During the DRX-off duration, the UE is not expected to monitor the PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) but is allowed to start uplink (UL) transmissions using configured resources (e.g., PUCCH or RACH (Random Access Channel), or CG-PUSCH (Configured Granted Physical Uplink Shared Channel)).

[0075] Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to cell DTX / DRX adaptation, which aims to provide the necessary signaling mechanism that allows a cell to remain inactive. Cell DTX / DRX may be configured by UE-specific RRC signaling. Some embodiments of the present disclosure may solve one or more of the following problems:

[0076] Challenge 1: How to ensure longer gNB sleep periods when DTX / DRX operation is configured? Challenge 2: How to trigger cell DTX / DRX enable / disable? Challenge 3: How to reduce the possibility of network congestion if data transmissions of all UEs camped on a cell are scheduled for the same DRX on duration? Problem 4: For one or more UEs that do not support cell DTX / DRX, how to access a cell that has cell DTX / DRX? In some embodiments, cell DTX / DRX adaptation can provide a signaling mechanism that allows a cell to remain inactive. This includes, for example, extending the UE DRX configuration to align or omit the DRX cycle or DRX start offset for UEs in connected mode or idle / inactive mode, potentially allowing longer opportunities for the cell to be inactive. During cell DTX / DRX, the cell may have no transmission / reception or may only have limited transmission / reception. For example, the cell does not need to transmit or receive some periodic signals / channels, such as common channels / signals or UE-specific signals / channels.

[0077] In some embodiments, the cell DTX / DRX on duration is the duration that the cell DTX / DRX on duration timer is running.

[0078] In some embodiments, the cell DTX / DRX may indicate at least one of the cell DTX and / or cell DRX and / or alignment of the cell DTX / DRX with the UE DRX.

[0079] In some embodiments, alignment of cell DTX / DRX and UE DRX means that the UE DRX on duration / active time falls within a certain duration and / or the gap between the start positions of the UE DRX on duration / active time / cycle of two UEs is less than or equal to a threshold value in the cell. In some embodiments, the threshold is an offset configured by RRC signaling or L1 signaling and / or a predetermined value. The threshold is less than or equal to the value of a cell DTX / DRX parameter. In some embodiments, the cell DTX / DRX parameter includes at least one of cell DTX / DRX indication information. For example, the threshold is less than or equal to the value of the cell DTX / DRX on duration or the DTX / DRX on duration timer, and the start position of the UE DRX on duration is dropped to the cell DTX / DRX on duration configured or indicated by RRC signaling and / or L1 signaling. Figure 3 shows an example of alignment of cell DTX / DRX and UE DRX, where the UE DRX on duration falls within the cell DTX on duration.

[0080] In some embodiments, if the UE is configured with UE DRX and cell DTX / DRX, the UE starts the UE DRX cycle / on duration timer after a UE DRX slot offset from the beginning of the subframe. In some embodiments, the subframe, SFN, or UE DRX slot offset is determined by one or more parameters. In some embodiments, the one or more parameters include at least one of a UE ID, a UE DRX slot offset, a UE DRX start offset, a UE DRX short cycle, a UE DRX long cycle, a SFN, a UE DRX on duration timer, a cell DTX / DRX start offset, a cell DTX / DRX slot offset, a cell DTX / DRX cycle, a cell DTX / DRX on duration, or an offset. In some embodiments, at least one of the one or more parameters is configured by RRC signaling or L1 signaling.

[0081] In some embodiments, the subframe satisfies a function of at least one of the parameters. In some embodiments, the one or more parameters include at least one of a UE ID, a UE DRX slot offset, a UE DRX start offset, a UE DRX short cycle, a UE DRX long cycle, a SFN, a UE DRX on duration timer, a cell DTX / DRX start offset, a cell DTX / DRX slot offset, a cell DTX / DRX cycle, a cell DTX / DRX on duration, or an offset. In some embodiments, the SFN is the subframe number from which at least one of the UE DRX on duration timer / cycle or the cell DTX / DRX cycle / on duration timer starts. In some embodiments, the offset is used to modify at least one of the UE DRX slot offset, the UE DRX start offset, the cell DTX / DRX start offset, or the cell DTX / DRX slot offset.

