Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and device used for discontinuous reception (DRX) for wireless communications. A first node receives first information, the first information indicates a first identity (ID); determines a start time of a first timer according to the first ID; at the start time of the first timer, starts the first timer; when the first timer is running, monitors a first radio signal in each candidate slot; herein, the first ID belongs to a link-layer ID; the start time of the first timer is a start time of a first time interval. The present disclosure determines a start time of a first timer according to a first ID, which can randomize start times of user's DRX, avoiding possible system congestion and increasing transmission accuracy.

Claims (46)

1. A first node for wireless communications, comprising:

a first receiver, receiving first information, the first information indicating a first identity (ID), the first ID belonging to a link-layer ID; determining a start time of a first timer according to the first ID; at the start time of the first timer, starting the first timer; and

a second receiver, when the first timer is running, monitoring a first radio signal in each candidate slot;

wherein the start time of the first timer is a start time of a first time interval; a remainder of an index of a first subframe in an FN (Frame Number) period divided by a first time length is the same as a remainder of the first ID divided by the first time length;

the first subframe comprises the first time interval.

2. The first node according to claim 1 , comprising:

the second receiver, when the first timer is running, updating the first timer in each second time interval.

3. The first node according to claim 1 , comprising:

the first receiver, receiving second information, the second information indicating a first expiration value of the first timer.

4. The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the first time length is a drx-ShortCycle, or a drx-LongCycle.

5. The first node according to claim 1 , comprising:

the first receiver, receiving third information, the third information indicating an FN and a subframe number;

wherein the FN and the subframe number are used for determining the index of the first subframe in the FN period.

6. The first node according to claim 1 , comprising:

the first receiver, receiving a first signaling;

wherein the first signaling is a MAC (Medium Access Control) control element used for DRX (Discontinuous Reception).

7. A second node for wireless communications, comprising:

a second transmitter, transmitting first information, the first information comprising a first identity) ID, the first ID belonging to a link-layer ID; and

a third transmitter, when a first timer is running, transmitting a first radio signal in a candidate slot;

wherein the first ID is used for indicating a start time of the first timer; at the start time of the first timer, the first timer is started; the start time of the first timer is a start time of a first time interval; a remainder of an index of a first subframe in an FN (Frame Number) period divided by a first time length is the same as a remainder of the first ID divided by the first time length;

the first subframe comprises the first time interval.

8. The second node according to claim 7 , comprising:

the second transmitter, transmitting second information, the second information comprising a first expiration value of the first timer.

9. The second node according to claim 7 , wherein the first time length is a drx-ShortCycle, or a drx-LongCycle.

10. The second node according to claim 7 , comprising:

the second transmitter, transmitting third information, and the third information indicating an FN and a subframe number;

wherein the FN and the subframe number are used for indicating the index of the first subframe in the FN period.

11. The second node according to claim 7 , comprising:

the second transmitter, transmitting a first signaling;

wherein the first signaling is a MAC (Medium Access Control) control element used for DRX (Discontinuous Reception).

12. A method in a first node for wireless communications, comprising:

receiving first information, the first information indicating a first (identity) ID, the first ID belonging to a link-layer ID; determining a start time of a first timer according to the first ID; at the start time of the first timer, starting the first timer; and

when the first timer is running, monitoring a first radio signal in each candidate slot;

wherein the start time of the first timer is a start time of a first time interval; a remainder of an index of a first subframe in an FN (Frame Number) period divided by a first time length is the same as a remainder of the first ID divided by the first time length;

the first subframe comprises the first time interval.

13. The method in a first node according to claim 12 , comprising:

when the first timer is running, updating the first timer in each second time interval.

14. The method in a first node according to claim 12 , comprising:

receiving second information, the second information indicating a first expiration value of the first timer.

15. The method in a first node according to claim 12 , wherein the first time length is a drx-ShortCycle, or a drx-LongCycle.

16. The method in a first node according to claim 12 , comprising:

receiving third information, the third information indicating an FN and a subframe number;

wherein the FN and the subframe number are used for determining the index of the first subframe in the FN period.

17. The method in a first node according to claim 12 , comprising:

receiving a first signaling;

wherein the first signaling is a MAC (Medium Access Control) control element used for DRX (Discontinuous Reception).
