Abstract
Disclosed are methods and apparatuses for DTX and DRX operations. A method of a terminal may comprise: receiving cell DTX/DRX configuration information for serving cells including a first serving cell of a base station; receiving DCI including a first field from a second serving cell among the serving cells; entering a cell DTX inactive time in the first serving cell based on the first field; and skipping a reception operation of semi-persistent signals in the cell DTX inactive time of the first serving cell.
Claims20
A method of a terminal, the method comprising:
- receiving cell discontinuous transmission (DTX)/discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration information for serving cells including a first serving cell of a base station;
- receiving downlink control information (DCI) including a first field from a second serving cell among the serving cells;
- entering a cell DTX inactive time in the first serving cell based on the first field;
- and
- skipping a reception operation of semi-persistent signals in the cell DTX inactive time of the first serving cell.
A method of a base station, the method comprising:
- transmitting cell discontinuous transmission (DTX)/discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration information for one or more serving cells to a terminal;
- transmitting downlink control information (DCI) including a first field to the terminal;
- and
- skipping a transmission operation of semi-persistent signals in a cell DTX inactive time according to the first field.
A terminal comprising at least one processor, wherein the processor causes the terminal to perform:
- receiving cell discontinuous transmission (DTX)/discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration information for serving cells including a first serving cell of a base station;
- receiving downlink control information (DCI) including a first field from a second serving cell among the serving cells;
- entering a cell DTX inactive time in the first serving cell based on the first field;
- and
- skipping a reception operation of semi-persistent signals in the cell DTX inactive time of the first serving cell.