[0082] For example, the subframe for the start of the cell DTX / DRX on duration / cycle (denoted as dtx-Start) is determined by [(SFN × 10) + subframe number] modulo (cell DTX / DRX cycle) = cell DTX / DRX slot offset. The cell DTX / DRX on duration / cycle starts from the SFN. The offset for modifying the UE DRX start offset or slot offset is determined by (SFN + offset) mod T = 0, where T is the UE DRX on duration or UE DRX cycle or cell DTX / DRX on duration. In some embodiments, the new UE DRX start offset or slot offset is determined by a function of the offset and the original UE DRX start offset or slot offset. The original UE DRX start offset or slot offset is the UE DRX start offset or slot offset in the most recent UE DRX cycle or the UE DRX start offset or slot offset configured by RRC signaling. Here, the functions include addition, and / or multiplication, and / or subtraction, and / or division, and / or XOR, and / or modulo.

[0083] For example, the start slot / symbol / time of the UE DRX On duration timer / cycle during a cell DTX / DRX On duration is further determined by at least one of the UE ID, the number of cell DTX / DRX On durations (N0) within a duration (e.g., cell DTX / DRX cycle or UE DRX cycle or UE DRX On duration), the number of UE DRX On durations (N1) during the cell DTX / DRX On duration, the index (i0) of one or a group of start times of the UE DRX On duration timer within the UE DRX On duration, the index (i1) of (opportunities for) a UE DRX On duration within the cell DTX / DRX On duration, an indication of the number of availability start times of the UE DRX On duration timer (N), the index (i2) of one or a group of start times of cell DTX / DRX On durations within the UE DRX On duration, or the index (i2) of a cell DTX / DRX On duration within the cell DTX / DRX On duration. For example, the starting slot / symbol / time index of the UE DRX on duration timer / cycle = ((UEID mod N1) * N2 + i2) mod N. The UE determines a new slot offset for the UE DRX on duration timer based on the starting slot / symbol / time index of the UE DRX on duration timer / cycle. The UE starts the UE DRX on duration timer after the new slot offset from the beginning of the SFN, where SFN is the subframe number where the cell DTX / DRX on duration / cycle starts.

[0084] In some embodiments, cell DTX / DRX can be considered as at least one of cell DTX and / or cell DRX, and / or alignment of cell DTX / DRX and UE DRX for one or more base stations (BSs).

[0085] In some embodiments, the cell DTX / DRX off duration comprises at least one of a cell DTX / DRX inactive period, a cell DTX / DRX out of active time, outside cell DTX / DRX active time, outside cell DTX / DRX on duration in a cell DTX / DRX periodicity / cycle, and outside UE DRX active time.

[0248] In some embodiments, for an offset used to determine the length of the time interval between the start of a cell DTX cycle and the start of a cell DRX cycle, or the interval between the start of a cell DTX on duration and the start of a cell DRX on duration, the value of the offset is less than or equal to the length of the cell DTX on duration and / or the length of the cell DRX on duration length of the cell DTX cycle and / or the length of the cell DRX cycle.

[0251] User behavior: This section relates to UE behavior related to cell DTX / DRX, UE DRX and CSI reporting, if the UE supports the UE functionality of cell DTX / DRX.

[0252] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the UE is provided with cell DTX / DRX configuration information and / or the cell DTX / DRX configuration information between the first cell and the second cell satisfies a predetermined condition, the UE can take the following actions:

[0253] In some embodiments, the first cell is a primary cell and the second cell is a secondary cell, and / or the first cell is a secondary cell and the second cell is another secondary cell, and / or the first cell is a scheduling cell and the second cell is a scheduled cell, and / or the first cell and the second cell are the same cell, and / or the first cell is a PScell ​​and the second cell is a secondary cell, and / or the first cell is a Pcell and the second cell is a PScell.

