Abstract

One disclosure in the present specification presents a method for a wireless device to receive a paging message. The method may comprise: a step of deciding a wake up signal occasion (WUSO) window for attempting to receive a wake up signal (WUS); and a step of monitoring a downlink control channel during a paging window so as to attempt to receive a paging message, if the WUS is received within the decided WUSO window. Here, the WUSO window may be decided according to a duration size and offset.

Claims (39)

1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) and comprising:

obtaining information for a period to monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH);

monitoring downlink control information (DCI) on a physical channel, wherein the DCI comprises wake-up information of which size is 1 bit, and wherein the wake-up information set to a first bit value informs to monitor the PDCCH in the period, and the wake-up information set to a second bit value informs not to monitor the PDCCH in the period;

detecting the DCI;

determining whether to monitor the PDCCH in the period based on the wake-up information in the detected DCI; and

monitoring the PDCCH in the period based on the wake-up information being set to the first bit value.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI is designed with UE-specific configured power saving information, and

wherein the UE-specific configured power saving information is configured based on a higher layer.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the higher layer is a radio resource control (RRC) layer.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the UE-specific configured power saving information includes position information related to the DCI.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the period comprises an on-duration of a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on a first resource for the DCI overlapping a second resource for measurement, the UE does not monitor the DCI on the first resource.

7. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

a transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

obtaining information for a period to monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH);

monitoring downlink control information (DCI) on a physical channel, wherein the DCI comprises wake-up information of which size is 1 bit, and wherein the wake-up information set to a first bit value informs to monitor the PDCCH in the period, and the wake-up information set to a second bit value informs not to monitor the PDCCH in the period;

detecting the DCI;

determining whether to monitor the PDCCH in the period based on the wake-up information in the detected DCI; and

monitoring the PDCCH in the period based on the wake-up information being set to the first bit value.

8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the DCI is designed with UE-specific configured power saving information, and

wherein the UE-specific configured power saving information is configured based on a higher layer.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the higher layer is a radio resource control (RRC) layer.

10. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the UE-specific configured power saving information includes position information related to the DCI.

11. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the period comprises an on-duration of a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle.

12. The UE of claim 7 , wherein, based on a first resource for the DCI overlapping a second resource for measurement, the UE does not monitor the DCI on the first resource.

13. At least one computer memory operably connectable to at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, control a user equipment (UE) to perform operations comprising:

obtaining information for a period to monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH);

monitoring downlink control information (DCI) on a physical channel, wherein the DCI comprises wake-up information of which size is 1 bit, and wherein the wake-up information set to a first bit value informs to monitor the PDCCH in the period, and the wake-up information set to a second bit value informs not to monitor the PDCCH in the period;

detecting the DCI;

determining whether to monitor the PDCCH in the period based on the wake-up information in the detected DCI; and

monitoring the PDCCH in the period based on the wake-up information being set to the first bit value.

14. The at least one computer memory of claim 13 , wherein the DCI is designed with UE-specific configured power saving information, and

wherein the UE-specific configured power saving information is configured based on a higher layer.

15. The at least one computer memory of claim 14 , wherein the higher layer is a radio resource control (RRC) layer.

16. The at least one computer memory of claim 14 , wherein the UE-specific configured power saving information includes position information related to the DCI.

17. The at least one computer memory of claim 13 , wherein the period comprises an on-duration of a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle.

18. The at least one computer memory of claim 13 , wherein, based on a first resource for the DCI overlapping a second resource for measurement, the UE does not monitor the DCI on the first resource.
