Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and devices for discontinuous transmission or discontinuous reception. A terminal device receives a DTX or DRX configuration indicating configuration information on a DTX or DRX mode of the network device. The terminal device monitors a downlink transmission or performs an uplink transmission based on one or more conditions regardless of the cell DTX or DRX configuration. In this way, an improved solution for communication on the DTX or DRX mode may be provided, which may meet certain services with low latency requirement.
Claims18
A terminal device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more transceivers communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are configured, with the one or more transceivers, to cause the terminal device to perform at least:
- receiving, from a network device, a discontinuous transmission (DTX) configuration, wherein the DTX configuration indicates configuration information on a DTX mode of the network device;
- transmitting, to the network device, a scheduling request which follows a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration of the network device, wherein the scheduling request is associated with a beam failure recovery report;
- and
- within a predetermined time period after the transmitting the scheduling request, monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) from the network device based on one or more conditions regardless of the DTX configuration, wherein the one or more conditions comprises a condition that a scheduling request is transmitted.
