Abstract
This application provides a time configuration method, a network device, and a terminal. A sending time of a reference signal is determined according to an on duration period, or an on duration period is determined according to a sending time of a reference signal, so that the sending time of the reference signal is associated with the on duration period.
Claims16
An apparatus, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the one or more processors and storing program codes to be executed by the one or more processors, the program codes including instructions for:
- determining a sending time of a reference signal according to an overlapping period between a first on duration period of a first user equipment (UE) and a second on duration period of a second UE, wherein the first on duration period and the second on duration period partially overlap in time, and wherein determining the sending time of the reference signal according to the overlapping period between the first on duration period of the first UE and the second on duration period of the second UE comprises:
- determining the sending time of the reference signal according to the first on duration period of the first UE, the second on duration period of the second UE, and a time configuration information table of the reference signal;
- and
- sending the reference signal to the UE.
