METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SAVING POWER OF USER EQUIPMENT IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18349540 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SAVING POWER OF USER EQUIPMENT IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. Here are the key points:
- The UE receives higher layer signaling from a base station, which includes a power saving offset (PS-offset) indicating the first start time for the UE.
- The UE monitors the physical downlink channel (PDCCH) for downlink control information (DCI) that notifies power saving information outside of a discontinuous reception (DRX) active time.
- The UE also receives parameters indicating a search space for monitoring the PDCCH.
- Based on the PS-offset and the search space parameters, the UE identifies at least one PDCCH monitoring occasion for the DCI.
- The UE then monitors the DCI on the identified PDCCH monitoring occasion(s).
Overall, this method allows the UE to efficiently monitor and receive power saving information during specific time intervals in a wireless communication system.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is provided. The method comprises: receiving, from a base station, higher layer signaling comprising a power saving offset (PS-offset) indicating a first start time when the UE starts, prior to a second start time of a drx-onDuration timer, monitoring physical downlink channel (PDCCH) for downlink control information (DCI) notifying power saving information outside a discontinuous reception (DRX) active time and parameters indicating a search space; identifying at least one PDCCH monitoring occasion for the DCI based on the PS-offset and the parameters indicating the search space; and monitoring the DCI on the at least one PDCCH monitoring occasion.