[0254] In some embodiments, the predetermined conditions include the following: at least one of the values ​​of the cell DTX / DRX configuration information is different between the first cell and the second cell; the value of the cell DTX / DRX configuration information of the first cell is smaller than that of the second cell; the value of the cell DTX / DRX configuration information of the first cell is larger than that of the second cell; the value of the cell DTX / DRX configuration information of the first cell is equal to that of the second cell; the number of parameters related to cell DTX / DRX of the first cell is smaller than, larger than, or equal to that of the second cell; applying cell DTX / DRX activation to the first cell and applying cell DTX / DRX activation to the second cell. applying cell DTX / DRX deactivation to a first cell and applying cell DTX / DRX activation to a second cell; the first cell during the cell DTX / DRX on duration / active time and the second cell during the cell DTX / DRX off duration / out-of-active time; the first cell during the cell DTX / DRX off duration / out-of-active time and the second cell during the cell DTX / DRX on duration / active time; parameters of the cell DTX / DRX configuration information on the first cell differ from or are inconsistent with parameters of the cell DTX / DRX configuration information.

[0255] In some embodiments, the next action is at least one of: the UE not performing cell DTX / DRX operations for the second cell in accordance with the cell DTX / DRX configuration information; the UE not performing cell DTX / DRX operations for the first cell in accordance with the cell DXT / DRX configuration information; the UE not performing cell DTX / DRX operations for the first cell and the second cell in accordance with the cell DXT / DRX configuration information; the UE performing cell DTX / DRX operations for the first cell in accordance with the cell DXT / DRX configuration information of the first cell; the UE performing cell DTX / DRX operations for the second cell in accordance with the cell DXT / DRX configuration information of the first cell; or the UE performing cell DTX / DRX operations for the first cell and the second cell in accordance with the cell DXT / DRX configuration information of the first cell.

[0256] In some embodiments, when a UE is provided with different cell DTX / DRX configuration information for a PCell and an SCell, the UE may not perform cell DTX / DRX operations for the second cell according to the cell DTX / DRX configuration information.

[0257] In some embodiments, the cell DTX / DRX cycle on the first cell is equal to or greater than the cell DTX / DRX cycle on the second cell.

[0258] In some embodiments, the cell DTX / DRX on duration on the first cell is greater than or equal to the cell DTX / DRX on duration on the second cell.

[0259] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in case of carrier aggregation (CA), at least one of the following events occurs: in case of cross-carrier scheduling, the second cell is not provided by the cell DTX / DRX configuration; in case of cross-carrier scheduling, the first cell is not provided by the cell DTX / DRX configuration; detection of DCI formats 2-6, and / or Scell ​​dormant / non-dormant behavior indication, and / or UE DRX group configuration is not supported or is reserved by the first cell and / or the second cell; at least one of the parameters related to the UE DRX configuration on the first cell and / or the second cell do not match or need not be set to the same value; the start offset and / or cycle and / or on-duration of the cell DTX / DRX configuration on the first cell is greater than or equal to the start offset and / or cycle and / or on-duration of the cell DTX / DRX configuration on the second cell.

[0260] In some embodiments, the first cell is a primary cell and the second cell is a secondary cell, and / or the first cell is a secondary cell and the second cell is another secondary cell, and / or the first cell is a scheduling cell and the second cell is a scheduled cell, and / or the first cell and the second cell are the same cell, and / or the first cell is a PScell ​​and the second cell is a secondary cell, and / or the first cell is a Pcell and the second cell is a PScell.

[0261] In some embodiments, for a UE configured with CA, the UE DRX configuration information and / or cell DTX / DRX configuration information of the first cell and the second cell may be the same.

[0262] In some embodiments, for a UE configured with CA, both DCI formats 2-6 and cell DTX / DRX configuration information may not be configured.

[0263] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when a UE detects a DCI scheduling data in a first cell that may be transmitted during a cell DTX / DRX off duration on a second cell, the UE may perform at least one of the following actions: the UE receives or transmits data according to the scheduling information; the UE receives or transmits data during a cell DTX / DRX on duration and / or active time in the next cell DTX / DRX cycle according to the scheduling information; the UE assumes that the data scheduling information is invalid; the data scheduling information is ignored or not expected by the UE; and / or the UE sends a request for cell DTX / DRX configuration on the scheduled cell or SCell.

