1. An information processing method, implemented by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving, from a next generation NodeB (gNB), system information block (SIB) information comprising physical random access channel (PRACH) resource configuration information, the SIB information configured to distinguish PRACH resources configured for the UE having a reduced capability from PRACH resources configured for a UE having a non-reduced capability; and
sending, to the gNB, a reduced capability UE information corresponding to the reduced capability of the UE as compared to the UE having a non-reduced capability, the reduced capability UE information determined based on the SIB information, and
wherein the PRACH resource configuration information includes uplink BWP configuration information configured to send the reduced capability UE information using the uplink BWP configuration information, and
wherein the sending of the reduced capability UE information comprises:
sending a random access message 3 indicating the reduced capability UE information by using a reserved value of a logical channel identifier (LCID) in a MAC sub-header,
wherein the reserved value has a first value or a second value based on whether the random access message 3 is transmitted on a common control channel (CCCH) having a first size or a second size, the first value and the second value being different from values of the LCID in the MAC sub-header configured for the UE having the non-reduced capability.
