Abstract
The present application relates to a DRX method in a CoMP scenario. In one embodiment, the DRX method comprises steps of detecting a new transmission on a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) of one of at least two Base Stations (BSs) each of which is serving the UE; and triggering a DRX thread for continuously monitoring the PDCCH of the one BS on which the new transmission is detected. There is also provided a user equipment using the DRX method.
Claims26
A Discontinuous Reception (DRX) method of a User Equipment (UE) in a DRX mode, comprising steps of:
- detecting a new transmission on a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) of one of at least two Base Stations (BSs) each of which is serving the UE;
- and
- triggering a DRX thread for continuously monitoring the PDCCH of the one BS on which the new transmission is detected.
A User Equipment (UE) operating in a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) mode, comprising:
- a detection unit configured to detect a new transmission on a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) of one of at least two Base Stations (BSs) each of which is serving the UE;
- and
- a DRX control unit configured to control DRX cycle of the UE, wherein the DRX control unit is configured to trigger a DRX thread for continuously monitoring the PDCCH in response to the detection unit the new transmission on the PDCCH.
