Abstract

The present specification provides a method of performing physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring by a terminal in a wireless communication system, comprising the steps of: receiving, from a network, information related to power saving; and performing the PDCCH monitoring on the basis of the received information related to the power saving, wherein the information related to the power saving, which is a single piece of information, is information indicating at least one of whether the terminal is to perform a wake-up operation or whether the terminal is to perform a sleep operation.

Claims (29)

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

receiving, from a network, a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration including a start value of a drx-inactivity timer;

receiving, from the network, information related to a power saving;

performing the PDCCH monitoring based on the information related to the power saving,

wherein the information related to the power saving, which is a single piece of information, is information informing at least one of (i) a wake-up signal (WUS) instructing that the UE performs a wake up operation or (ii) a go-to-sleep signal (GTS) instructing that the UE performs a sleep operation,

wherein, based on the start value of the drx-inactivity timer being less than a specific value, the information related to the power saving is interpreted as the WUS, and

wherein, based on the start value of the drx-inactivity timer being equal to or greater than the specific value, the information related to the power saving is interpreted as the GTS.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information related to the power saving is information based on N bits.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on the information related to the power saving informing that the UE performs the wake up operation, the UE performs the PDCCH monitoring based on a default power state, a lowest power state, or a full power state.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE performs the PDCCH monitoring based on a DRX operation,

wherein an on-duration is included in a period in which the DRX operation is performed.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein, based on the information related to the power saving being interpreted as the WUS,

the WUS informs whether the UE performs the wake up operation or not.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein, based on the UE receiving the WUS prior to the on-duration, the UE performs the wake up operation during the on-duration.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein, based on the information related to the power saving being interpreted as the GTS,

the GTS informs whether the UE performs the sleep operation during the on-duration.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein, based on the UE receiving the GTS before the on-duration, the UE performs the sleep operation during the on-duration.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on the UE performing the wake up operation, the UE performs the PDCCH monitoring,

wherein, based on the UE performing the sleep operation, the UE does not perform the PDCCH monitoring.

10. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

at least one transceiver for transmitting and receiving radio signals; and

at least one processor configured to operate in conjunction with the at least one transceiver, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

receive, from a network, a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration including a start value of a drx-inactivity timer;

receive, from the network, information related to a power saving;

perform the PDCCH monitoring based on the information related to the power saving,

wherein the information related to the power saving, which is a single piece of information, is information informing at least one of (i) a wake-up signal (WUS) instructing that the UE performs a wake up operation or (ii) a go-to-sleep signal (GTS) instructing that the UE performs a sleep operation,

wherein, based on the start value of the drx-inactivity timer being less than a specific value, the information related to the power saving is interpreted as the WUS, and

wherein, based on the start value of the drx-inactivity timer being equal to or greater than the specific value, the information related to the power saving is interpreted as the GTS.

11. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the UE communicates with at least one of a mobile terminal, a network, or an autonomous vehicle other than the UE.
