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:
- sending, by a network device, a first message to a terminal device;
- wherein when the first message indicates not to monitor a PDCCH within a first time length, the first message is used for the terminal device not to perform monitoring the PDCCH within the first time length;
- and when the first message indicates to monitor the PDCCH within the first time length, the first message is used for the terminal device 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 sending, by the network device, the first message to the terminal device, the method further comprises:
- sending, by the network 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 network device, comprising:
- a transceiver, configured to send a first message to a terminal device;
- wherein when the first message indicates not to monitor a PDCCH within a first time length, the first message is used for the terminal device not to perform monitoring the PDCCH within the first time length;
- and when the first message indicates to monitor the PDCCH within the first time length, the first message is used for the terminal device 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 send 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.
