Abstract
One embodiment of the present description provides a method for monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The method for monitoring a PDCCH can comprise the steps of: performing a frequency division duplex (FDD) half-duplex operation; and determining whether to monitor the PDCCH if discontinuous reception (DRX) is set. Here, when a downlink subframe of a downlink carrier is positioned immediately before an uplink subframe of an uplink carrier, the PDCCH can be monitored in the downlink subframe during an active time.
Claims16
A method for monitoring a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), the method performed by a terminal and comprising:
- performing a half-duplex operation in a frequency division duplex (FDD);
- and
- determining whether to monitor a PDCCH when a discontinuous reception (DRX) is configured;
- wherein during an active time, the PDCCH is monitored on a downlink subframe, when the downlink subframe of a downlink carrier does not immediately precedes an uplink subframe of an uplink carrier.
A terminal for monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the terminal comprising:
- an RF unit;
- and
- a processor controlling the RF unit and configured to determine whether to monitor the PDCCH when discontinuous reception (DRX) is configured while performing a frequency division duplex (FDD) half-duplex operation,
- wherein during an active time, the PDCCH is monitored on a downlink subframe, when the downlink subframe of a downlink carrier does not immediately precedes an uplink subframe of an uplink carrier.
