted at two or more different times by the same UE, transmitting a first broadcast message to the UE for instructing the UE to transmit an uplink wake-up signal.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method according to claim 3, wherein the first broadcast message comprises at least one of a preset interval length or a preset cycle length, wherein the interval length is configured to indicate a time interval after expiration of which the UE transmits the uplink wake-up signal, and the cycle length is configured to indicate a cycle period according to which the UE transmits the uplink wake-up signal periodically.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The method according to claim 3, wherein the first broadcast message comprises a format of the uplink wake-up signal and a resource position for transmitting the uplink wake-up signal.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The method according to claim 2, further comprising:
transmitting a second broadcast message to the UE for instructing the UE to stop transmitting the uplink wake-up signal.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the UE is in an activated state, and
the receiving the uplink messages transmitted at two or more different times by the same UE comprises:
receiving uplink data transmitted at two or more different times by the same UE.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, further comprising:
in response to determining that the UE is common UE, handing over the common UE to a public Long Term Evolution (LTE) network.

### Claim 9

A base station for a high-speed-railway dedicated network, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing instructions executable by the processor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
receive uplink messages transmitted at two or more different times by a same user equipment (UE);
determine, according to the uplink messages transmitted at two or more different times, Remote Radio Unit (RRU) positional information of each RRU that receives an uplink message;
judge whether a proportion of a number of different pieces of the RRU positional information among at least two pieces of the RRU positional information to a total number of the at least two pieces of the RRU positional information reaches a preset proportion threshold;
determine the UE as a common UE in response to the proportion not reaching the preset proportion threshold; and
determine the UE as a fast-moving UE in response to the proportion reaching the preset proportion threshold.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The base station according to claim 9, wherein the UE is in an idle state, and the processor is further configured to:
receive uplink wake-up signals transmitted at two or more different times by the same UE.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

### Claim 17

(canceled)

### Claim 18

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer instructions that, when executed by a processor of a base station for a high-speed-railway dedicated network, cause the base station to perform a method for identifying user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
