Timer control method, apparatus, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a timer control method, including: when the terminal is in the activated state of discontinuous reception, when the preset communication action is interrupted, suspending the running timer of discontinuous reception; when the preset communication action continues , continue to run the timer. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the preset communication action is interrupted, the running DRX timer is suspended, and when the preset communication action continues, the DRX timer continues to run. Accordingly, it can be ensured that the timer for discontinuous reception does not continue to run during the interruption of the preset communication action, that is, it is guaranteed that the timer for discontinuous reception will not time out during the interruption of the preset communication action, thereby ensuring that when the preset communication action When the action resumes from the interruption and continues to run, the discontinuous reception timer will not time out, that is, the UE is still in the DRX active state to monitor the PDCCH, ensuring that certain communication actions for the UE can be executed smoothly.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of communications, and in particular, to a timer control method, a timer control device, electronic equipment, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background technique [0002] In order to save energy consumption of UE (User Equipment, user equipment), DRX (Discontinuous Reception, discontinuous reception) technology is proposed in related technologies, specifically to control UE to switch between DRX active state (active state) and DRX inactive state, When the UE is in the DRX active state, the UE monitors the PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel, Physical Downlink Control Channel), and when the UE is in the DRX inactive state, the UE does not monitor the PDCCH. [0003] In some cases, it is necessary to keep the UE in the DRX active state in order to ensure that the communication actions of the UE can be carried out normally. information), the UE may start a DRX timer (DRX inactivity time...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, some reasons will cause the UE to interrupt the communication action, and the timer for discontinuous reception will continue to run, so that after the communication action resumes from the interruption, the timer for discontinuous reception has timed out, causing the UE to enter the DRX inactive state, thus Do not monitor the PDCCH, which will further lead to the inability to perform certain communication actions for the UE smoothly

[0005] For example, some reasons cause the UE to interrupt the monitoring of the PDCCH. However, the discontinuous reception timer will continue to run during this period. In the activated state, the PDCCH is not monitored, and the UL grant or DL ​​Assignment for new data transmission cannot be received, so that the base station cannot smoothly schedule the UE
