US 12,004,081 B2 · Communication method and device

Abstract

A communication method includes: when a network device meets an enabling condition, sending, by the network device, configuration information to a terminal, where the configuration information includes at least one of a type of indication information, a form of the indication information, or a receiving location of the indication information; and sending the indication information to the terminal, where the indication information is used to indicate the terminal whether to monitor a physical downlink control channel PDCCH, or indicate the terminal to monitor a PDCCH, or indicate the terminal not to monitor a PDCCH; or the indication information is used to indicate the terminal whether to receive a physical downlink shared channel PDSCH, or indicate the terminal to receive a PDSCH, or indicate the terminal not to receive a PDSCH. This improves flexibility of using the indication information (for example, a UPSS) by the terminal.

Dependent claims

A communication method, comprising:

determining, by a network device, whether the network device meets an enabling condition in response to a service feature meeting a preset condition, wherein the service feature comprises a terminal power consumption generated by a service;
sending, by the network device in response to the network device meeting the enabling condition, configuration information to a terminal, wherein the configuration information comprises at least one of (1) a type of indication information, (2) a form of the indication information, or (3) a receiving location of the indication information;
and
processing, by the terminal, the configuration information received from the network device to determine whether the indication information indicates to the terminal the terminal is to at least one of:
determine whether to monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH);
monitor the PDCCH;
not monitor the PDCCH;
determine whether to receive a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH);
receive the PDSCH;
or
not receive the PDSCH.

A communications apparatus, comprising:

a processor that, upon executing instructions, causes the communications apparatus to:
process configuration information received from a network device, wherein the configuration information is sent by the network device based on a determination that the network device meets an enabling condition, the network device determines the enabling condition is met in response to a service feature meeting a preset condition, the service feature comprises a terminal power consumption generated by a service, and the configuration information includes at least one of (1) a type of indication information, (2) a form of the indication information, or (3) a receiving location of the indication information;
activate a configuration based on the configuration information received from the network device;
and
determine, based on the indication information, to at least one of:
determine whether to monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH);
monitor the PDCCH;
not monitor the PDCCH;
determine whether to receive a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH);
receive the PDSCH;
or
not receive the PDSCH.
