AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The reliability of relay functions and power consumption are compromised in remote terminals due to unreliable relay information and increased power usage when implementing the extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) mechanism.

Method used

Relay terminals adapt their eDRX mechanism by determining and transmitting specific parameters to other terminals, such as eDRX period and paging time window, to improve reliability and reduce power consumption.

Benefits of technology

This adaptation enhances the reliability of relay functions and reduces power consumption in terminals by optimizing the eDRX mechanism.

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a communication method and apparatus. A first terminal determines first information including at least one parameter and sends the first information to a second terminal. First period information is set in the first terminal, the first period information indicates the eDRX of the first terminal, at least one parameter is used to determine second period information, the second period information is used to determine the period for which the network pages to the first terminal, at least one parameter is related to the second information, the second information includes at least one of some or all of the information of the first period information and the PTW of the first terminal. In the method, the first terminal determines at least one parameter to be sent to the second terminal based on information about the eDRX mechanism, so that the paging period determined by the second terminal based on at least one parameter can be adapted to the eDRX of the first terminal. This can improve the reliability of the relay function and reduce the power consumption of the terminal.
