COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, BASE STATION, AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18500833 titled 'COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, BASE STATION, AND METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The communication apparatus described in the patent application is designed to efficiently manage the monitoring of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a wireless communication system.

  • The communicator receives a radio resource control (RRC) message from a base station, which includes information about skipping durations for monitoring the PDCCH.
  • The communicator also receives downlink control information (DCI) through the PDCCH, which contains details related to the monitoring of the PDCCH.
  • The controller in the communication apparatus controls the skipping of PDCCH monitoring based on the information set in the DCI field.
  • The controller ensures that the skipping of PDCCH monitoring is not executed when a timer related to retransmission for discontinuous reception (DRX) operation is in operation.

Original Abstract Submitted

A communication apparatus comprises: a communicator configured to receive, from a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message including information configuring a skipping duration during which monitoring of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) is skipped, and to receive, from the base station and through the PDCCH, downlink control information (DCI) including an information field related to the monitoring of the PDCCH; and a controller configured to control, based on a value set in the information field, skipping of the monitoring of the PDCCH over the skipping duration. The controller is configured to perform control so as not to execute the skipping of the monitoring of the PDCCH while a timer is in operation, the timer being related to retransmission for a discontinuous reception (DRX) operation.
