Patent ID: 11968623

Abstract:
A method and apparatus provide for receiving a discontinuous reception configuration, and receiving a configuration of a physical downlink control channel carrying a power saving downlink control information format, wherein the configuration includes an offset value with respect to a starting time of a discontinuous reception cycle of the discontinuous reception configuration. The power saving downlink control information format is detected at one of one or more monitoring occasions of the physical downlink control channel carrying the power saving downlink control information format. A determination is then made as to whether to start a drx-onDurationTimer its a following discontinuous reception cycle of the discontinuous reception configuration based on a wake-up indication of the power saving downlink control information format. The one or more monitoring occasions is determined, based upon the offset value, the starting time of the discontinuous reception cycle, and at least one search space configuration of the physical downlink control channel carrying the power saving downlink control information format.
