Monitoring a pdcch providing a network operation state

A user equipment (UE) comprising:

• a transceiver configured to receive:
• first information related to one or more sets of parameters associated with respective one or more cell discontinuous transmission (DTX) or cell discontinuous reception (DRX) configurations on a cell, wherein the one or more sets of parameters include:
• a periodicity,
• a start offset, and
• an on-duration timer;
• second information related to a reception of an indication for activation or deactivation of the cell DTX or the cell DRX from the one or more cell DTX or cell DRX configurations;
• and
• the indication based on the second information;
• and
• a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to determine one of:
• an active period and an inactive period of the cell DTX based on the indication and the first information;
• or
• an active period and an inactive period of the cell DRX based on the indication and the first information,
• wherein the transceiver is further configured to one of:
• receive channels or signals on the cell based on the determined active and inactive periods of the cell DTX;
• or
• transmit channels or signals on the cell based on the determined active and inactive periods of the cell DRX.

A base station (BS) comprising:

• a transceiver configured to transmit:
• first information related to one or more sets of parameters associated with respective one or more cell discontinuous transmission (DTX) or cell discontinuous reception (DRX) configurations on a cell, wherein the one or more sets of parameters include:
• a periodicity,
• a start offset, and
• an on-duration timer;
• second information related to a transmission of an indication for activation or deactivation of the cell DTX or the cell DRX from the one or more cell DTX or cell DRX configurations;
• and
• the indication based on the second information;
• and
• a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to determine one of:
• an active period and an inactive period of the cell DTX based on the indication and the first information;
• or
• an active period and an inactive period of the cell DRX based on the indication and the first information,
• wherein the transceiver is further configured to one of:
• transmit channels or signals on the cell based on the determined active and inactive periods of the cell DTX;
• or
• receive channels or signals on the cell based on the determined active and inactive periods of the cell DRX.
