DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION CONFIGURATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18489549 titled 'DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION CONFIGURATION METHOD AND APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a terminal device that receives discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration information from a network device. The DRX configuration information includes the configuration of a first DRX, which includes a cycle length. Based on this information, the terminal device determines when to receive a downlink signal within specific onDuration time intervals. The second onDuration is the next onDuration after the first onDuration, and the time interval between their start locations is greater than the cycle length of the first DRX.
- The patent/application involves a terminal device and a network device.
- The terminal device receives DRX configuration information from the network device.
- The DRX configuration information includes the configuration of a first DRX, including its cycle length.
- Based on the DRX configuration information, the terminal device determines when to receive a downlink signal within specific onDuration time intervals.
- The second onDuration is the next onDuration after the first onDuration.
- The time interval between the start locations of the first and second onDurations is greater than the cycle length of the first DRX.
Potential Applications:
- Wireless communication systems

Original Abstract Submitted
A terminal device receives discontinuous reception DRX configuration information from a network device, where the DRX configuration information includes at least configuration information of a first DRX, and the configuration information of the first DRX includes a cycle length of the first DRX; and determines, based on the DRX configuration information, to receive a downlink signal within at least first onDuration and second onDuration, where the second onDuration is next onDuration of the first onDuration, and a time interval between a start location of the first onDuration and a start location of the second onDuration is greater than the cycle length of the first DRX.
