[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] The terms "first", "second", etc. in this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the terms used in this way are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first" and "second" are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited, for example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "or" in this application represents at least one of the connected objects. For example, "A or B" covers three schemes, namely, Scheme 1: including A but not including B; Scheme 2: including B but not including A; Scheme 3: including both A and B. The character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0038] The term "indication" in this application can be a direct indication (or explicit indication) or an indirect indication (or implicit indication). A direct indication can be understood as the sender explicitly informing the receiver of specific information, operations to be performed, or request results in the sent indication; an indirect indication can be understood as the receiver determining the corresponding information according to the indication sent by the sender, or making a judgment and determining the operation to be performed or the request result according to the judgment result.

[0039] It is worth noting that the technology described in the embodiments of the present application is not limited to the Long Term Evolution (LTE) / LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) system, but can also be used in other wireless communication systems, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single-carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) or other systems. The terms "system" and "network" in this application are often used interchangeably, and the described technology can be used for the systems and radio technologies mentioned above as well as for other systems and radio technologies. The following description describes a New Radio (NR) system for example purposes, and NR terminology is used in most of the following descriptions, but these technologies can also be applied to systems other than NR system applications, such as the 6th generation (6 th Generation, 6G) communication system.

[0040] In order to facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the following technical points are first introduced:

[0041] 1. About Discontinuous Reception (DRX) in connected state.

[0042] In the connected state, the purpose of DRX is to save power. Terminals in the DRX state do not need to connect to monitor the control channel. However, if the terminal does not monitor the control channel for a long time, once data arrives, the data transmission delay will increase. In order to balance power saving and transmission delay, the fifth generation mobile communication technology (5th Generation, 5G) Media Access Control (MAC) supports two DRX cycles, long DRX-Cycle and short DRX-Cycle, according to the length of time the terminal monitors the channel. Figure 1As shown. If the terminal data volume is predicted to be relatively frequent or the service is sensitive to latency, the network can configure the terminal to use a short DRX cycle; if the terminal data volume is predicted to be relatively sparse and latency is not sensitive, the network can configure the terminal to use only a long DRX cycle. In order to facilitate the terminal to switch between a long DRX cycle and a short DRX cycle, the long DRX cycle is required to be an integer multiple of the short DRX cycle, so as to ensure that the continuous monitoring time (onDuration) of the two is aligned.

[0043] To support the DRX mechanism, the base station configures DRX-related timers and parameters for the terminal, including:

[0044] (1) Discontinuous reception short cycle (drx-ShortCycle): used to configure a short DRX cycle, the unit of the cycle is milliseconds;

[0045] (2) Discontinuous reception slot offset (drx-SlotOffset): The delay of the terminal starting the discontinuous reception duration timer (drx-onDurationTimer). This parameter is used to set the offset of the start time of DRX onDuration relative to the start point of the subframe. The offset is an integer multiple of 1 / 32 milliseconds.

[0046] (3) Discontinuous reception short cycle timer (drx-ShortCycleTimer): used to control the duration of the terminal using the short DRX cycle. The unit is an integer, that is, the timer length is an integer multiple of the short cycle. The long cycle is entered after a certain number of short cycles without receiving the PDCCH. It is started when the drx-InactivityTimer times out and a short cycle is configured.

[0047] (4) drx-onDurationTimer: DRX continuous monitoring timer. During the operation of this timer, the terminal needs to continuously monitor the PDCCH control channel of the network. That is, the duration of the terminal (e.g., user equipment) UE monitoring PDCCH in a DRX cycle. Once started, it is not allowed to be restarted.

[0048] (5) Discontinuous reception inactivity timer (drx-InactivityTimer): The duration of monitoring the PDCCH after receiving a PDCCH indicating a new transmission. The timer is started or restarted at the first symbol after the reception of the PDCCH indicating a new transmission (UL or DL). The timer is stopped when a discontinuous reception command media access control layer control element (DRX command MAC CE) is received.

[0049] (6)DRX Command MAC CE or Long DRX Command MAC CE: Both can stop drx-InactivityTimer and drx-onDurationTimer to make the UE leave the active time. Long DRX Command MAC CE can be used to stop drx-ShortCycleTimer and enter Long DRX. For DRX Command MAC CE, if short cycle DRX is configured, start or restart drx-ShortCycleTimer and enter short cycle DRX, otherwise enter long cycle DRX.

[0050] (7) Discontinuous Reception Downlink Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Round Trip Timer (drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerDL) or Discontinuous Reception Uplink Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Round Trip Timer (drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerUL): This timer is a per HARQ process parameter, indicating the minimum time interval for waiting for retransmission. The timer is started at the first symbol after the Acknowledgement (ACK) or Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) is sent. During the timer, the corresponding MAC does not monitor the PDCCH. When the timer times out, the drx-RetransmissionTimerDL or drx-RetransmissionTimerUL of the corresponding HARQ process is started.

