Abstract

A wireless device receives configuration parameters indicating duration values for skipping physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring on a bandwidth part (BWP). The duration values are from: first values in response to the BWP having a first subcarrier spacing (SCS) and second values in response to the BWP having a second SCS, with each value of the second values being equal to multiplication of a respective value, of the first values, and a same granularity value. The wireless device may receive a downlink control information (DCI) indicating skipping PDCCH monitoring on the BWP for a time duration based on a duration value of the duration values. The wireless device may skip monitoring the PDCCH on the BWP for the time duration, based on the DCI.

Claims (34)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, configuration parameters indicating duration values for skipping physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring on a bandwidth part (BWP), wherein the duration values are from:

first values in response to the BWP having a first subcarrier spacing (SCS); and

second values in response to the BWP having a second SCS, wherein each value of the plurality of second values is equal to multiplication of a respective value, of the plurality of first values, and a same granularity value;

receiving a downlink control information (DCI) indicating skipping PDCCH monitoring on the BWP for a time duration based on a duration value of the duration values; and

skipping monitoring the PDCCH on the BWP for the time duration based on the DCI.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters are received in radio resource (RRC) messages.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the duration value is in unit of slots, and wherein the first values and the second values are in units of slots.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first values and the second values are predefined values.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising resuming monitoring the PDCCH on the BWP after the time duration.

6. The method claim 1 , wherein the same granularity value is a predefined value of a ratio of the second SCS to the first SCS.

7. The method claim 1 , wherein the DCI is received in a discontinuous reception (DRX) active time of a DRX configuration, wherein the DRX configuration is indicated in the RRC messages.

8. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a base station to a wireless device, configuration parameters indicating duration values for skipping physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring on a bandwidth part (BWP), wherein the duration values are from:

first values in response to the BWP having a first subcarrier spacing (SCS); and

second values in response to the BWP having a second SCS, wherein each value of the second values is equal to multiplication of a respective value, of the first values, and a same granularity value;

transmitting a downlink control information (DCI) indicating to the wireless device to skip PDCCH monitoring on the BWP for a time duration based on a duration value of the duration values, wherein the wireless device is configured to skip PDCCH monitoring on the BWP for the time duration based on the DCI.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the configuration parameters are transmitted in radio resource (RRC) messages.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the duration value is in unit of slots, and wherein the first values and the second values are in units of slots.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first values and the second values are predefined values.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the same granularity value per SCS is a predefined value of a ratio of the second SCS to the respective first SCS.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the DCI is transmitted in a discontinuous reception (DRX) active time of a DRX configuration, wherein the DRX configuration is indicated in the RRC messages.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wireless device, cause the wireless device to:

receive configuration parameters indicating duration values for skipping physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring on a bandwidth part (BWP), wherein the duration values are from:

first values in response to the BWP having a first subcarrier spacing (SCS); and

second values in response to the BWP having a second SCS, wherein each value of the plurality of second values is equal to multiplication of a respective value, of the plurality of first values, and a same granularity value;

receive a downlink control information (DCI) indicating skipping PDCCH monitoring on the BWP for a time duration based on a duration value of the duration values; and

skip monitoring the PDCCH on the BWP for the time duration based on the DCI.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium claim 14 , wherein the configuration parameters are received in radio resource (RRC) messages.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium claim 14 , wherein the duration value is in unit of slots, and wherein the first values and the second values are in units of slots.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium claim 14 , wherein the first values and the second values are predefined values.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium claim 14 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to resume monitoring the PDCCH on the BWP after the time duration.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium claim 14 , wherein the same granularity value is a predefined value of a ratio of the second SCS to the first SCS.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium claim 14 , wherein the DCI is received in a discontinuous reception (DRX) active time of a DRX configuration, wherein the DRX configuration is indicated in the RRC messages.