[0264] Considering the above, it is possible to ensure that scheduled data is transmitted / received by the UE as soon as possible.

[0265] For example, if the UE is configured to deactivate the cell DTX / DRX function in the PCell and the UE is configured with a cell DTX / DRX pattern in the SCell, when the UE detects a PDCCH in the PCell that carries cross-carrier scheduling information and the SCell is the scheduled cell, the UE ignores the cross-carrier scheduling information for data transmitted and received in the SCell.

[0266] For example, if a UE is configured with cell DTX / DRX patterns for both the PCell and SCell, and the start or end or length of the cell DTX / DRX on duration does not align between the PCell and SCell, the UE shall assume that the cell DTX / DRX active time extends to slot n in the PCell, when the UE needs to perform periodic CSI measurements / reports in the PCell to achieve UL-only SCell synchronization in slot n, which is during the cell DTX / DRX inactive period of the PCell and the cell DTX / DRX active time of the SCell.

[0267] 13 illustrates an example of data scheduling information on a PCell that indicates data reception during a cell DTX-off period on a SCell of a UE, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The UE then receives a PDSCH during the cell DTX-off duration on the SCell according to the data scheduling information.

[0268] According to one embodiment of the present invention, if the UE is provided with cell DTX / DRX configuration information, the UE performs the following actions related to CSI reporting when predefined conditions are met:

[0269] In some embodiments, the predefined conditions may be that the UE is configured by higher layer parameters, that the UE is configured to report CSI reports in a specific amount, that the most recent CSI measurement occasion is within the cell DTX / DRX cycle, and / or the cell DTX / DRX on duration, and / or the cell DTX / DRX off duration, and / or the UE DRX cycle, and / or the UE of the CSI being reported. the UE receives at least one CSI-RS transmission opportunity for channel measurement and a CSI-RS and / or CSI-IM opportunity for interference measurement during a duration within the CSI reference resource; the UE receives at least one CSI-RS transmission opportunity for each CSI-RS resource of the resource pair during a duration within the CSI reference resource; the UE receives at least one CSI-RS transmission opportunity for channel measurement during a duration within the CSI reference resource; the UE is configured by higher layer parameters to report L1-RSRP (e.g., the UE is configured by higher layer parameters ps-TransmitPeriodicL1-RSRP to report L1-RSRP). The UE may be configured with at least one of the following: CSI reporting is set to "periodic" or "semi-persistent" (e.g., the UE is configured with the higher layer parameter reportConfigType set to "periodic"), the UE is configured with the higher layer parameter reportQuantity set to a specific quantity, the UE is configured to monitor DCI formats 2-6, the DRX cycle in use is greater than 80 ms, the UE detects DCI formats 2-6 indicating "no wake-up indication", the drx-onDurationTimer is not started, the UE is configured with cell DTX, the UE is configured with cell DRX, and the UE is configured to transmit SRS.

In some embodiments, the SRS is periodic or semi-persistent.

[0272] The UE does not satisfy the following condition: at the current symbol n, the UE DRX group is not in the active time taking into account the grants / allocations scheduled on the serving cell within this UE DRX group, as well as the UE DRX command MAC CE / long DRX command MAC CE received up to 4 ms prior to symbol n and the scheduling requests sent when evaluating all UE DRX active time conditions.

[0274] The UE does not satisfy the following conditions: if CSI masking (csi-Mask) is set up by higher layers, if, at the current symbol n, when evaluating all UE DRX active time conditions, the drx-onDurationTimer for the UE DRX group is not running taking into account the grants / allocations scheduled on the serving cell in this UE DRX group and the UE DRX command MAC CE / long DRX command MAC CE received up to 4 ms before symbol n, and if allowCSI-SRS-Tx-MulticastDRX-Active is not configured, or if, within the current symbol n, the drx-onDurationTimerPTM for all multicast UE DRX corresponding to the UE DRX group is not running taking into account the multicast allocations, and when evaluating all DRX active time conditions, the UE DRX command MAC CE for MBS multicast received up to 4 ms before symbol n, and all multicast sessions corresponding to the UE DRX group are configured with multicast UE DRX.