[0051] (8) Discontinuous Reception Downlink Retransmission Timer (drx-RetransmissionTimerDL): This timer is a perHARQProcess parameter and indicates the maximum number of PDCCH slots that the UE needs to continuously monitor in order to receive the expected downlink retransmission data. This timer starts at the first symbol after the data of the corresponding HARQ process is not successfully decoded and the drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerDL times out. This timer is stopped when a PDCCH indicating a downlink retransmission is received.

[0052] (9) Discontinuous Reception Uplink Retransmission Timer (drx-RetransmissionTimerUL): This timer is a perHARQProcess parameter and indicates the maximum number of PDCCH slots that the UE monitors to receive an uplink retransmission grant. This timer starts at the first symbol after the drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerUL times out. This timer stops when an uplink retransmission grant is received.

[0053] 2. About Multiple DRX.

[0054] Extended Reality (XR) services include video data, audio data, and some control signaling and special data with control functions. Therefore, service flows with different periods may run in parallel. When there are multiple staggered and parallel service flows, each service cell is configured with only one DRX configuration, which cannot match the traffic characteristics of all service flows, which may result in lower energy-saving gains or long scheduling delays. Introducing multiple DRX configurations in the same service cell can solve this problem. However, multiple DRX configurations mean that the UE needs to monitor the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) within the active time of each DRX configuration, which may result in power consumption waste when the service volume is small.

[0148] In one implementation of the present application, after the network side device sends the configuration information, the method further includes:

[0149] The network side device sends second indication information, where the second indication information is used to activate at least one DRX configuration among the multiple DRX configurations.

[0150] In one implementation of the present application, the second indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0151] (1) third information, where the third information is used to indicate activation of DRX configuration;

[0152] (2) DRX configuration identifier;

[0153] For example, the terminal may activate the corresponding DRX configuration according to the third information and the identifier of the DRX configuration.

[0154] (3) Identification of the DRX configuration group.

[0155] For example, the terminal may activate all DRX configurations in the corresponding DRX configuration group according to the third information and the identifier of the DRX configuration group.

[0156] In one implementation manner of the present application, the first indication information or the second indication information may be carried by at least one of the following: RRC signaling, MAC CE, and DCI.

[0157] In an embodiment of the present application, the network side device can send a first indication message to the terminal, notifying the terminal to deactivate at least one DRX configuration among multiple non-continuous reception DRX configurations. After deactivation, the terminal does not need to perform PDCCH detection within the activation time of the deactivated DRX configuration, thereby effectively reducing the power consumption of the terminal.

[0158] The implementation methods of the present application are introduced below in conjunction with Examples 1 to 4.

[0159] Embodiment 1: If no PDCCH is received during the operation of the first timer, the DRX configuration is deactivated.

[0160] Step 0: The UE receives the configuration information of the network, including two DRX configurations, namely DRX1 and DRX2, and is associated with the serving cell #1, where DRX1 is configured as the default DRX configuration and DRX2 is the non-default DRX configuration. DRX2 is associated with the first timer, and the value of the first timer is 3, that is, the PDCCH is not received for three consecutive drx-LongCycles, and the first timer times out.

[0161] Step 1: Figure 5 shown.

[0162] -T1: The UE does not receive the PDCCH during the on duration of DRX2. The UE starts the first timer in the first symbol after the on duration ends, and the initial value of the first timer is set to 1;

[0163] -T2: If the UE does not receive a PDCCH during the on duration of DRX2, the first timer is incremented by 1 and the value is set to 2;

[0164] -T3: The UE does not receive PDCCH during the on duration of DRX2, and the first timer is incremented by 1 and the value is set to 3;

[0165] Step 2: When the first timer times out, the UE deactivates DRX2, that is, at or after T4, and before receiving an activation indication from DRX2, the drx-onDurationTimer of DRX2 and other timers configured for DRX are no longer started.

[0166] Step 3: At time T5, the UE receives an activation indication of DRX2, which may be sent via RRC, MAC CE or DCI. The UE activates DRX2, and at and after time T6, continues to periodically start the drx-onDurationTimer of DRX2.

[0167] Alternatively, after the T1 timer is started at time T1, the initial value of the first timer is set to 0, that is, the first timer associated with DRX2 will time out only if no PDCCH is received for 4 consecutive ondurations.

[0168] Alternatively, after the T1 timer is started at time T1, the initial value of the first timer is set to 0, that is, the first timer associated with DRX2 will time out only if no PDCCH is received for 4 consecutive ondurations.

[0169] Embodiment 2: when the first timer is running and no PDCCH associated with the DRX configuration is received, the DRX configuration is deactivated.

[0170] Step 0: The UE receives the configuration information of the network, including two DRX configurations, namely DRX1 and DRX2, and is associated with Serving Cell#1 at the same time. Each DRX configuration is associated with a DRX configuration identifier (Identity, ID). DRX1 is configured as the default DRX configuration, DRX2 is a non-default DRX configuration, and DRX2 is associated with the first timer. The value of the first timer is 3, that is, the PDCCH associated with DRX2 is not received for three consecutive drx-LongCycles, and the first timer times out.

[0171] Step 1: Figure 6 shown.

