Abstract

The present application discloses a method and a device used for DRX. A first node receives K radio signal, K being a positive integer greater than 1; and updates a first timer per candidate slot passed when a value of the first timer is unequal to a first expiration value; or stops a first timer when a value of the first timer is equal to a first expiration value; herein, physical-layer channels occupied by the K radio signals respectively comprise K PSSCHs, and the K radio signals respectively comprise K Destination ID fields, the K Destination ID fields respectively being indicated by K SCIs; active time of the first node comprises time while the first timer is running, the first timer being a DRX-related timer. The present application can avoid misunderstanding of the state of the first timer, thus reducing power consumption and air-interface interferences.

Claims (26)

1. A first node for wireless communications, comprising:

a first receiver, receiving K radio signals, K being a positive integer greater than 1; and updating a first timer per candidate slot passed when a value of the first timer is unequal to a first expiration value; or stopping a first timer when a value of the first timer is equal to a first expiration value;

wherein the K radio signals respectively indicate K expiration values; the K expiration values are used together to determine the first expiration value; physical-layer channels occupied by the K radio signals respectively comprise K PSSCHs, and the K radio signals respectively comprise K Destination ID fields, the K Destination ID fields respectively being indicated by K SCIs; active time of the first node includes the time while the first timer is running, the first timer being a DRX-related timer.

2. The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the first expiration value is a maximum of the K expiration values.

3. The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the first expiration value is a least common multiple of the K expiration values.

4. The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the K radio signals respectively comprise the K SCIs, the K expiration values respectively being indicated by the K SCIs.

5. The first node according to claim 1 , wherein transmission channels occupied by the K radio signals respectively comprise K SL-SCHs.

6. The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the first timer is a Sidelink OnDurationTimer, or, the first timer is a Sidelink drx-InactivityTimer.

7. The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the K radio signals are applicable signals sent from multiple transmitting UEs.

8. The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the K radio signals contain K RRC signalings, K pieces of configuration information are respectively indicated by the K RRC signalings, and the K expiration values are respectively indicated by expiration value fields comprised in the K pieces of configuration information.

9. A second node for wireless communications, comprising:

a second transmitter, transmitting a first radio signal, the first radio signal indicating a first candidate expiration value;

wherein the first candidate expiration value is one of K expiration values, K being a positive integer greater than 1; the K expiration values are respectively indicated by K radio signals, and the K expiration values are used together by a receiver of the first radio signal for determining a first expiration value; when a value of a first timer is unequal to the first expiration value, the first timer is updated per candidate slot passed; when a value of a first timer is equal to the first expiration value, the first timer is stopped; the K radio signals respectively comprise K Destination ID fields, the K Destination ID fields respectively being indicated by K SCIs; active time of the receiver of the first radio signal includes the time while the first timer is running, the first timer being a DRX-related timer.

10. The second node according to claim 9 , wherein the first expiration value is a maximum of the K expiration values.

11. The second node according to claim 9 , wherein the first expiration value is a least common multiple of the K expiration values.

12. The second node according to claim 9 , wherein the K radio signals respectively comprise the K SCIs, the K expiration values respectively being indicated by the K SCIs.

13. The second node according to claim 9 , wherein the first timer is a Sidelink OnDurationTimer, or, the first timer is a Sidelink drx-InactivityTimer.

14. The second node according to claim 9 , wherein the K radio signals contain K RRC signalings, K pieces of configuration information are respectively indicated by the K RRC signalings, and the K expiration values are respectively indicated by expiration value fields comprised in the K pieces of configuration information.

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

receiving K radio signals, K being a positive integer greater than 1; and updating a first timer per candidate slot passed when a value of the first timer is unequal to a first expiration value; or stopping a first timer when a value of the first timer is equal to a first expiration value;

wherein the K radio signals respectively indicate K expiration values; the K expiration values are used together to determine the first expiration value; physical-layer channels occupied by the K radio signals respectively comprise K PSSCHs, and the K radio signals respectively comprise K Destination ID fields, the K Destination ID fields respectively being indicated by K SCIs; active time of the first node includes the time while the first timer is running, the first timer being a DRX-related timer.

16. The method in the first node according to claim 15 , wherein the first expiration value is a maximum of the K expiration values.

17. The method in the first node according to claim 15 , wherein the first expiration value is a least common multiple of the K expiration values.

18. The method in the first node according to claim 15 , wherein the K radio signals respectively comprise K SCIs, the K expiration values respectively being indicated by the K SCIs.

19. The method in the first node according to claim 15 , wherein the first timer is a Sidelink OnDurationTimer, or, the first timer is a Sidelink drx-InactivityTimer.

20. The method in the first node according to claim 15 , wherein the K radio signals contain K RRC signalings, K pieces of configuration information are respectively indicated by the K RRC signalings, and the K expiration values are respectively indicated by expiration value fields comprised in the K pieces of configuration information.
