Abstract
A method of monitoring a control channel in a wireless communication system includes monitoring a physical down-link control channel (PDCCH) during a monitored duration, wherein the monitored duration is a part of a discontinuous reception (DRX) period, the DRX period specifying the periodic repetition of the monitored duration followed by a non-monitored duration. By monitoring a control channel during a DRX period, battery consumption of a user equipment can be reduced and an operation time of the user equipment can be increased.

A method of monitoring a control channel in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- a user equipment (UE) waking during a discontinuous reception (DRX) period;
- and
- monitoring, by the UE after waking, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) during a monitored duration,
- wherein the UE continues to monitor the PDCCH during an extended period after the monitored duration if the PDCCH is successfully decoded by the UE during the monitored duration.
A method of monitoring a control channel in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- a user equipment (UE) waking during a discontinuous reception (DRX) period;
- and
- monitoring, by the UE after waking, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) during a monitored duration,
- wherein the UE enters a sleep mode during the DRX period if the PDCCH is not successfully decoded by the UE during the monitored duration.
A mobile terminal for monitoring a control channel in a wireless communication system, the mobile terminal comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- wake during a discontinuous reception (DRX) period, and
- monitor, after waking, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) during a monitored duration, the PDCCH comprising resource allocation information from a network,
- wherein the processor is configured to continue to monitor the PDCCH during an extended period after the monitored duration if the PDCCH is successfully decoded during the monitored duration.
A mobile terminal for monitoring a control channel in a wireless communication system, the mobile terminal comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- wake during a discontinuous reception (DRX) period, and
- monitor, after waking, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) during a monitored duration, the PDCCH comprising resource allocation information from a network,
- wherein the processor is configured to enter a sleep mode during the DRX period if the PDCCH is not successfully decoded during the monitored duration.
