Abstract
This application provides a signal monitoring method and an apparatus, to reduce power consumption of a terminal device. The method includes: receiving, by a terminal device, a downlink signal; and monitoring, by the terminal device, a first type of signal in the downlink signal, where the first type of signal is a signal used to indicate power consumption reduction information, the terminal device does not monitor a second type of signal when monitoring the first type of signal, and the second type of signal is a signal used to indicate data scheduling.
Claims20
A signal monitoring method, comprising:
- receiving, by a terminal device, a downlink signal;
- and
- monitoring, by the terminal device, a first type of signal in the downlink signal, wherein the terminal device does not monitor a second type of signal when monitoring the first type of signal, and wherein the first type of signal is downlink control information (DCI) and the first type of signal indicates power consumption reduction information, and the second type of signal is DCI with a different format from the first type of signal and the second type of signal indicates data scheduling;
- and
- monitoring, by the terminal device, the second type of signal in the downlink signal, wherein the terminal device does not monitor the first type of signal when monitoring the second type of signal.
A terminal device, comprising:
- a non-transitory memory storage comprising instructions;
- and
- one or more hardware processors in communication with the non-transitory memory storage, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to:
- receive a downlink signal;
- and
- monitor a first type of signal in the downlink signal, wherein the terminal device does not monitor a second type of signal when monitoring the first type of signal, and wherein the first type of signal is DCI and the first type of signal indicate power consumption reduction information, and the second type of signal is DCI with a different format from the first type of signal and the second type of signal indicates data scheduling;
- monitoring, by the terminal device, the second type of signal in the downlink signal, wherein the terminal device does not monitor the first type of signal when monitoring the second type of signal.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer instructions, that when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by a terminal device, a downlink signal;
- and
- monitoring, by the terminal device, a first type of signal in the downlink signal, wherein the terminal device does not monitor a second type of signal when monitoring the first type of signal, and wherein the first type of signal is DCI and the first type of signal indicates power consumption reduction information, and the second type of signal is DCI with a different format from the first type of signal and the second type of signal indicates data scheduling;
- monitoring, by the terminal device, the second type of signal in the downlink signal, wherein the terminal device does not monitor the first type of signal when monitoring the second type of signal.
