[0052] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Attached Figure Description

[0064] The embodiments of this disclosure will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation details.

[0065] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with those of this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0066] It should be noted that one embodiment of this disclosure may include multiple steps; for ease of description, these steps are numbered; however, these numbers are not a limitation on the execution time slots or execution order between the steps; these steps can be implemented in any order, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0067] With a minimum time slot interval k0_min configured between the time slot for transmitting DCI and the time slot for PDSCH scheduled by the DCI, the user equipment (UE) does not need to attempt to receive PDSCH after receiving PDCCH. Instead, it can temporarily enter a sleep state until k0_min time slots have elapsed after receiving the PDCCH, at which point it will wake up. At this point, the PDCCH has been demodulated, and the UE can receive PDSCH on the corresponding time-frequency resources according to the DCI instructions. That is, the UE does not expect the k_0 of the scheduled PDSCH to be less than k0_min.

[0068] When a Band Width Part (BWP) switch occurs, the calculation method for k0_min changes accordingly. After the BWP switch, k0_min is calculated using the following formula:

[0069]

[0070] Where μ represents the parameter value corresponding to the subcarrier spacing of the BWP before the BWP handover, and μ′ represents the parameter value corresponding to the subcarrier spacing of the BWP after the BWP handover.

[0071] The two interpretations of the undetermined multi-slot PDCCH monitoring capability are as follows:

[0072] One type is a fixed-pattern multi-slot group (X / Y), where a slot group contains a fixed number of X slots. These slot groups are consecutive and non-overlapping, and Y consecutive slots out of the X slots can be used for PDCCH monitoring. The other type is a span-pattern multi-slot group span (X / Y). X is the minimum interval between two adjacent spans, measured in slots. Within a span, only Y consecutive slots / symbols can be used for PDCCH monitoring.

[0073] This disclosure provides an information transmission method, which is executed by a network device. This method can be executed independently or in conjunction with any other embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an information transmission method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0074] Step 101: In response to the network device configuring multi-slot physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) listening capability for the user equipment, downlink control information (DCI) is generated. The multi-slot PDCCH listening capability indicates that in a listening unit comprising X time slots, there are Y consecutive time slots for transmitting PDCCH. The k0 value indicated by the DCI is less than the minimum time slot interval, and the time slot indicated by the DCI for transmitting physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is included in the Y consecutive time slots.

[0075] Step 102: Send the DCI to the user equipment;

[0076] Wherein, k0 is the time slot interval between the time slot for transmitting the DCI and the time slot for transmitting the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI, the minimum time slot interval is the minimum time slot interval between the time slot for transmitting the DCI and the time slot for transmitting the PDSCH, and X and Y are both positive integers greater than 1, and X≥Y.

[0077] In one implementation, the network device configures a user equipment (UE) with multi-slot PDCCH listening capability. This capability indicates that within a listening unit comprising X time slots, there are Y consecutive time slots for transmitting PDCCH. In response to this configuration, the network device generates a Data Interchange Detection (DCI) and sends it to the UE. The DCI indicates a k0 value less than the minimum time slot interval, and the DCI indicates that the time slots for transmitting PDCCH are included in the Y consecutive time slots.

[0078] In one implementation, the network device configures a multi-slot PDCCH listening capability for a user equipment. This capability means that within a listening unit comprising X time slots, there are Y consecutive time slots for transmitting PDCCH, and N of these Y consecutive time slots are configured with a search space. In response to this configuration, the network device generates a Direct Search Interval (DCI) and sends it to the user equipment. The DCI indicates a k0 value less than the minimum time slot interval, and the DCI indicates that the time slots for transmitting PDCCH are included in the N time slots. The minimum time slot interval is determined based on the communication protocol and / or configured via network device signaling.

[0079] In the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring scheme, the user terminal needs to remain awake during the aforementioned Y consecutive time slots to ensure PDCCH monitoring. In the above implementation, the DCI-indicated time slot for transmitting PDSCH is included within the Y consecutive time slots. Thus, when the scheduled PDSCH is within these Y consecutive time slots, the user equipment can receive PDSCH simultaneously with receiving PDCCH. Therefore, power saving can be achieved in the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring scheme.

The DCI indicates a k0 value less than the minimum time slot interval, and the DCI indicates that the time slots for transmitting PDCCH are included in the N time slots.

[0085] In one implementation, the network device configures a multi-slot PDCCH listening capability for a user equipment. This multi-slot PDCCH listening capability means that in a listening unit comprising X time slots, there are Y consecutive time slots for transmitting PDCCH, and N of these Y consecutive time slots are configured with a search space, where Y = 3 and N = 2. In response to this configuration, the network device generates a Direct Context Interpretation (DCI) and sends the DCI to the user equipment. The k0 value indicated by the DCI is less than the minimum time slot interval, and the DCI indicates that the time slot for transmitting PDCCH is included in the two time slots configured with the search space.

[0086] In the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring scheme, the user terminal needs to remain awake during the aforementioned Y consecutive time slots to ensure PDCCH monitoring. In the above implementation, the DCI-indicated time slot for transmitting PDSCH is included within the Y consecutive time slots. Thus, when the scheduled PDSCH is within these Y consecutive time slots, the user equipment can receive PDSCH simultaneously with receiving PDCCH.

This capability means that within a listening unit comprising X time slots, there are Y consecutive time slots for transmitting PDCCH, and N of these Y consecutive time slots are configured with a search space. In response to this configuration, the network device generates a Direct Search Interval (DCI) and sends it to the UE. The DCI indicates a k0 value less than the minimum time slot interval, and the DCI indicates that the time slot for transmitting PDSCH is included in the N time slots. The network device transmits the PDSCH in the time slot indicated in the DCI.

[0119] In one implementation, the network device configures a user equipment (UE) with multi-slot PDCCH listening capability. This multi-slot PDCCH listening capability means that within a listening unit comprising X time slots, there are Y consecutive time slots for transmitting PDCCH.