[0275] The UE reports CSI on the PUCCH and / or PUSCH, and / or the UE transmits periodic SRS and semi-persistent SRS, and / or the UE reports CSI on the PUCCH and configured semi-persistent CSI on the PUSCH.

[0276] In some embodiments, the next action is at least one of: the UE reporting a CSI report with a specific amount; the UE performing CSI measurements based on the CSI measurement occasion during a duration associated with the cell DTX / DRX cycle, and / or the cell DTX / DRX On Duration, and / or the cell DTX / DRX Off Duration, and / or the UE DRX cycle, and / or the UE DRX On Duration Timer; the UE performing measurements based on the CSI-RS-Resource-Mobility; the UE assuming that the DRX On Duration Timer during the cell DTX / DRX Off Duration belongs to the UE DRX Active Time or the cell DTX / DRX Active Time; the UE transmitting an SRS during a duration associated with the cell DTX / DRX cycle, and / or the cell DTX / DRX On Duration, and / or the cell DTX / DRX Off Duration, and / or the UE DRX cycle, and / or the UE DRX On Duration Timer;

[0277] In some embodiments, the UE does not need to perform measurements based on CSI-RS-Resource-Mobility other than during a timer duration associated with the cell DTX / DRX cycle, and / or the cell DTX / DRX on duration, and / or the cell DTX / DRX off duration, and / or the UE DRX cycle, and / or the UE DRX on duration timer.

[0278] In some embodiments, the specific amount includes at least one of the following: any of the amounts for CSI reporting; CSI having a "periodic" type and set to an amount other than "cr-RSRP" and "ssb-Index-RSRP"; L1-RSRP having a "periodic" type and set to cr-RSRP; "cri-RSRP," "ssb-Index-RSRP," "cri-RSRP-Capability[Set]Index," and "ssb-Index-RSRP-Capability[Set]Index."

[0279] In some embodiments, the duration associated with the cell DTX / DRX cycle, and / or the cell DTX / DRX on duration, and / or the cell DTX / DRX off duration, and / or the UE DRX cycle, and / or the UE DRX on duration timer is at least one of the following durations:

[0280] 1-Cell DTX / DRX active time, 2 - Out-of-cell DTX / DRX active time, or out-of-cell DTX / DRX active time, or cell DTX / DRX inactive period, 3-cell DTX / DRX off duration, 4-cell DTX / DRX on duration, 5-UE DRX active time, 6 - The timer duration indicated by drx-onDurationTimer in DRX-Config also outside the UE DRX active time, 7-Timer duration indicated by drx-onDurationTimer in DRX-Config within Cell DTX / DRX out-of-active time and / or Cell DTX / DRX off duration, 8 - Timer duration indicated by drx-onDurationTimer in DRX-Config, also outside UE DRX active time and also within Cell DTX / DRX out of active time and / or Cell DTX / DRX off duration, 9 - The timer duration indicated by drx-onDurationTimer in DRX-Config within Cell DTX / DRX Active Time and / or Cell DTX / DRX On Duration, 10 - Timer duration indicated by drx-onDurationTimer in DRX-Config, also outside the UE DRX Active Time and also within the Cell DTX / DRX Active Time and / or Cell DTX / DRX On Duration; 11 - Timer duration of Cell DTX / DRX Active Time and / or UE DRX Active Time within Cell DTX / DRX On Duration; 12 - Timer duration of cell DTX / DRX out of active time and / or UE DRX active time within cell DTX / DRX off duration; 13 - Timer duration outside UE DRX active time within cell DTX / DRX active time and / or cell DTX / DRX on duration; 14 - Timer duration of UE DRX out of active time within cell DTX / DRX out of active time and / or cell DTX / DRX off duration; Cell DTX / DRX out-of-active time and / or Cell DTX / DRX off duration within the timer duration indicated by drx-onDurationTimer in 15-DRX-Config, 16 - Cell DTX / DRX out-of-active time and / or Cell DTX / DRX off duration within the timer duration indicated by drx-onDurationTimer in DRX-Config, also outside UE DRX active time; Cell DTX / DRX active time and / or Cell DTX / DRX on duration within the timer duration indicated by drx-onDurationTimer in 17-DRX-Config; 18-Cell DTX / DRX active time and / or Cell DTX / DRX on duration within the timer duration indicated by drx-onDurationTimer in DRX-Config, also outside the UE DRX active time; 19- Cell DTX / DRX active time and / or Cell DTX / DRX on duration within the UE DRX active time timer duration; 20—Cell DTX / DRX out-of-active time and / or Cell DTX / DRX off duration within the UE DRX active time timer duration; 21 - Cell DTX / DRX active time and / or Cell DTX / DRX on duration within timer duration outside UE DRX active time; 22-Cell DTX / DRX out of active time and / or Cell DTX / DRX off duration within UE DRX out of active time timer duration. In some embodiments, for example, if the UE is configured to monitor DCI indicating information related to cell DTX / DRX and is configured by higher layer parameters to report a CSI (Channel Status Information) report having a certain amount when the DTX off duration overlaps with the UE DRX active time, the most recent CSI measurement occasion occurs within the duration of the UE DRX active time that overlaps with the DTX off duration for which the CSI is reported. In some embodiments, the CSI report is CSI, or reference signal received quality (RSRQ), or received signal strength indicator (RSSI), or layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP).

