Abstract
Systems, apparatus and method for wireless communication are described. One example method for wireless communication includes determining, by a wireless device, to perform a control channel skipping behavior mode for monitoring a control channel; and monitoring, by the wireless device, subsequent to the determining, the control channels according to the control channel skipping behavior mode.
Claims11
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving, by a wireless device, in different downlink control informations (DCIs) in a first slot, indications of skipping monitoring modes for a plurality of control channels for a control channel skipping period, wherein the wireless device does not expect that the indications of skipping monitoring modes are inconsistent, wherein inconsistent indications of skipping monitoring modes are at least one of:
- (i) a first DCI that indicates a first skipping time period and a second DCI that indicates a second skipping time period, or
- (ii) a first DCI that indicates a first skipping monitoring mode in which the wireless device does not skip control channel monitoring and a second DCI that indicates a second skipping monitoring mode in which the wireless device does a skipping of the control channel monitoring;
- determining, by a wireless device, a skipping monitoring mode for the plurality of control channels based on at least one of the indications received in the different DCIs;
- and
- performing, by the wireless device, the skipping control channel monitoring mode at a second slot after the first slot in which the different DCIs are received.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising a memory and processor electronics, wherein the processor electronics executes instructions stored on the memory to cause a wireless device to:
- receive, in different downlink control informations (DCIs) in a first slot, indications of skipping monitoring modes for a plurality of control channels for a control channel skipping period, wherein the wireless device does not expect that the indications of skipping monitoring modes are inconsistent, wherein inconsistent indications of skipping monitoring modes are at least one of:
- (i) a first DCI that indicates a first skipping time period and a second DCI that indicates a second skipping time period, or
- ii) a first DCI that indicates a first skipping monitoring mode in which the wireless device does not skip control channel monitoring and a second DCI that indicates a second skipping monitoring mode in which the wireless device does a skipping of the control channel monitoring;
- determine a skipping monitoring mode for the plurality of control channels based on at least one of the indications received in the different DCIs;
- and
- perform the skipping control channel monitoring mode at a second slot after the first slot in which the different DCIs are is received.
