US 2022/0069967 A1 · TIMING CONFIGURATION METHOD AND APPARATUS

Abstract

A timing configuration method and apparatus, the method being used in a base station, the base station configuring at least one bandwidth part BWP for a terminal, and the method comprising: for a first BWP, configuring a corresponding first bandwidth part BWP inactivity timer (110); generating timer configuration information, the timer configuration information being used for indicating the use of the first BWP inactivity timer on the first BWP (120); and sending the timer configuration information to the terminal, so that the terminal uses the first BWP inactivity timer on the first BWP on the basis of the timer configuration information (130). The present method implements dynamic configuration of a BWP inactivity timer on each BWP, increasing the flexibility of timer configuration and reducing power consumption.