[0172] -T1: The UE does not receive the PDCCH associated with DRX2 during the on duration of DRX2. The UE starts the first timer in the first symbol after the onduration ends, and the initial value of the first timer is set to 1;

[0173] -T2: If the UE does not receive the PDCCH associated with DRX2 during the on duration of DRX2, the first timer is incremented by 1 and the value is set to 2;

[0174] -T3: During the on duration of DRX2, the UE does not receive the PDCCH associated with DRX2, but receives the PDCCH associated with DRX1. The first timer is still incremented by 1 and the value is set to 3;

[0175] Step 2: When the first timer times out, the UE deactivates DRX2, that is, at or after T4, and before receiving an activation indication from DRX2, the drx-onDurationTimer of DRX2 and other timers configured for DRX are no longer started.

[0176] Step 3: At time T5, the UE receives an activation indication of DRX2, which may be sent via RRC, MAC CE or DCI. The UE activates DRX2, and at and after time T6, continues to periodically start the drx-onDurationTimer of DRX2.

[0177] Alternatively, after the T1 timer is started at time T1, the initial value of the first timer is set to 0, that is, the first timer associated with DRX2 will time out only if no PDCCH is received for 4 consecutive ondurations.

[0178] Alternatively, after the T1 timer is started at time T1, the initial value of the first timer is set to 0, that is, the first timer associated with DRX2 will time out only if no PDCCH is received for 4 consecutive ondurations.

[0179] Embodiment 3: If no PDCCH associated with the DRX configuration is received during the running of the second timer, the DRX configuration is deactivated.

[0180] Step 0: The UE receives the configuration information sent by the network side device, which includes two DRX configurations, namely DRX1 and DRX2, and is associated with Serving Cell#1 at the same time. Each DRX configuration is associated with a DRX configuration identifier, where DRX1 is configured as the default DRX configuration and DRX2 is the non-default DRX configuration. DRX2 is associated with the second timer and the first duration. The value of the second timer can be 2. For example, if PDCCH is not received for 2 consecutive drx-LongCycles, the second timer times out. The value of the first duration can be 3. For example, if PDCCH is not received for 3 consecutive drx-LongCycles, the second timer is started.

[0181] Step 1: See Figure 7 .

[0182] -T1, T2, T3: The UE does not receive the PDCCH during the on duration of three consecutive DRX cycles of DRX2, that is, the first duration is reached. The UE starts the second timer at the first symbol after the on duration of the third DRX cycle ends, and the initial value of the first timer is set to 0;

[0183] -T4: The UE does not receive the PDCCH during the on duration of DRX2, and the second timer is incremented by 1 and the value is set to 1;

[0184] -T5: The UE does not receive PDCCH during the on duration of DRX2, and the second timer is incremented by 1 and the value is set to 2;

[0185] Step 2: When the second timer times out, the UE deactivates DRX2, that is, at or after time T6, and before receiving an activation indication from DRX2, the UE no longer starts the drx-onDurationTimer and other DRX timers of DRX2.

[0186] Step 3: At time T7, the UE receives an activation indication of DRX2, which may be sent via RRC, MAC CE or DCI. The UE activates DRX2 and continues to periodically start the drx-onDurationTimer of DRX2 at and after time T7.

[0187] Embodiment 4: If the PDCCH associated with the DRX configuration is not received during the operation of the second timer, the DRX configuration is deactivated. Step 0: The UE receives configuration information sent by the network side device, which includes two DRX configurations, namely DRX1 and DRX2, and is associated with Serving Cell#1 at the same time, wherein DRX1 is configured as the default DRX configuration and DRX2 is a non-default DRX configuration. DRX2 is associated with the second timer and the first duration. The value of the second timer is 2. For example, if the PDCCH associated with DRX2 is not received for 2 consecutive drx-LongCycles, the second timer times out. The value of the first duration is 3. For example, if the PDCCH associated with DRX2 is not received for 3 consecutive drx-LongCycles, the second timer is started.

[0188] Step 1: See Figure 8 .

[0189] -T1, T2, T3: The UE does not receive the PDCCH associated with DRX2 during the on duration of three consecutive DRX cycles of DRX2, that is, the first duration is reached. The UE starts the second timer at the first symbol after the on duration of the third DRX cycle ends, and the initial value of the first timer is set to 0;

[0190] -T4: The UE does not receive the PDCCH associated with DRX2 during the on duration of DRX2, and the second timer is incremented by 1 and the value is set to 1;

[0191] -T5: The UE does not receive the PDCCH associated with DRX2 during the on duration of DRX2, and the second timer is incremented by 1 and the value is set to 2;

[0192] Step 2: When the second timer times out, the UE deactivates DRX2, that is, at or after time T6, and before receiving an activation indication from DRX2, the UE no longer starts the drx-onDurationTimer and other DRX timers of DRX2.

[0193] Step 3: At time T7, the UE receives an activation indication of DRX2, which may be sent via RRC, MAC CE or DCI. The UE activates DRX2 and continues to periodically start the drx-onDurationTimer of DRX2 at and after time T7.
