Alternatively, the network management device may be another core network device, such as a Serving Gateway (SGW), Public Data Network Gateway (PGW), Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), or Home Subscriber Server (HSS). The embodiments of this disclosure are not limited to the implementation of the network management device 130. 【0044】 To make it easily understandable to those skilled in the art, the embodiments of this disclosure clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure by giving example to several embodiments. Naturally, as will be understood by those skilled in the art, the embodiments provided in the embodiments of this disclosure may be performed individually, in combination with methods of other embodiments in the embodiments of this disclosure, or individually or in combination with some methods of other related art, and the embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto. 【0045】 To better understand the technical solutions described in any one embodiment of this disclosure, we will first describe the application scenarios in the relevant technology. 【0046】 When considering power saving issues for terminals, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH skipping) mechanism can be introduced. The basic operating principle of this mechanism is to send instruction information to the terminal and notify the terminal that it can stop monitoring the PDCCH for a predetermined time. The instruction information may be Downlink Control Information (DCI) instruction information. 【0047】 In this case, notifying the terminal of the time range during which it will enter a sleep state can be done in advance using Radio Resource Control (RRC) based on the network. 【0048】 In one embodiment, a predetermined time is specified in DCI to skip monitoring of PDCCH. 【0049】 In one embodiment, M=1, where M is the number of skip intervals set by the upper layer, and the scheduling DCI has a 1-bit information field to instruct the PDCCH monitor's self-adaptive behavior, the meaning of which is shown in Table 1 below. 【0050】 [Table 1] 【0051】 If M=2 or M=3, the scheduling DCI contains 2 bits of information to instruct the PDCCH monitor's self-adaptive behavior, the meaning of which is shown in Table 2 below. 【0052】 [Table 2] 【0053】 In this context, the basic unit of skipping, x, is a slot. 【0054】 For the X value in Beh 1A, the candidate skip value is: It may support a time length of up to 100ms. X is set and indicated in units of slots. The selectable parameters for the behavior of the candidate X values ​​may be as follows: {1,2,3,…,20,30,40,50,60,80,100}for 15 kHz SCS, {1,2,3,…,40,60,80,100,120,160,200}for 30 kHz SCS, {1,2,3,…,80,120,160,200,240,320,400}for 60kHz SCS, {1,2,3,…,160,240,320,400,480,640,800}for 120kHz SCS, The minimum scheduling offset for application is greater than or equal to the minimum applicable offset. Additional symbol level or PDCCH monitor period level monitor duration. 【0055】 In one embodiment, in a carrier aggregation scene, both discontinuous reception (DRX) and wake-up signals are common to the PCell and Scell ​​of carrier aggregation; that is, both the primary and secondary carriers are monitored simultaneously. However, the amount of data is always less for the secondary carrier, or in scenes using FR2, the secondary carrier has a larger bandwidth and faster data transmission, so its required monitoring time is less than that of the primary carrier. For this reason, a PDCCH skip mechanism can be used. 【0056】 As shown in Figure 2, this embodiment provides a monitor skipping method, which is performed by a base station, and the method includes the following step 21. 【0057】 In step 21, physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitor skip information is sent to the terminal, where the PDCCH monitor skip information instructs the terminal to skip monitoring of the PDCCH on a predetermined carrier, the predetermined carrier including at least one of a primary carrier and a secondary carrier. 【0058】 Here, the terminals relating to this disclosure may be, but are not limited to, mobile phones, wearable devices, in-vehicle terminals, roadside units (RSUs), smart home terminals, industrial sensing devices, and / or medical devices. 【0059】 The base station relating to this disclosure may also be an access device on which a terminal accesses the network. Here, the base station may be any type of base station, for example, a base station for a third-generation mobile communication (3G) network, a base station for a fourth-generation mobile communication (4G) network, a base station for a fifth-generation mobile communication (5G) network, or other advanced base stations. 