Discontinuous reception method and device
View Patent ↗Provided in the embodiments of the application are a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) method and device. The method includes that: a terminal device determines a first service type, the first service type being a service type of a service which is being transmitted between the terminal device and a network device; the terminal device determines a first length according to the first service type; and the first length is determined by the terminal device as a length of a timer for DRX of the first service type. According to the DRX method and device of the embodiments of the application, the length of the timer for DRX may be flexibly configured, and a signaling overhead is reduced.

selecting, by the terminal device, the first length from a timer length section corresponding to the first service type according to a first mapping relationship, wherein the first mapping relationship is configured to represent a corresponding relationship between at least one service type and at least one timer length section, the first mapping relationship is specified in advance in a protocol, and the at least one service type comprises the first service type;
wherein, under a condition that the timer is a DRX inactivity timer, a HARQ RTT timer or a DRX retransmission timer, the at least one service type corresponds to at least one HARQ process Identifier (ID), and
determining, by the terminal device, the first length according to the first service type comprises:
determining, by the terminal device, a first HARQ process ID according to the first service type, wherein the first HARQ process ID is configured to represent a HARQ process ID corresponding to data transmission; and
determining, by the terminal device, the first length according to the first HARQ process ID.

an on-duration timer, a DRX inactivity timer, a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) Round Trip Time (RTT) timer and a DRX retransmission timer.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining, by the terminal device, the first length according to the first HARQ process ID comprises:
determining, by the terminal device, the first length according to the first HARQ process ID and a second mapping relationship, wherein the second mapping relationship is configured to represent a corresponding relationship between the at least one HARQ process ID and the at least one timer length section, and the at least one HARQ process ID comprises the first HARQ process ID.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the service type is classified according to any one of following information:
a Quality of Service (QoS)-flow-ID, a Data Radio Bearer (DRB), a logical channel and a logical channel group.
5. A Discontinuous Reception (DRX) device, comprising:
a processor, and
a memory configured to store instructions executable by the processor;
wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to implement a method comprising:
determining, by a terminal device, a first service type, wherein the first service type is a service type of a service which is being transmitted between the terminal device and a network device;
determining, by the terminal device, a first length according to the first service type without being indicated by the network device through high-layer signaling; and
determining, by the terminal device, the first length as a length of a timer for DRX of the first service type;
wherein determining, by the terminal device, the first length according to the first service type comprises:
selecting, by the terminal device, the first length from a timer length section corresponding to the first service type according to a first mapping relationship, wherein the first mapping relationship is configured to represent a corresponding relationship between at least one service type and at least one timer length section, the first mapping relationship is specified in advance in a protocol, and the at least one service type comprises the first service type;
wherein under a condition that the timer is a DRX inactivity timer, a HARQ RTT timer or a DRX retransmission timer, the at least one service type corresponds to at least one HARQ process Identifier (ID), and
the processor is configured to:
determine a first HARQ process ID according to the first service type, wherein the first HARQ process ID is configured to represent a HARQ process ID corresponding to data transmission, and
determine the first length according to the first HARQ process ID.
6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the timer is at least one of following timers:
an on-duration timer, a DRX inactivity timer, a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) Round Trip Time (RTT) timer and a DRX retransmission timer.
7. The device of claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to:
determine the first length according to the first HARQ process ID and a second mapping relationship, wherein the second mapping relationship is configured to represent a corresponding relationship between the at least one HARQ process ID and the at least one timer length section, and the at least one HARQ process ID comprises the first HARQ process ID.