[0281] In some embodiments, for CSI-RS (Channel Status Information Reference Signal) reception procedures, if the UE is configured with cell DTX / DRX, the UE may perform the following operations.

[0282] When the DTX off duration overlaps with the UE DRX active time, if the UE is configured to monitor DCI indicating information related to cell DTX / DRX, and is configured by one or more higher layer parameters to report CSI having a "periodic" type and set to an amount other than "cri-RSRP" and "ssb-Index-RSRP", the most recent CSI measurement occasion occurs within the duration of the UE DRX active time that overlaps with the DTX off duration for which the CSI is reported; When the DTX off duration overlaps with the UE DRX active time, if the UE is configured to monitor DCI indicating information related to cell DTX / DRX, report an L1-RSRP having a type of "periodic", and is configured by one or more higher layer parameters to set the L1-RSRP to cri-RSRP, the most recent CSI measurement occasion occurs within the duration of the UE DRX active time that overlaps with the DTX off duration for which the CSI is reported; Otherwise, the most recent CSI measurement occasion occurs during the DTX on duration for which CSI is reported.

[0283] In some embodiments, as another example, when the UE is configured with cell DTX / DRX, or when the UE is configured to monitor DCI indicating information related to cell DTX / DRX, or when the DTX cycle or DTX on duration or DTX off duration is greater than T, the UE may perform measurements and / or report a CSI report during the DTX on duration or during the duration of the UE DRX active time that overlaps with the DTX off duration. In some embodiments, T is greater than or equal to 80 ms. In some embodiments, the CSI report is CSI, or RSRQ, or RSSI, or L1-RSRP.

[0284] In some embodiments, for CSI-RS for mobility, if the UE is configured with cell DTX / DRX, the UE does not need to perform measurements on CSI-RS resources other than during the DTX-on duration for measurements based on CSI-RS-Resource-Mobility. When the UE is configured to monitor DCI indicating information related to cell DTX / DRX, the UE does not need to perform measurements other than during the DTX-on duration and the duration of the DTX-off duration that overlaps with the UE DRX active time based on CSI-RS-Resource-Mobility.

[0285] In some embodiments, if the UE is configured with cell DTX / DRX and the DTX cycle or DTX on duration in use is greater than 80 ms, the UE may not expect CSI-RS resources to be available other than during the DTX on duration or UE DRX active time, or during a duration of the UE DRX active time that overlaps with a DTX off duration for measurements, based on CSI-RS-Resource-Mobility. If the UE is configured with cell DTX / DRX and configured to monitor DCI indicating information related to cell DTX / DRX, and the DTX cycle or DTX on duration in use is greater than 80 ms, the UE may not expect CSI-RS resources to be available other than during the DTX on duration or UE DRX active time, or during a duration of the UE DRX active time that overlaps with a DTX off duration for measurements, based on CSI-RS-Resource-Mobility. Otherwise, the UE may assume that CSI-RS is available for measurements based on CSI-RS-Resource-Mobility.

