EXPANDED SKIPPING OF PDCCH MONITORING

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18837114 titled 'EXPANDED SKIPPING OF PDCCH MONITORING

Original Abstract Submitted

Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to a user equipment (UE) that maintains a set of skipping durations that includes multiple subsets of skipping durations. The base station transmits to the UE a first control signaling indicating to activate one of the subsets of skipping durations. At a subsequent time, the base station transmits to the UE a second control signaling indicating that the UE can skip physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring in some time resources (e.g., slots). The second control signaling includes an identifier of a skipping duration and the UE selects the identified skipping duration in the active subset of skipping duration values. The UE then skips or terminates monitoring of the PDCCH for the selected skipping duration.
