Monitoring method and device, and readable storage medium

A monitoring method, performed by a network device, comprising:

• sending, on a first serving cell, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring adaptation indication to a user equipment, wherein the PDCCH monitoring adaptation indication is configured to indicate the user equipment to determine to perform PDCCH monitoring in the first serving cell according to the PDCCH monitoring adaptation indication;
• wherein the PDCCH monitoring adaptation indication is further configured to indicate the user equipment to determine to perform, according to the PDCCH monitoring adaptation indication, the PDCCH monitoring in each of serving cells in a cell group to which the first serving cell belongs;
• wherein a number of bits occupied by a PDCCH monitoring adaptation bit field corresponding to a monitoring configuration of an active bandwidth portion (BWP) of each of the serving cells in the cell group is a same, and the monitoring configuration comprises a PDCCH skipping configuration and a search space set group (SSSG) configuration;
• or
• a number of bits occupied by a PDCCH monitoring adaptation bit field corresponding to a monitoring configuration of a configured BWP of each of the serving cells in the cell group is the same, and the monitoring configuration comprises the PDCCH skipping configuration and the SSSG configuration.

A communication device, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory that stores a computer program;
• and
• wherein the computer program, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the communication device to:
• receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring adaptation indication on a first serving cell;
• and
• determine that a user equipment performs PDCCH monitoring in the first serving cell according to the PDCCH monitoring adaptation indication;
• wherein the computer program, when executed by the one or more processors, further causes the communication device to:
• determine that the user equipment performs, according to the PDCCH monitoring adaptation indication, the PDCCH monitoring in each of serving cells in a cell group to which the first serving cell belongs;
• wherein a number of bits occupied by a PDCCH monitoring adaptation bit field corresponding to a monitoring configuration of an active bandwidth portion (BWP) of each of the serving cells in the cell group is a same, and the monitoring configuration comprises a PDCCH skipping configuration and a search space set group (SSSG) configuration;
• or
• a number of bits occupied by a PDCCH monitoring adaptation bit field corresponding to a monitoring configuration of a configured BWP of each of the serving cells in the cell group is the same, and the monitoring configuration comprises the PDCCH skipping configuration and the SSSG configuration.
