Abstract

Claims (41)

1 . A user equipment (UE) configured for wireless communications, the UE comprising:

a receiver;

a transmitter; and

a processor, wherein:

the transmitter is configured to transmit a first signal;

the processor is configured to determine a target reference signal based on the first signal;

the processor and the receiver are configured to, in response to transmission of the first signal, monitor a first-type channel in a resource set;

the receiver and the processor are configured to receive a downlink control information (DCI), wherein the DCI is used to schedule a first channel;

the processor is configured to determine a target time based on the DCI;

the processor is configured to determine a transmission state;

the processor and the receiver are configured to continue to monitor the first-type channel in the resource set after the target time on a condition that the transmission state is only applied for the first channel; and

the processor and the receiver are configured to stop monitoring the first-type channel in the resource set after the target time

on a condition that the transmission state is also applied for at least a second channel apart from the first channel.

2 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein first information is used to determine whether the transmission state is also applied for at least the second channel apart from the first channel.

3 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein when each condition in a first condition set is satisfied, the processor is configured to stop monitoring the first-type channel in the resource set after the target time when the transmission state is also applied for at least the second channel apart from the first channel, wherein the first condition set comprises at least one condition.

4 . The UE of claim 3 , wherein the first condition set comprises that the DCI is transmitted in the resource set.

5 . The UE of claim 3 , wherein the first condition set comprises that the UE does not receive a second-type signaling after transmitting the first signal and before receiving the DCI.

6 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit a second signal wherein the second signal is used to determine that the DCI is correctly received, wherein time-domain resources occupied by the second signal are used to determine the target time, wherein the DCI is used to determine the time-domain resources occupied by the second signal.

7 . The UE of claim 6 , wherein the processor and the receiver are configured to receive a third signal in the first channel, wherein the DCI comprises scheduling information of the third signal, wherein the second signal comprises a hybrid automatic-repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) for the third signal.

8 . A method for use in a user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, the method comprising:

transmitting a first signal;

determining a target reference signal based on the first signal;

monitoring, in response to transmitting the first signal, a first-type channel in a first resource set;

receiving a downlink control information (DCI), wherein the DCI is used to schedule a first channel;

determining a target time based on the DCI;

determining a first transmission state;

continuing monitoring the first-type channel in the first resource set after the target time on a condition that the first transmission state is only applied for the first channel; and

stopping monitoring the first-type channel in the first resource set after the target time

on a condition that the first transmission state is also applied for at least a second channel apart from the first channel.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein first information is used to determine whether the transmission state is also applied for at least the second channel apart from the first channel.

10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein when each condition in a first condition set is satisfied, the method further comprises: stopping monitoring the first-type channel in the resource set after the target time when the transmission state is also applied for at least the second channel apart from the first channel, wherein the first condition set comprises at least one condition.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first condition set comprises that the DCI is transmitted in the resource set.

12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first condition set comprises that the UE does not receive a second-type signaling after transmitting the first signal and before receiving the DCI.

13 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

transmitting a second signal, wherein the second signal is used to determine that the DCI is correctly received, wherein time-domain resources occupied by the second signal are used to determine the target time, wherein the DCI is used to determine the time-domain resources occupied by the second signal.

14 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

receiving a third signal in the first channel, wherein the DCI comprises scheduling information of the third signal, wherein the second signal comprises a hybrid automatic-repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) for the third signal.

15 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the DCI is used for random access.

16 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to assumes same quasi-colocated (QCL) parameters as the target reference signal.

17 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the DCI is used for random access.

18 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the UE assumes same quasi-colocated (QCL) parameters as the target reference signal.