【0060】 In one embodiment, a base station transmits physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitor skip information to a terminal, where the PDCCH monitor skip information instructs the terminal to skip monitoring the PDCCH on a predetermined carrier, the predetermined carrier including at least one of a primary carrier and a secondary carrier. After receiving the PDCCH monitor skip information transmitted from the base station, the terminal decides, based on the PDCCH monitor skip information, to monitor the PDCCH on the primary carrier and / or the secondary carrier, or decides, based on the PDCCH monitor skip information, to skip monitoring the PDCCH on the primary carrier and / or the secondary carrier. 【0061】 In one embodiment, a base station transmits a DCI containing PDCCH monitor skip information to a terminal. After receiving the DCI transmitted from the base station, the terminal decides to monitor the PDCCH on the primary carrier and / or secondary carrier based on the PDCCH monitor skip information contained in the DCI, or decides to skip monitoring the PDCCH on the primary carrier and / or secondary carrier based on the PDCCH monitor skip information contained in the DCI. 【0062】 In one embodiment, a base station transmits PDCCH monitor skip information to a terminal on the primary carrier, where the PDCCH monitor skip information instructs the terminal to skip monitoring the PDCCH on a given carrier. Here, the primary carrier may be a Pcell or a Pscell. 【0063】 The base station may also transmit a DCI containing PDCCH continuous monitoring information to the terminal. This PDCCH continuous monitoring information instructs the terminal to continue monitoring the PDCCH on a designated carrier. 【0064】 In one embodiment, a given carrier may be specified by a protocol or notified by a network. 【0065】 In one embodiment, the predetermined carrier specified by the protocol may be any available secondary carrier. 【0066】 In one embodiment, a predetermined carrier specified by the protocol may be determined based on a certain DRX packet. For example, the predetermined carrier is the primary carrier or secondary carrier in a certain DRX packet. 【0067】 In one embodiment, if a predetermined carrier specified by the protocol is the primary carrier, then all available secondary carriers are also predetermined carriers. 【0068】 In one embodiment, the base station may explicitly indicate whether a given carrier is a primary or secondary carrier, and exemplary, an identifier may be indicated by a single flag, and primary and secondary carriers may be distinguished by different values. 【0069】 In one embodiment, the base station can explicitly specify a range of a given carrier. 【0070】 In one embodiment, the base station transmits PDCCH monitor skip information to the terminal, which instructs the terminal to skip monitoring the PDCCH on the secondary carrier. After receiving the PDCCH monitor skip information, the terminal skips monitoring the PDCCH on the secondary carrier based on the PDCCH monitor skip information. 【0071】 In one embodiment, the duration for which monitoring of the PDCCH is skipped on the secondary carrier can be determined based on power saving requirement parameters. For example, if the power saving requirement parameter is greater than a parameter threshold, the duration for which monitoring of the PDCCH is skipped on the secondary carrier is determined to be less than a time threshold; or, if the power saving requirement parameter is less than a parameter threshold, the duration for which monitoring of the PDCCH is skipped on the secondary carrier is determined to be greater than a time threshold. Thus, the duration for which the PDCCH is monitored on the secondary carrier can be adapted to the power saving requirement parameters. 【0072】 In one embodiment, the length of time to skip monitoring the PDCCH on the carrier can be determined based on several time units. For example, the time unit is ms or slots. Skipping X time units results in stopping X ms or X slots, where slots can be determined based on the subcarrier interval. 【0073】 In one embodiment, a base station transmits PDCCH monitor skip information to a terminal, which instructs the terminal to skip monitoring the PDCCH on several secondary carriers. After receiving the PDCCH monitor skip information, the terminal skips monitoring the PDCCH on those several secondary carriers based on the PDCCH monitor skip information. Here, the several secondary carriers may be some or all of the secondary carriers supported by the terminal. 【0074】 In one embodiment, a base station transmits PDCCH monitor skip information to a terminal, which instructs the terminal to skip monitoring the PDCCH on a secondary carrier within a secondary carrier group. After receiving the PDCCH monitor skip information, the terminal skips monitoring the PDCCH on a secondary carrier within that secondary carrier group based on the PDCCH monitor skip information. There may be multiple secondary carrier groups, and these multiple secondary carrier groups may be some or all of the secondary carrier groups supported by the terminal. A secondary carrier group may include multiple secondary carriers. 