Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method of monitoring, by a wireless device, a downlink channel or a downlink signal. The method may include a step of receiving configuration information on a power save signal. The power saving signal can be used to signal that the downlink channel or the downlink signal should be monitored later. The configuration information may contain configuration information on an opportunity to omit the power saving signal. The method may include a step of monitoring the downlink channel or the downlink signal without monitoring the energy saving signal during the opportunity to omit. The length and/or position of the opportunity of omission can be determined according to the configuration information of a discontinuous receive cycle (DRX).

Claims (31)

1. A method for monitoring a signal, the method performed by a wireless communication device and comprising:

receiving configuration information informing a monitoring occasion for detecting a wake up signal (WUS),

wherein the monitoring occasion is related to discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, and

wherein a first monitoring for detecting the WUS is not required based on a resource of the monitoring occasion overlapping a resource for a synchronization signal.

2. The method of claim 1 , based on a first monitoring for detecting the WUS not being required, performing a second monitoring for detecting the WUS in a next monitoring occasion.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information includes information for an expiration timer.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

driving the expiration timer.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising subsequently monitoring a downlink channel or downlink signal, based on the WUS not being received until the expiration timer expires.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the expiration timer is initiated in relation to a release of a radio resource control (RRC) connection.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the release of the RRC connection is performed based on a reception of a downlink control channel or a downlink data channel.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the release of the RRC connection is performed based on a transmission of an uplink control channel or an uplink data channel.

9. A wireless communication device configured to monitor a signal, the wireless communication device comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

receiving configuration information informing a monitoring occasion for detecting a wake up signal (WUS),

wherein the monitoring occasion is related to discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, and

wherein a first monitoring for detecting the WUS is not required based on a resource of the monitoring occasion overlapping a resource for a synchronization signal.

10. The wireless communication device of claim 9 , based on a first monitoring for detecting the WUS not being required, performing a second monitoring for detecting the WUS in a next monitoring occasion.

11. The wireless communication device of claim 9 , wherein the configuration information includes information for an expiration timer.

12. The wireless communication device of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise: driving the expiration timer.

13. The wireless communication device of claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise: subsequently monitoring a downlink channel or downlink signal, based on the WUS not being received until the expiration timer expires.

14. At least one computer memory operably connected to at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, control a device to perform operations comprising:

receiving configuration information informing a monitoring occasion for detecting a wake up signal (WUS),

wherein the monitoring occasion is related to discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, and

wherein a first monitoring for detecting the WUS is not required based on a resource of the monitoring occasion overlapping a resource for a synchronization signal.

15. The at least one computer memory of claim 14 , based on a first monitoring for detecting the WUS not being required, performing a second monitoring for detecting the WUS in a next monitoring occasion.

16. The at least one computer memory of claim 14 , wherein the configuration information includes information for an expiration timer.

17. The at least one computer memory of claim 16 , wherein the operations further comprise: driving the expiration timer.

18. The at least one computer memory of claim 17 , wherein the operations further comprise: subsequently monitoring a downlink channel or downlink signal, based on the WUS not being received until the expiration timer expires.
