Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and a device used for discontinuous reception. A first node monitors a first signal in a first time resource pool, a first bit block is used to generate the first signal, the first bit block comprises a MAC PDU, and the first bit block comprises a first identification component; and a second receiver, when the first signal is successfully received in the first time resource pool, monitors a first signaling in a first time-frequency resource block; when the first signal is not successfully received in the first time resource pool, drops monitoring a first signaling in a first time-frequency resource block. The application can avoid the introduction of sidelink MAC CE to maintain the compatibility with the existing standards as far as possible; in addition, the application can reduce the overhead of air interface.
