Abstract

Provided are a method and device for monitoring a physical downlink control channel (POOCH) in a wireless communication system. The method, performed by a terminal supporting carrier aggregation, of monitoring the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) includes: receiving configuration information about a low power mode indicator that controls monitoring of a PDCCH, in at least one of a plurality of cells; based on the configuration information, determining whether the low power mode indicator is detected, in at least one cell for which the configuration information is received; and based on a result of the determining and information about a cell associated with the low power mode indicator, controlling the monitoring of the PDCCH, in a cell associated with the low power mode indicator from among the plurality of cells.

Claims (31)

1. A method, performed by a terminal supporting carrier aggregation, of monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the method comprising:

receiving, in at least one of a plurality of cells, configuration information including a low power mode indicator that controls monitoring of a PDCCH, in at least one of a plurality of cells and a table including indexes of Y(≤X) cells among a total of X cells;

based on the configuration information, determining whether the low power mode indicator is detected, in at least one cell for which the configuration information is received; and

based on a result of the determining and information about a cell associated with the low power mode indicator, controlling the monitoring of the PDCCH, in a cell associated with the low power mode indicator from among the plurality of cells,

wherein the table is indicated in bits of ceil(log 2(Y)) through L1 signaling.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the low power mode indicator comprises, as a signal for controlling the monitoring, at least one of downlink control information (DCI), a wake-up signal (WUS), a go-to-sleep (GTS) signal, or a monitoring adaptation signal (MAS).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving of the configuration information comprises receiving the configuration information through higher layer signaling including a master information block (MIB), a system information block (SIB), or a radio resource control (RRC) message.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information comprises at least one of transmission resource information, transmission period information, monitoring duration information, occasion configuration information, transmission configuration indicator (TCI) information, or quasi co-located (QCL) configuration information, for detection of the low power mode indicator.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein information about the cell associated with the low power mode indicator is comprised in higher layer signaling received from a base station, comprised in the configuration information, or comprised in the low power mode indicator.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cell associated with the low power mode indicator comprises an activated cell from among the plurality of cells, or comprises a cell pre-defined by the base station from among the plurality of cells.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the controlling of the monitoring of the PDCCH comprises:

when the low power mode indicator is determined to have been detected, performing monitoring for detecting the PDCCH in the cell associated with the low power mode indicator, based on information about the cell associated with the low power mode indicator; and

when the low power mode indicator is determined to have not been detected, not performing monitoring for detecting the PDCCH in the cell associated with the low power mode indicator, based on the information about the cell associated with the low power mode indicator.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one cell for which the configuration information is received is a cell corresponding to a frequency band lower than or equal to a certain frequency, and

the cell associated with the low power mode indicator is a cell corresponding to a frequency band higher than or equal to a certain frequency.

9. A terminal supporting carrier aggregation, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor connected to the transceiver,

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

receive, in at least one of a plurality of cells, configuration information including a low power mode indicator that controls monitoring of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and a table including indexes of Y(≤X) cells among a total of X cells;

based on the configuration information, determine whether the low power mode indicator is detected, in at least one cell for which the configuration information is received; and

based on a result of the determining and information about a cell associated with the low power mode indicator, control the monitoring of the PDCCH, in a cell associated with the low power mode indicator from among the plurality of cells,

wherein the table is indicated in bits of ceil(log 2(Y)) through L1 signaling.

10. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the low power mode indicator comprises, as a signal for controlling the monitoring, at least one of downlink control information (DCI), a wake-up signal (WUS), a go-to-sleep (GTS) signal, or a monitoring adaptation signal (MAS).

11. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the configuration information comprises at least one of transmission resource information, transmission period information, monitoring duration information, occasion configuration information, transmission configuration indicator (TCI) information, or quasi co-located (QCL) configuration information, for detection of the low power mode indicator.

12. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein information about the cell associated with the low power mode indicator is comprised in higher layer signaling received from the base station, comprised in the configuration information, or comprised in the low power mode indicator.

13. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the cell associated with the low power mode indicator comprises an activated cell from among the plurality of cells, or comprises a cell pre-defined by a base station from among the plurality of cells.

14. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the cell associated with the low power mode indicator comprises an activated cell from among the plurality of cells, or comprises a cell pre-defined by a base station from among the plurality of cells.

15. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

when the low power mode indicator is determined to have been detected, perform monitoring for detecting the PDCCH in the cell associated with the low power mode indicator, based on information about the cell associated with the low power mode indicator; and

when the low power mode indicator is determined to have not been detected, not perform monitoring for detecting the PDCCH in the cell associated with the low power mode indicator, based on the information about the cell associated with the low power mode indicator.