【0075】 In one embodiment, in a dual DRX scene, the secondary carrier of FR1 and the secondary carrier of FR2 cannot be set to the same secondary carrier group. 【0076】 In one embodiment, in a dual DRX scene, the secondary carriers of FR1 and FR2 cannot be configured in the same DRX packet. In one embodiment, the base station sends PDCCH monitor skip information to the terminal, which instructs the terminal to skip monitoring the PDCCH on the secondary carrier. In this case, a timer to stop monitoring can be started on the secondary carrier, and the duration of the timer to stop monitoring is the duration of the monitor skip. In one embodiment, the base station sends PDCCH monitor skip information to the terminal, which instructs the terminal to skip monitoring the PDCCH on the secondary carrier. After receiving the PDCCH monitor skip information, the terminal does not prematurely terminate the process of skipping PDCCH monitoring on the secondary carrier because it subsequently needs to start a random access process on the secondary carrier and monitor the Random Access Response (RAR) on the primary carrier. In other words, the skipping process is terminated prematurely and the device does not enter the active state. That is, the timer that stops the monitor does not stop or restart. This is because, at this time, the terminal does not skip the PDCCH monitor on the primary carrier, and therefore does not affect the monitor on the primary carrier. 【0077】 In one embodiment, if a terminal instructs a secondary carrier within a secondary carrier group to skip monitoring of the PDCCH, the effective time duration of the PDCCH monitor skip information can be determined based on the minimum subcarrier interval in the BWP set in the activated secondary carrier group. In one embodiment, if a terminal instructs a secondary carrier within a secondary carrier group to skip monitoring of the PDCCH, the effective time duration of the PDCCH monitor skip information can be determined based on the subcarrier interval in the currently operating BWP. Within the effective time duration, the PDCCH monitor skip information is valid, and outside the effective time duration, the PDCCH monitor skip information is invalid. If the PDCCH monitor skip information is invalid, the terminal ignores it. Alternatively, if the PDCCH monitor skip information is valid, the terminal skips monitoring of the PDCCH on a predetermined carrier based on the PDCCH monitor skip information. In one embodiment, the starting point for calculating the effective time length may be the time when the terminal receives the PDCCH monitor skip information. 【0078】 In one embodiment, the base station transmits PDCCH monitor skip information to the terminal, which instructs the terminal to skip monitoring the PDCCH on the primary carrier. After receiving the PDCCH monitor skip information, the terminal skips monitoring the PDCCH on the primary carrier based on the information. The terminal does not skip monitoring the PDCCH on the secondary carrier based on the PDCCH monitor skip information; in other words, it does not affect monitoring on the secondary carrier. 【0079】 In one embodiment, if the PDCCH monitor skip information instructs the terminal to skip PDCCH monitoring on the primary carrier and the terminal decides not to skip PDCCH monitoring on the secondary carrier, the effective time length of the PDCCH monitor skip information can be determined based on the minimum subcarrier interval in all BWPs set on the primary carrier. In one embodiment, if the PDCCH monitor skip information instructs the terminal to skip PDCCH monitoring on the primary carrier and the terminal decides not to skip PDCCH monitoring on the secondary carrier, the effective time length of the PDCCH monitor skip information can be determined based on the subcarrier interval in the BWP currently activated on the primary carrier. Within the effective time length, the PDCCH monitor skip information is valid, and outside the effective time length, the PDCCH monitor skip information is invalid. If the PDCCH monitor skip information is invalid, the terminal ignores the PDCCH monitor skip information. Alternatively, if the PDCCH monitor skip information is valid, the terminal skips PDCCH monitoring on the predetermined carrier based on the PDCCH monitor skip information. In one embodiment, the starting point for calculating the effective time length may be the time when the terminal receives the PDCCH monitor skip information. 【0080】 In one embodiment, the base station transmits PDCCH monitor skip information to the terminal, which instructs the terminal to skip monitoring the PDCCH on the primary carrier. After receiving the PDCCH monitor skip information, the terminal skips monitoring the PDCCH on the primary carrier based on the information. Furthermore, the terminal also skips monitoring the PDCCH on the secondary carrier based on the PDCCH monitor skip information, thus affecting monitoring on the secondary carrier. 