Abstract

This application discloses a control information transmission method and device, and relates to the field of communications technologies, to reduce power consumption of UE. The control information transmission method provided in embodiments of this application includes: receiving, by user equipment UE, first indication information sent by a base station, where the first indication information indicates a first time window; and stopping, by the UE, monitoring a physical downlink control channel PDCCH in the first time window.

Claims (40)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving configuration information, wherein the configuration information comprises at least a first group identifier and a second group identifier, the first group identifier corresponds to a first group of search space sets, and the second group identifier corresponds to a second group of search space sets;

receiving first indication information, wherein the first indication information is related to the first group identifier and indicates user equipment (UE) to stop monitoring physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on a first carrier which the first group of search space sets is on; and

stopping monitoring the PDCCH on the first carrier which the first group of search space sets is on.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein receiving the first indication information comprises:

receiving the first indication information in a second carrier which a third group of search space sets is on.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a second indication information, wherein the second indication information is related to the second group identifier and indicates the UE to monitor PDCCH on a third carrier which the second group of search space sets is on; and

monitoring the PDCCH on the third carrier which the second group of search space sets is on.

4. A method, comprising:

sending configuration information, wherein the configuration information comprises at least a first group identifier and a second group identifier, the first group identifier corresponds to a first group of search space sets, and the second group identifier corresponds to a second group of search space sets; and

sending first indication information, wherein the first indication information is related to the first group identifier and indicates user equipment (UE) to stop monitoring physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on a first carrier which the first group of search space sets is on.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein sending the first indication information comprises:

sending the first indication information in a second carrier which a third group of search space sets is on.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the method further comprises:

sending a second indication information, wherein the second indication information is related to the second group identifier and indicates the UE to monitor PDCCH on a third carrier which the second group of search space sets is on.

7. An apparatus, comprising one or more processors coupled to one or more memories storing programming instructions for execution by the one or more processors to cause the apparatus to perform a method comprising:

receiving configuration information, wherein the configuration information comprises at least a first group identifier and a second group identifier, the first group identifier corresponds to a first group of search space sets, and the second group identifier corresponds to a second group of search space sets;

receiving first indication information, wherein the first indication information is related to the first group identifier and indicates the apparatus to stop monitoring physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on a first carrier which the first group of search space sets is on; and

stopping monitoring the PDCCH on the first carrier which the first group of search space sets is on.

8. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein receiving the first indication information comprises:

receiving the first indication information in a second carrier which a third group of search space sets is on.

9. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a second indication information, wherein the second indication information is related to the second group identifier and indicates the apparatus to monitor PDCCH on a third carrier which the second group of search space sets is on; and

monitoring the PDCCH on the third carrier which the second group of search space sets is on.

10. An apparatus, comprising one or more processors coupled to one or more memories storing programming instructions for execution by the one or more processors to cause the apparatus performs operations comprising:

sending configuration information, wherein the configuration information comprises at least a first group identifier and a second group identifier, the first group identifier corresponds to a first group of search space sets, and the second group identifier corresponds to a second group of search space sets; and

sending first indication information, wherein the first indication information is related to the first group identifier and indicates user equipment (UE) to stop monitoring physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on a first carrier which the first group of search space sets is on.

11. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein sending the first indication information comprises:

sending the first indication information in a second carrier which a third group of search space sets is on.

12. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise:

sending a second indication information, wherein the second indication information is related to the second group identifier and indicates the UE to monitor PDCCH on a third carrier which the second group of search space sets is on.

13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first carrier is a secondary carrier.

14. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the first carrier is a secondary carrier.

15. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the first carrier is a secondary carrier.

16. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the first carrier is a secondary carrier.

17. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the first indication information and the second indication information is carried by downlink control information (DCI).

18. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the first indication information and the second indication information is carried by downlink control information (DCI).

19. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the first indication information and the second indication information is carried by downlink control information (DCI).

20. The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the first indication information and the second indication information is carried by downlink control information (DCI).
