Abstract
This application provides a communication method and a device, to reduce power consumption of a terminal. In this application, a network device sends first signaling, where the first signaling indicates a length and/or a start time unit of each DRX cycle in a plurality of DRX cycles, and at least two DRX cycles in the plurality of DRX cycles have different lengths. The network device performs information transmission based on the plurality of determined DRX cycles. Therefore, power consumption of the terminal device can be reduced.
Claims18
A communication method, comprising:
- sending first signaling, wherein the first signaling indicates at least one of a length or a start time unit of each discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle in a plurality of DRX cycles, and wherein at least two DRX cycles of the plurality of DRX cycles have different lengths;
- and
- performing information transmission based on the plurality of DRX cycles, wherein the start time unit of each DRX cycle of the plurality of DRX cycles is determined based on a period, wherein the period is an arrival period of a packet.
A communication method, comprising:
- receiving first signaling, wherein the first signaling indicates at least one of a length or a start time unit of each discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle of a plurality of discontinuous reception DRX cycles, and at least two DRX cycles of the plurality of DRX cycles have different lengths;
- and
- performing information transmission based on the plurality of DRX cycles, wherein the start time unit of each DRX cycle of the plurality of DRX cycles is determined based on a period, wherein the period is an arrival period of a packet.