【0081】 In one embodiment, the base station transmits PDCCH monitor skip information to the terminal, which instructs the terminal to skip monitoring the PDCCH on the primary carrier and activates a timer to stop monitoring on the primary carrier. Furthermore, if the terminal further skips monitoring the PDCCH on the secondary carrier based on the PDCCH monitor skip information, i.e., affects monitoring on the secondary carrier, it activates a timer to stop monitoring on the secondary carrier as well. In other words, stopping or continuing monitoring on the primary carrier is effective for the entire terminal, and the terminal can be understood to stop or continue monitoring on all carriers. Such action may be stipulated by a protocol. 【0082】 At this time, the terminal processes the timer on the secondary carrier as follows: 【0083】 If a timer that would normally stop monitoring is activated on the secondary carrier, that timer can be restarted. The duration of this restart is determined according to the duration of the monitor stop on the primary carrier. For example, if the monitor is stopped for 3 seconds and then operated for 1 second on the secondary carrier, and the monitor stop duration on the primary carrier is 4 seconds, then the primary carrier will operate for 4 seconds and then stop the monitor. Similarly, the timer on the secondary carrier may also be affected by the PDCCH monitor continuation information on the primary carrier. For example, if the monitor is stopped for 3 seconds and then operated for 1 second on the secondary carrier, and then a command is received on the primary carrier, the monitor will continue on that carrier, the operating timer will stop, and the monitor will restart. 【0084】 Furthermore, if the terminal skips PDCCH monitoring on the secondary carrier based on PDCCH monitor skip information, i.e., if it affects monitoring on the secondary carrier, it activates a timer to stop monitoring on the secondary carrier as well. This timer operates according to the length of the monitoring stop time on the primary carrier, and then continues to operate. For example, if monitoring is stopped for 3 seconds and then operated for 1 second on the secondary carrier, and the monitoring stop time on the primary carrier is 4 seconds, then the timer will first operate for 4 seconds according to the primary carrier, and then continue operating for the remaining 2 seconds. 【0085】 In one embodiment, if a terminal instructs the primary carrier to skip PDCCH monitoring and the terminal decides to skip PDCCH monitoring on the secondary carrier, the effective time length of the PDCCH monitor skip information may be determined based on the minimum subcarrier interval across all BWPs set on the primary carrier, or based on the minimum subcarrier interval across BWPs activated by the terminal on the primary carrier. Within the effective time length, the PDCCH monitor skip information is valid, and outside the effective time length, the PDCCH monitor skip information is invalid. If the PDCCH monitor skip information is invalid, the terminal ignores it. Alternatively, if the PDCCH monitor skip information is valid, the terminal skips PDCCH monitoring on a predetermined carrier based on the PDCCH monitor skip information.

In one embodiment, a timer to stop monitoring is started on the primary carrier. Within the effective time length, the PDCCH monitor skip information is valid, and outside the effective time length, the PDCCH monitor skip information is invalid.

Thus, because the PDCCH monitor skip information instructs the terminal to skip monitoring of the PDCCH on the primary carrier and / or secondary carrier, the terminal can decide whether or not to monitor the PDCCH on the primary carrier and / or secondary carrier based on the PDCCH monitor skip information, which can save power and improve the terminal's range compared to a system that always monitors the PDCCH on the primary carrier and / or secondary carrier. 【0095】 As those skilled in the art will understand, the methods provided in the embodiments of this disclosure may be performed independently or in conjunction with some of the methods in the embodiments of this disclosure or some of the methods in related technologies. 【0096】 As shown in Figure 3, this embodiment provides a monitor skipping method, which is performed by a base station, and the method includes the following step 31. 【0097】 In step 31, the primary carrier sends PDCCH Monitor skip information to the terminal. 【0098】 Here, the PDCCH monitor skip information instructs the terminal to skip monitoring the PDCCH on a predetermined carrier, where the predetermined carrier includes at least one of the primary carrier and the secondary carrier. 【0099】 In one embodiment, a base station transmits PDCCH monitor skip information to a terminal on the primary carrier, where the PDCCH monitor skip information instructs the terminal to skip monitoring the PDCCH on a predetermined carrier.

