Abstract

A method by which a terminal monitors a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a wireless communication system, and a device therefor are provided. In the method, a terminal wakes up in a DRX cycle linked with a monitoring occasion so as to monitor a PDCCH if a wake up signal (WUS) monitoring occasion does not exist in a monitoring window for allowing the terminal to monitor the WUS.

Claims (31)

1. A method of operating a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a configuration message informing of monitoring occasions for detection of downlink control information (DCI) formats, wherein the DCI formats comprise a DCI format 2_6 including a wake-up indication;

based on at least one of the monitoring occasions being located within a time duration from a time indicated by an offset, where the UE starts monitoring a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for detection of the DCI format 2_6, prior to a slot where a next discontinuous reception (DRX)-on duration timer would start, monitoring a second PDCCH for detection of a DCI format other than the DCI format 2_6 in a next DRX-on duration depending on a value for the wake-up indication of the DCI format 2_6 detected in the at least one of the monitoring occasions; and

based on the monitoring occasions not being located within the time duration, monitoring the second PDCCH for detection of the DCI format other than the DCI format 2_6 in the next DRX-on duration.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein monitoring for the detection of the DCI format 2_6 is performed based on the at least one of the monitoring occasions being located within the time duration.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein monitoring for the detection of the DCI format 2_6 is not performed based on the monitoring occasions not being located within the time duration.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration message is a high layer message for configuring a search space.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a message informing of the offset.

6. A user equipment (UE), comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor being operatively connected to the transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a configuration message informing of monitoring occasions for detection of downlink control information (DCI) formats, wherein the DCI formats comprises a DCI format 2_6 including a wake-up indication,

based on at least one of the monitoring occasions being located within a time duration from a time indicated by an offset, where the UE starts monitoring a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for detection of the DCI format 2_6, prior to a slot where a next discontinuous reception (DRX)-on duration timer would start, monitor a second PDCCH for detection of a DCI format other than the DCI format 2_6 in a next DRX-on duration depending on a value for the wake-up indication of the DCI format 2_6 detected in the at least one of the monitoring occasions, and

based on the monitoring occasions not being located within the time duration, monitor the second PDCCH for detection of the DCI format other than the DCI format 2_6 in the next DRX-on duration.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein monitoring for the detection of the DCI format 2_6 is performed based on the at least one of the monitoring occasions being located within the time duration.

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein monitoring for the detection of the DCI format 2_6 is not performed based on the monitoring occasions not being located within the time duration.

9. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the configuration message is a high layer message for configuring a search space.

10. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive a message informing of the offset.

11. An apparatus operating in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled with the processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a configuration message informing of monitoring occasions for detection of downlink control information (DCI) formats, wherein the DCI formats comprises a DCI format 2_6 including a wake-up indication;

based on at least one of the monitoring occasions being located within a time duration from a time indicated by an offset, where the apparatus starts monitoring a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for detection of the DCI format 2_6, prior to a slot where a next discontinuous reception (DRX)-on duration timer would start, monitor a second PDCCH for detection of a DCI format other than the DCI format 2_6 in a next DRX-on duration depending on a value for the wake-up indication of the DCI format 2_6 in the at least one of the monitoring; and

based on the monitoring occasions not being located within the time duration, monitor the second PDCCH for detection of the DCI format other than the DCI format 2_6 in the next DRX-on duration.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein monitoring for the detection of the DCI format 2_6 is performed based on the at least one of the monitoring occasions being located within the time duration.

13. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein monitoring for the detection of the DCI format 2_6 is not performed based on the monitoring occasions not being located within the time duration.

14. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the configuration message is a high layer message for configuring a search space.

15. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive a message informing of the offset.