[0286] In some embodiments, when cell DTX / DRX is configured, the UE reports a CSI report only if it receives at least one CSI-RS transmission opportunity for channel measurement and a CSI-RS and / or CSI-IM opportunity for interference measurement in the DTX on duration within the CSI reference resource, and drops the report otherwise.

[0287] In some embodiments, when cell DTX / DRX is configured and the CSI-RS resource set for channel measurements corresponding to a CSI report is configured with two resource groups and N resource pairs, the UE reports a CSI report only if it receives at least one CSI-RS transmission opportunity for each CSI-RS resource in a resource pair within the same DTX-on duration within the CSI reference resource, and drops the report otherwise.

[0288] In some embodiments, when the UE is configured to monitor DCI indicating information related to cell DTX / DRX, and when the UE is configured by the higher layer parameter ps-TransmitOtherPeriodicCSI to report CSI with the higher layer parameter reportConfigType set to “periodic” and reportQuantity set to an amount other than “cri-RSRP”, “ssb-Index-RSRP”, “cri-RSRP-Capability[Set]Index”, and “ssb-Index-RSRP-Capability[Set]Index” when the drx-onDurationTimer is not started, the UE may report CSI during the duration of the UE DRX active time that overlaps with the DTX off duration if it receives at least one CSI-RS transmission opportunity for channel measurement and a CSI-RS and / or CSI-IM opportunity for interference measurement during the duration of the UE DRX active time that overlaps with the DTX off duration or within a DTX on duration within the UE DRX active time or within a CSI reference resource, and may drop the report otherwise.

[0289] In some embodiments, when a UE is configured to monitor DCI indicating information related to cell DTX / DRX, and when the UE is configured by the higher layer parameter ps-TransmitPeriodicL1-RSRP to report L1-RSRP with the higher layer parameter reportConfigType set to "periodic" and reportQuantity set to "cri-RSRP", "ssb-Index-RSRP", "cri-RSRP-Capability[Set]Index", or "ssb-Index-RSRP-Capability[Set]Index" when the UE DRX active time overlaps with a DTX off duration, the UE may report a channel measurement for a UE DRX active time overlapping with a DTX off duration if it receives at least one CSI-RS transmission opportunity for channel measurement during the duration of the UE DRX active time that overlaps with the DTX off duration or within a DTX on duration within the UE DRX active time or within a CSI reference resource. May report L1-RSRP during the duration of DRX active time and when reportQuantity is set to "cri-RSRP" or "cri-RSRP-Capability[Set]Index", otherwise drop the report.

[0290] In some embodiments, DRX is a function that controls the UE's PDCCH monitoring activity for the C-RNTI, CI-RNTI (Cancellation Indication RNTI), CS-RNTI, INT-RNTI (Interrupt RNTI), SFI-RNTI (Slot Format Indication RNTI), SP-CSI-RNTI (Semi-Persistent CSI RNTI), TPC-PUCCH-RNTI (Transmit Power Control PUCCH-RNTI), TPC-PUSCH-RNTI (Transmit Power Control PUSCH-RNTI), TPC-SRS-RNTI (Transmit Power Control - Sounding Reference Symbol RNTI), AI-RNTI (Availability Indication RNTI), SL-RNTI (Sidelink RNTI), SLCS-RNTI (Sidelink Configured Scheduling RNTI), and SL (Sidelink) Semi-Persistent Scheduling V-RNTI of the MAC (Medium Access Control) entity. When using DRX operation, the MAC entity may also monitor the PDCCH according to requirements. When in RRC_CONNECTED, if DRX is configured, for all activated serving cells, the MAC entity may discontinuously monitor the PDCCH using DRX operation; otherwise, the MAC entity may monitor the PDCCH in a different manner.

