Abstract
A configuration to allow a UE to determine if a detected PDCCH corresponds to a linked PDCCH candidate with repetition. The apparatus monitors for a PDCCH based on a DRX configuration, the DRX configuration having an inactivity timer. The apparatus determines whether the PDCCH corresponds to a linked PDCCH candidate and a new transmission is scheduled, wherein the linked PDCCH candidate is comprised of two or more PDCCH repetitions. The apparatus starts the inactivity timer in a first symbol after an end of at least one of the two or more PDCCH repetitions.
Claims30
An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- monitor for a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) based on a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration, the DRX configuration having an inactivity timer;
- determine whether the PDCCH corresponds to a linked PDCCH candidate and a new transmission is scheduled, wherein the linked PDCCH candidate is comprised of two or more PDCCH repetitions;
- and
- start the inactivity timer in a first symbol after an end of at least one of the two or more PDCCH repetitions.
A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- monitoring for a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) based on a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration, the DRX configuration having an inactivity timer;
- determining whether the PDCCH corresponds to a linked PDCCH candidate and a new transmission is scheduled, wherein the linked PDCCH candidate is comprised of two or more PDCCH repetitions;
- and
- starting the inactivity timer in a first symbol after an end of at least one of the two or more PDCCH repetitions.
An apparatus for wireless communication at a base station, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- configure a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration having an inactivity timer;
- and
- transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) based on the DRX configuration, wherein the UE determines whether the PDCCH corresponds to a linked PDCCH candidate and a new transmission is scheduled, wherein the linked PDCCH candidate is comprised of two or more PDCCH repetitions.
A method of wireless communication at a base station, comprising:
- configuring a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration having an inactivity timer;
- and
- transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) based on the DRX configuration, wherein the UE determines whether the PDCCH corresponds to a linked PDCCH candidate and a new transmission is scheduled, wherein the linked PDCCH candidate is comprised of two or more PDCCH repetitions.
