Discontinuous reception configuration method and device

A network-side device, comprising:

• a memory, a processor, and programs or instructions stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the programs or instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the network-side device to perform:
• configuring a first timer;
• and
• sending configuration information, wherein the configuration information is used to instruct the terminal device to suspend running of the first timer in a case that a time unit corresponding to the first timer meets a first condition after the first timer is started or restarted;
• wherein the first condition comprises at least one of following that:
• the time unit is a downlink time unit, wherein the downlink time unit comprises at least one of the following:
• a semi-static downlink time unit or a downlink time unit indicated by indication signaling in a subframe format;
• the time unit is a flexible time unit;
• there is a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion in the time unit;
• or
• there is a PDCCH monitoring occasion of a first search space or a first search space group in the time unit;
• wherein the method further comprises:
• configuring a start time offset rule, wherein the start time offset rule is used to determine a target start time of the first timer, the start time offset rule is related to a first time range, and the first time range is related to an initial start time of the first timer;
• wherein
• in a case that a second time unit in which the initial start time is located meets the first condition and/or a second condition, the target start time is the initial start time;
• and
• in a case that the second time unit in which the initial start time is located does not meet the first condition and/or the second condition, the target start time is a start time of a third time unit;
• wherein the third time unit is the time unit that meets the first condition and/or the second condition within the first time range and is closest to the initial start time;
• wherein the second condition is:
• in the first timer started at the target start time, a ratio of a number of time units meeting the first condition to a total number of time units corresponding to the first timer is greater than or equal to a second ratio, and the second ratio is greater than 0 and less than 1.

A terminal device, comprising:

• a memory, a processor, and programs or instructions stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the programs or instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the terminal device to perform:
• starting or restarting a first timer;
• and
• suspending running of the first timer in a case that a time unit corresponding to the first timer does not meet a first condition;
• wherein the first condition comprises at least one of following that:
• the time unit is a downlink time unit, wherein the downlink time unit comprises at least one of the following:
• a semi-static downlink time unit or a downlink time unit indicated by indication signaling in a subframe format;
• the time unit is a flexible time unit;
• there is a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion in the time unit;
• or
• there is a PDCCH monitoring occasion of a first search space or a first search space group in the time unit;
• wherein the programs or instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the terminal device to further perform:
• determining a target start time of the first timer according to a start time offset rule;
• wherein the start time offset rule is related to a first time range, and the first time range is related to an initial start time of the first timer;
• wherein the programs or instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the terminal device to perform:
• in a case that a second time unit in which the initial start time is located meets the first condition and/or a second condition, determining the initial start time as the target start time;
• and
• in a case that the second time unit in which the initial start time is located does not meet the first condition and/or the second condition, determining a start time of a third time unit as the target start time;
• wherein the third time unit is the time unit that meets the first condition and/or the second condition within the first time range and is closest to the initial start time;
• wherein the second condition is:
• in the first timer started at the target start time, a ratio of a number of time units meeting the first condition to a total number of time units corresponding to the first timer is greater than or equal to a second ratio, and the second ratio is greater than 0 and less than 1.