In other words, the PDCCH skip is affected. 【0127】 In one embodiment, if the PDCCH monitor skip information instructs the terminal to skip PDCCH monitoring on the secondary carrier and to start a random access process on the secondary carrier, the terminal will prematurely terminate the PDCCH monitoring skip on the primary carrier. That is, the PDCCH skip is affected. Here, prematurely terminating the PDCCH monitoring skip on the primary carrier may also mean prematurely terminating a timer set for the primary carrier. 【0128】 In one embodiment, if PDCCH monitor skip information instructs the terminal to skip PDCCH monitoring on the secondary carrier and to start a random access process on the secondary carrier, the terminal prematurely terminates the PDCCH monitoring skip on the primary and secondary carriers.

Exemplarily, the support information indicates the number of secondary carrier groups requesting a monitor skip. Exemplarily, the support information indicates that both the primary and secondary carriers wish to suspend operations. 【0134】 In one embodiment, the base station receives support information indicating the terminal monitor skip capability reported by the terminal. Exemplary, the support information indicates whether or not monitor skipping is supported, and / or whether or not monitor skipping of the secondary carrier in carrier aggregation is supported, and / or whether or not monitor skipping of the primary and secondary carriers is supported. 【0135】 As those skilled in the art will understand, the methods provided in the embodiments of this disclosure may be performed independently or in conjunction with some of the methods in the embodiments of this disclosure or some of the methods in related technologies. 【0136】 As shown in Figure 7, this embodiment provides a monitor skipping method, which is performed by a terminal, and the method includes the following step 71. 【0137】 In step 71, the terminal receives PDCCH monitor skip information transmitted from the base station, where the PDCCH monitor skip information instructs the terminal to skip monitoring of the PDCCH on a predetermined carrier, the predetermined carrier including at least one of the primary carrier and the secondary carrier. 【0138】 Here, the terminals relating to this disclosure may be, but are not limited to, mobile phones, wearable devices, in-vehicle terminals, roadside units (RSUs), smart home terminals, industrial sensing devices, and / or medical devices. 【0139】 The base station relating to this disclosure may also be an access device on which a terminal accesses the network. Here, the base station may be any type of base station, for example, a base station for a third-generation mobile communication (3G) network, a base station for a fourth-generation mobile communication (4G) network, a base station for a fifth-generation mobile communication (5G) network, or other advanced base stations. 【0140】 In one embodiment, a base station transmits physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitor skip information to a terminal, where the PDCCH monitor skip information instructs the terminal to skip monitoring the PDCCH on a predetermined carrier, the predetermined carrier including at least one of a primary carrier and a secondary carrier. After receiving the PDCCH monitor skip information transmitted from the base station, the terminal decides, based on the PDCCH monitor skip information, to monitor the PDCCH on the primary carrier and / or the secondary carrier, or decides, based on the PDCCH monitor skip information, to skip monitoring the PDCCH on the primary carrier and / or the secondary carrier. 【0141】 In one embodiment, a base station transmits a DCI containing PDCCH monitor skip information to a terminal. After receiving the DCI transmitted from the base station, the terminal decides to monitor the PDCCH on the primary carrier and / or secondary carrier based on the PDCCH monitor skip information contained in the DCI, or decides to skip monitoring the PDCCH on the primary carrier and / or secondary carrier based on the PDCCH monitor skip information contained in the DCI. 【0142】 In one embodiment, a base station transmits PDCCH monitor skip information to a terminal on the primary carrier, where the PDCCH monitor skip information instructs the terminal to skip monitoring the PDCCH on a given carrier. Here, the primary carrier may be a Pcell or a Pscell. 【0143】 The base station may also transmit a DCI containing PDCCH continuous monitoring information to the terminal. This PDCCH continuous monitoring information instructs the terminal to continue monitoring the PDCCH on a designated carrier. 