Abstract
A terminal receives a power saving signal sent by a network device, where the power saving signal indicates N time units, and where N is greater than 0. The terminal determines a state of the terminal in a first time period corresponding to the N time units on a first frequency domain resource and a state in a second time period corresponding to the N time units on a second frequency domain resource. The state of the terminal includes a sleep state or a wake-up state. The sleep state indicates that the terminal monitors no first signal, and the wake-up state indicates that the terminal monitors a first signal based on a configuration parameter.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving a power saving signal from a network device, wherein the power saving signal indicates N time units, and wherein N is an integer greater than 0;
- and
- obtaining, based on the power saving signal, a first state of a terminal in a first time period corresponding to the N time units on a first frequency domain resource and a second state in a second time period corresponding to the N time units on a second frequency domain resource,
- wherein a first sub-carrier spacing of the first frequency domain resource is different than a second sub-carrier spacing of the second frequency domain resource,
- wherein the first frequency domain resource and the second frequency domain resource comprise different numbers of monitoring occasions within the N time units,
- wherein each of the first state and the second state is a sleep state or a wake-up state,
- wherein the sleep state indicates that the terminal does not monitor a first signal, and
- wherein the wake-up state indicates that the terminal monitors the first signal based on a configuration parameter.

A method, comprising:
- sending a power saving signal to a terminal, wherein the power saving signal indicates N time units, wherein N is an integer greater than 0, wherein the power saving signal indicates a first state of the terminal in a first time period corresponding to the N time units on a first frequency domain resource and a second state in a second time period corresponding to the N time units on a second frequency domain resource, wherein a first sub-carrier spacing of the first frequency domain resource is different than a second sub-carrier spacing of the second frequency domain resource, wherein the first frequency domain resource and the second frequency domain resource comprise different numbers of monitoring occasions within the N time units, wherein each of the first state and the second state is a sleep state or a wake-up state, wherein the sleep state indicates that the terminal does not monitor a first signal, and wherein the wake-up state indicates that the terminal monitors the first signal based on a configuration parameter;
- and
- sending the first signal to the terminal or skipping sending the first signal to the terminal based on the first state or the second state.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to:
- receive a power saving signal from a network device, wherein the power saving signal indicates N time units, and wherein N is an integer greater than 0;
- and
- obtain, based on the power saving signal, a first state of the apparatus in a first time period corresponding to the N time units on a first frequency domain resource and a second state in a second time period corresponding to the N time units on a second frequency domain resource,
- wherein a first sub-carrier spacing of the first frequency domain resource is different than a second sub-carrier spacing of the second frequency domain resource,
- wherein the first frequency domain resource and the second frequency domain resource comprise different numbers of monitoring occasions within the N time units,
- wherein each of the first state and the second state is a sleep state or a wake-up state,
- wherein the sleep state indicates that the apparatus does not monitor a first signal, and
- wherein the wake-up state indicates that the apparatus monitors the first signal based on a configuration parameter.
