User equipment and method performed by the same in wireless communication system
A user equipment (UE) and a method performed by the same in a wireless communication system are provided. The method includes receiving a downlink (DL) signal including a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and/or a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and/or transmitting an uplink (UL) signal including a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and/or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), where the UE monitors the PDCCH when the UE is in active time of a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode. The method can reduce the power consumption of the UE.
1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) based on the UE being in an active time of a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode;
in case that downlink control information (DCI) on the PDCCH is not detected, starting a downlink (DL) round-trip time (RTT) timer for a predetermined hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process, in a first predetermined time;
receiving, from a base station, the DCI while the DL RTT timer is running;
receiving, from the base station, a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled by the DCI;
generating HARQ-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information corresponding to the PDSCH; and
transmitting the HARQ-ACK information on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying that an uplink (UL) transmission of the HARQ-ACK information is delayed; and
based on the identification, starting a downlink (DL) retransmission timer for a HARQ process corresponding to the PDSCH.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
starting a fourth predetermined timer in a third predetermined time, in case that the UE receives the PDCCH activating a semi persistent scheduling (SPS) PDSCH or an uplink (UL) Type-2 configured grant PUSCH,
wherein the UE is in the active time of the DRX mode for PDCCH monitoring when the fourth predetermined timer is running.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
starting a fifth predetermined timer in a fourth predetermined time, in case that the UE receives the PDSCH for a service; and
stopping at least one of an inactivity timer, a DL retransmission timer, an uplink (UL) retransmission timer, a DL RTT timer, or a UL RTT timer for all HARQ processes associated with the service, in case that the fifth predetermined timer expires.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE stops at least one of an uplink (UL) retransmission timer or a UL RTT timer for a HARQ process associated with a transmission of the PUSCH in a fifth predetermined time, in case that the PUSCH includes only the HARQ-ACK information.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of a first predetermined time, a third predetermined time, a fourth predetermined time and a fifth predetermined time is based on at least one of:
a first time unit after an end of an uplink (UL) transmission carrying the HARQ-ACK information;
a start of a time unit after the end of the UL transmission carrying the HARQ-ACK information;
a first time unit after an end of a reception of the PDCCH;
a first time unit after a DL RTT timer expires;
a first time unit after a UL RTT timer expires; or
a first time unit after an end of a first repetition or a last repetition of the UL transmission carrying the HARQ-ACK information, in case that the UL transmission includes repetitions.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein each of a fourth predetermined timer or a fifth predetermined timer includes at least one of: a DL retransmission timer, a UL retransmission timer, an inactivity timer, a DL RTT timer, a UL RTT timer, an ON duration timer, or a newly defined timer.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein whether to detect DCI on the PDCCH is identified based on a downlink assignment indication (DAI).
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined HARQ process includes at least one of (i) a HARQ process without a feedback of a HARQ-ACK or (iii) a HARQ process corresponding to a DL RTT timer that expires.
10. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals; and
a controller coupled to the transceiver and configured to:
monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) based on the UE being in an active time of a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode,
in case that downlink control information (DCI) on the PDCCH is not detected, start a downlink (DL) round-trip time (RTT) timer for a predetermined hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process, in a first predetermined time,
receive, from a base station, the DCI while the DL RTT timer is running,
receive, from the base station, a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled by the DCI,
generate HARQ-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information corresponding to the PDSCH, and
transmit the HARQ-ACK information on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).
11. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
identify that an uplink (UL) transmission of the HARQ-ACK information is delayed, and
based on the identification, start a downlink (DL) retransmission timer for a HARQ process corresponding to the PDSCH.
12. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the controller is further configured to start a fourth predetermined timer in a third predetermined time, in case that the UE receives the PDCCH activating a semi persistent scheduling (SPS) PDSCH or an uplink (UL) Type-2 configured grant PUSCH, and wherein the UE is in the active time of the DRX mode for PDCCH monitoring when the fourth predetermined timer is running.
13. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
start a fifth predetermined timer in a fourth predetermined time, in case that the UE receives the PDSCH for a service, and
stop at least one of an inactivity timer, a DL retransmission timer, an uplink (UL) retransmission timer, a DL RTT timer, or a UL RTT timer for all HARQ processes associated with the service, in case that the fifth predetermined timer expires.
14. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the controller is configured to stop at least one of an uplink (UL) retransmission timer or a UL round-trip time (RTT) timer for a HARQ process associated with a transmission of the PUSCH in a fifth predetermined time, in case that the PUSCH includes only the HARQ-ACK information.
15. The UE of claim 10 , wherein each of a first predetermined time, a third predetermined time, a fourth predetermined time and a fifth predetermined time is based on at least one of:
a first time unit after an end of an uplink (UL) transmission carrying the HARQ-ACK information;

a first time unit after an end of a reception of the PDCCH;
a first time unit after a DL RTT timer expires;
a first time unit after a UL RTT timer expires; or
a first time unit after an end of a first repetition or a last repetition in the UL transmission carrying the HARQ-ACK information, in case that the UL transmission includes repetitions.
16. The UE of claim 15 , wherein each of a fourth predetermined timer or a fifth predetermined timer includes at least one of: a DL retransmission timer, a UL retransmission timer, an inactivity timer, a DL RTT timer, a UL RTT timer, an ON duration timer, or a newly defined timer.