【0144】 In one embodiment, a given carrier may be specified by a protocol or notified by a network. 【0145】 In one embodiment, the predetermined carrier specified by the protocol may be any available secondary carrier. 【0146】 In one embodiment, a predetermined carrier specified by the protocol may be determined based on a certain DRX packet. For example, the predetermined carrier is the primary carrier or secondary carrier in a certain DRX packet. 【0147】 In one embodiment, if a predetermined carrier specified by the protocol is the primary carrier, then all available secondary carriers are also predetermined carriers. 【0148】 In one embodiment, the base station may explicitly indicate whether a given carrier is a primary or secondary carrier, and exemplary, an identifier may be indicated by a single flag, and primary and secondary carriers may be distinguished by different values. 【0149】 In one embodiment, the base station can explicitly specify a range of a given carrier. 【0150】 In one embodiment, the base station transmits PDCCH monitor skip information to the terminal, which instructs the terminal to skip monitoring the PDCCH on the secondary carrier. After receiving the PDCCH monitor skip information, the terminal skips monitoring the PDCCH on the secondary carrier based on the PDCCH monitor skip information. 【0151】 In one embodiment, the duration for which monitoring of the PDCCH is skipped on the secondary carrier can be determined based on power saving requirement parameters. For example, if the power saving requirement parameter is greater than a parameter threshold, the duration for which monitoring of the PDCCH is skipped on the secondary carrier is determined to be less than a time threshold; or, if the power saving requirement parameter is less than a parameter threshold, the duration for which monitoring of the PDCCH is skipped on the secondary carrier is determined to be greater than a time threshold. Thus, the duration for which the PDCCH is monitored on the secondary carrier can be adapted to the power saving requirement parameters. 【0152】 In one embodiment, the length of time to skip monitoring the PDCCH on the carrier can be determined based on several time units. For example, the time unit is ms or slots. Skipping X time units results in stopping X ms or X slots, where slots can be determined based on the subcarrier interval. 【0153】 In one embodiment, a base station transmits PDCCH monitor skip information to a terminal, which instructs the terminal to skip monitoring the PDCCH on several secondary carriers. After receiving the PDCCH monitor skip information, the terminal skips monitoring the PDCCH on those several secondary carriers based on the PDCCH monitor skip information. Here, the several secondary carriers may be some or all of the secondary carriers supported by the terminal. 【0154】 In one embodiment, a base station transmits PDCCH monitor skip information to a terminal, which instructs the terminal to skip monitoring the PDCCH on a secondary carrier within a secondary carrier group. After receiving the PDCCH monitor skip information, the terminal skips monitoring the PDCCH on a secondary carrier within that secondary carrier group based on the PDCCH monitor skip information. There may be multiple secondary carrier groups, and these multiple secondary carrier groups may be some or all of the secondary carrier groups supported by the terminal. A secondary carrier group may include multiple secondary carriers. 【0155】 In one embodiment, in a dual DRX scene, the secondary carrier of FR1 and the secondary carrier of FR2 cannot be set to the same secondary carrier group. 【0156】 In one embodiment, in a dual DRX scene, the secondary carrier of FR1 and the secondary carrier of FR2 cannot be configured in the same DRX packet. 【0157】 In one embodiment, the base station transmits PDCCH monitor skip information to the terminal, which instructs the terminal to skip monitoring the PDCCH on the secondary carrier. In this case, a timer can be started on the secondary carrier to stop monitoring, and the duration of this timer is equal to the monitor skip duration. 【0158】 In one embodiment, the base station transmits PDCCH monitor skip information to the terminal, which instructs the terminal to skip monitoring the PDCCH on the secondary carrier. After receiving the PDCCH monitor skip information, the terminal does not prematurely terminate the process of skipping PDCCH monitoring on the secondary carrier because it subsequently needs to initiate a random access process on the secondary carrier and monitor the Random Access Response (RAR) on the primary carrier. In other words, it does not prematurely terminate the skip process and enter an active state. That is, the timer that stops monitoring does not stop or restart. This is because, at this time, the terminal does not skip monitoring the PDCCH on the primary carrier, and therefore does not affect monitoring on the primary carrier. 