DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18352443 titled 'DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
This patent application describes a method for controlling the reception of data in a communication apparatus. The method involves receiving control information for scheduling multicast data transmission and performing various actions based on this information.
- The method includes starting or restarting a timer that indicates the duration after new control information or data is scheduled.
- It also involves stopping or starting/restarting a timer that indicates the duration for receiving retransmitted data.
- Additionally, the method includes starting or restarting a timer that indicates the waiting duration before receiving the retransmitted data.
These timers are associated with Discontinuous Reception (DRX) for multicast communication.
Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments of this application provide a discontinuous reception control method, the method is as follows: receiving first control information transmitted in a unicast manner, where the first control information is for scheduling first data transmitted in a multicast manner; and performing, by a communication apparatus, any one or more of the following actions: starting or restarting a first timer, where the first timer indicates duration after newly transmitted control information or newly transmitted data is scheduled; stopping a second timer, or starting or restarting a second timer, where the second timer indicates duration in which the communication apparatus receives retransmitted data; and starting or restarting a third timer, where the third timer indicates waiting duration before the communication apparatus receives the retransmitted data, where the timers are timers corresponding to DRX associated with multicast.
