Abstract
Embodiments of the present application provide a method for monitoring a PDCCH, a terminal device, and a network device, capable of reducing power consumption when a terminal device monitors a PDCCH. The method comprises: a terminal device receiving a first message sent by a network device, the first message indicating a first time duration and/or whether to monitor a PDCCH within the first time duration; and the terminal device monitoring the PDCCH according to the first message.
Claims14
A method for monitoring a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), comprising:
- receiving, by a terminal device, a first message sent by a network device;
- and
- not performing monitoring, by the terminal device, the PDCCH within a first time length according to the first message, when the first message indicates not to monitor the PDCCH within the first time length;
- and
- monitoring, by the terminal device, the PDCCH within the first time length according to the first message, when the first message indicates to monitor the PDCCH within the first time length,
- wherein the first message is Downlink Control Information, DCI, used for uplink and downlink scheduling,
- wherein before receiving, by the terminal device, the first message sent by the network device, the method further comprises:
- receiving by the terminal device, second configuration information, wherein the second configuration information is used for indicating the first time length,
- wherein the first message comprises a first bit;
- when the first bit is 0, the first message indicates to monitor the PDCCH within the first time length, and when the first bit is 1, the first message indicates not to monitor the PDCCH within the first time length.
A terminal device, comprising:
- a transceiver, configured to receive a first message sent by a network device;
- and
- a processor, configured to not perform monitoring a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) within a first time length according to the first message, when the first message indicates not to monitor the PDCCH within the first time length;
- and monitor the PDCCH within the first time length according to the first message, when the first message indicates to monitor the PDCCH within the first time length,
- wherein the first message is Downlink Control Information, DCI, used for uplink and downlink scheduling,
- wherein the transceiver is further configured to:
- receive second configuration information, wherein the second configuration information is used for indicating the first time length,
- wherein the first message comprises a first bit;
- when the first bit is 0, the first message indicates to monitor the PDCCH within the first time length, and when the first bit is 1, the first message indicates not to monitor the PDCCH within the first time length.