【0159】 In one embodiment, if the PDCCH monitor skip information instructs the terminal to skip monitoring of the PDCCH on a secondary carrier within the secondary carrier group, the effective time duration of the PDCCH monitor skip information can be determined based on the minimum subcarrier interval in the BWP set in the active secondary carrier group. 【0160】 In one embodiment, if the PDCCH monitor skip information instructs the terminal to skip monitoring of the PDCCH on a secondary carrier within the secondary carrier group, the effective time length of the PDCCH monitor skip information can be determined based on the subcarrier interval in the currently operating BWP. 【0161】 Within the validity period, the PDCCH monitor skip information is valid, and outside of the validity period, the PDCCH monitor skip information is invalid. If the PDCCH monitor skip information is invalid, the terminal ignores it. Alternatively, if the PDCCH monitor skip information is valid, the terminal skips PDCCH monitoring on a predetermined carrier based on the PDCCH monitor skip information. In one embodiment, the starting point for calculating the validity period may be the time when the terminal receives the PDCCH monitor skip information. 【0162】 In one embodiment, the base station transmits PDCCH monitor skip information to the terminal, which instructs the terminal to skip monitoring the PDCCH on the primary carrier. After receiving the PDCCH monitor skip information, the terminal skips monitoring the PDCCH on the primary carrier based on the information. The terminal does not skip monitoring the PDCCH on the secondary carrier based on the PDCCH monitor skip information; in other words, it does not affect monitoring on the secondary carrier. 【0163】 In one embodiment, if the PDCCH monitor skip information instructs the terminal to skip PDCCH monitoring on the primary carrier and the terminal decides not to skip PDCCH monitoring on the secondary carrier, the effective time length of the PDCCH monitor skip information can be determined based on the minimum subcarrier interval in all BWPs set on the primary carrier. 【0164】 In one embodiment, if the PDCCH monitor skip information instructs the terminal to skip PDCCH monitoring on the primary carrier and the terminal decides not to skip PDCCH monitoring on the secondary carrier, the effective time length of the PDCCH monitor skip information can be determined based on the subcarrier interval in the BWP currently activated on the primary carrier. 【0165】 Within the validity period, the PDCCH monitor skip information is valid, and outside of the validity period, the PDCCH monitor skip information is invalid. If the PDCCH monitor skip information is invalid, the terminal ignores it. Alternatively, if the PDCCH monitor skip information is valid, the terminal skips PDCCH monitoring on a predetermined carrier based on the PDCCH monitor skip information. In one embodiment, the starting point for calculating the validity period may be the time when the terminal receives the PDCCH monitor skip information. 【0166】 In one embodiment, the base station transmits PDCCH monitor skip information to the terminal, which instructs the terminal to skip monitoring the PDCCH on the primary carrier. After receiving the PDCCH monitor skip information, the terminal skips monitoring the PDCCH on the primary carrier based on the information. Furthermore, the terminal also skips monitoring the PDCCH on the secondary carrier based on the PDCCH monitor skip information, thus affecting monitoring on the secondary carrier. 【0167】 In one embodiment, the base station transmits PDCCH monitor skip information to the terminal, which instructs the terminal to skip monitoring the PDCCH on the primary carrier and activates a timer to stop monitoring on the primary carrier. Furthermore, if the terminal further skips monitoring the PDCCH on the secondary carrier based on the PDCCH monitor skip information, i.e., affects monitoring on the secondary carrier, it activates a timer to stop monitoring on the secondary carrier as well. In other words, stopping or continuing monitoring on the primary carrier is effective for the entire terminal, and the terminal can be understood to stop or continue monitoring on all carriers. Such action may be stipulated by a protocol. 