Abstract
A user equipment (UE) starts a downlink (DL) discontinuous reception (DRX) retransmission timer for a DL hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) process of the UE. The UE monitors a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) while the DL DRX retransmission timer for the DL HARQ process is running. The UE stops the DL DRX retransmission timer for the DL HARQ process when the UE receives a PDCCH indicating a uplink (UL) transmission.
Claims14
A method for receiving, by a user equipment (UE), downlink signals in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- starting, by the UE, a downlink (DL) discontinuous reception (DRX) retransmission timer for a DL hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) process of the UE;
- monitoring, by the UE, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) while the DL DRX retransmission timer for the DL HARQ process is running;
- and
- stopping, by the UE, the DL DRX retransmission timer for the DL HARQ process when the UE receives a PDCCH indicating an uplink (UL) transmission,
- wherein, if there are multiple DL DRX retransmission timers running for multiple DL HARQ processes, all of the multiple DL DRX retransmission timers running for the multiple DL HARQ processes are stopped when the UE receives the PDCCH indicating the UL transmission.
A user equipment (UE) for receiving downlink signals in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- start a downlink (DL) discontinuous reception (DRX) retransmission timer for a DL hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) process of the UE;
- monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) while the DL DRX retransmission timer for the DL HARQ process is running;
- and
- stop the DL DRX retransmission timer for the DL HARQ process when the UE receives a PDCCH indicating an uplink (UL) transmission,
- wherein, if there are multiple DL DRX retransmission timers running for multiple DL HARQ processes, the processor is configured to stop all of the multiple DL DRX retransmission timers running for the multiple DL HARQ processes when the UE receives the PDCCH indicating the UL transmission.
