Abstract
A method of a user equipment (UE) for controlling a signal comprises receiving configuration information for enabling or disabling a signal transmission, receiving a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) conveying a first downlink control information (DCI) format, decoding the first DCI format, determining whether the first DCI format is correctly decoded; and transmitting the signal or suspending a transmission of the signal according to the configuration information when the first DCI format is not correctly decoded.
Claims20
A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), wherein the PDCCH provides a downlink control information (DCI) format;
- determining, based on first information in the DCI format, a first number of slots on a first cell;
- and
- skipping receptions of first physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) or of first channel state information reference signals (CSI-RSs) over the first number of slots on the first cell.
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), wherein the PDCCH provides a downlink control information (DCI) format;
- and
- a processor, operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to determine, based on first information in the DCI format, a first number of slots on a first cell,
- wherein the transceiver is further configured to skip receptions of first physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) or of first channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) over the first number of slots on the first cell.
A base station, comprising:
- a processor configured to determine a first number of slots;
- and
- a transceiver, operably coupled to the processor, the transceiver configured to transmit a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), wherein:
- the PDCCH provides a downlink control information (DCI) format,
- the DCI format includes first information for the first number of slots, and
- the transceiver is further configured to skip transmissions of physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) or of channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) over the first number of slots.