【0168】 At this time, the terminal processes the timer on the secondary carrier as follows: 【0169】 If a timer that would normally stop monitoring is activated on the secondary carrier, that timer can be restarted. The duration of this restart is determined according to the duration of the monitor stop on the primary carrier. For example, if the monitor is stopped for 3 seconds and then operated for 1 second on the secondary carrier, and the monitor stop duration on the primary carrier is 4 seconds, then the primary carrier will operate for 4 seconds and then stop the monitor. Similarly, the timer on the secondary carrier may also be affected by the PDCCH monitor continuation information on the primary carrier. For example, if the monitor is stopped for 3 seconds and then operated for 1 second on the secondary carrier, and then a command is received on the primary carrier, the monitor will continue on that carrier, the operating timer will stop, and the monitor will restart. 【0170】 Furthermore, if the terminal skips PDCCH monitoring on the secondary carrier based on PDCCH monitor skip information, i.e., if it affects monitoring on the secondary carrier, it activates a timer to stop monitoring on the secondary carrier as well. This timer operates according to the length of the monitor stop time on the primary carrier, and then continues to operate. For example, if the monitor is stopped for 3 seconds and then operated for 1 second on the secondary carrier, and the monitor stop time on the primary carrier is 4 seconds, then the timer will first operate for 4 seconds according to the primary carrier, and then continue operating for the remaining 2 seconds. 【0171】 In one embodiment, if a terminal instructs the primary carrier to skip PDCCH monitoring and the terminal decides to skip PDCCH monitoring on the secondary carrier, the effective time length of the PDCCH monitor skip information may be determined based on the minimum subcarrier interval across all BWPs set on the primary carrier, or based on the minimum subcarrier interval across BWPs activated by the terminal on the primary carrier. Within the effective time length, the PDCCH monitor skip information is valid, and outside the effective time length, the PDCCH monitor skip information is invalid. If the PDCCH monitor skip information is invalid, the terminal ignores it. Alternatively, if the PDCCH monitor skip information is valid, the terminal skips PDCCH monitoring on a predetermined carrier based on the PDCCH monitor skip information. In one embodiment, the starting point for calculating the effective time length may be the time the terminal receives the PDCCH monitor skip information. 【0172】 In one embodiment, if a terminal instructs the primary carrier to skip monitoring of the PDCCH and the terminal decides to skip monitoring of the PDCCH on the secondary carrier, the effective time length of the PDCCH monitor skip information may be determined based on the minimum subcarrier interval in all BWPs set on the primary and secondary carriers, or based on the minimum subcarrier interval in the BWP activated by the terminal on the primary carrier. In one embodiment, a timer to stop monitoring is started on the primary carrier. Within the effective time length, the PDCCH monitor skip information is valid, and outside the effective time length, the PDCCH monitor skip information is invalid. If the PDCCH monitor skip information is invalid, the terminal ignores it. Alternatively, if the PDCCH monitor skip information is valid, the terminal skips monitoring of the PDCCH on the predetermined carrier based on the PDCCH monitor skip information. In one embodiment, the starting point for calculating the effective time length may be when the terminal receives the PDCCH monitor skip information. 【0173】 In one embodiment, if PDCCH monitor skip information instructs the terminal to skip PDCCH monitoring on the primary carrier and to start a random access process on the primary carrier, the terminal prematurely terminates the PDCCH monitoring skip on the primary carrier. That is, the PDCCH skip is affected. The timer that stops monitoring on the primary carrier is stopped, and the primary carrier enters the activation time or activation state. 【0174】 In one embodiment, if PDCCH monitor skip information instructs the terminal to skip PDCCH monitoring on the secondary carrier and to start a random access process on the secondary carrier, the terminal prematurely terminates the PDCCH monitoring skip on the primary carrier.
