Abstract

A method of controlling monitoring of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in user equipment (UE), the method including receiving wake up signal (WUS) configuration information from a base station; monitoring a WUS transmitted from the base station based on the WUS configuration information; detecting the WUS based on the monitoring; and monitoring at least one search space associated with the detected WUS.

Claims (27)

1. A method, performed by a user equipment (UE), of controlling monitoring of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the method comprising:

receiving wake up signal (WUS) configuration information from a base station;

monitoring a WUS transmitted from the base station based on the WUS configuration information;

detecting the WUS based on the monitoring; and

monitoring at least one search space associated with the detected WUS,

wherein the at least one search space associated with the detected WUS is determined based on a search space index received from the base station, the search space index is included in an upper layer signaling, a downlink control information (DCI), or a media access control (MAC) control element (MAC CE) received from the base station and the DCI or the MAC CE comprises a WUS activation message.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one search space associated with the detected WUS is determined based on a search space type, and the search space type comprises at least one of a UE-specific search space (USS) or a Type-3 common search space (CSS).

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the Type-3 CSS comprises a CSS in which downlink control information including a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by one of an interruption radio network temporary identifier (INT-RNTI), a slot format indication RNTI (SFI-RNTI), a transmit power control physical uplink shared channel RNTI (TPC-PUSCH-RNTI), a transmit power control physical uplink control channel RNTI (TPC-PUCCH-RNTI), a transmit power control-sounding reference symbols RNTI (TPC-SRS-RNTI), a cell RNTI (C-RNTI), a configured scheduling RNTI (CS-RNTI), or a modulation coding scheme cell RNTI (MCS-C-RNTI) is monitored.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one search space associated with the detected WUS comprises all search spaces configured by the base station.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the search space index is included in the detected WUS.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the monitoring of the at least one search space associated with the detected WUS comprises:

monitoring a search space not associated with the detected WUS.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the monitoring of the at least one search space associated with the detected WUS comprises not monitoring a search space not associated with the detected WUS.

8. A user equipment (UE) for controlling monitoring of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive wake up signal (WUS) configuration information from a base station,

monitor a WUS transmitted from the base station based on the WUS configuration information,

detect the WUS based on the monitoring, and

monitor at least one search space associated with the detected WUS,

wherein the at least one search space associated with the detected WUS is determined based on a search space index received from the base station, the search space index is included in an upper layer signaling, a downlink control information (DCI), or a media access control (MAC) control element (MAC CE) received from the base station and the DCI or the MAC CE comprises a WUS activation message.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the at least one search space associated with the detected WUS is determined based on a search space type, and the search space type comprises at least one of a UE-specific search space (USS) or a Type-3 common search space (CSS).

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the Type-3 CSS comprises a CSS in which downlink control information including a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by one of an interruption radio network temporary identifier (INT-RNTI), a slot format indication RNTI (SFI-RNTI), a transmit power control physical uplink shared channel RNTI (TPC-PUSCH-RNTI), a transmit power control physical uplink control channel RNTI (TPC-PUCCH-RNTI), a transmit power control-sounding reference symbols RNTI (TPC-SRS-RNTI), a cell RNTI (C-RNTI), a configured scheduling RNTI (CS-RNTI), or a modulation coding scheme cell RNTI (MCS-C-RNTI) is monitored.

11. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the at least one search space associated with the detected WUS comprises all search spaces configured by the base station.

12. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the search space index is included in the detected WUS.

13. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the controller is configured to monitor a search space not associated with the detected WUS.

14. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the controller is configured to not monitor a search space not associated with the detected WUS.