[0291] In some embodiments, the serving cells of a MAC entity may be configured by RRC into two DRX groups with separate DRX parameters. If RRC does not configure a secondary DRX group, there is only one DRX group and all serving cells belong to that one DRX group. If two DRX groups are configured, each serving cell is uniquely assigned to one of the two groups. The DRX parameters configured separately for each DRX group may be drx-onDurationTimer and drx-InactivityTimer. The DRX parameters common to the DRX groups may be drx-SlotOffset, drx-RetransmissionTimerDL, drx-RetransmissionTimerUL, drx-LongCycleStartOffset, drx-ShortCycle (optional), drx-ShortCycleTimer (optional), drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerDL, drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerUL, and uplinkHARQ-Mode (optional).

[0292] In some embodiments, a DRX group is configured by RRC and indicates a group of serving cells that have the same DRX active time.

[0293] When DRX is configured, the active time of a serving cell in a DRX group includes the time between:

[0294] - The drx-onDurationTimer or drx-InactivityTimer configured for the DRX group is running, or - drx-RetransmissionTimerDL, drx-RetransmissionTimerUL or drx-RetransmissionTimerSL is running on any serving cell in the DRX group, or -ra-ContentionResolutionTimer or msgB-ResponseWindow is firing, or If a scheduling request has been transmitted on the PUCCH and is pending and this serving cell is part of a non-terrestrial network, the active time starts after the initial scheduling request transmission plus the UE-gNB RTT, or - No PDCCH indicating a new transmission addressed to the C-RNTI of the MAC entity has been received after successful reception of a random access response to a contention-based random access preamble that has not been selected by the MAC entity.

[0295] According to one embodiment of the present invention, joint configuration of adaptation and DTX / DRX operation of DL common and broadcast signals can be implemented as follows.

[0296] For connected mode UE, cell DRX / DTX is configured and SSB / SIB1 cell is performed outside DTX / DRX active time.

[0297] For idle mode UEs, cell DRX / DTX is configured and simplified SSB or SSB with greater periodicity is configured outside DTX / DRX active time.

[0298] 14 illustrates an example of cell DTX / DRX according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 14, a portion of the DRX active time of UE3 can be deactivated based on the DTX off period.

[0299] The configuration of at least one embodiment above can ensure a longer sleep period for the gNB. For legacy UEs or UEs that do not support DTX / DRX operation, this can also help the UE access the cell using cell DTX / DRX.

[0300] In some embodiments, during outside DRX active times, SSB / SIB transmissions configured by RRC signaling are stopped and / or adaptation of SSB / SIB transmissions is configured / instructed to one or more UEs.

[0301] In some embodiments, adaptation of DL common and broadcast signals may be triggered by the end / stop / expiry of the DRX on duration timer, the end / stop of the DRX inactivity timer, the end / stop / expiry of the DRX RTT timer / DRX retransmission timer, the end of DRX active time, or the start of DRX outside active time.

[0302] A wireless communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is also provided. In one embodiment, the wireless communication method may be implemented by using a wireless communication terminal (e.g., a UE). In one embodiment, the wireless communication terminal may be implemented using, but is not limited to, the wireless communication terminal 40 described above.

[0303] Referring to FIG. 15 , in one embodiment, a wireless communication method includes receiving, by a wireless communication terminal, cell configuration information for cell discontinuous communication from a wireless communication node; and performing, by the wireless communication terminal, the cell discontinuous communication in accordance with the cell configuration information.

[0304] In some embodiments, the cell configuration information may be the cell DTX / DRX configuration information described above.

[0305] In some embodiments, the cell discontinuous communication may be the cell DTX / DRX described above, or the UE and / or gNB operations are performed for the cell DTX / DRX described above.

[0306] Further details on this point can be found in the above paragraphs and will not be repeated here.

[0307] Another wireless communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is also provided. In one embodiment, the wireless communication method may be implemented by using a wireless communication node (e.g., a gNB or a BS). In one embodiment, the wireless communication node may be implemented using, but is not limited to, the wireless communication node 50 described above.

[0308] Referring to FIG. 16 , in one embodiment, a wireless communication method includes transmitting, by a wireless communication node, cell configuration information for cell discontinuous communication to a wireless communication terminal to enable the wireless communication terminal to perform cell discontinuous communication in accordance with the cell configuration information.

[0309] Further details on this point can be found in the above paragraphs and will not be repeated here.
